Church of St. Gotthard in Jahna. Info: A late Gothic hall church, dated according to a building inscription to the year 1534. The church was built on the alluvial land of the former Muldental valley, so that the church tower already leaned during construction. A building that shapes the local image and landscape, valuable in terms of building and church history.

According to the information board: Details about the construction and construction period of the church "St. Gotthard" in Jahna are as much in the dark of history as its exact year of origin. It is known that a first church stood on the site of the current building from around 1150. Since the church tower was built on poorly load-bearing alluvial sand, the ground under part of the church tower obviously gave way immediately after its construction. It got its characteristic inclination of 4 centimeters per 1 meter of height, which has not changed since then. The inclination of the tower is particularly clear when looking at the door, which was installed vertically in 1834.

A beautiful, quiet bike path. Narrow, but varied, and still easy to ride.

In 1002, the newly elected German king, Henry II, appointed Gunzelin as the new margrave of Meissen, who also acquired possession of the castle. In 1003, Bolesław II of Bohemia, as had apparently been agreed upon, demanded that Gunzelin surrender Meissen Castle, which he refused. The background to these events was that the Ekkehardines were closely related to the Polish Piast dynasty. Until then, they had primarily opposed the Bohemian Přemyslid duchy, which was allied with Bavaria. After the murder of Ekkehard, who had applied for the German crown, there were fears that a noble family other than the Ekkehardines might be appointed margrave. With the conquest of Lusatia and Meissen, Bolesław had created a fait accompli. Henry II had no choice but to appoint Gunzelin, a member of the Ekkehardine family. With his actions, Gunzelin ignored the claims of his nephew Hermann, who, together with his mother Swanehilde

The Polish Piast Duke Boleslaw Chrobry (the Brave, son of Miezko) took the death of Emperor Otto III and the assassination of Margrave Ekkehard I of Meissen in 1002 as an opportunity to conquer the March of Meissen east of the Elbe. While he was able to occupy the land relatively easily because he was in harmony with the Slavic population, the German garrison defended the castle. However, it was ultimately captured with the help of Gunzelin, Ekkehard's brother. The castle garrison was granted free withdrawal.[10]
