history

Söhesten belonged to the Electorate of Saxony until 1806 and to the Kingdom of Saxony until 1815 . The place was subordinate to the Hochstift-Merseburg office of Lützen , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 .

In 1713 the entire village corridor was measured and mapped by sons. The corresponding land register is still available.

As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Söhesten and the western part of the Lützen district came to Prussia in 1815. The place was assigned to the administrative district Merseburg of the province of Saxony in 1816. Söhesten belonged to the Merseburg district .

During the first district reform in the GDR, Söhesten was reclassified to the Weissenfels district on July 1, 1950 and also incorporated into Muschwitz.

On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Muschwitz, Großgörschen , Poserna , Rippach and Starsiedel merged with the city of Lützen to form the new city of Lützen.
