history

Neuensalz, first mentioned in 1418, was called Nuwen Salcze in 1438 . Investigations at the Neuensalz chapel, however, suggested that it was built as early as the middle of the 12th century on the feasts of a pagan sacrificial site. Economically significant was the use of the brine springs that emerged in Altensalz since 1493 by the Altensalz saltworks , from which the name of Altensalz and Neuensalz is derived. They were located on the right bank of the Trieb on the former Kirchsteig after Gansgrün. Today they are ten meters below the water level of the Pöhl dam.

The manorial rule over Neuensalz lay with the local manor until the 19th century. A part of the place belonged temporarily to the Reusa manor and later to the Thossfell manor. The Neuensalz manor was owned by the von Tettau family in the 16th century . In 1885 Major Hanns Moritz von Zehmen acquired the Neuensalz und Zobes manor. The widowed Elisabeth Christine von Zehmen, b. In 1929 von der Pforte sold the property in Zobes to the farmer Georg Kurz. But she kept the "Schlössel" and the manor Neuensalz that she gave to her daughter Elisabeth v. Voights-Rhetz, b. v. Zehmen transmitted. In 1945 William v. Voights-Rhetz expropriated as part of the land reform .

Until 1856 Neuensalz was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Plauen . In 1856 the place was affiliated with the Plauen court office and in 1875 with the Plauen administration . The Neuensalz stop was opened on June 1, 1923 on the Lottengrün – Plauen railway line. The station was a few kilometers southwest of the place. The breakpoint went out of service on September 27, 1970. Only the station's house on “Bahnhofstrasse” has been preserved.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Neuensalz became part of Plauen-Land in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon "Plauen district" from 1990 and was added to the Vogtland district in 1996 . Between 1958 and 1964 the Pöhl dam was built with the Thossfell and Neuensalz pre- dams .
