In addition to the main town, the Floßmühle district is located on the Flöha. This arose from the former settlement around the raft place and the paper mill.
history
In 1369 the later desolation of Röthenbach (an outbuilding of Rauenstein Castle) was first mentioned in a document. Borstendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1378 as Borsindorf . The name probably goes back to the personal name Boreš (Borso).
With the Reformation in 1539 Borstendorf daughter church is the parish Waldkirchen . With the start of rafting on the Flöha, a raft place was set up around 1573 . A school is first mentioned around 1617.
Violin making developed in Borstendorf towards the end of the 17th century . In 1746 a stone bridge with two pillars is built over the Flöha. In 1820 the town council decided to build a new church. In 1845 the new toll village street Waldkirchner Eppendorfer Halbchausee was completed. Bostendorf has been a branch church of the Parish Grünhainichen since 1848. With the commissioning of the Reitzenhain – Flöha railway line in 1875, the community received a rail connection, and the mills on Floßplatz also received a siding. A new school building is inaugurated on July 13, 1893. The Borstendorf volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1897. In the years 1901/1902 an electricity plant was built for the raft mill on the Flöha. A public electricity network was installed in 1911/1912. In 1903 Borstendorf becomes an independent parish. In 1927 the newly built water pipeline was put into operation. A swimming pool was built in 1927/1928. Due to the numerous manufacturers of chessboards in the town, chess became a compulsory subject in the Borstendorfer school in 1937 .
In 1945 the largest resident company, the paper mill CG Schönherr, was expropriated and in 1946 the factory, the hydropower plant and the sawmill were dismantled as a reparation payment . In 1959 a village cinema was opened. During the Chess Olympiad in Leipzig in 1960, the chess village Borstendorf was represented with its own exhibition. In 1973 a ski tow lift was opened. In 1990/1991 a central sewage treatment plant was built. Borstendorf became a member of the Wildenstein administrative association in 2001 through the Chemnitz-Erzgebirge municipal area reform law. A unanimous resolution of the municipal council to withdraw from the administrative association Wildenstein and an integration into the municipality of Leubsdorf in the then Freiberg district in 2006 was unsuccessful. A citizens' initiative was then founded.
On January 1, 2015, the previous municipality of Borstendorf was incorporated into the municipality of Grünhainichen.
