history

Kieritzsch was first mentioned in a document in 1378. A knight's seat in Kieritzsch has been occupied since 1445/47. Between 1555 and 1729 the Kieritzsch manor was owned by the von Helldorf family . After it belonged to the von Uetterodt family between 1764 and 1793 , the von Helldorff family were again owners of the estate between 1819 and 1844. It belonged to the Katrade family around 1859 and the von Funcke family between 1876 and 1920. The manor house was demolished, only one farm building is left.

The Zöllsdorf Vorwerk , which Martin Luther had bought his wife Katharina von Bora as a widow's residence in 1540 , belonged to the Kieritzsch manor . Around 1553/54 she had to sell the property due to financial difficulties. The Zöllsdorf Vorwerk was mentioned again in 1791. In the 19th century, Zöllsdorf was known as the "Wüsten Mark Zöllsdorf" in the Kieritzscher Flur. In memory of Martin Luther, a memorial stone was erected on the former site of the estate in 1817, which was moved to Neukieritzsch in preparation for the excavation of Zöllsdorf by the Peres opencast mine in 1981. The portraits of Luther and his wife, which can be seen today in the Kieritzsch Church , also come from the manor house in Zöllsdorf: For centuries, tradition-conscious local residents and the church patron had these medallions from the former widow's residence of Luther in Zöllsdorf, the Luther Hall in the former manor Kieritzsch was finally able to move to the Evangelical Lutheran Church, which had a Schlag & Söhne organ from 1908 that was renovated from 2010 to 2011 .

The place Kieritzsch with the manor of the same name and the Vorwerk Zöllsdorf were until 1856 in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office Borna . From 1856 Kieritzsch belonged to the Borna court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration .

With the opening of the Leipzig – Altenburg section of the Leipzig – Hof railway line , the "Kieritzsch station" was inaugurated on September 19, 1842. This was three kilometers south of Kieritzsch in the corridor of the neighboring towns of Kahnsdorf and Pürsten . But since both places refused to be named after their place, the stop was named by Kieritzsch. The settlement "Am Bahnhof Kieritzsch" developed in the immediate vicinity of the train station. Their corridor belonged to Pürsten in 1875 and to Kahnsdorf in 1905. The station, which was run as "Bahnhof Kieritzsch" until October 3, 1936, became important as a small railway junction with the opening of the lines to Borna (1867; extended to Chemnitz in 1872 ) and Pegau (1909). After the formation of Neukieritzsch in 1935, the station was named "Bahnhof Neukieritzsch" in 1936.

In 1952, Kieritzsch was incorporated into the Borna district in the Leipzig district. Since the place was in the middle of the Borna lignite mining area, it has been heavily influenced by the lignite industry since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1926, the Böhlen industrial power plant was built in the northern neighboring town of Medewitzsch (today: Lippendorf) . The Lippendorf districts of Lippendorf and Spahnsdorf had to give way to the new construction of the (old) Lippendorf power plant in 1960 . To the east of Kieritzsch, the Witznitz opencast mine or its predecessor was active between 1911 and 1993 . In the south, the Schleenhain opencast mine was opened in 1949 and has been operated as the United Schleenhain opencast mine since 1994/95 . The Peres opencast mine was active in the west of Kieritzsch between 1963 and 1991 . The Zöllsdorf wasteland in the Kieritzsch corridor was partially excavated one year before it was closed in 1990.

On January 1, 1973, Kieritzsch was united with Lippendorf to Lippendorf-Kieritzsch . This has belonged to the Borna district in Saxony since 1990 and to the Leipziger Land district since 1994 . With the incorporation of Lippendorf-Kieritzsch into Neukieritzsch, Kieritzsch has been part of Neukieritzsch since January 1, 1996.

In the course of the expansion of the United Schleenhain opencast mine, a “Kieritzsch mining field” was discussed in 2011, to which the Kieritzsch site should give way.

traffic

Bundesstrasse 176 runs south of Kieritzsch . State road 71 touches the place in the northeast. The Leipzig – Hof railway line runs east of the town , and Kieritzsch has no direct stop at it. The train station in Neukieritzsch was called "Bahnhof Kieritzsch" until 1935, but was in the corridor of Kahnsdorf or today in the corridor of Neukieritzsch. Neukieritzsch station is served by Central Germany's S-Bahn .
