history

In 1291 Sieglitz was first mentioned in a document from the Heusdorf monastery .

Until its dissolution in the 19th century, Sieglitz was under the administration of the Wettin Office of Camburg . Due to several divisions in the course of its existence, this belonged to different Ernestine duchies . In 1826 Sieglitz came with the Camburg office from the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg to the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen and became part of the Camburg exclave. From 1922 to 1939 Sieglitz belonged to the Thuringian district department Camburg . Until 1952 Sieglitz belonged to Thuringia . During the territorial reform of 1952 in the GDR , the place came from the disbanded Jena district to the Naumburg district in the Halle district .

On July 1, 1961, the previously independent community of Sieglitz was incorporated into Molau. With the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Abtlöbnitz , Casekirchen , Leislau and Molau to form the new municipality of Molauer Land , Sieglitz has been one of eleven districts of this municipality since January 1, 2010.
