From 1839 until its incorporation in 1910, Stötteritz was an independent municipality south-east of Leipzig . Today Stötteritz is a district in the south-east of Leipzig (official district number: 31). The name is from altsorb. stodor "shallow field on rocky ground", also derived from "rocks, ridges, skins" and "place on stony ground". Stötteritz is also popularly known as "Strietz". Stötteritz is the highest district of Leipzig.

It is bordered by the Oststraße and the southern borders of the Ostfriedhof and the Sternsiedlung Ost in the north, by the district boundaries between the district Stötteritz and the districts Mölkau , Zweinaundorf and Holzhausen in the east, by the district boundary between the district Stötteritz and the district Probstheida, Kolmstraße , the southern boundaries of the properties on Großsteinberger Straße, Augustinerstraße, Naunhofer Straße, the northern boundaries of the Marienhöhe allotment gardens and the Friendship Park in the south and of Prager Straße and the Leipzig Hbf – Leipzig-Connewitz railway in the west.

history

Initial settlement

Around 1000 BC BC ( Late Bronze Age ) there was probably a settlement in the area of ​​today's Oststrasse.

middle Ages

During the Old Sorbian conquest, after 700 Stötteritz and, to the north of it (presumably in the area of ​​today's Papiermühlstrasse and Oststrasse), Melschen with probably 2 to 5 farmers' positions each as rounds . There is no longer any tradition of these, but there are urns found on the former Mühlweg. The oldest village complex in Stötteritz is on a slightly elevated site to take up the area of ​​the church. The discovery of a porphyry slinging ball in a layer of mud on the area of ​​today's wood could indicate a moated castle.

In the first half of the 10th century, King Henry I conquered the region. Since Konrad von Wettin was enfeoffed with the Osterland region after 1136, the margrave and his son Otto began the intensive development of the country. Although there had been no significant settlement of German farmers in Stötteritz, with the German colonization, the village was presumably subject to German knights. A German rampart (moated castle, mansion) was built on the northern edge of the old town center in the eastern part of the estate. The once rectangular castle island is built over with the northeast corner of the Gutsgeviert. Part of the northern and eastern extension of the rectangular trench have been preserved as water-bearing.

The neighboring Baalsdorf, which was probably founded by Flemish settlers, was first mentioned in 1213. Presumably the old Sorbian Stötteritz was Christianized from Baalsdorf and the church patronage Stötteritz came together with Baalsdorf to the newly founded Thomaskloster in Leipzig. "Sthodericz" was mentioned in 1325 when the Thomaskloster acquired hooves in Stötteritz and Baalsdorf. "Mylschene" was first mentioned in 1335, and in 1350 Stötteritz was called "Ztedericz" or "Stadericz". Margrave Friedrich IV., The controversial, enfeoffed Johans Albern, citizen of Leipzig, with 4 hooves to "Sthodericz" in 1397 (possibly the area of ​​the manor is meant). After the death of Balthar Schultz in 1487 a pond "bey Stöderitz" passed to his sons. In 1490 Melschen was still called a village.

16th Century

From the beginning of the 16th century, one, later two manors , the upper and the lower, developed in Stötteritz . There were no farms because the old Sorbian farmers were probably "laid" , which is indicated by the estate settlement with rows of cottagers and the block-shaped estates and parcels. The goods often changed their mostly bourgeois owners. Since the development of Stötteritz was determined by the goods, two relatively independent districts emerged. In 1500 Erich Fachs estimated his estate, "the lower Vorwergk zu Stodericz", at 4,000 guilders . When the "Vorwergs Stöderiz" was sold, there were 1515 disputes. On March 13, 1517 Helena Krahin sold the (upper, probably out first forming) Good to Ludovico Long Schneider, "head of the sacred altar of St. Annae in the Thomas Church ." The "Melscher Marck" (next to Stötteritz) was named. Melschen was so desolate, his hallway went into that of Stötteritz. In 1540 the estate was returned to civil ownership. Sigmund Breutigam and his wife were enfeoffed with the "Stöderitz" estate. The church of the village was a branch church of that of Baalsdorf. The council of Leipzig bought the monastery estates Baalsdorf and Melschen in 1543 (from the latter there is only the mark), i. H. Stötteritz (?).

