history
middle Ages
Sangerhausen is probably a Franconian foundation. The settlement was mentioned for the first time in a document book of the Fulda monastery drawn up between 780 and 802 . In a register of the tithe of the Hersfeld monastery , which was created between 881 and 899, Sangerhausen is named as a place of tenancy, Sangerhus im Friesenfeld . In 991 the village belonged to the Memleben monastery . From the 10th century there was a Fronhof in the area of today's Ulrich Church. After Sangerhausen was granted market rights between 1004 and 1017, a market town was created in the area of today's Old Market . This grew together with the Frohnhof in the north due to the influx of merchants. In 1194 the village was granted town charter. In 1204 the current city was protected by a palisade fence, in 1263 it received a city wall and in 1485 it fell to the Albertine line of the Wettins . Important industry had since the Middle Ages, the silver and copper - mining . In 1391 groschengeld was minted for the first time in the history of Meissnian groschen outside the state mint in Freiberg in the newly established mint in Sangerhausen . The new coin was built for payment obligations in the Harz silver mining.
Since many citizens of Sangerhausen took part in the Peasants' War in 1525 , the city was punished with 5,000 guilders and seven executions . It was only after the death of Duke George the Bearded in 1539 that the Reformation prevailed.
Modern times
Witch persecutions took place in Sangerhausen between 1536 and 1710 . 22 people, 17 women and five men, got into witch trials . At least three women were cremated, one woman and three men beheaded, and two women died under torture. Jutte Stulzingk was burned as the first victim in 1536. Similar trials took place in the district of Grillenberg between 1607 and 1614: a woman accused of being a witch was burned, another expelled from the country.
The importance of mining gradually declined by the 19th century. In 1815 Sangerhausen became Prussian and the administrative seat of the district of Sangerhausen in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony . The connection to the railway network took place on July 10, 1866 through the Halle – Hann railway line. Münden . In 1880 the railway line to Erfurt was added. The industrialization led to the establishment of factories that filing, bicycles, malt, pianos , machinery , furniture , leather, cheese and sugar manufactured. In 1903 the Rosarium was founded in the east of the city.
→ Main article: Air raids on Sangerhausen
During the Second World War , Sangerhausen suffered several US air raids , the main target of which was the station. On February 22, 1945 an attack by 11 heavy bombers of the type B-24 "Liberator" with 23.5 tons of high explosive bombs took place on the station, gas works and town. From 7th to 11th April 1945 the station area was the target of deep attacks by fighter-bombers every day . The main station building was destroyed on April 7, 1945 when a loaded ammunition train was detonated. A total of 87 people lost their lives in the air raids on Sangerhausen.
On April 12, 1945 the city was occupied by the US Army and on July 3 by the Red Army . This made it part of the Soviet occupation zone and, from 1949, of the GDR.
Already during the Second World War, explorations were made to resume mining. In 1951, with the VEB Thomas-Münzer-Schacht , the mining of copper ore began again , but this had to be stopped after the reunification , as the production costs exceeded the world market price by more than ten times. Witnesses of the former mining are the museum shaft Wettelrode and the huge waste dump (called Schachhalde Hohe Linde) in the north of the city.
During the GDR era, the Ministry for State Security had a district office in Mogkstrasse.
During the Peaceful Revolution in 1989/90 a round table was formed and demonstrations with up to 25,000 participants took place.
