history
In 929 Robert Wolfram named the castle Regis in his supplement to the chronicle of the city of Borna . Regis was in the Gau Plisni at the time . Around 1100 Regis became one of the “most distinguished cities in the Gau Plisni” next to Altenburg , Zwickau , Leisnig , Colditz u. a. called. In 1186, an "Albertus de Riguz" - Albert von Regis - appeared as a witness in a document from Bishop Berthold II . This year Regis is also mentioned for the first time as Riguz in the homeland book “Das Altenburger Land” . In 1208 the Pleißner Land was administered by the Altenburg court. It also recorded Regis, where the Sorbs had built the aforementioned castle. In the bull of Pope Gregory IX. from 1228 a "castrum et oppidum Riguz", ie castle and place Regis was called. In 1265 a purchase contract was signed between the Landgrave of Thuringia and the Bishop of Merseburg in campo Bredingin , Gut Breitingen. This is considered to be the date Breitingen was first mentioned.
When the armistice was signed after the Battle of Lucka in 1307, the Roman-German King Albrecht von Habsburg is said to have stayed at Regis Castle. In 1355 Breitingen was sold to the Naumburg-Zeitz Abbey . The episcopal office of Breitingen was first mentioned in 1369. It included the minor ownership of the bishopric in northern Pleißenland. These included the three places Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda . In 1382 the territories of the Margraviate of Meissen were divided . This brought Regis and Breitingen to the Osterland . In 1404 the Naumburg bishop bought Wiesen in Regis for the monastery, as well as in 1407 Wiesen, which belonged to an Altenburg priest. In 1413 the bishop also bought feudal estates and the Regiser mill. In 1430, the Naumburg Abbey finally acquired half of the village of Breitingen. In the Saxon fratricidal war Regis and Breitingen were 1450 by allies of Duke Wilhelm III. looted and burned down. In the course of the introduction of the Reformation , the Breitingen office came to the Ephorie Zeitz in 1536 . Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda have been Lutheran since 1542 . After the death of the last Naumburg bishop Julius von Pflug in 1564, the bishopric and his offices passed to the Albertine Elector August I of Saxony as administrator. In 1564 the Zeitz office was formed from the monastery property around Zeitz, to which the Breitingen office, which was spatially separated from this, was added to. Although the name "Amt Breitingen" remained in use, it appears as a manor district with associated places in the listing of the Amt Zeitz.
Regis and Breitingen were hit by the plague six times between 1585 and 1643. The places were looted several times during the Thirty Years' War . Between 1656/57 and 1718 included cash and Breitingen as part of the Office for Zeitz wettinischen Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Zeitz . In 1676, Brandenburg troops occupied the place. In 1688 the so-called beer war raged in Regis . During the Seven Years' War the places were occupied by Prussian troops in 1755 and in 1761 Regis is set on fire. As early as 1806, French troops were again encamping in the city, this time. In 1810, there is evidence that lignite was mined in the area for the first time, which will affect the city for centuries. In 1815 the Zeitz office was ceded to Prussia by the Congress of Vienna . The previous Breitingen office was dissolved, but remains with the Kingdom of Saxony. Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda came to the Borna office like the Zeitz exclaves Nehmitz, Hagenest and Wildenhain . On December 19, 1855, the patrimonial jurisdiction of the Breitingen manor was dissolved via Regis, Breitingen and Blumroda. The Royal District Court of Borna took over the jurisdiction . Since 1875 Regis and Breitingen have been part of the Borna administration .
In 1906 the Regis briquette factory was built. It was in operation until 1993. In 1920 Regis and Breitingen merged to form the new town of Regis-Breitingen. Since 1909, numerous opencast mines have opened around the place. In the east these were the Neukirchen and Kraft I opencast mines. To the north of Regis-Breitingen, the Regis I-IV and Blumroda opencast mines were built between 1909 and 1954. Next door, the southern field of the Borna-West opencast mine devoured the landscape between 1939 and 1970, including the town of Blumroda. In 1930 the first parts of Regis were dredged over. In 1941 there were plans to dig over the location of Regis and to settle "Neu-Regis" between Regis-Nord and Deutzen , but in 1944 this was rejected. In 1955, the Haselbach opencast mine, west of Breitingen, began to be opened up and was in operation until 1977. In 1960 this excavated part of the Breitinger Flur towards Kammerforst.
In 1980 the Regis-Breitingen community association was founded.
Until July 1, 2014, the city was the administrative seat of the administrative association of the same name .
