geography
In the east, the Störmthaler Flur is separated from Großpösna, three kilometers away, by the forest area Oberholz , immediately to the northwest are Güldengossa and two kilometers to the north, Liebertwolkwitz . The federal motorway 38 runs between this Leipzig district and Störmthal . There is an industrial park on the northern edge of the village. The best-known company based there is the Blüthner piano factory .
Störmthal is a street village and is largely characterized by large Saxon four-sided courtyards, most of which are renovated today (2007). The exterior of the castle, which belongs to the former manor, has been largely renovated. Part of the associated park, together with the former Rödgen district, fell victim to the Espenhain open-cast mine.
history
The area south of Leipzig was more densely populated in the course of the German settlement in the east from the middle of the 11th century. Störmthal is one of the German foundations of the time. The first written mention was made in 1306 in an interest register of the Pegau monastery , which Störmthal was then subject to. Since 1350 the place was owned by various noble families. Störmthal experienced a positive development from 1675 under the rule of Statz Friedrich von Fullen , who as the electoral Saxon war council held an influential position at the Dresden court. The nobleman ensured that the place became an independent parish in 1690. A year later he opened the first school in the village. In 1693 von Fullen began building the castle, which he had surrounded by a spacious park. This also included an animal enclosure and seven fish ponds.
In 1722 the old dilapidated church was partially demolished and rebuilt in the baroque style. The interior with the patronage box and the pulpit altar was also given a uniform baroque design. On the south side of the chancel there is an oil portrait of Statz Friedrich von Fullen. Only a crucifix of the older furnishings has survived, which is dated to the beginning of the 16th century. In 1723 the organ built by Zacharias Hildebrandt was inaugurated by Johann Sebastian Bach with the cantata Höchstwünschtes Freudenfest ( BWV 194) created for the occasion . It is one of the few instruments that Bach played on, largely preserved in their original condition. Bach himself wrote a report on this organ and praised it beyond measure. That is why the Störmthal Church is an important place for stream maintenance.
During the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig (1813), Störmthal was in the combat zone and suffered great damage from artillery fire, fires and looting. After the abolition of manorial rule, the Störmthaler elected their first community council in 1839. The place was until 1856 in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office Leipzig . From 1856 the place belonged to the Rötha court office and from 1875 to the Leipzig district administration .
In 1903 a gymnastics club and in 1930 the local volunteer fire department were founded. On April 21, 1945 Störmthal was captured by US troops. In the course of the land reform , local farm workers and refugees and displaced persons who had moved in received the land of the manor. On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Rödgen was incorporated. In 1953 the first LPG was founded; until 1960 the complete collectivization of agriculture took place. A children's home was housed in the Störmthal Castle from 1951 to 1978, then an apprentice home until 1991. Störmthal Castle has been privately owned by Manfred Kolbe since 2008 and is now undergoing careful renovation.
In the early 1980s, the GDR Ministry of Energy planned the excavation of Störmthal for the expansion of the Espenhain opencast mine . Therefore, a building ban was issued and the place fell into disrepair. In the course of the political change of 1989, the devastation of Störmthal was waived and the place revived. Many farms and the church have since been restored.
In 1950 Rödgen was incorporated into Störmthal. The district was resettled in 1984 and then devastated. Güldengossa has been part of Störmthal since 1973. In 1980 the corridor of the devastated Magdeborn was incorporated into Störmthal. On January 1, 1996, Störmthal was incorporated into Großpösna.
