history

Luther Church in the old town of Waldenburg.

The street village of Altstadt Waldenburg on the southern bank of the Zwickauer Mulde was referred to in 1317 as "in antiqua Civitate Waltenberg". The place is therefore younger than the Altwaldenburg ("in antiquo Waldenberg") on the other bank of the Zwickauer Mulde and the upper town of Waldenburg. Altstadt Waldenburg, sometimes referred to simply as Old Town, was with regard to the basic rule as official village until the 19th century to the beautiful burg rule Waldenburg . The old town had a church since the 14th century, in which only the Grünfeld, which was laid out at the end of the 18th century , was parish with the Grünfeld Park , which was also created at this time . The churches in Oberwinkel and Niederwinkel still belonged to the parish. Today's Luther Church was built in 1823/24. On May 10, 1875, the "Waldenburg" station on the Glauchau – Wurzen (Muldentalbahn) line south of the old town of Waldenburg was opened. Pottery, for which Waldenburg is famous, was an important line of business in the town.

After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Old Town Waldenburg and Grünfeld came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 .

On July 1, 1928 the old town Waldenburg was incorporated with Grünfeld to Waldenburg. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Altstadt Waldenburg became part of the town of Waldenburg in 1952 and became the district of Glauchau in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Glauchau from 1990 and in 1994 in the Chemnitzer district Land and 2008 in the district of Zwickau. When rail traffic on the Muldentalbahn was discontinued, the “Waldenburg (Sachs)” station went out of service on August 15, 2002.
