Sössen is a district of the city of Lützen in the Burgenland district in Saxony-Anhalt .
geography
Sössen is located between Leipzig and Weißenfels . Geographically, the place is assigned to the Leipzig lowland bay. Furthermore, Sössen and its districts are part of the "Lützen lignite reserve deposit" due to the coal-bearing subsoil.
Community structure
The village of Sössen consists of the three districts Gostau, Sössen and Stößwitz.
history
The district of Gostau is the oldest, it was first mentioned in a document in 1012. The district of Sössen was first recorded in 1277 and the Slavic cul-de-sac village of Stößwitz was dated to 1432. Sössen, Gostau and Stößwitz belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburgischen Amt Lützen until 1815 , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the three places with the western part of the Lützen district came to Prussia in 1815. They were the 1816 Merseburg in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated.
During the first district reform in the GDR, Sössen, Gostau and Stößwitz were reclassified into the Weißenfels district on July 1, 1950 and incorporated into Starsiedel . With the second district reform in 1952, the three places came to the Weißenfels district in the Halle district , which in 1990 became the Weißenfels district again and was incorporated into the Burgenland district in 2007. On January 1, 1957, Sössen, Gostau and Stößwitz formed the community Sössen, which was spun off from Starsiedel at the same time.
The municipality of Sössen was incorporated into the city of Lützen by law on January 1, 2011 and thereby lost its political independence. Until it was dissolved, it belonged to the Lützen-Wiesengrund administrative community , which had its administrative headquarters in the city of Lützen and also ceased to exist on January 1, 2011.

Brown coal deposit and mining plans
Due to its coal-bearing subsoil, the village of Sössen is one of the lignite deposits located below and around Lützen and geologically belongs to the Weißelster basin of the Leipzig lowland bay . The Gustav Adolf opencast mine was opened as early as 1920. However, due to problems with the groundwater system, mining had to be stopped as early as 1929. A striking building object from this time is the still existing, but dilapidated coal charging system, which was built not far from Röcken parallel to the already dismantled railway line. After 1990 the dump of the open pit was reforested with softwood plants. Comprehensive mining plans in the form of a large open-cast mine were no longer implemented in the period that followed, especially during the existence of the GDR , even if exploratory drilling was carried out at the instigation of the district planning commission of the Halle district in the Lützen field from 1984 to 1985 , which later devastated the Röcken community as part of the The energy industry policy announced by the SED for the "radical exploitation of all lignite deposits" provided for after the year 2000 at the earliest.
At the beginning of February 2006, the Mitteldeutsche Braunkohlengesellschaft announced that it would carry out test boreholes to investigate the quality of coal in the communities of Röcken and Sössen with regard to possible future development. These test bores began on July 20, 2006 in the Stößwitz district, which provoked the protest of the residents. A citizens' initiative was formed, which is now working together with the initiatives of the neighboring community of Röcken and the nearby town of Lützen. On February 10, 2007, the citizens' initiatives of Röcken and Sössen, which were active against lignite mining, declared their merger and membership of the "Future instead of lignite" alliance in Schneidlingen . Surveys of residents in both municipalities revealed an overwhelming majority of citizens who are against the opening of an opencast mine and want to defend their homeland.
