geology

Zwenkau is geographically located in the north-west Saxon tertiary area . The crystalline base ( basement ) is formed by mesozonal-metamorphic series of the North Saxon saddle and marine sequences of the Zechstein and the Buntsandstein . This spatial proximity stratigraphically and petrographically very different series is caused by the Röthaer fault , on the north flank of which the crystalline of the North Saxon saddle is raised like tipping clods.

Clastic Tertiary sediments follow above the basement , in which the lignite seams II (“ Borna main seam”) and IV (“ Böhlener Oberflöz”) are stored. The upper end of this sedimentary sequence form the layers Böhlen middle Oligocene age in the brackish-marine , glaukonithaltige fine sands are embedded. The so-called "Pödelwitzer molding sands" were extracted and used in Leipzig foundries. The end of the geological normal profile is formed by the Weichselian to Young Holocene loess or loess loam.

climate

The city is located in the temperate climate zone . The average annual temperature in Zwenkau is 8.8 ° C. The warmest months are July and August with an average of 18.5 and 18 ° C and the coldest December and January with an average of 0.5 and −0.5 ° C.

history

Pre-industrial times

Zwenkau around 1840

Prehistoric settlement was established in the area of ​​Zwenkau through archaeological finds for approx. 6000 BC. Proven.

Zwenkau is one of the oldest cities in today's Saxony ; The city was first mentioned in a document in 974 as a Slavic settlement and referred to as Civitas in the Gau Chutizi . Emperor Otto II transferred the city to the diocese of Merseburg at that time . A servant named Nezan was mentioned here.

In 1195 Zwenkau was designated as a market place ( forum ) and in 1332 as a fortified place ( castrum ). Zwenkau has had a mayor since 1356. The Zwenkau church is mentioned for the first time in 1316. Around 1525 the parish church of St. Laurentius and the branch churches of Imnitz (not used since 1988) and Pulgar (demolished in 1971 due to coal mining) belonged to the parish of Zwenkau .

After the Reformation , Zwenkau came under Electoral Saxon rule in 1561/65 with the area of ​​the Merseburger Stift . Even then, the city was an official, that is, it had no landlord. In 1655 the town and office of Zwenkau came to the office of Lützen . Between 1656/57 and 1738 this belonged to the secondary school principality of Saxony-Merseburg .

As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the western part of the Lützen district became part of Prussia in 1815. The town of Zwenkau, which remained with the eastern part of the Lützen district of the Kingdom of Saxony , was initially assigned to the Leipzig district office , but later became part of the Pegau district . With the introduction of the Saxon town order in 1833, the suburbs (e.g. Berg), which had previously been under the administration of the office, were subordinated to the Zwenkau city council. In 1856 the city became the seat of the court office in Zwenkau . Since 1875 she was part of the Leipzig administration . In 1929, the villages of Imnitz and Kotzschbar, which are directly adjacent to the city, were incorporated.

Demographics

Zwenkau developed only slowly in the shadow of the up-and-coming Leipzig. In 1748 just under 90 households were counted. That corresponds to 450 to 500 inhabitants. After the Seven Years' War , the city experienced a commercial boom and the population quintupled in less than 100 years. Even before the actual industrialization, there were 2419 inhabitants in Zwenkau in 1834. In the first half of the 20th century, Zwenkau grew strongly, mainly due to open-cast coal mining and the subsequent industries. From 1950 to 1990 the place lost 40 percent of its population. The increase that has been recorded since then is largely due to the incorporation.


Population development

Zwenkau and the brown coal

From 1890 to 1908, the Zwenkau lignite mine was used for underground mining. The mining had to be stopped due to the strong groundwater flow.

Until the time of the Second World War, Zwenkau was a popular excursion destination for Leipzig's urban population through the Harth forest, which once bordered the city to the northeast . This was cleared and dredged as a result of the opening of the Böhlen opencast mine in 1921 ( renamed the Zwenkau opencast mine in 1969 ). Under the Harth, which mainly consisted of coniferous trees, there were mighty seams of brown coal that were mined from 1950 to around 1975. Due to the continuation of the opencast mine beyond 1970, the demolition of the places Bösdorf and Eythra was finally decided in 1970. Then from 1974 to 1977 the White Elster between Kleindalzig and Hartmannsdorf was routed into a concrete bed around the Zwenkau opencast mine, and the Zeitz – Leipzig railway line between Großdalzig and Leipzig-Knauthain had to be relocated.

Zwenkau housing estate with the Lippendorf power station

From the 1980s onwards, economic lignite planning in the GDR envisaged the “radical coaling” of all existing lignite reserve deposits announced by the SED, the entire urban area of ​​Zwenkau and the southern Elsteraue ( including the small towns of Pegau and Groitzsch ) until Zeitz in stages up to the year To be dredged in 2050 in order to maintain the energy supply and industry of the socialist planned economy. The political change of 1989/90 destroyed these plans. A realization of the project would also have made the area between Leipzig and Zeitz largely free of settlements, the Elsteraue nature reserve in the southern Leipzig area would have disappeared and the White Elster would have had to be relocated to another concrete canal bed.

