history

The first documented form of place name dates from 1358 as Aldinhayne . The village of Altenhain probably originated in the 11th and 12th centuries with the high medieval development of the country (formerly the German East Settlement ). In 1330 the manor was acquired by the von Große family. Later this was divided within the family for some time, which is suggested by the documentary mention of two manors in 1606. On July 19, 1741, Theodor August Freiherr von Hohenthal acquired it and bequeathed it to his daughter Getraude Countess von Brühl in 1777, who died in 1783. The estate went back to her father, who died that same year. Friedrich Leopold von Bißing, who was succeeded by his son in 1790, became the new owner.

The local church of St. Johannis was built in 1786/87 after the previous building was demolished in the same place. August Schumann mentions in 1814 in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony Altenhain concerning a. a .:

"It is located 2 hours north of the city of Grimma, on the left side of the Mulde, almost in the middle of the wood, is old-script in terms of the local manor , has a parish church , 265 inhabitants, 6 hooves , 7 horses, 61 cows, [...] , and a mill with 2 gears . The mountain at the foot of which the village lies is called the Collmberg, [...]. "

Manor house of the former manor (2011)

In 1802 Christian Gottlob Vetter acquired the manor. After his death in 1822, it went to a son-in-law named Seyfert and remained there until 1848. The new owner was Friedrich Wilhelm Kabitzsch, who had the manor house built in 1858 according to plans by Leipzig architect Mothes in the style of the early Renaissance. In 1871 a tower-like extension was built.

In 2015 there was a fire in the basement of the castle. However, the fire was extinguished by the volunteer fire brigade before major damage occurred.

On December 10, 1898, when the loading point "Altenhain bei Brandis" opened, Altenhain was given a rail connection on the Beucha – Trebsen line , and on October 1 of the following year, passenger traffic was opened and the station was raised to a stop.

In 1889/90 the church received its current steeple, as the old baroque tower had to be demolished due to its dilapidation and vibrations from lightning.

After the Kabitzsch family owned the manor, it was last owned by Dietrich von Gontard, who acquired it in 1931 and was expropriated in 1945. After the expropriation, the inventory fell victim to looting, with many historical values ​​being lost. In 1946, 12 new farming families from Silesia moved into the manor, and meetings were held in the large hall of the manor house.
In 1948 the Grimma district building authority ordered the building to be demolished - building materials for the buildings of new builders were to be extracted from the demolition material. The then mayor Kurt Gey was able to delay the demolition. After that, Soviet NCOs lived here with their families, who were stationed in Altenhain. In early 1982, the Soviets left the house. Since then, it has been left to decay and, among other things, it has been degenerating through illegal rubbish deposits. In this condition, the Dresden restorer Thomas Lauth bought the mansion and its park in 1996.

On September 28, 1997, rail passenger traffic on the Brandis – Trebsen section was discontinued, and since April 3, 2000, Altenhain has also ceased to be used in freight traffic.

On January 1, 1999 Altenhain was incorporated into Trebsen. After a 14-year renovation period on the manor house, this work was completed in 2010. Various events and changing exhibitions are now open to the public.