During the Schmalkaldic War , Elector Johann Friedrich I of Saxony moved into his headquarters near Stötteritz in Hans Schwartzens' house in 1547. When he left, he spared the place that belonged to the Leipzig district office . In 1551 Stötteritz belonged to the manor Stötteritz. The Melscher Mark was called "Stoderitzermargk" at that time. In 1559 Ernst Fachs sold 2 1/4 Hufen land to Mölkau owners, 20 acres of which were Melscher property, part of which came to Crottendorf and Reudnitz. 1574 demanded the employment of a sexton , who should also be teacher, cantor and organist. The servants lived on the estates until 1580, since then their own houses have been built for them. In 1581 the mill on today's Kärrnerweg was privileged. The Leipzig councilor Peter Heintze was the owner of what was apparently the only manor in 1587. At the end of the 16th century, a cabbage gardener can be identified for the first time.

17th century

In 1612, 11 gardeners (house owners with land and agricultural activities in the secondary business) lived with their families in Stötteritz. The village had about 100 inhabitants, including parish and manor families and bonded serfs . Dr. Friedrich Scipio sold the estate to the merchant Jacob von Ryssel in 1622. In 1629 the Vorwerk was called Stötteritz. During the Thirty Years War , imperial troops fired at Thonberg and Stötteritz from Leipzig in 1633. Four years later, Stötteritz was almost extinct due to looting, fire and plague . The Swedish general Torstenson moved to the siege of Leipzig in 1642 and took the Stötteritz estate as his quarters. In 1650 103 people died of the plague. A collar was attached to the church in 1666 to expose evildoers.

18th century

The name Melscher Mark disappeared in the 18th century because it was built over from Stötteritz. Around 1700 a “long row” (alley) of houses for the lower estate was built from today's Ferdinand-Jost-Strasse to today's Papiermühlstrasse. In the Great Northern War in 1706 Swedish horsemen invaded Stötteritz. Engelbert von der Burg, landlord of the lower part, assessor at the Leipzig consistory , had 7 burned down houses rebuilt. In 1714 a fire hit the upper estate. In 1734, the master grocer Quandt built a tobacco mill on the way to Connewitz (today Napoleonstein) . Councilor Adam Friedrich von Glafey was 1746-1753 owner of the upper part of the estate and court lord of both parts of the place. After that, the canon, had Appellationsrat and Professor Heinrich Gottfried Bauer to 1811 the estate upper part. In 1764 the village belonged to the Leipzig office, and the manor belonged to the Stötteritz manor. There were 91 gardeners and 46 cottagers, with the rest of the population around 700 inhabitants as well as 2 1/2 hooves per 12 acres and 18 (manor) hooves yes 20 acres.

For many residents, tobacco cultivation etc. a. am Schwarzacker as the main occupation from 1765 to 1860. In the prime of tobacco growing, the yield (jokingly called "Stänkeriko") was given as 10,000 quintals. In autumn the houses in Stötteritz were hung with drying yellow tobacco leaves. Other Stötteritzer worked as day laborers in Leipzig . The influence of the goods decreased during this time. 1780–1790 the baroque manor house was built on the lower part of the estate . Friedrich Schiller stayed in Stötteritz in 1785. In 1790 Christian Felix Weisse , district tax collector and, as a poet of "comic operas", ruler of the stage in Leipzig, acquired the lower estate. Weisse redesigned it completely, he arranged for the creation of a park based on the English model (later “The Grove”). The face of the estate changed from a farm yard to a friendly summer house with garden and park. A lively cultural life developed on the estate, which was particularly shaped by the literary ambitions of Weißes, who wrote many children's books himself. The estate was a meeting place for numerous poets ( Christian Garve , Christoph Martin Wieland , Moritz August von Thümmel , Jean Paul ).

19th century

From 1801–1809 there was a paper mill built by Johann Christoph Ludwig in the Dutch style until a fire near the Ferdinand-Jost- / Eichstädtstraße intersection . a. made brown baking paper. The water dammed in the mill pond was used to soak the rags.

