history
The area around Rassnitz was already settled in prehistoric times. A little north of today's place was the 1800 BC. Bornhöck , one of the largest and most important burial mounds of the early Bronze Age Aunjetitz culture , was erected in the 19th century and removed in the 19th century .
Rassnitz was first mentioned in the chronicle of Bishop Thietmar von Merseburg : On November 8th (today's calendar October 25th) 1015 he was told by Archbishop Gero von Magdeburg a . a. the village of Rosneci received. It was independent until the regional reform in 1950, when the districts of Weßmar in the east and Pritschöna in the west were assigned. Raßnitz is part of the Schkopau community .
Weßmar was once a parish village ( Sankt Michaelis Church ) and belonged to the monks of the Merseburg Peterskloster from 1091 until the end of the 16th century. In the course of the Reformation , the property was secularized and until 1945 ( land reform ) was in the hands of aristocratic families (including von Kitzschern, von der Oelsnitz, von der Schulenburg, von Grünberg). The larger Raßnitz was considered a parish. Until 1815, Weßmar and Raßnitz belonged to the Schkeuditz Office of Merseburg , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the Secondary Education Principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . After the plague epidemics in 1597, 1610/11, 1630 and 1633 (probably) typhus epidemics occurred in 1636 and 1643 , brought in by soldiers of the Thirty Years' War . It can be assumed, but has not yet been proven, that they set Raßnitz on fire on March 10, 1636.
Pritschöna, on the other hand, belonged to the hall circle of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg . The place was under aristocratic jurisdiction, some of which also belonged to the theological faculty in Halle. In 1680 Pritschöna came to the Duchy of Magdeburg under Brandenburg-Prussian rule. With the Peace of Tilsit , Pritschöna was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1807 and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. The place belonged to the canton of Dieskau . After Napoleon's defeat and the end of the Kingdom of Westphalia, Napoleon's allied opponents liberated the Saalkreis in early October 1813.
Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Raßnitz and Weßmar were ceded to Prussia with the western part of the Schkeuditz office in 1815. During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Raßnitz, Weßmar and Pritschöna were attached to the Merseburg administrative district of the Prussian province of Saxony in 1816. Raßnitz and Weßmar were assigned to the Merseburg district and Pritschöna to the Saalkreis.
During the first district reform in the GDR on July 1, 1950, Weßmar and Pritschöna were incorporated into Raßnitz. The latter then moved to the Merseburg district. During the second district reform in the GDR, Raßnitz came to the Merseburg district in the Halle district in 1952 , which came to the Merseburg-Querfurt district in 1994 and to the Saale district in 2007 . On August 1, 2004, Raßnitz and its districts were incorporated into Schkopau.
Since there is lignite under Raßnitz , it was planned to mine it north of the village after the First World War , but this was not done during the Second World War . The White Elster was relocated from 1959 to 68 (the northern dike is now a cycle path between Leipzig and Halle ), whereupon the Merseburg-Ost opencast mine south of Raßnitz was opened from 1971 to 73 . Up until 1991, around 116 million tons of salt coal had been mined ; just as much overburden was moved. As a result of the flooding of the open-cast mine halves, renovation and renaturation, the Wallendorfer See and the Raßnitzer See were created .
Since 1959 there has been a correctional facility on a site north of the village . After a new building completed in 2002, the Raßnitz youth institution is now housed on this site .
