history

Groß- and Kleinwiederitzsch belonged to the Hochstift-Merseburgischen Amt Schkeuditz until 1815 , which had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary school- principality of Saxony-Merseburg between 1656/57 and 1738 . Through the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the western part of the Schkeuditz office was ceded to Prussia in 1815. Groß- and Kleinwiederitzsch remained with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Saxony and were incorporated into the Leipzig district office. From 1856 the places belonged to the Leipzig II court office and from 1875 to the Leipzig District Administration .

The community of Wiederitzsch was created on January 1, 1904 through the merger of the two previously independent rural communities of Großwiederitzsch and Kleinwiederitzsch. During the district reform in the GDR in 1952, Wiederitzsch was assigned to the Leipzig-Land district in the Leipzig district, which became part of the Leipziger Land district in 1994 . On January 1, 1999, Wiederitzsch was incorporated into the city of Leipzig. Since then, the place has been part of the northern district of Leipzig .

Town twinning

Infrastructure

Until March 2007, Wiederitzsch was home to one of eight Bundeswehr hospitals . It was responsible for the eastern military district and was closed. It was replaced by the Leipzig Medical Center, based in the General Olbricht Barracks and partly in the former Bundeswehr hospital. The buyer wants to develop the Bundeswehr hospital together with the former Amberg Bundeswehr hospital into a specialist clinic.

Wiederitzsch also has a branch of the Veterinary Institute Saxony and a primary and secondary school, as well as four kindergartens and a district library as well as a municipal office.

Kommunalblatt is the "community messenger" with the participation of Seehausen and Lindenthal. It comes to all households in the town once a month, is free and provides information about current local events.

traffic

railroad

Wiederitzsch lies on the railway lines Leipzig – Gröbers – Halle / Erfurt , Magdeburg – Trebnitz – Dessau – Leipzig and Magdeburg – Köthen – Halle (Saale) –Leipzig . In 2005, local passenger transport on the Leipzig – Wiederitzsch – Halle (Saale) line (part of the Leipziger Güterring ) , which opened on May 1, 1906, was discontinued. Since then, an S-Bahn line has been running between Halle and Leipzig on the Leipzig-Wahren – Leipzig Hbf line . The route via Wiederitzsch is only used by freight trains and long-distance diversion trains as well as during construction work. The station building of the Wiederitzsch station on this route is only used for operational purposes. The Neuwiederitzsch station, which opened on January 1, 1908, was renamed Leipzig Messe station after a complete renovation and relocation of the platforms by 500 meters to improve tram connections .

The S2 ( Dessau –Leipzig-Stötteritz), S5 ( Halle – Zwickau ), S5X (Halle – Zwickau) and S6 (Leipzig Messe– Geithain ) lines of the Central German S-Bahn stop at Messe Bahnhof, every 30 minutes and every two hours the RE Leipzig – Magdeburg. The ICE and IC Hamburg – Berlin – Munich also stop at the exhibition center for large public fairs.

Local transport

The new section (exhibition grounds - Wiederitzsch) of tram line 16 connects the north and the exhibition center with Leipzig city center and Lößnig . The travel time to the main train station is around 25 minutes. During trade fairs, the 10-minute cycle is compressed to a 5-minute cycle by the supplementary line 16E. Until December 2011, tram line 14 (Plagwitz - Eutritzsch Hospital) also ran to the exhibition grounds on important occasions. The bus routes 87 and 88 connect Wiederitzsch with Breitenfeld, Lindenthal and Wahren. These bus lines run every 60 minutes in each direction. These three lines are operated by the Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe .

In the train of the new line 16, the route was expanded to be handicapped accessible, so that all 4 stations (S-Bf. Messe, Georg-Herwegh-Str., Wiederitzsch Mitte and Dachauer Strasse) can be boarded without any problems.

Street

The Leipzig-Mitte junction of the A 14 is in the immediate vicinity of the district. The Leipzig-Halle Airport and the Leipzig / Halle Airport railway station is only a few kilometers away.

The valuable historical bell was preserved because it was spared by the classifications. In 1996 the bells and the bell cage were completely renovated. This was replaced by an oak bell chair. Below is a data overview of the bell:
