history

Tornau belonged to the Electorate of Saxony until 1806 and to the Kingdom of Saxony until 1815 . The place was subordinate to the Hochstift-Merseburg office of Lützen , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 .

In 1713, the entire village of Tornau was measured and mapped. The corresponding land register is still available.

Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , Tornau and the western part of the Lützen district came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 . The place was assigned to the administrative district Merseburg of the province of Saxony in 1816. Tornau belonged to the Merseburg district .

During the first district reform in the GDR, Tornau was reclassified to the Weißenfels district on July 1, 1950 and at the same time incorporated into Muschwitz.

On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Muschwitz, Großgörschen , Poserna , Rippach and Starsiedel merged with the city of Lützen to form the new city of Lützen.

As a result of the planned expansion of the Profen open-cast lignite mine, mining is also planned near Tornau and Wuschlaub . however, a new date has not yet been set.
