Precipitation diagram

The annual precipitation is 482 mm and is extremely low as it falls in the lower twentieth of the values ​​recorded in Germany. Lower values ​​are registered at just one percent of the German Weather Service's measuring stations . The driest month is February, with the most rainfall in June. In June there is roughly twice as much rainfall as in February. The rainfall varies moderately. Lower seasonal fluctuations are recorded at 42% of the measuring stations.

history

Numerous finds as well as a few preserved burial mounds prove that the area was settled in prehistoric times. A textile find from the Middle Bronze Age should be emphasized, which came to light during an excavation in 1887 in one of the “pagan graves” on the Schafberg. The sheep's wool fragment could be traced back to the 14th century BC using C14 analysis. It is one of the oldest textile finds in Saxony-Anhalt.

The origin of today's district of Teutschenthal lies in at least seven medieval villages, whose settlement names suggest Slavic and German populations. According to a sketch of the village from 1689, the settlements were lined up:

Oesnitz (Osniza (9th century / 11th century), Osnitz (1180), Oznicz (1347), Tutzenthal (1400)),

Dignity (Wordhem (1219)),

Ibitz (Ybitz (1347), Ibiczt (1452)),

Bossdorf (Pameluchesdorp (?)),

Gottsdorf (Godimesdorf (9th / 11th century), Gitistorp (1347), Gotistorf (1347)),

Deussen (Dussina (9th / 11th century), Dusne (1136), Deussenthal (1363)) and

Kusdorf (Cozimensdorp (?), Koischdorf (1452))

from east to west along the Würdebach. Nazdorff (also Natzdorf), mentioned in a Merseburg court document in 1452, is probably identical to today's Etzdorf near Steuden and therefore cannot be addressed as the eighth and westernmost of the Teutschenthal original settlements. Three of the Würdebach settlements, namely Dussina (Deussen), Codimesdorpf (Gottsdorf) and Osniza (Oesnitz) were first mentioned in the 9th century in the tithe index of the Wigberti monastery in Hersfeld. At that time the entire Würdebach valley was in the southern part of the Hassegau. At the beginning of the 12th century, Count Wichmann von Seeburg transferred his possessions in the Würdebachtal to the Kaltenborn monastery near Emseloh. In 1365 the abbey sold all interest and goods in Dussina to the diocese of Merseburg. Since at the same time the remaining lands remained in the monastery property, Ober- and Unterteutschenthal were territorially separated for 450 years.

Dussina, from which Oberteutschenthal emerged, belonged to the Lauchstädt office of the high estates of Merseburg , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . With the Lauchstädt office, this part of Teutschenthal came to the Kingdom of Saxony in 1806 .

The settlements in the Unterthal were administered as fiefs of the County of Mansfeld by the Lords of Trotha . They had on a freehold before 1600 that Would castle can be built and also exercised jurisdiction over the Mansfeld part of Teutschenthal out. When the county of Mansfeld was divided in 1738/80, the Mansfeld part of Teutschenthal with the Trotha manor got the share that the Prussian Duchy of Magdeburg received. During the French occupation (1807 to 1813), the Prussian part of Teutschenthal was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia and assigned to the Halle district in the Saale department. He belonged to the canton of Fienstedt .

During the Thirty Years' War , the warring parties destroyed the place, and the residents owed the reconstruction to Wolf Thilo von Trotha (1620–1683). The economic upswing that began after the end of the war was interrupted a century later by the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) and the Napoleonic occupation of the country from 1807 to 1813.

During the political reorganization after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the part of Teutschenthal that had been ceded by the Kingdom of Saxony was combined with the Prussian part. In 1816 Ober- and Unterteutschenthal were attached to the administrative district of Merseburg of the Prussian province of Saxony and assigned to the Mansfeld lake district . The amalgamation of the previously independent municipalities of Oberteutschenthal, Unterteutschenthal and Eisdorf to a new municipality of Teutschenthal took place on the basis of the law to change the district and municipal boundaries of April 27, 1950 (Saxony-Anhalt Law Gazette from 1950, page 161) and the second ordinance on Law amending the district and municipal boundaries of July 20, 1950 (ibid, p. 274). The official amalgamation of the municipalities listed in the second ordinance was to be carried out by August 1, 1950. In the course of this regional reform, Teutschenthal was reclassified into the newly tailored Saalkreis , which was added to the Saalekreis in 2007. The names "Teutschenthal West" (Oberteutschenthal), "Teutschenthal Mitte" (Unterteutschenthal) and "Teutschenthal Ost" (Eisdorf) come from this time. On November 1, 1993, Köchstedt became part of the municipality of Teutschenthal through reclassification from Bennstedt . The places that were incorporated into Teutschenthal in 2005 and 2010 form with their districts localities of the municipality of Teutschenthal.

