history

The history of settlement in Sellerhausen goes back to the 9th century , when it was laid out in the fertile floodplains of the Rietzschke stream as part of the Old Sorbian conquest . After 1136, German farmers settled down and transformed the former Rundlingsdorf into a double dead end village . The first documentary mention as "Selderoysen" (from seld (n) er mhd. Residents, Hintersasse) comes from the year 1335. The development of the name of the settlement went through "Selderhase" / "Seldershase" (1378), "Selderhasen" (1434), "Selderhusen" (1438) and "Seldenhaußen" (1482), until the current name was adopted around 1700.

In 1525 Sellerhausen, which at that time had 50 farms, was sold to the City Council of Leipzig together with Reudnitz and Tutschendorf as well as Stünz , Anger and Crottendorf. During the Thirty Years War the village was burned down on July 18, 1636.

The population also suffered during the Battle of Nations in October 1813. Sellerhausen was one of the most contested points on the northern battlefield. It was first occupied by French troops under Marshal Ney and then stormed by the Bülow Corps . The Apelstein No. 41 in the Volksgarten on Torgauer Straße and the Apelstein No. 48, which was only built in 1994 in the Sellerhausen cemetery, remind us of the events of 1813 . The damage caused by the battle was quickly repaired, so that as early as 1814 the place had 180 inhabitants again, who lived in 18 houses. In 1830 a cemetery was consecrated on today's church square, which was used until 1886.

As a result of the introduction of the Saxon rural community order , a community office was also created in Sellerhausen in 1839. The place was until 1856 in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office Leipzig . From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Leipzig I and from 1875 to the administrative authority of Leipzig . In 1865 the Reudnitz-Sellerhausen gas lighting company set up a small gas plant on Wurzner Strasse, which was acquired by the Thuringian Gas Company in 1872 and subsequently expanded. From 1875 onwards, various industrial companies settled on Sellerhauser's corridor (including Maschinenfabrik Ernst Kirchner & Co. (1878), chemical factory Dr. G. Langbein & Co. (later Langbein-Pfanhauser Werke ), 1881), mechanical workshop G. Köllmann GmbH (later Köllmann-Werke AG, 1904). In 1885 a new cemetery was laid out on Riesaer Strasse, which is still in use today.

On January 1, 1890, the community with 7200 inhabitants was incorporated into Leipzig. In the following years, four-storey residential buildings in closed construction began to be built on Wurzner Strasse and its cross streets. This resulted in increasing urbanization and at the same time the suppression of agriculture (growing vegetables to supply Leipzig). In 1892 Sellerhausen was removed from the parish of Schönefeld and was henceforth an independent parish. The Emmaus Church was built from 1898 to 1900 according to plans by the Leipzig architect Paul Lange .

At the beginning of the 20th century, the metalworking company Hugo and Alfred Schneider AG (HASAG) relocated their company from Paunsdorf as a new modern plant in a triangle between Torgauer and Permoserstraße. This is how the largest arms company in Saxony emerged specializing in armaments. To the south of Permoserstrasse, a satellite concentration camp was set up during the Second World War . After the war, a research area of ​​the German Academy of Sciences was established on the HASAG site after the demolition of the factories , which is now called the Leipzig Science Park.

After the incorporation, Sellerhausen's development was not only administratively linked to the development of the city of Leipzig. In the 1920s, the first residential buildings north of the Leipzig – Dresden railway line were built on Püchauer and Macherner Strasse . They were supplemented by the settlement houses on Rosmarin- und Tulpenweg up to Permoserstraße. Residential development on the streets between Ostheimstrasse and Weinbrennerstrasse, which are mainly named after architects, took place in the 1930s.

From 1960 on, the still agriculturally used areas between the railway lines and Permoserstraße were built on with houses. They were developed with Leonhard-Frank-Straße and a few side streets. The slab factory set up for this continued to deliver concrete elements for other new development areas until the 1970s. Then it was dismantled and the area was greened for the time being. Around 1985 it was also built on with apartments, but differently with buildings of the type WBS 70 . The agricultural character of the old village center continued to decline, but was still clearly recognizable until the years after 1990. Rather, however, the industry in Sellerhausen - but also the neighboring districts of Schönefeld and Paunsdorf - increasingly shaped the character of this district. However, Sellerhausen differed from purely inner-city residential areas due to its location on the edge of Leipzig and the creation of allotment gardens in the fertile floodplains of the Rietzschke .

In the years after the fall of the Wall , the image of the district changed very much. The population and the importance of the district, which neither belongs to the surrounding area nor to the center of the city, fell sharply. The old core on Dorfstraße lost the previously clearly recognizable appearance of a village due to new buildings, and this street was also renamed “Zum Kleingartenpark”. Similar to the development of urban districts between the center and the surrounding area of ​​many other major German and European cities, the further development of Sellerhausen will take place in a currently undetectable environment of opportunities and risks.

traffic

The Leipzig-Sellerhausen stop is on the Leipzig-Dresden railway line . It was put into operation in 1974 with the introduction of the S-Bahn between Leipzig and Wurzen.

The "second connecting line" Leipzig Hbf – Connewitz , opened in 1878, runs over a viaduct from north to south through Sellerhausen. Sellerhausen received a stop only a year after the S-Bahn was introduced in Leipzig in 1969. The last-mentioned railway line and thus also the stop on this line were shut down in November 2012 and dismantled in 2014. The stop on the Leipzig – Wurzen – Dresden route, however, will continue to be served, but only by the trains of the regional train line RB 110 in the direction of Grimma every hour. This is compressed to half-hourly intervals Monday to Friday in the morning and in the afternoon. Although trains of the S-Bahn in Central Germany touch Sellerhausen on the Engelsdorf – Stötteritz line , no stop has been set up here.

Sellerhausen is connected by tram lines 7 and 8 both with the center in the west and with Sommerfeld and Paunsdorf in the east. In addition, the bus line 90 runs on Permoserstraße, supplemented by the district bus line 77, but this only runs every hour.