Stötteritz on a plan from 1808

The “New Plan of the City of Leipzig and the Surrounding Area” indicated Stötteritz as a multi-street village (today's Oberdorf-, Zuckelhäuser-, Sommerfelder Straße, Lange Reihe) with a church, estates, ponds, 2 windmills and a paper mill. Oberdorfstrasse and Sommerfelder Strasse had an annex to the west.

View of Stötteritz after the Battle of Nations, 1815

During the Battle of Nations , Napoléon Bonaparte , coming from his Reudnitzer quarters, is said to have arrived in the lower part of the manor on October 17, 1813 and rode from there to the Quandt's tobacco mill. In the evening, Napoleon's headquarters were relocated to Stötteritz. The next day the Stötteritzer corridor was in the immediate combat area. Marshal MacDonald had his command post at the oldest of the five Stötteritz windmills (at today's nursery on Kärrnerweg) . He and his troops were pushed back into the village by the Russian cavalry . The Napoleonic troops looted the estate. When it got dark, the fighting was stopped, and at night the exhausted Napoleonic soldiers retreated to Leipzig. On October 19, 1813, hussar patrols of the main army of the allies rode to Stötteritz and Probstheida to explore the Napoleonic positions. They soon returned with the news that both villages had been abandoned by the enemy. According to other sources, the French troops were driven out of the village. All food supplies and food had been plundered, and most of the population had been displaced. 15 of 145 houses and the Quandt tobacco mill were burned down and 40 damaged. The Marienkirche was set up as a hospital , the organ pipes were stolen. There were about a thousand fallen in the village. They were then buried by the returning villagers on the side of the east exit of the village by the oak grove along today's Pommernstrasse.

In 1817 Heinrich Bauer's heirs sold the upper part of the estate to Friedrich Herrmann. A year later the estate was sold to Ferdinand Semmel, city governor of Gera. In 1819 the upper part of the estate was sold to economic inspector Friedrich Richter, before the Jenenser Professor Dr. Eichstädt bought. In 1824 it was said that Stötteritz was “a village which is divided into the upper and lower communities,… the largest in the… [Leipzig] district, in that it contains 1,200 residents… [It] belongs to almost equal halves of the two local… manors …, Is located 1/2 to 3/4 hour east of Leipzig on an area that gradually rises from almost all sides. The church is almost in the middle of the village. Mention should be made ... besides several pretty country houses for Leipzig families (some with pleasant gardens) the inn and several taverns, such as the windmill at the northern end. One of the taverns at the southern end of the village used to be a paper mill ... The two manors are only of medium strength and have pleasant gardens and small, pleasant mansions. Stötteritz is ... the most important place in the kingdom for tobacco growing . "

After 1830 the Tragkorbgemeinde, a tobacco workers' settlement, was built. The Saxon law on detachments and common divisions in 1832 created the prerequisites for overcoming the feudal conditions in the countryside. In the same year, the lower estate passed from Prof. Christian Ernst Weisse to his son, Prof. Christian Hermann Weisse. In 1834 Stötteritz had around 2,200 inhabitants and 192 houses, which were located along the later main (today wooden houses), the Leipziger (Stötteritzer, Papiermühl-), the Kirch- (Oberdorf-), the Mittelstraße (Lange Reihe) and the Kreuzstraße (Zuckelhäuser - / Kolmstrasse). With the introduction of the Saxon rural community order on May 1, 1839, Stötteritz became an independent rural community and was given the right to self-government. Since there was no agreement, a new school was built in Stötteritz's upper and lower part in 1844. Stötteritz developed into one of the most populous suburbs of Leipzig, in 1850 around 2,500 people lived there. In 1856 the Stötteritz infant care facility was opened. This year the place had 204 inhabited buildings with 716 family households and 2950 inhabitants. In 1856 the patrimonial courts were repealed. From a administrative point of view, Stötteritz belonged to the Leipzig I court office. A map before 1860 shows the situation as it did around 1801. Oberdorf and Unterdorf grew together structurally. The extensions on Obedorfstrasse and Sommerfelder Strasse in the west have been extended. A mill is shown.

