history

A donation by Emperor Otto I from 956 to the Moritzkloster in Magdeburg , which could also refer to Schlieben, is often regarded as the oldest piece of information on the local history of Schlieben. Schlieben is mentioned for the first time in a document dated June 5, 973, in which Emperor Otto II confirmed the donation of 956 for honeysuckle "in provinciis ... Zliuuini, Lusice". In 1181 a Gumbertus de Zliv certified. Cistercian monks built the Martinskapelle around 1200 . Priest Waldvogel was the first clergyman to work in Schlieben in 1228. The church of St. Martin was probably built in the 13th or 14th century. The construction of the castle and the previous building of the church in Lebusa also date back to the 14th century .

In 1425 Schlieben became a castle village and owned a sheep farm. Wine cellars were first mentioned in 1510. Martin Luther visited Schlieben in 1529/30. In 1606 Schlieben received city rights. In 1631 the city was destroyed by the troops of Emperor Ferdinand II . The plague wiped out entire families in 1634. In 1637 Schlieben was destroyed by Swedish troops in the Thirty Years War . In 1672 the parish was to Schlieben: Berga, Naundorf, Werchluga (today Wehrhain), Frankenhain and the two branches Oelsig and Krassig.

The district court building in Schlieben was built in 1778.

During the Second World War , a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp was set up in Berga , in which 2,000 prisoners were used for forced labor in the ammunition factory " Hasag Hugo Schneider AG " (HASAG) (see subcamp Schlieben ).