The place name developed from the Slavic Dussina (9th century / 11th century) to Dusne (1136) and Deußen / Deussen / Teusen. This is where the names Deussenthal (1363) and Tutzenthal (1400) arise. The mention as Deutzsch Tall on a border and road map from 1571 is followed by the name Deutsche Thal on a village sketch from 1689, from which the current form Teutschenthal is finally formed.

History of industrialization

Potash heap in the north of the station

Teutschenthal was oriented towards agriculture until the 19th century. An industrial upswing only began with coal mining and the triumphant advance of sugar beet , which in turn also had an impact on agriculture.

Conveyor system for the Teutschenthal shaft in 1991

With the construction of the railway line from Halle (Saale) to Kassel in 1864, partly on the Wansleben corridor, train station, post office and residential buildings. At the beginning of the 20th century, especially after the founding of the potash mining company Krügershall AG in 1905, and in the following decades, further residential complexes were built, partly on Langenbogener Flur, for miners, employees and managers of the potash plant. In 1936, IG Farben built a magnesium production facility in Teutschenthal .

Despite the closure of the potash plant in 1982, Teutschenthal-Bahnhof developed into an industrial and commercial center.

The cavities created by the potash extraction represent a major problem, since the carnallitite salt rock has physical properties that cause instability (e.g. brittle fracture). As early as May 24, 1940, 42 miners were killed in such a rock attack. The last cavity collapse occurred on September 11, 1996 and resulted in an earthquake lasting almost 20 seconds with a magnitude of M L = 5.6. The quake was registered worldwide by seismographs . Today efforts are being made in the backfill mine to secure the remaining cavities of around 7 million cubic meters by backfilling (mining: backfill ).

In 2010, the State Office for Geology and Mining announced that the operating company, Grube Teutschenthal Sicherheits GmbH (GTS), had stored toxins in these cavities. The total amount of this “highly toxic and illegally stored filter dust” from incineration plants is estimated at 11,000 tons. After this practice became known, the management of the operating company asked the Saxony-Anhalt state government that “the taxpayer should contribute to the costs” for the future review of the “waste streams”. The GTS company, a subsidiary of the Geiger Group , is still entrusted with the operation of the mine.

On November 8, 2019, there was a deflagration in the mine at a depth of 700 meters . During this time, 38 miners were underground. They were rescued in about two hours; two of them were injured. The cause of the accident has not yet been clarified.

Memorials

politics

mayor

In December 2015, the municipal council called for resignation against the mayor André Herzog, who was in office from January 2010 and who was not party to any party. The reason was Herzog's voting behavior in the regional water and wastewater association in the course of a reorganization of the water fees. The political opponent and a citizens' initiative described Herzog - at that time chairman of the association's assembly of this special-purpose association - as anti-citizen, because he supported its resolutions, which "had led to a multiplication of the annual drinking water costs, especially for low consumers." Resolutions made by the Teutschenthal municipal council were his been disregarded. Ralf Wunschinski (CDU) was elected as the new mayor in September 2016 and took office in January 2017. Shortly thereafter, he gained national fame through unjustifiably terminated childcare places for two children in a community day-care center. In 2018, the local council - other alleged budgetary and criminal offenses - applied for disciplinary proceedings against Wunschinski at the local authority and reported him to the public prosecutor for breach of trust. Tilo Eigendorf was elected as the new mayor on October 20, 2019.

Sports

Motocross track

Motocross races have been held regularly on the race track in the Teutschenthal valley since 1966 , including the “Grand Prix of Germany” for the Motocross World Championship , the Motocross of Nations and the Saxony-Anhalt State Motocross Championship.

The sports club 1885 Teutschenthal is the largest and at the same time the oldest club in Teutschenthal. It includes the sections football, gymnastics, athletics, bowling and, since 2009, the throwing and running team section. This created a nationwide novelty. In a club there are two sections for the same sport. The athletes have been successful for years, because they occupy the top places in the Central German, North German and German championships in various age groups. Until 2009, Teutschenthal was also a federal base for athletics.

One of the most successful sections in Teutschenthal in the SG Eisdorf is the table tennis department founded in 1981. The first point games were played in the district classes. Due to the strength of the game and the number of members, table tennis became a recreational sport in Eisdorf. The steadily increasing playing strength from the 1999/2000 season onwards prompted the section to take part in competitions in the Saalekreis again in future. Today Eisdorf provides teams from the regional league to the district class 6 and a youth team in the Halle district league.
