history

The Waldhufendorf Altwaldenburg was mentioned in 1290 as "in antiquo Waldenberg". The village, which is older than the neighboring upper town of Waldenburg and the old town of Waldenburg on the other bank of the Zwickauer Mulde, originally formed a settlement complex with Waldenburg Castle and the Waldenburg farm. As a result, Altwaldenburg belonged to the later Waldenburg Castle with regard to the manorial rule and as an administrative village to the Schönburg dominion of Waldenburg until the 19th century . Altwaldenburg was always parish after Waldenburg. Once in the field of Rezessherrschaften Schoenburg an administrative reform was carried out in 1878, Altwaldenburg came in 1880 to the newly established Saxon Amtshauptmannschaft Glauchau . At that time the neighboring town of Eichlaide was already incorporated into Altwaldenburg.

On April 1, 1934, Altwaldenburg and Eichlaide were incorporated into Waldenburg. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Altwaldenburg came as part of the city of Waldenburg in 1952 to the Glauchau district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon Glauchau district from 1990 and in the Chemnitzer Land district in 1994 or 2008 in the district of Zwickau.
