history

The corridor of Schkortleben was already settled in prehistoric times. Archaeological finds from the Neolithic, the Bronze Age and the Migration Period are evidence of this. According to older legends, King Heinrich I is said to have camped near Schkortleben in 933 before the Battle of Hungary. The community was first mentioned as Zeurtelebe around the year 1300 in the interest register fragment of the Weißenfelser Klarissenkloster . Later names such as Schorteleiben (1367), Scortleuben (1458) or Sckortleuwenn (1532) appear. From 1750 the name Schkortleben became established and was interpreted as "short, cut off or cut up".

A church was probably built in the second half of the 13th century. In 2000 it was demolished due to its dilapidation. In the village there was a manor owned by families v. Biesenrodt (17th century), v. Breitenbauch (18th century) and Scharf v. Gauerstaedt (1830–1913) belonged.

During the Thirty Years' War almost three quarters of the population died of hunger, the plague and the tribulations of the soldiers passing through. In the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and during the Wars of Liberation, another difficult time began for the population. Troops passing through looted the place and took everything edible. In the 1st World War 1914–1918 Schkortleben had 16 dead and 4 missing, in the 2nd World War 1939–1945 18 dead.

In 1843 Schkortleben had 292 inhabitants. On September 1, 2010 Schkortleben was incorporated into Weissenfels.

In the neighborhood is the medieval desert Sahla .
