history

The village was first mentioned on September 24, 1140. It is assumed that the district is the oldest settlement in the surrounding area. In 1583 120 people lived in the village. Ten farmers cultivated the area of ​​344 hectares. In 1885, 18 apartments were available to the citizens and eight farmers cultivated the arable land.

Drosen belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Drosen belonged to the Eastern District (until 1900) and to the Ronneburg District Office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Gera .

On April 1, 1937, Ingramsdorf was incorporated into Drosen, which in turn has belonged to Löbichau since August 3, 1961. During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Drosen came with the county Schmölln to the district of Leipzig , since 1990 as a county belonged to Schmölln Thuringia and the Thuringian district reform in 1994 opened Altenburger in the district of the country.

In 1955 the farmers founded an LPG . Immediately to the south, the place borders on the former mine of the Wismut AG Schacht Drosen . Since 1974, uranium ore has been mined in several shafts in the "Drosen deposit" by the SDAG Wismut . The headframe of Shaft 403 south of Ingramsdorf, which was sunk in June 1976, is a witness to this . After the shutdown of uranium mining in 1991, the area was redeveloped. The Drosen heap disappeared when the material was transferred to the Beerwalde heap.

traffic

Drosen is located on the disused Beerwalde – Drosen railway line , which has since been completely demolished. The "Drosen freight station" at the "Drosen ore loading point" south of the town was the end point of the railway line between 1984 and 1994 and was responsible for transporting the uranium ore. Up to 1991 shiftworker trains of the Wismut-Werkbahn also ran here from Gera main station via Beerwalde to the Drosen freight station.
