Schladitz (Rackwitz)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schladitz is a modern desert that was located south of Delitzsch and, together with its district of Kömmlitz , fell victim to lignite mining by the Breitenfeld open-cast mine between 1986 and 1990 . Today the corridor is east of the Schladitzer See and belongs to the municipality of Rackwitz in the district of North Saxony (Free State of Saxony ). The Rackwitz district of Neu-Schladitz was built east of the old location .

Geographical location

Schladitz was in the Leipzig lowland bay between Delitzsch in the north and Leipzig in the south. The corridors of the former village of Schladitz and its western part of Kömmlitz lie between the Schladitzer See (former residual hole of the Breitenfeld opencast mine) in the west and Rackwitz in the east. [The Neu-Schladitz, which was created later, has nothing to do with the place; Alt-Schladitz still live in the street in Rackwitz called the "settlement".]

The desert areas Gärtitz, Ostrau and Buschenau with the 800 year old Buschenauer church belonged to Schladitz .

history

The place Schladitz on the road from Delitzsch to Leipzig has been known since 1394/95 under the name "Slauticz" (Slavic "Slava" meaning "fame"). Like the neighboring town of Kömmlitz, Schladitz belonged to the electoral office of Delitzsch until 1815 . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , both places became part of Prussia and in 1816 were assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony , to which they belonged until 1952. At the end of the 19th century, Schladitz had 200 inhabitants.

On April 1, 1936, the neighboring town of Kömmlitz to the west was incorporated. In the course of the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Schladitz with its district Kömmlitz was assigned to the newly cut district Delitzsch in the district of Leipzig .

With the opening of the Breitenfeld opencast mine in 1981/82 , the future of Schladitz and Kömmlitz became uncertain. In the mid-1990s, the opencast mine should reach the area of ​​both places. For this reason, the 600 residents of Schladitz and Kömmlitz were resettled from 1986/87 to the newly founded settlement "Neu-Schladitz" near Rackwitz further east. While the 800-year-old church in the Schladitzer Flur in the desert of Buschnau was dredged over, the devastated areas of Schladitz and Kömmlitz were spared this fate due to German reunification in 1989/90 and the resulting sudden reduction in lignite demand. Due to the early shutdown of the Breitenfeld opencast mine in 1991, the planned excavation was no longer carried out.

Schladitz today

The corridor of Schladitz and Kömmlitz belonged to the municipality of Rackwitz after the devastation of the places from 1989. In the Neu-Schladitz settlement that belongs to Rackwitz, a residential park was built that has nothing to do with the old town.

In 1998, the flooding of the open pit hole in Breitenfeld began, creating the Schladitz Lake named after Schladitz, which has been used as a swimming lake since 2003. The devastated settlement areas of Schladitz and Kömmlitz to the southeast of the lake have been recultivated. A water sports center was built in the “Schladitzer Bay”.