In 1864 or 1868 Stötteritz had 3,976 inhabitants. The property in the lower part became the property of the Leipzig Council, and tenants managed it. The Probstheida waterworks was built between 1865 and 1907 on the land border with Stötteritz . The Ulrich Gebr. Brewery was founded in Stötteritz in 1866 . During the German War in 1866 Prussian soldiers dragged cholera to Stötteritz. 663 of the almost 4,000 inhabitants fell ill, 240 of them died. Mothes leased the manor in the lower part of the city from 1869 to 1888. The harvest festival was still celebrated in Stötteritz in 1870. The move led from the lower part of the manor through Lange Reihe, Schmiedegasse (Sommerfelder) and Oberdorfer Straße back to the manor. With the rapid urbanization of Stötteritz and the settlement of smaller and larger businesses, the importance of agricultural production and goods for the place decreased again. The newly built Oberhof (Oberdorfstrasse 22) served as the village inn “Deutsches Haus” (also “Schulze's cake garden”) from 1870 to 1910. In 1872 the Stötteritz cemetery was rebuilt. The place had 4,699 inhabitants in 1875 and was part of the Leipzig District Administration .

1875-1880 the lower part of the manor was expanded. A part of the western part of the adjacent pond was started to be drained, as new horse stables were planned. The remains of the old moated castle were discovered during the preparation of the building site. Rudolf Hermann opened an iron foundry around 1880. Until 1883, there was a windmill where today's Prager Straße crosses the railway. The village inn "Deutsches Haus" received an annex in 1884. In 1885 Stötteritz had 4985 inhabitants in 1131 households. A large part of the fields of the upper good was sold to the Leipzig real estate company after 1885. Parts of the lower property were also sold. Stötteritz has had a parish church with its own pastor since 1887 . As a result, the rectory was built on the old cemetery. The upper part of the estate (last owner: Baumeyer) was sold to the Leipziger Immobiliengesellschaft (director: Justizrat Dr. Ludolf Colditz ) and to the Allgemeine Deutsche Credit-Anstalt, Leipzig. The council made since the late 1880s for an improvement of the road system, the Ortsbeschleusung conducted, supplied the city of Leipzig forth with gas and water, set up a street lighting and tried to set up a post office, a Güterlade- people and stop the state railway as well as the establishment of a pharmacy in town. The Leipziger Immobilien-Gesellschaft connected parts of its area with newly built roads to the political district of Stötteritz. New residential buildings were built on the building land obtained in this way, which was very regularly laid out in a straight line between the school and the connecting railway or Leipzig (today Papiermühlstrasse) and main (today Holzhäuser Strasse). The Marienhöhe district emerged, and building activity began in the old district, too, and older buildings had to give way. Today's Weißenstrasse, Rudolf-Herrmannstrasse and Schönbachstrasse were laid out around 1890.

In 1890 the village had 5924 inhabitants and had 13 streets. The public library was founded and the infant care facility was located at Sommerfelder Strasse 29 during this time. The Stötteritz train station was established in 1891. With the construction and expansion of the railway line, Stötteritz became an industrial suburb. As a result, in the part of Stötteritz that lies below today's Holzhäuser Straße, the now still recognizable composition of shops, smaller and larger businesses and residential buildings was created. In 1894 Stötteritz had 6,600 inhabitants, a community savings bank was opened. On May 27, 1894, the workers' association held a singing festival in the brewery garden in Stötteritz, with 10,000 visitors. Today's Ferdinand-Jost-Straße was laid out around 1895 up to the corner of Lange Reihe. In addition, parts of today's water tower, Eichstädt, Arnold, Ludolf-Colditz and Naunhofer Straße were built. Lively construction activity began in the western section of Papiermühlstrasse. In 1895 it was said about Stötteritz that “… has post, telegraph, savings bank; Iron foundry, brewery, brickworks, cigar factory, gardening shops and nearby the Leipzig insane asylum and nursing home. ” The grand piano and piano factory founded by Wilhelm Schimmel in 1885 moved to Stötteritz. In 1897 the old school on today's Rudolf-Herrmann-Straße was demolished. Stötteritz was connected to the electric tram network in 1898. In 1899 the simple elementary school was converted into a middle elementary school.

