Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Railway viaduct over the Rippach

Federal motorway 9 runs west of the municipality and federal motorway 38 to the north . The Rippachtal motorway junction (opened in November 1997) is located in the north-western part of the municipality. There are no longer motorway connections in the municipality, the next driveways are Weißenfels (A9, connection 20), Bad Dürrenberg / Lützen (A9, connection 18) and Lützen-Süd (A 38, connection 28).

The federal highway 87 , which has been rededicated to the L 188 between Weißenfels and Lützen, runs directly through the community . Between the districts of Pörsten and Rippach, the K 2196 branches off to the district of Pörsten-Bahnhof. It later crosses the L 189 and joins the B 176 at Hohenmölsen. The K 2190 branches off in the Rippach district. It runs through the districts of Großgöhren and Kleingöhren. Later it meets the L 189 in Starsiedel .

The Groß Korbetha – Deuben railway via Pörsten and Hohenmölsen has been without passenger traffic since 1999. It is still used for coal transports from the Profen lignite mining area from Wählitz near Hohenmölsen to Korbetha for the Schkopau power plant . The Leipzig-Plagwitz – Pörsten railway line via Lützen has been closed since 1998 (last run on May 23, 1998) and was dismantled in 2005 after the statutory waiting period. In the municipality there is still the cut of the terrain at Großgöhren up to the viaduct, the viaduct over the Rippach (completed in January 1898) and the subsequent embankment to the disused Pörsten station.

The Rippach brook flowing through the village has no meaning as a traffic route, but gave the valley and thus the motorway junction its name.

societies

In Rippach there is also a traditional club, the Schützenverein Rippachtal eV (40 active members).
