history

State division of the Altenburger Land until 1920

Zipsendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1156. In 1612 the stately farming village had seven farmers and a large number of craftsmen and trades. Salt dealers were also there. In the 18th century, cattle epidemics, storms, war and fires caused major setbacks in the village. Although Zipsendorf goes seamlessly into Meuselwitz today, there was an administrative border between the places until 1952. Zipsendorf is one of the few places in today's Altenburger Land district that historically did not belong to Saxony-Altenburg . Together with today also belonging to the Thuringia Meuselwitz places Brossen , Falkenhain and Rusendorf was Zipsendorf to 1815 in the office Zeitz , which as part of the Bishopric of Naumburg-Zeitz since 1561 under electoral Saxon stood sovereignty and between 1656/57 and 1718 for Sekundogenitur -Fürstentum Saxe-Zeitz belonged to. The decisions of the Congress of Vienna the place came in 1815 to Prussia and in 1816 the district Zeitz in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony allocated. In 1920 the village had 3,000 inhabitants.

In 1870 coal mining began in Zipsendorf, which was located in the western Prussian part of the Meuselwitz-Altenburg lignite mining area . This was accompanied by industrialization in the area. The first briquette factory with the name “Vereinsglück I (Zipsendorf I)” opened in 1884. It was in operation until 1967. The briquette factories "Fürst Bismarck (Zipsendorf III)" (1908 to 1991) and "Vereinsglück II (Zipsendorf IV)" (from 1910) followed. In civil engineering , the lignite was mined in Zipsendorf in the pits “Fürst Bismarck No. 138” (1893 to 1940) and “Damage pit No. 148” (1901 to 1914). In the opencast mine , the smaller "Damage Pit I" (1902 to 1934) and the "Opencast mine Leonhard II (Sedan)" (1918 to 1926) were in operation. The larger-scale mining began with the " Zipsendorf-West (Leonhard III) " (1938 to 1952) and " Zipsendorf-South " (1948 to 1964) opencast mines . The neighboring towns of Oberhaide , Wuitz and Sabissa had to give way to them. Between 1901 and 1969 Zipsendorf had a stop on the Gera-Pforten – Wuitz-Mumsdorf railway , while the Zeitz – Altenburg railway passed the place without stopping.

With the formation of the states in the SBZ , Zipsendorf and the Zeitz district came to the newly founded state of Saxony-Anhalt . On July 1, 1950, the neighboring town of Brossen was incorporated into Zipsendorf. With the territorial reform in the GDR in 1952 , Zipsendorf and its Brossen district were assigned to the newly cut Zeitz district in the Halle district . On December 4, 1952, the communities of Zipsendorf with Brossen, Falkenhain with the corridor of Rusendorf and Mumsdorf, which only came to the Zeitz district in 1950, were reclassified to the Altenburg district in the Leipzig district .

On January 1, 1973, Zipsendorf and Brossen became districts of Meuselwitz through incorporation. With the re-establishment of the Free State of Thuringia, Zipsendorf came as a district of Meuselwitz to the Thuringian district of Altenburg, which merged in 1994 to form the district of Altenburger Land.
