history

Auerbach was first mentioned in 1286. Until 1856 the place belonged to the Electoral Saxon and Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau . In 1856 Auerbach came to the Zwickau court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administration . Until the 19th century, Auerbach was dominated by agriculture. Due to the coal mining in the Zwickau district , Auerbach experienced an increase in population. At the beginning of the 1920s, the settlement on today's "Karl-Marx-Strasse" was built as a miners' settlement.

In 1952 Auerbach first came to the Zwickau-Land district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). However, at the end of 1952, the place left the Zwickau-Land district. On December 4, 1952, Auerbach was incorporated into the then independent city of Zwickau together with Pöhlau and Niederhohndorf . The former structure of Auerbach as a forest hoof village is only visible in the eastern area. Since January 1, 1996 there has been a sister church relationship between the parishes in Eckersbach and Auerbach.
