history

Manor of the manor

The first documented form of place name dates from 1251 as a blessing in a document on the occasion of an interest payment to the nuns of the Nimbschen monastery . In 1429/30 the place suffered under the invasion of the Hussites. In 1445/47 there was already a knight's seat on site, which was elevated to a knightly estate in 1551 . The mansion was built on the site of an early wooden castle.

During the Thirty Years' War , Croats plundered the village, and three people from Seelingstadt lost their lives in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. August Schumann mentions in 1824 in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony Seelingstädt concerning u. a .:

"[...] a moderate Kirchdorf of Erbamtes Grimma [...] belongs to dasigen altschriftsässigen v. Döring'schen Rittergute , […]. It has about 50 houses against 300 inhabitants, 7  hooves of good fields, and some forest; In 1789 there were 120 cows. Eight shocks belong to the Pausitz manor near Wurzen , hence the Wurzner office. […] There is still a school, a water mill and a windmill here. [...] The manor carries a knight's horse , has a good sheep farm, some forest, and still owns Beyersdorf and Staudritz, [...] "

The last extensive construction work on the manor took place around 1900. On December 10, 1898, with the opening of the station "Seelingstädt (b Brandis)", Seelingstädt received a railway connection on the Beucha – Trebsen line , and passenger traffic was opened on October 1 of the following year.

In 1912, Seelingstädt was connected to the public electricity network. In the First World War , 18 residents were killed as soldiers in theaters of war. Until 1937, coal was transported from the “God's Blessing” shaft for loading to the station by means of horse-drawn vehicles. 40 men did not return from WWII .

In 1945 the last owners of the manor were expropriated and the property came to the Episcopal See of the Diocese of Meissen four years later . It was used as a nursing home and an annex was added. Renovation work took place in 2004. The buildings will continue to be used by Caritas as a nursing home for the elderly and as an education center.

A kindergarten was built between 1959 and 1963 and was modernized between 1970 and 1975. In addition, a day nursery and day-care center were set up.

On January 1, 1994, Seelingstädt was incorporated into Trebsen.

On September 28, 1997, passenger traffic on the Beucha – Trebsen rail section was discontinued. In 2001 the 750th anniversary of the first documentary mention of the place was celebrated with a festival week.

In 2006, due to the lowered water level of the wall pond, the tower foundations of a water castle mentioned in 1251 became visible. The existence of such a system had been known for a long time and could now be localized for the first time. In the 17th century the castle was demolished and the wall pond created for fish farming.

church

Village church

The year the local church was built is unknown. In 1717 the manor owner Johann Geoerge Joachim von Döring had the nave expanded. He left the chapel on the west side of the nave to the community and had his private box built on the south side of the nave. His son Joachim Friedrich von Döring had the work completed in 1783, and his initials can still be seen today on the tower's weather vane. The bells were consecrated in 1875, but they were already removed during World War I. In 1922 a new bell was consecrated, one of which was a gift from Mary Bretschneider-Bodemer in memory of her fallen son. The interior of the church was painted in 1928. The private box of the manor owners was converted into a classroom in 1954.
In 1995 the roof of the nave was renewed, and in 1999 the church tower was completely repaired.