In 1900 the Stötteritz town hall , Holzhäuser Strasse 65, was inaugurated. The place had 9,067 inhabitants and had 294 hectares of land. Opposite the town hall, Franz Windscheid opened the “Hermann House”, the first neurological trauma clinic in Germany. In 1902 there were 2,420 apartments in the village, 178 of which were vacant. A higher middle school was founded in 1903. A school building with a gym as well as a public and school pool was built on Marienhöhe. Development plans were drawn up for most of the fields on the upper estate, which was owned by the Leipzig real estate company . On October 1, 1903, the glacier stone pyramid was inaugurated on Ludolf-Colditz-Platz (today: Gustav-Schwabe-Platz), on the bottom of the former Simon windmill , cf. below . After the turn of the century, the community bought the extensive area of ​​the Schwarzackers and other developable areas on Leipziger Strasse in order to be able to provide the industry with building land under favorable conditions. In addition, a completely new residential area made up of high-quality residential buildings and villas was built on "Marienhöhe", initially on Naunhofer Straße. To improve the traffic conditions, new roads were built, widened and broken through, for which the community had to buy up many pieces of land, such as the old smithy and the carrying cage community. The railway overpass on Leipziger Strasse was replaced by a bridge after the driveway and footpaths had been widened accordingly. The station building was erected.

The "Local Law for the Development of the Land of the Leipziger Immobiliengesellschaft and the Allgemeine Deutsche Credit-Anstalt" established development zones between the waterworks, Ludolf-Colditz-, Pösnaer, Kolm-, Naunhofer Straße, Weber-Platz and Prager Straße. A chapel was built in the cemetery. The savings and loan bank for Stötteritz and the surrounding area was founded at Arnoldstrasse 19. Around 1905 all streets between today's Sommerfelder, Holzhäuser, Papiermühlstrasse, Lochmannstrasse and Baumeyerstrasse were laid out (exception: Glafeystrasse) and around two thirds of them were built on. In addition, today's Ambrosius-Barth-Platz (with a new school building), Gustav-Schwabe-Platz and Gregory-Platz were created as decorative spaces. The first villas were built in the Ludolf-Colditz- and Naunhofer Straße area. The first houses were built on Schwarzackerstrasse and Melscher Strasse.

The structural densification of the quarters between wooden houses and Papiermühlstraße took place around 1910, at the same time the development of today's Gletschersteinstraße, Kommandant-Prendel-Allee and the Wasserturmstraße began. On January 1, 1910, Stötteritz, the largest rural community and 17th largest town in Saxony , was incorporated into Leipzig without the upper / lower part of the manor.

In 1904 the postcard publisher Dr. Trenkler & Co. moved its headquarters from Reudnitzer Dorotheenstraße 7/9 to Eichstädtstraße 11 in Stötteritz. He was thus in competition with the postcard publisher Trinks & Co., founded around 1909 and also based in Stötteritz, with a similar publishing program.

In 1910, in view of the construction of the Leipzig main station , Stötteritz proposed the relocation of an industrial track from Stötteritz to Probstheida in order to encourage industrial settlements in the eastern part of Leipzig. The proposal was rejected. On July 1, 1912, the independent manor district Vorwerk Meusdorf was merged with the independent manor district of Stötteritz. The Leipziger Allgemeine Kraftomnibus AG opened line 2 ( Schleußig- Stötteritz) in 1913 . In 1914, lines 6 and 7 of the Leipzig electric tram ran to Stötteritz.

