history

Seehausen was probably founded by German settlers around 1150. Unlike the Slavic hamlets along the Parthe River , Seehausen was founded on a cleared area. The first church was built in the 13th century. It was built as a Romanesque choir tower church. In 1359 the village was first mentioned as Sehusen . In a document, the farmers in the village are instructed by the City Council of Leipzig to create paths in their village. In 1438 Conrad Bruser was enfeoffed with the Seehausen church by the elector Friedrich II of Saxony . Around the 15th century, the Seehausener renewed their church. Instead of small Romanesque windows, tall Gothic ones were used. The church received a new altar.

In 1539 the Reformation was introduced in the Albertine Duchy of Saxony . Seehausen also becomes Protestant . A document proves that in 1551 there were 22 “possessed men”, ie farmers with land, and 9 “residents” living in Seehausen. In 1560 the entire parish with all buildings, fields and gardens is sold to the farmer Georg Dyme for 150 guilders. Although the citizens complained about the lack of a school as early as 1580, a first teacher can only be documented in writing for the year 1620. In 1631, during the Thirty Years' War , Seehausen was directly affected in the Battle of Breitenfeld . Another renovation of the church took place in 1663 for 174 thalers. But already after 1700 another renovation took place mainly in the inner part of the church. The coat of arms of the then judge is incorporated into the altar. This was probably the donor of the altar. In 1764, 29 "possessed men" and 9 "cottagers" (residents without real estate) lived in Seehausen. In 1788 a resident of Seehausen donated a new organ to the church. 1791 is a black year for Seehausen. Several goods burned down this year. Until 1856 Seehausen belonged to the electoral or royal Saxon district office of Leipzig . In 1856 the place came to the Leipzig II court office , in 1875 to the Leipzig administrative authority , in 1952 to the Leipzig-Land district in the Leipzig district and in 1994 to the Leipziger Land district .

In 1992, Göbschelwitz and Hohenheida were incorporated with Gottscheina. Seehausen came to the city of Leipzig in 1997 with the incorporated towns. For the history of Göbschelwitz, Hohenheida and Gottscheina see the corresponding local articles.