The mining limit of the Zwenkau opencast mine, which moved counter-clockwise around Zwenkau from 1921 to 1999, was determined by the Planning Association of West Saxony in 1993 after weighing up the interests of the city and the lignite industry. The former Eythra – Zitzschen road marks the limit of the open pit mining. With this decision, the lime tree avenue of the former Eythra Castle and the Eichholz floodplain forest were preserved. The last coal train left the Zwenkau opencast mine on September 30, 1999.

Time after German reunification in 1990

After 1990, Zwenkau's urban structure began to be revitalized, new housing estates were built, the Weinhold-Arkade shopping arcade was built, and with the “KAP ZWENKAU” concept implemented on Lake Zwenkau , the city has its share of the emerging Leipzig New Lake District .

On October 1, 1996, Rüssen-Kleinstorkwitz was incorporated into the city of Zwenkau.

The Belantis amusement park, inaugurated in 2003, is separated from the city by Lake Zwenkau in the north of Zwenkau on the A 38 .

On November 27, 2018, when an aircraft bomb from the Second World War was found in a residential area of ​​the city, the normal daily routine of the Zwenkau people was significantly disrupted, as a restricted area was set up for the evacuation of the bomb, which would allow numerous citizens to be evacuated by the afternoon of the next day required.

City council

Since the municipal council election on May 26, 2019 , the 18 seats of the city council have been distributed among the individual groups as follows:

mayor

coat of arms

The coat of arms shows in silver a nimbly clad saint, in his right hand a black rust, in the left a green palm branch. It depicts the martyr Laurentius , patron of the Merseburg diocese, to which Zwenkau belonged, and also of the town church. The oldest seals from the 15th century only show the rust, since the 17th century the saint himself has been depicted. The use of the city arms was forbidden from 1971 by the then state organs. In 1992 the use of the coat of arms in its current form was approved by the Saxon Ministry of the Interior.

Town twinning

Zwenkau maintains communal connections with the following cities, but there are no contractually stipulated city partnerships.

The Böhlen - Zwenkau city ​​association has existed since April 3, 2008 , whereby the division of labor between neighboring cities was agreed mainly on area and development planning.

Cultural events

While there was no active cultural scene in Zwenkau in the 1990s, the Zwenkau cultural initiative has developed since around 2000 , which among other things organizes a cinema program and organizes concerts. She is renovating the old culture cinema in Zwenkau, an Art Deco building from 1927 that used to have 700 seats. Also important is the Ostrock Zwenkau Friends' Association , which has been organizing rock concerts for Eastern bands for several years. For example, the Renft concert in 2009 was a complete success.

One of the highlights in Zwenkau's calendar of events is the Laurentius Festival , which always takes place on the second weekend in August each year. Other important events are the spring and autumn walks , a tradition introduced by the previous mayor and continued by the current one.

The Neuseen Classics cycling race for professionals and amateurs has been taking place at Whitsun since 2004 . The race is in the tradition of the races around brown coal taking place in the GDR .

Churches

Zwenkau has an Evangelical Lutheran parish with the baroque town church of St. Laurentius from 1727, which was extensively renovated in 2001. The Catholic parish of the Holy Spirit was created by the settlement of Catholic industrial workers at the end of the 19th century. Since 1926 the Catholics collected money for their own church building. In 1938 Zwenkau was separated from the Leipzig Propsteigemeinde as an independent parish vicarie. From 1940 to 1951 the Catholics used the Protestant village church of Imnitz. In 1951 they moved to their own church, which was a converted dance hall, the Kronprinz house .

The saddle yard

The Sattelhof is one of the oldest buildings in Zwenkau and was first mentioned in a document in 1431. The half-timbered building was built around 1500. Parts of the building come from a previous building. In 2000 the Schlegel / Tietze couple took over the farm. Since then, the Sattelhof Association has been looking after the building. The association has also moved a barn from Heuersdorf to Zwenkau.

Zwenkau water tower

The Zwenkau water tower was built in 1904 by Clemens Thieme and is 47 meters high, including the spire. Inside the tower, at a height of 29.2 meters, there is a riveted, loosely mounted steel container with a diameter of 8.50 m, a container height of 6.50 m and a volume of 360 m³. It is used by Fernwasserversorgung Elbaue-Ostharz GmbH to compensate for pressure fluctuations and as a water reserve.

The diameter of the tower is 12 m at the base and tapers up to 10 m. Below the container, from a height of 26 m, there is an upper floor, which can be reached via a wooden staircase in the middle of the tower.

traffic

Road traffic

Bundesstraße 2 runs southeast of the city and B 186 to the southwest . Outside the municipality, about 5 km east of the city center, B 2 and B 95 unite and lead north. After another 2 km, the B 2 / B 95 will be connected to the A 38 via the Leipzig-Süd AS , which is the closest to Zwenkau . In the direction of Göttingen, the A 38 crosses the municipality at the northern end of the Zwenkauer See without a junction, before there are more distant connections to the B 186 in the west with the Leipzig-Neue Harth and Leipzig-Südwest AS .

