history
The beginnings up to the division of Leipzig
The place was first mentioned under the name Torgove in a document from the year 973. When the place became a town is not dated. At least from the year 1267 there is a note that speaks of the city of Torgau.
The first mention of the vigilante group, Die Geharnischten, in the Torgau, Oschatz and Grimma city union , which became famous in the Wurzen feud in 1542.
In 1485 the Leipzig division took place between the brothers Ernst and Albrecht .
Origin and meaning of the name of the city
In the course of the years the spelling of the name von Torgau varied only slightly in contrast to many other place names. For example, in numerous documents and files:
- 973 Turguo
- 1004 Torgua, Turgua
- 1119 Thurgovve, it is called a mercatus (mercatus is trade, market, fair).
- 1181 Thurugowe
- 1204 A noble family is named after the town, von Torgau
- 1234 Torgowe
- 1243 Turgowe
- 1350 Turggo, civitas Turgow (civitas is civil right or citizenship )
- 1406 Thurgaw, Turgaw, Torgau
- Since 1791 Torgau has been written and spoken as it is today.
The name is of old Sorbian origin; “Torg” means market (cf. Upper Sorbian torhošćo ). So Torgow is a market place.
Torgau during the Reformation
Ernst made Torgau the residence of his sphere of influence. Hartenfels Castle became the main residence of the Ernestine electors: Friedrich the Wise , Johann the Steadfast and Johann Friedrich resided here . At the time, Torgau, along with Hartenfels Castle, was the political center of the Reformation and is now an important Luther site in Saxony. The saying goes down: "Wittenberg is the mother, Torgau the wet nurse of the Reformation". In March 1530 Martin Luther wrote the Torgau articles here together with Jonas , Melanchthon and Bugenhagen . Johann Walter , the editor of the first Protestant choir hymn book, worked as city cantor in Torgau from 1526.
In the Schmalkaldic War from 1546 to 1547, the Protestant princes were defeated by Emperor Charles V. As a result of the Wittenberg surrender , Torgau came from Ernestine Saxony under Johann Friedrich to Albertine Saxony under his cousin Moritz in Dresden . Due to the simultaneous change of electoral dignity, it remained in Electoral Saxony. From then on, Hartenfels Castle was only a secondary residence, but never lost its symbolic significance for the Reformation movement.
In 1552 Luther's widow Katharina von Bora traveled to Torgau to get away from the plague that broke out in Wittenberg . In a carriage accident , however, she broke her pool and died of the consequences on December 20, 1552 in Torgau. There is a museum dedicated to her in the house where she died . Her tomb in the church of St. Marien is one of Torgau's sights.
The time up to National Socialism
On November 3, 1760, the last great battle of the Seven Years' War took place with the Battle of Torgau on the Süptitzer Heights .
In 1811, on the orders of Napoleon, the Torgau fortress was expanded, but this did not prevent his defeat. According to the will of the victors and the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Torgau fell to Prussia .
From 1854 there was a Catholic church primarily for the Catholic soldiers in Prussian service; it burned down in 1906. In 1909 the larger successor building was inaugurated elsewhere.
At the time of National Socialism , from 1943 to 1945, Torgau was the seat of the Reich Court Martial . In the Torgau Wehrmacht prison on Fort Zinna, over 1,000 death sentences were imposed and carried out. The executions included conscientious objectors , Jehovah's Witnesses , resistance fighters and American prisoners of war . Today there is a museum managed by the Saxon Memorials Foundation .
From February 1941 to April 1945, Torgau housed the administration of the prisoner-of-war camp Stalag IV D in a former print shop on Naundorfer Straße . While around 800 prisoners of war lived in the camp in Torgau, on October 1, 1944, a total of 45,223 prisoners of war were registered in Stalag IV D in Torgau. Almost all of them were distributed to work details in the surrounding area.
The memorial book of the Federal Archives for the victims of the National Socialist persecution of Jews in Germany (1933–1945) lists three Jewish residents of Torgau who were deported and murdered .
The encounter on the Elbe
Torgau became the end of the Second World War international fame when at 25 April 1945 , Soviet and American troops met on the Elbe in the city and this on April 26, 1945 Elbe Day for the cameras on the destroyed Elbe bridge put in scene .
The first contact between the two armies was during the war in Europe on April 25, 1945 on the Elbe near Strehla , 30 kilometers upstream from Torgau. The Elbe Day commemoration commemorates this event. One of the US soldiers attending the meeting at the time, Joe Polowsky , later campaigned for April 25th to be recognized as "World Day of Peace". According to his last will, he was buried in the Protestant cemetery in Torgau in 1983.
Post-war until 1989
From September 1945 to October 1948 the operational NKVD in Torgau in the former Wehrmacht prison Fort Zinna and in the nearby Seydlitz barracks the special camp no. 8 and no. 10, .
Between 1964 and 1989 there was a closed youth work center in Torgau .
After the end of the Second World War, Torgau, which previously belonged to the former Prussian administrative district of Merseburg , became part of the newly founded state of Saxony-Anhalt . In 1952, as part of the administrative reform in the GDR, it was assigned as a district town to the Leipzig district .
Torgau becomes Saxon again
When the boundaries of the new federal states were determined with the reunification in 1990 , Torgau came to Saxony as a result of a referendum, together with most of the Leipzig district.
On January 1, 1994, Torgau became the administrative seat of the Torgau-Oschatz district and on August 1, 2008 of the northern Saxony district . The former district town of Delitzsch has significantly more inhabitants, but is decentralized.
