history

Döben Church
Döben Castle (2009)

A circular structure with a very large village square was created from a Burgward installation between two valleys leading towards the Mulde . In 1046 Döben was first mentioned in a document in connection with the Burgward Groby . In 1117 Wiprecht von Groitzsch conquered the town of Döben and destroyed Döben Castle . A good 150 years later, Döben came under the rule of the Margraves of Meissen in 1286 .

The choir tower church in Döben is of Romanesque origin and dates from the 12th century. After an internal and external reconstruction in 1698, the church received its present form. Noteworthy are a late Renaissance altar, a pulpit from the 17th century, a Romanesque font and interesting old grave slabs, including the porphyry slab of a Döben burgrave (around 1200). In 1563 a church school teacher was named for the first time.

The old school building was probably built around 1650, 1735 and 1778 through extensions from the former sexton's house . In 1968 a new school was built, which was expanded in 1988. In 1999 it was finally closed.

August Schumann mentions Döben in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony in 1814 regarding, among other things:

“The village has 175 inhabitants with 1 ⅞  hooves , 5 horses and 63 cows. [...] In documents from the Middle Ages, this village is often called a town. [...] At Döben the merchants in Chemnitz buy a lot of raw yarn, which causes a strong spinning mill. In the vicinity of the village there are good clay stores that are leased to the potters at Grimma. "

Albert Schiffner added or corrected in 1828 among other things:

“The 175 inhabitants given in the Lex. Concern the salt consumers over the age of ten listed in 1789; the true number of souls is around 300. A lot of stone fruit is grown here. One also collects angelic sweet , black hellebore and the like in the area . s. w. for the Leipzig druggists. "

After 1910 Döben received electricity. A water cooperative was founded, which supplied a small part of the town with running drinking water.

In 1935 the place celebrated the 1000th anniversary. At the beginning of the 1960s, the entire village began to be equipped with a drinking water, town gas and partial sewer network.

On January 1, 1967, Grechwitz and Neunitz were incorporated and the village of Dorna, which had previously belonged to Grimma, was reclassified into the new municipality of Döben.

On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Döben was incorporated into Grimma.