To simplify the description, the city and the lake are enclosed by a triangle that results from the intersection of the A 38, B 186 and B 2.

air traffic

At the exit of the town, to the southeast of the city, is the Böhlen airfield . The Leipzig / Halle airport is about 35 km and the airport Leipzig-Altenburg 25 km away.

Local public transport (ÖPNV)

Former Zwenkau train station

Until 1966 there was a connection to the rail network with the Zwenkau station on the Gaschwitz – Meuselwitz railway line . The stretch from Zwenkau to Gaschwitz in the north-east of the station was shut down in January 1957 due to the excavation edge approaching from the south and then dredged over until around 1966. As a replacement, a trolleybus operated to Leipzig from December 1956 , which was discontinued in October 1972 after 16 years of operation . The mining edge, which ran around Zwenkau in the north and came from Gaschwitz, required a replacement new construction of the F 2 traffic artery in the east of Zwenkau, today B 2 , with a connection to the F 95 at Großdeuben. Since then, the buses have been running all diesel-powered again. The station building in Zwenkau was renovated as a residential building from 2006 to 2009. In the years that followed, the rest of the station area was completely built over.

The city lies in the network area of ​​the Central German Transport Association . Zwenkau and the cities of Rötha and Böhlen are in tariff zone 152.

The closest S-Bahn stop is the Großdeuben stop, which is just under six kilometers from the center of Zwenkau and is served by the S 6 . The Zwenkau-Großdalzig stop is also located in the Großdalzig part of the municipality on the Leipzig – Probstzella railway line . This traffic station is served hourly by the regional trains Leipzig Hbf  - Zeitz  - Gera  - Saalfeld / Hof of the Elster-Saale-Bahn .

With the regional bus Leipzig , Zwenkau is accessible with four PlusBus lines. These are coordinated with the S-Bahn Central Germany at the Markkleeberg and Böhlen stations. Further regional bus routes open up Zwenkau from all directions. One of the company's bus depots is located in the Zwenkau industrial park by the waterworks .

On weekdays a line of the THÜSAC local passenger transport company runs via Lucka to Altenburg in Thuringia.

Tourist traffic

Pleisser Cycle Path

Several themed cycling and hiking routes lead through Zwenkau. Coming from Leipzig, all of the signposted cycle routes meet at the Elsterbrücke near Kleindalzig . With the exception of the Outer Green Ring , which is cycled through the villages of Kleinschkorlopp and Zitzschen , the routes lead along the western shore of Lake Zwenkau on an asphalt path that is closed to motorized traffic.

From Kleindalzig the Elster and Neuseenland cycle routes leave the Zwenkauer Land and lead together via Wiederau to Pegau in the south. If you want to follow the markings of the 7-lakes hiking trail , hike eastwards at the Zitzschen viewpoint and walk on the south side of the Zwenkau lake to the Lindenallee, which connects the hiker at the man-made Trianon ruins with the Outer Green Ring . Together they continue through the Eichholz to the center of Zwenkau. Southwest of the city limits, the Äussere Grüne Ring runs along the S 72 to Böhlen with a connection to the Pleiße cycle route , while the 7-lake hikers leave the city at the eastern end of the lake in the direction of Gaschwitz and Neue Harth .

Since 2007, a common footpath and cycle path has branched off near Südstraße towards Groitzsch, for which part of the former Gaschwitz – Meuselwitz railway line has been converted. At the time, the construction cost € 350,000, of which the municipalities spent 25% from their own resources. Due to the existing overbuilding, this path in Zwenkau could not be led continuously to the old train station.

schools

The elementary school in Zwenkau is a state-run, while a state-recognized Montessori all-day school has existed in the Döhlen part of the municipality. In addition to the primary school, a free high school is run by the DPFA academy group in Zwenkau. The establishment of a free secondary school in Zwenkau was considered.

The nearest state high schools are in Groitzsch and Markkleeberg , the nearest high school in Böhlen .

Several schools in the community were closed by Saxony's Ministry of Culture due to insufficient student numbers, including the state secondary school in Zwenkau, which existed until 2006, in the building of which the Free Gymnasium now exists.

Others

In the vernacular, Zwenkau is also called "Zwenke". It was nicknamed "Mausezwenke" from the Middle Ages. There are many rumors about why. One version comes from the former competition between Zwenkau and Leipzig for market and trade fair rights. Traders who wanted to go to the market in Leipzig from the south had to pay a penalty in Zwenkau, which the Leipzigers and traders called Mausen (= stealing), making Zwenkau known as Mause-Zwenke.
