history
.jpg)
Claussnitz was first mentioned in a document in 1277. Count Dedo von Rochlitz, who founded the Zschillen Monastery in what is now Wechselburg , probably brought settlers to the area in the 12th century . The local church was built around 1200. The neighboring towns of Röllingshain, Diethensdorf and Markersdorf have always been parish into these. Like its three current districts, Claußnitz originally belonged to the monastery of Zschillen , which in 1543 came with the entire property to Duke Moritz of Saxony . He immediately secularized it and exchanged it for the Lords of Schönburg for the towns of Hohnstein , Wehlen and Lohmen in what is now Saxon Switzerland . Therefore, the name Wechselburg came up for the place and the monastery complex. Since then, Claußnitz has been run as an official village of the Schönburg rule, Wechselburg , which belonged to the Lords of Schönburg under Wettin suzerainty. As part of the administrative reorganization of the Kingdom of Saxony, Claußnitz was subordinated to the administration of the Royal Saxon Office of Rochlitz as part of the Schönburg feudal lordship of Wechselburg in 1835 . In 1856 Claussnitz came to the Burgstädt court office and in 1875 to the newly established Rochlitz District Administration (since 1939: district ). In 1832, after a year of construction, the school at the churchyard, which is known today as the "Old School", was inaugurated. The previous school building next to it went out of service at the same time. After the inn "Weißes Roß", which was then on the Anger, burned down in 1886, construction of a new school (today's elementary school) began at the former location of the inn's barn. The extension building in 1904 gave it its present appearance. In the second half of the 19th century, the Chemnitz Valley was opened up for traffic. On the railway line Wechselburg – Küchwald (Chemnitz Valley Railway), which opened in 1902, today's districts of Markersdorf and Diethensdorf received railway stations.
The incorporation of Röllingshain to Claußnitz took place on April 1, 1948. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the Claußnitz community came to the newly formed Rochlitz district on July 25, 1952 , but only a few months later on December 4 of the same year became the Chemnitz district -Land in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land district and Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). Diethensdorf and Markersdorf were also affected by this reclassification. In 1951 the Claussnitzer School was given the character of a central school. Since 1959 all Röllingshain students went to school in Claußnitz. In 1960 the Markersdorf students followed from grade 8, in 1971 the Diethensdorf students and in 1980 the Markersdorf students from the 1st grade. At the same time, in 1980 the ten-class “ Maxim Gorki ” polytechnic high school was built as a prefabricated building . The school on the Anger was expanded as a polytechnic center (Polyzent). With the school reform of the Free State of Saxony in 1992, the Claussnitz Polytechnic High School was dissolved and the Claussnitz elementary school was established in the Anger building and the Claussnitz Middle School (today: Claussnitz High School) in a prefabricated building.
Since 1990 the Claußnitz community has belonged to the Saxon district of Chemnitz . On March 1, 1994, the communities Diethensdorf and Markersdorf merged with Claußnitz to form today's community of Claußnitz. As a result of the Saxon district reform , this community came to the newly formed Mittweida district in August of the same year and, following another district reform, to today's Central Saxony district in 2008 . On the Chemnitz Valley Railway, passenger traffic was discontinued in 1998 and freight traffic in 1999, and the line was closed in 2002. The Markersdorf-Taura station has been redesigned as a museum station. In contrast to the rest of the route north of Chemnitz, which was redesigned as a cycle path, the tracks were retained as a museum railway up to the Schweizerthal-Diethensdorf stop about two kilometers away with the Amselgrund and Neuschweizerthal stations. To the vehicle park of the Eisenbahnfreunde Chemnitztal e. V. belongs Besides diesel engines V 10 B and V 22 , a two-way TRACTOR.ADVANTAGE RS 09 / GT 124 . In addition to the route, the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path was built in 2019 .
