history

Crotenlaide, Merlacher Weg

The place Crotenlaide was mentioned in 1525 as "Krotendorff". In 1534, Crotenlaide is documented as a desert ("on the wustunge das Krottenholtz genanth"). The place name is derived from Old and Middle High German from the word Krota (Krote = toad). In the 16th century, the two names "Krottendorf" and "Krotenleyde" existed side by side. Crotenlaide belonged to the Schoenburg dominions until the second half of the 19th century . It was administered as an official village by the Schönburg rule Glauchau , Amt Hinterglauchau . There was an official property in the village , which exercised jurisdiction over the Crotenlaide estate. After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of the Schönburg recession in 1878, Crotenlaide came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 .

In October 1923 Crotenlaide was incorporated into Meerane. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Crotenlaide came as a district of the city of Meerane in 1952 to the district of Glauchau in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Glauchau from 1990 and in 1994 in the Chemnitzer Land district or 2008 in the district of Zwickau. On March 1, 2011, Crotenlaide, which is usually mentioned together with the neighboring town of Götzenthal , was deleted as part of the municipality of Meerane.
