Location of Tröglitz in Saxony-Anhalt

Tröglitz is a village in the Elsteraue municipality in the Burgenland district in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The districts of Alt-Tröglitz, Gleina and Kadischen, as well as the residential areas Burtschütz, Stocksdorf and Techwitz belong to the locality Tröglitz .

history

Half-timbered houses in the district of Kadischen (incorporated in 2003, photo 2006)

Tröglitz was built in 1937 as a workers' settlement for the employees of what was then Braunkohle-Petrol AG (BRABAG). The residential and settlement houses correspond to the architectural style of workers' apartments from the 1930s .

Between 1944 and 1945 there was a concentration camp complex in the communities of Tröglitz, Gleina and Rehmsdorf , which was subordinate to the Buchenwald main camp . By the end of 1944, thousands of Hungarian Jews who had to do forced labor for BRABAG were housed in an improvised tent camp in Tröglitz . The “Wille” satellite camp suffered a high death rate. It was the first Buchenwald subcamp with Jewish prisoners.

Characteristic was the heavy construction work that the prisoners had to do, the resulting high death rate and high fluctuation of the prisoners. Between Buchenwald and Tröglitz as well as Rehmsdorf a shuttle traffic developed: sick and dying prisoners were exchanged for new prisoners; individual prison functionaries regularly drove to the main camp and back. The prisoners had to unload building materials, repair roads and tracks in the plant, expose damaged pipe and cable networks and defuse duds so that German technicians could quickly rebuild the complicated chemical plant. The heavy construction work led to complete exhaustion of the prisoners after just a few weeks. When prisoners died on the premises of BRABAG, they were often disposed of together with the rubble. Imre Kertész , who later won the Nobel Prize for Literature, was also employed in the “Wille” subcamp . He processed his experiences in the novel of a fateful man .

The Allied bombing raids on the BRABAG hydrogenation plant also hit houses outside the industrial facilities. In the town of Zeitz , in the towns of Alt-Tröglitz, Rehmsdorf, Torna, Göbitz and Könderitz , high property damage and deaths were the result.

On November 1, 1946, there was a serious railway accident at Tröglitz station . A train carrying refugees and displaced persons was accidentally directed onto a stump track , ran over the buffer stop and derailed . 30 people died and 23 others were injured.

A coal dust explosion in the grinding plant of the Tröglitz hydrogenation plant on May 29, 1948 killed over 40 people and more than 100 were injured, some seriously.

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality Gleina was incorporated.

Together with nine other communities, Tröglitz formed the new community of Elsteraue on July 1, 2003.

Arson attack on a planned refugee shelter in 2015

The district administration of the Burgenlandkreis planned to accommodate around 60 refugees in apartments in Tröglitz in December 2014. The meeting took place in camera. In May 2015, 40 refugees were to be accommodated in Tröglitz in a residential building with twelve apartments. In the run-up to this, citizens of Tröglitz, members of the NPD party and circles close to them carried out protests every Sunday in the village from January 2015. When, at the tenth demonstration, the final rally of the elevator was to be held in front of the private house by local mayor Markus Nierth , he received very little support from the citizens and the Burgenland district did not issue the ban on assemblies demanded by Nierth, he saw himself unable to continue the office . At the beginning of March 2015, Nierth resigned as local mayor in order to protect himself and his family of nine. The non-party theologian , nominated by the CDU, held office for five and a half years.

On the night of April 4, 2015, there was a fire in the roof structure of the residential building intended for the refugees. Two tenants of the house, who were above the area provided for the asylum seekers in their private apartment, were able to get to safety unharmed after they had been warned by residents beforehand. According to the police, the fire was triggered by arson , which Nierth also assumed the following day. Saxony-Anhalt's Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff and Interior Minister Holger Stahlknecht traveled to the crime scene. On April 4, 2015, around 300 people followed the call for a demonstration by the newly founded citizens' initiative “Together - for one another”. Some Tröglitzer expressed the intention to want to take refuge with them privately.

The state security has taken over the investigation, as a political background to the fire was suspected. The statement by the director of the LKA Saxony, Jürgen Schmökel, that it would be investigated in all political directions, triggered criticism in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, since there is no evidence of possible left-wing perpetrators.

After the fire, the district administrator of the Burgenland district Götz Ulrich said that the plans for refugee accommodation would be adhered to. He also stated that he received regular threats including death threats for this decision. Ulrich then received police protection . In January 2016 Ulrich decided that there should not be any refugee accommodation in the house in question, as the renovation will not be completed until 2017.

On July 11, 2016, the Halle public prosecutor closed the investigation without any results. According to the public prosecutor's office, the investigators followed up around 350 leads. Around 600 households were questioned and around 250 interrogations conducted. In six people who could have been connected to the fire, the suspicions were not confirmed.

politics

Local council

The local council is composed of eight elected representatives as follows:

The honorary mayor Markus Nierth, local council member for the CDU, resigned in March 2015. Right-wing extremists had previously planned a rally against his policy in front of his home. On April 16, the local council elected Thomas Körner, a non-party member, as the new mayor with six votes and two abstentions.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on April 20, 1994 by the Halle regional council.

Blazon : “In green, a silver horse straightening up; seven green diamonds in the silver shield head. "

The municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch designed the coat of arms and introduced it to the approval process.

The colors of the place are white-green.

Churches

Two church buildings in Tröglitz belong to the Protestant parish of Rehmsdorf-Tröglitz: In the Gleina district there is a listed Romanesque chapel from the 12th century, the apse of which is decorated with frescoes. The youngest Protestant church in the village is in the district of Burtschütz, built in 1836 by a Schinkel student in the free classicist style on the foundation walls of a chapel that already existed there.

Because many Catholics came to the region through the construction of the hydrogenation plant and after 1945 through the expulsions from the former German eastern territories, the Archbishop of Paderborn Lorenz Jaeger established a parish vicarie in 1941, initially in Techwitz, then in Tröglitz . Initially, the services took place in the Protestant church. As the increase continued, a separate house of worship became necessary. After a building site was found, on April 1, 1951, the subsidiary church parish "Heilig Geist" was founded, on April 1, 1952, the new building was designated and consecrated on March 8, 1953 by Archbishop Jaeger. In 1962 the branch parish was elevated to an independent parish.

Economy and Infrastructure

industrial area

A branch of the Zeitz chemical and industrial park was created on an area of ​​approx. 8 hectares of the former hydrogenation plant in Tröglitz . Mainly manufacturing companies settled here.

school

Tröglitz primary school (2006)

In Tröglitz, the former primary and secondary school building on Friedensplatz was converted into a primary school for all pupils in the individual villages of the Elsteraue community. This means that the Tröglitz school location will be retained in the building erected between 1950 and 1953, which is a listed building due to the elaborate design of the main portal.

Clubhouse

In the Alt-Tröglitz district, the "Marx-Engels" clubhouse of the Zeitz hydrogenation works was built from 1949 to 1951, a hall building in the style of socialist classicism , which was operated by the trade union in GDR times and is now a private event company.

traffic

Tröglitz is on the Zeitz – Altenburg railway and the Tröglitz – Zeitz railway . Before 1944 the station was called "Techwitz". Passenger traffic no longer takes place.
