Seegrehna is a village and part of the Lutherstadt Wittenberg in Saxony-Anhalt .
geography
It is located about six kilometers southwest of the city center south of the Elbe and is part of the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO .
history
As early as 1004, a settlement with the Slavic name Grodisti (cf. Lower Sorbian groźišćo , "castle wall") in the area of today's Seegrehna is mentioned.
The originally Romanesque stone church was probably built in the early 13th century. After being destroyed in the Thirty Years' War , it was given new furnishings, including a ceiling painting by the Wittenberg painter Michael Adolf Siebenhaar . In 1522 the Wittenberg reformer Andreas Bodenstein, known as Karlstadt, married Anna von Mochau, the daughter of the Seegrehna landowner. After his exile from Wittenberg in 1525, he lived with his family on the manor.
In 1526, Andreas Bodenstein's second son, Andreas, was baptized here over the late Gothic font. Here acted Philipp Melanchthon , Justus Jonas and Catherine Luther as sponsors. The event was of great importance for the history of the Reformation, because it brought Bodenstein, who had previously rejected the sacrament of baptism , closer to Lutheran positions on an important point.
In the 12th century the Burgward Bleesern was built near Seegrehna , from which a forework of the ducal castle in Wittenberg developed in the 14th century . From the 15th to the 18th century, Bleesern was home to the court stud of the Saxon electors . In the 17th century, the existing stud building was built there according to plans by the Saxon master builder Wolf Caspar von Klengel , which is today the oldest preserved structure of its kind in Germany.
On February 26, 1993 the sports club Seegrehna 1993 eV was founded. In 2002, parts of Seegrehna were affected by the flooding after a dike breach on the Elbe .
