geography

Geographical location

Welfesholz is about 4 km east of Hettstedt and 14 km north of Eisleben at the intersection of the L72 and L158. The Welfesholz (a small forest) borders directly to the west. The meanwhile closed railway line Halle Klaustor – Hettstedt touches the place in the south. A ditch that has recently fallen dry and which once carried water begins in the village. It continues further west towards Hettstedt. The Rote Welle creek north of Welfesholz still flows. Halfway between Welfesholz and Sandersleben on its course was the desert of Rote Welle . Southeast of the local situation is the not very deep war -Grund here means war border. The Sohlbach, which dried up in 1826, flowed through it. In another deepening southeast of the village lies the Nisselsdorf desert .

history

In the battle of the Welfesholz on February 11, 1115 there was a dispute between imperial and Saxon troops, which the Saxons won.

On January 1, 2010, the municipalities of Welfesholz, Augsdorf , Friedeburgerhütte , Hübitz , Ihlewitz , Rottelsdorf , Siersleben and Zabenstedt merged with the city of Gerbstedt to form the new city of Gerbstedt . The Gerbstedt administrative community , to which Welfesholz belonged, was dissolved.

When streets were renamed in many localities of the new town of Gerbstedt after the incorporation, so that no more double street names would appear in different localities, the only street in Welfesholz kept its name Dorfstraße .
