history

The place Tegau was founded by Sorbs . It is first mentioned in a document in 1397. W. Kahl recently records 1071.

The economy was and is shaped by agriculture. The large mill pond southeast of Tegau am Tegbach is reminiscent of the mill and the craft in Tegau. Master Heinrich Wolff , the Tegaumüller, was born around 1625 . This is the first documentary evidence of the watermill near the village. Until 1937 the mill used an overshot water wheel. The last miller then bought a water-powered turbine. After his death, the mill was sold several times and the milling operation was stopped.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent community of Burkersdorf was incorporated.

religion

The place has a Protestant parish of 225 parishioners. The community belongs to the parish of Dittersdorf .

Attractions

The place is characterized by the St. Antonius Church. The first building of the church in the Gothic style disappeared for the most part when the church was rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was at this time that the tower, which verifiably dates from the 13th century, received its baroque dome. Its tail dome is 41 m high. In 1870 the church was completely redesigned within 9 months, so that many elements of the neo-Gothic can be found today. There is still a Gothic entrance portal on the west gable.

economy

Hartsteinwerke Burgk GmbH & Co. OHG mines red and gray limestone in a quarry on the Vogelsberg south of the village, which was and is used for various purposes. Raw blocks, which were suitable for processing stone, were used as Saalburg marble .
