location
Zwötzen is located south of the core city of Gera and east of the White Elster in its floodplain . The railway line from Gera to the south runs through the district.
history
The first Sorbian settlements are already reported from the time of the Great Migration in the 7th century. Zwötzen was first mentioned in 1314 as Zcwoczen ; the name was probably derived from svecena (Slavic for consecrated place) or from the Slavic personal name Swoc .
In 1533 Zweczen was designated as a church and border village of Slavic foundation. In 1647, at the end of the Thirty Years' War, Zwötzen had 54 inhabitants and 12 houses. Due to its location as a suburb of the industrial city of Gera, Zwötzen grew rapidly at the time of industrialization and by 1871 the population rose to 674, the Gera - Eichicht railway line (via Saalfeld) and the first large bridge structure were built and put into operation. In 1890 the Gera-Greizer worsted spinning mill goes into operation.
In 1892 the mechanical weaving mill Meinhard & Bierling was built at Langen Straße 71, the “Heinrichsstift” children's institution of the Evangelical Church was opened and the Royal Saxon State Railway opened the route from Gera-Süd to Wünschendorf with the Gera-Ost stop in Zwötzen. The connection to a water pipe system takes place in 1907, the gas connection to the Gera gas network took place in 1910.
In 1894 the old evangelical parish church of St. Martini, which can be traced back to 1604, was demolished because it had become too small for the place. The new, neo-Gothic Zwötzen church was consecrated on November 10, 1895 . For the inauguration of the Zwötzen school on October 30, 1911, its first rector, Bruno Geweniger, wrote a commemorative publication, the first chronicle of Zwötzen.
On January 1, 1919, Zwötzen was incorporated into Gera, at which time it already had more than 5,500 inhabitants. The Weissker Gebr. Grinding machine factory was put into operation in 1921 at Kaimberger Strasse 9. In 1943 the worsted spinning mill inaugurates the first company kindergarten in Geras.
In 1944, because of the war damage, makeshift homes are under construction in the Schafgraben and between Lusan and Zwötzen. On November 30th of that year, mainly railway facilities and industrial plants are destroyed in a bomb attack.
On February 23, 1945 bomb attack on Zwötzen, during which u. a. the worsted spinning mill Zwötzen is hit.
In 1993 the textile workers' stadium was renamed "Sportzentrum Gera-Zwötzen Karl Harnisch". The worsted spinning mill on Ruckdeschelstrasse is liquidated. In 1998 the foundation stone for the residential and commercial building "Bürgerhof" is laid. It contains assisted living operated by the Diakonie as well as a shopping center and a savings bank branch on the ground floor.
Zwötzen manor
The Zwötzen manor was a manor suitable for state assembly . The patrimonial jurisdiction in the form of inheritance jurisdiction over Zwötzen and part of Dürrenebersdorf was connected with the possession of the manor . The lower jurisdiction was abolished on January 1, 1855.
The Zwötzen manor had been owned by the von Lüschwitz family since the end of the 15th century, by the Heubler family since 1691, by Brettin since 1742 , by Kutschenbach since 1803/04 , Wurmb von Zink since 1811 , Albert since 1820, Schenk and since 1826 Schlick since 1862.

When the new main statute of the city of Gera came into force on June 1, 2014, a district constitution was introduced for Zwötzen . On September 14, 2014 Matthias Lagojda was elected mayor of the district. He maintains support in the local council through ten other local council members .
Sports
Zwötzen is the home of TSV 1880 Gera-Zwötzen . The soccer team, after they had been promoted to the Thuringian League in 2003 , left the club and merged with SV 1861 Liebschwitz to form 1.

From 2006 the first men's team, which rose to the NOFV Oberliga in 2007 , played in the larger Stadium of Friendship , but moved back to Zwötzen for some regional league home games during the 2007 Federal Horticultural Show . After the league relegation in 2010, Zwötzen is now the sole venue again.
education
At the start of the 1975 school year, the district received a new polytechnic high school, the Bertolt Brecht School. It was demolished in 2012. On September 26, 2005, the 9th state primary school moved into what was then the Zwötzen regular school. Since November 17, 2006 the school has had the common name Zwötzener Schule . Since the 2008/2009 school year, the primary school has been in the building alone. On May 27, 2014, the support association of the Zwötzen primary school was founded.
traffic
Zwötzen had two train stops, one of which is still in operation today. The railway line Leipzig – Probstzella from Leipzig via Gera to Saalfeld or Zeulenroda / Hof and the trains of the Elstertalbahn from Erfurt via Gera to Greiz and on to Weischlitz run via Gera-Zwötzen station . The Elstertalbahn ran through the former Zwötzener Haltpunkt Gera Ost (formerly Zwötzen Ost) until October 24, 2016, this section of the route was closed in the area of the city of Gera.
The Gera tram ran from November 19, 1925 from the city center through Reichsstrasse over the Ochsenbrücke to Zwötzen; the last stop at that time was in today's Zwötzener Straße. From 1959, the railways ran in the ring traffic city center - Debschwitz - Lusan - Zwötzen - city center (so-called Südring). In 1971, however, the Zwötzen-city center section was discontinued through today's Reichsstraße, so that there was only the route via Debschwitz to Zwötzen. Zwötzen has been served by line 2 Lusan / Brüte – Zwötzen since 1996. In 2004 this line was shortened by a few hundred meters: a new turning loop at Zwötzen station with a combined platform was put into operation. Line 2 has been running to the Lusan / Zeulsdorf terminus since June 2012.
Line 1 from Untermhaus through the city center and Reichsstraße to Zwötzen has been in operation since November 2006 . The Wendeschleife is near the junction with Kaimberger Straße. Lines 1 and 2 are not connected to each other. A possible connection via Lange Straße is included in the city's zoning plan.
Zwötzen is also served by bus lines 16, 18 and 25 of the transport and operating company Gera and line 219 of RVG Regionalverkehr Gera / Land . The 56 meter long pedestrian bridge has been connecting Zwötzen with Debschwitz in the extension of Langen Straße over the Elster since 1980. The Elster Cycle Path runs along the Elsterdamm and connects four countries, the Czech Republic , Saxony , Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt - from the Vogtland through the Thuringian slate mountains to the Leipzig lowland bay - to tourists from the Elster spring over 250 km .
Attractions
The Protestant Zwötzen Church of St. Martini was built as a neo-Gothic building with yellow brick facing in 1894/95 by Julius Zeißig from Leipzig as a two-aisled hall church with a north-eastern bell tower instead of a previous building. The equipment comes from the time of the builder. Two carved figures of saints from the Baroque era were taken from the village church, which was demolished in 1894, and a life-size wooden crucifix from Gera- Kaimberg . A Luther sculpture created by Axel Döhler in the 50s was newly installed in the church. The colored choir glazing took place in 1984.
The Villa Rothe in Liebschwitzer Straße was built in 1899/1900 by the architect Carl Zaenker.
Until the redesign in summer 2019, there was a sculpture of a bear group with three playing bear children, created in 1952 by Gera sculptor Kurt Erich Muckisch from sandstone, on Meta-Böhnert-Platz . The unfortunately worn out plastic was initially stored and replaced by the bronze sculpture Mühle by Hans-Peter Goettsche. Now the happily playing children invite you to the newly created crayon playground , just as they did for decades on the Osterstein castle area.