Stötteritz on a map from 1913

Government architect Hans Blüthgen described Stötteritz in 1919 as follows: “Large factories have emerged, a train station has been built, and the two to three-storey apartment buildings have grown like mushrooms. The cute little baroque village church now stands on the square surrounded by modern houses. There is only one companion left on Kirchplatze, the venerable mansion (lower part) of the large town estate, which inspires respect despite its simplicity. ” Around 1922, the allotment gardens between today's Kolm- and Holzhäuser Straße were created. Kolmsiedlung and Kisch-Weg settlement were built around 1924. On April 1, 1925, the lower part of the Stötteritz estate was incorporated into the city, which increased its area by 122.7 hectares. The Südostbad on the extended Oststrasse was opened on May 10, 1925. The area of ​​60,000 m² included swimming, air and sunbathing, a large gymnastics and soccer field, a stadium and a clubhouse. With a length of 50 m and a width of 22 m, the swimming pool was the largest in Saxony at the time. The allotment garden on Seifertshainer Strasse (today Pommernstrasse) was inaugurated around 1927. The Palast-Filmtheater was built in 1928 from the village inn “Deutsches Haus”. In the next few years up to 1931 the construction of the Schönbachstrasse south of the Holzhäuser Strasse took place. Lively construction activity in the Gletschersteinstrasse, Thiemstrasse and Kommandant-Prendel-Allee area can be recorded around 1930. Gaps were closed in the upper area of ​​Eichstädtstrasse.

The city council decided in August 1945 to divide the city into 8 administrative districts and 40 districts. The district Stötteritz (9) belonged to the administrative district Southeast (4). From December 1, 1945, bus line H ran between Stötteritz and Holzhausen (was renamed to line 74 in the mid-1990s ). The church was used again from Trinity in 1946. The Palast-Filmtheater came into the possession of the municipal film theaters in 1948. The city rented the buildings of the lower part of the manor from 1950–1991, most recently to VEB equipment and control works Teltow , which used it as a storage facility. The manor house was placed under monument protection, but measures to preserve it were not taken, so that it fell into disrepair like the other buildings on the estate. In June 1950, the city council decided to dissolve the 8 administrative districts, which were replaced by a main administrative office and 33 administrative districts with districts. Stötteritz belonged to administrative district 41. The city council decided on August 16, 1952 a new administrative structure for the city. Leipzig was divided into 14 boroughs with their own councils. District IV included Stötteritz, Südfriedhof , Probstheida and Meusdorf.

In 1969 the public swimming pool in Kommandant-Prendel-Allee was handed over. The Marienkirche was reconstructed in the same year. The Leipzig-Stötteritz station was the S-Bahn stop from July 15, 1969. The Franz-Mehring-Schule and gymnasium were built on Kommandant-Prendel-Allee around 1973. In March 1973 the new building school III (later the 30th Polytechnic Oberschule ) was opened in Gletschersteinstraße . The industrial buildings at the tram terminus opposite the Sonnenwinkel settlement were built around 1975. The moated castle on the northern edge of the old town center in the eastern area of ​​the property was placed under protection as a historical monument on February 25, 1975. The former estate pond was transformed into a fish pond in May of the same year. The sculptor Günter Huniat ran the Stötteritz open-air gallery from August 20, 1980. The industrial buildings at Holzhäuser Strasse 120–126 were built around 1985. Nevertheless, due to the shortage economy, the old buildings in Stötteritz were falling into disrepair. After the peaceful revolution, extensive renovation work took place on the historical building fabric and after a short time the Stötteritz Gründerzeit district shone in its old splendor. Since autumn 1989 u. a. the building ecology working group and the association for the reintegration of psychosocially impaired people to revive and renovate the estate. In 1990 the Association for the Reintegration of Psychosocial Disabled People took over the barn at Oberdorfstrasse 15 in order to develop it into a meeting place. The non-profit workshops wickerwork and bicycle workshop began their activities there.

At the beginning of 1991 the working group Southeast was established, to which employees and members of associations as well as representatives of local authorities and the economy belong. The 1st Alt-Stötteritz Summer Festival on June 22, 1991 also marked the beginning of the meeting place “Die Scheune” in Oberdorfstrasse 15. On July 17, 1991, the city council decided on a long-term lease agreement for the estate and gardening with the Association for the Reintegration of Psychosocial Disabled People A workshop for the urban planning office on the Stötteritz redevelopment area took place from September 5 to 7, 1991. The Stötteritz park nursery of the Association for the Reintegration of Psychosocially Disabled People started its work on March 1, 1992. With the confirmation of the new regional division of the city by the city council on March 18, 1992 Stötteritz belonged as district 31 to the city district southeast. The place had 13,918 inhabitants and a population density of 3,661 inhabitants / km², there were 7,602 apartments and 1,308 residential buildings. The Stötteritz Citizens' Association was founded on July 1, 1992. The conversion of the manor house of the manor into a dormitory for 24 handicapped people began on December 14, 1992.

