history

Old town hall Diethensdorf

The Waldhufendorf Diethensdorf was first mentioned in 1486 as Dythmannsdorf . The place originally belonged to the property of the Zschillen monastery , 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, Diethensdorf has been run as an official village of the Schönburg rule, Wechselburg , which belonged to the Lords of Schönburg under Wettin suzerainty. Ecclesiastically, Diethensdorf has always been part of Claußnitz. Until 1760 the Diethensdorf pupils went to school in Claußnitz or they were taught by a court ladder. In 1762 the place had its first public teacher. As part of the administrative reorganization of the Kingdom of Saxony, Diethensdorf was placed under the administration of the royal Saxon office of Rochlitz as part of the Schönburg feudal lordship of Wechselburg in 1835 . In 1856 Diethensdorf came to the Burgstädt court office and in 1875 to the newly established Rochlitz administration . The "Andreas School" in today's Rathausstrasse 6 was consecrated in 1860. In the years 1888/1889 the school building, which today houses the kindergarten, was built. In the second half of the 19th century, the Chemnitz Valley was opened up for traffic, from which Diethensdorf also benefited. On the railway line Wechselburg – Küchwald (Chemnitztalbahn) opened in 1902 , the place received a station called Schweizerthal – Diethensdorf .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Diethensdorf was initially part of the Rochlitz district on July 25, 1952 , but became the Chemnitz-Land district in the Chemnitz district on December 4, 1952 (1953 in the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land and district Karl-Marx-Stadt renamed). Since 1951 the Diethensdorf students went to school in Claussnitz from the 5th grade onwards. In 1971 the Diethensdorf secondary school was closed. In the former school in the village there is now a kindergarten.

Since 1990 Diethensdorf has belonged to the Saxon district of Chemnitz. On March 1, 1994, the communities Claussnitz, Diethensorf and Markersdorf merged to form Claußnitz. As a result of the Saxon district reform , the Claußnitz community and its districts became part of the newly formed Mittweida district in August 1994 and, following another district reform, to today's Central Saxony district in 2008 . With the cessation of passenger traffic on the Chemnitz Valley Railway in 1998, the Schweizerthal-Diethensdorf stop was taken out of service. After the section from the Markersdorf-Taura train station to the Schweizerthal-Diethensdorf stop with the Amselgrund and the two Chemnitz bridges was taken over by the “Eisenbahnfreunde Chemnitztal e. V. “is the end point of the Chemnitztal-Express . In addition to the route, the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path was built in 2019 .
