history

Breitenau

The first recorded place name form dates from 1378 as Breytenow . The place name "Breitenau" is due to the geographical location of the place and can be interpreted as a "settlement in the vast floodplain".

In 1814 August Schumann mentions in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony Breitenau concerning a. a .:

“It has 243 inhabitants, including 12 farmers and 12 cottagers . Here is an official manor and 2 mills of 4 courses . The place is an Oederan'schesPfarrdotal-Lehndorf, about which Elector Christian II has given the pastor to Oederan the fiefs and courts. "

Albert Schiffner contradicts or adds in 1827 a. a .:

"[...] by no means has a manor, but forms an official court, which every time. Oberpfarrer zu Oederan responsible after Landgr. Wilhelm had given the town church there, under the name of Breiten Aw, to an eternal early mass in 1355, to which it is also parish. Before that, Nikl had it. V. Leupelsdorf […] obsessed.
The place has around 330 souls, 18 ½ hooves, rather mountainous, although not exactly bad fields, […]. There are many factory workers here; Numerous heaps and dumps also point to former mining. [...] One of the two mills is called the Kreuzmühle. There used to be a forester here too. "

With the appropriation of the village to the Church of “Our Dear Women” in Oederan, it assumed a special position in terms of fundamental rights. The peasants were not obliged to a landlord, but to the church to perform labor and taxes. These services were precisely regulated in the "Law and Order of the Village of Breitenau 1610". It was stated, for example, that the farmers were obliged to bring in the deputation wood for the pastor of Oederan and to load and unload it.

On January 1, 1921, Thiemendorf was incorporated, followed by Hetzdorf on April 1, 1927.

In 1953 and 1954 two local farms were founded in Breitenau . They merged in 1955 to form the LPG "des Friedens", which specialized in cattle production. In addition to the LPG “des Friedens”, two LPGs of type I were built in Breitenau in 1952 and 1960, respectively. Both companies joined the LPG “des Friedens” in the 1960s, which from 1967 cultivated the entire agricultural area of ​​the place. After the merger with the LPGs from Börnichen and Schönerstadt in 1974, the LPG "des Friedens" Breitenau specialized in animal production with the branches milk and heifers as well as pig breeding. As further branches of production, the embryo transfer of cattle was built from 1983 and the fallow deer enclosure from 1984. After the political change in 1989, the history of the LPG "of peace" ended. On April 3, 1991 the Agrozuchtfarm Breitenau e. G. launched. In 2001 it employed 44 people who farmed 1,600 hectares and looked after 1,300 cattle, including 600 dairy cows. There were also 400 fallow deer, a flock of sheep, geese, ducks and pigeons. Pig production was stopped at the end of 2000.
