history

Böhrigen was first mentioned in a document in 1183. The document shows that the Altzella Monastery , founded in 1162, was originally intended to be built here. It is not known whether construction began here before the convent moved into the later location near Nossen in 1175 . The corridor still belonged to the monastery. The monastery later maintained a smelter here , which the field name Schlackenbusch still reminds of today . It is certain that silver ores from nearby Gersdorf were smelted here. In this connection there were disputes with Margrave Heinrich zu Meißen . Around 1272 he had a monastery hut with two bellows on the Striegis in Böhrigen destroyed. In 1278 the margrave approved the rebuilding of a hut with two bellows.

After the secularization of the Altzella monastery in 1540, Böhrigen came into margravial possession. The village, which at that time consisted of the former monastery property and a few cottagers , was initially an official village in the newly established Wettin office of Nossen . The smelter was sold to a Thomas Winkler in 1565. The manor Böhrigen has been mentioned since 1696, and from then on also exercised the manorial rule over the place. It emerged from a Vorwerk documented in 1539 , which in turn arose from a monastery property of the 12th century. Böhrigen has always been parish to Etzdorf .

Until 1856, Böhrigen belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Nossen . From 1856, Böhrigen belonged to the Roßwein court office and from 1875 to the Döbeln administrative authority , which was renamed the Döbeln district in 1939. In the second half of the 19th century a rapid economic boom began with the settlement of textile companies. At the end of the period of industrialization, the industrial village reached its population bloom. In 1874, Böhrigen received a station on the Roßwein – Niederwiesa railway line , which was closed in 2000 with the cessation of goods traffic on the Roßwein - Niederwiesa section .

With the second district reform in the GDR, the municipality of Böhrigen came to the newly founded district of Hainichen in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). Since 1990 the municipality of Böhrigen has belonged to the Saxon district of Hainichen , which was added to the district of Mittweida in 1994 and in 2008 to the district of central Saxony.

On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Böhrigen merged with the municipalities of Dittersdorf , Arnsdorf , Etzdorf (with Gersdorf ), Marbach (with Kummersheim ) and Naundorf to form the municipality of Tiefenbach . The communities of Tiefenbach and Striegistal in turn merged on July 1, 2008 to form the new community of Striegistal, which means that Böhrigen has been a district of Striegistal since then.