Sub-project 4 was the "Ecological Model Estate Oberdorfstrasse".

Since the transition into the 21st century, older factory and manufacturing buildings have been built in these loft apartments in the course of the conversion of their use , with the majority of backyards being and being predestined for this. Since 2015, the influx to Stötteritz has also increased. The green surroundings and the good connection to public transport are particularly popular with families. The thorough renovation of the Franz-Mehring-Grundschule, including its expansion and the sports hall, the secondary school on Weißeplatz and the New Nikolai Gymnasium with a new sports hall and the creation of new daycare facilities, significantly increases the attractiveness of the district.

Marienkirche (2008)

The Marienkirche

In the center of the old town, not far from the lower part of the property, after an old dilapidated mess chapel was demolished in the same place in 1702/03, a single-nave hall church was built, which has been called the Marienkirche since 1906. It is the only baroque church in the city of Leipzig. The Marienkirche has been restored several times, most recently in 1986 and 1995. A special gem in the interior is the altarpiece in the form of a triptych , which was created around 1480 and which is attributed to the Franconian painter Wilhelm Pleydenwurff in recent publications .

The Stötteritz glacial stone pyramid

The glacial stone pyramid (2018)
Inscription on the glacial stone pyramid (2005)

On October 1, 1903 , the glacial stone pyramid on today's Gustav-Schwabe-Platz, about 200 meters from the Völkerschlachtdenkmal , was inaugurated on the bottom of the former Simon windmill . It is 6 meters high, has a base area of ​​5.4 by 5.4 meters and consists of 700 glacier stones. From 1998 a multidisciplinary team explored the property. In 2003 a fundamental renovation took place. The cast iron plaque on the west side of the pyramid bears the following inscription:

“In the ice age thousands of years ago
have the huge glaciers of Scandinavia
its southern foothills extend into this area
and carried numerous stones from Sweden with her
and deposited here.
Such stones are made in 1903
from GENERAL GERMAN CREDIT ANSTALT and
THE LEIPZIG REAL ESTATE SOCIETY
IN LEIPZIG
in whose fields they lay scattered embedded
this monument was erected here at the site.
The monument is protected by noble people. "

This geological attribution of the meaning of the inscription is described as unique in the north German monument landscape, since other monuments of this epoch composed of boulders usually served as media for personal, religious or ethnic-ideological messages.

The idea to build the pyramid came from the theologian Caspar René Gregory , who taught at the University of Leipzig from 1875 . He found glacier stones in the vicinity of his house and suggested that they be put together to form a pyramid. The stones used for the pyramid come from building plots owned by the Leipziger Immobiliengesellschaft (LIG) and a nearby sand pit in Stötteritz. The founders of the pyramid were the Allgemeine Deutsche Credit-Anstalt (ADCA), once founded by Gustav Harkort , and its subsidiary, the Leipziger Immobiliengesellschaft, of which Ludolf Colditz was president .

The pyramid was restored in 2000 by Klaus Bente (Professor of Mineralogy / Crystallography at the University of Leipzig) with funds from the Leipzig Regional Council. Due to the associated research and the inscription, the motif for the construction of the pyramid can be assumed to be an illustration of the so-called theory of inland freezing by the Leipzig geoscientist Carl Friedrich Naumann and the Swiss geologist Charles Adolphe Morlot. This would make the pyramid an early forerunner of today's widespread erratic boulder gardens . In addition, reference is made to the membership of Ludolf Colditz in the Masonic lodge Balduin zur Linde as well as the pyramid shape and the inscription text, which speaks for a reference to Freemasonry .
