|

Storkwitz is a district of the large district town of Delitzsch in the northern Saxony district of the Free State of Saxony . The place was incorporated into Delitzsch in 1996. The community has around 150 inhabitants (as of 2011).
Storkwitz is internationally known for its rare earth deposits, which are unique in Central Europe .
location
The district of Storkwitz is located about four kilometers northwest of Delitzsch city center. To the west, Storkwitz borders on Schenkenberg and Kertitz . Coming from the south, the B 183a runs through the western local area .
geology
Underneath an approximately 1000 square meter area, 500 meters west of the town center, under an approximately 100 meters thick loose rock cover of sand, clay and lignite seams, there is a geologically younger and rare in Europe carbonatite body. This rock contains lanthanoids and niobium . The main components are the elements cerium , lanthanum and neodymium .
This occurrence was discovered by geologists in the 1980s during exploration work on uranium . Confirmation drilling from April to July 2012 was able to prove the previous resource estimates to a depth of 600 meters. It is a resource of 4.4 million tons of ore with 20,100 tons of rare earth oxide with a content of 0.45 percent. In addition, more than 4,000 tons of the metal niobium were certified. From 2014 further drilling is to be carried out to a depth of 1200 meters, as there is great potential for a resource increase with increasing depth.
history
Storkwitz is mentioned for the first time when Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa hands over the place with all goods and all fairness to Abbot Reinboth of the Merseburg Peterskloster. This abbot was the head of this monastery between 1178 and 1186. The manor Storkwitz belonged to the electoral office of Delitzsch until 1815 . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the place became part of Prussia and was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816, to which it belonged until 1952. In the course of the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Storkwitz was assigned to the newly cut Delitzsch district in the Leipzig district, which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 .
On January 1, 1996, Storkwitz was incorporated into Delitzsch with the previously independent villages of Poßdorf , Rödgen , Schenkenberg and Spröda .

The manor was first mentioned in 1437 as a knight's seat in the possession of Hans von Pagk. In the course of the 15th century, the estate experienced a constant change of ownership before it was run as a saddle farm from 1540 . It was uninhabited between 1647 and 1730.
On September 7, 1820, Friedrich von Pfannenberg bought it for 38,200 thalers . From 1860 Wilhelm von Rauchhaupt managed the manors Storkwitz and Queis after retiring from the service as district administrator of the Delitzsch district .
Today the manor is a private residence.
