history

Albertsthal, place-name sign

The history of Albertsthal began on June 29, 1739, when Johann Daniel Gräf acquired a building site from Count Otto Ernst von Schönburg - Hinterglauchau on the manorial vineyard in the southern Glauchauer Flur at the intersection of Thurm / Zwickau and Voigtlaide . There Gräf built a house in which he set up a tavern. The wine meadow at the “Grüner Baum” inn takes its name from the attempted viticulture there. Nearby was the Albertsthal settlement in Rothenbacher Grund around 1766, for which the place name around 1767 "Wein-Wiese an Rothenbach an" and 1774 "Albertsthal", after the founder, Count Albert Christian Ernst von Schönburg, is documented.

Regarding the manorial belonged Albertsthal until the 19th century as office Village to rule Glauchau , Office Hinterglauchau . After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of the Schönburg recession in 1878, Albertsthal, located in the Glauchauer Flur, came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 . Ecclesiastically, the place has always been part of Glauchau.
