Ehrenhain is a district of the East Thuringian municipality of Nobitz in the Altenburger Land on federal highway 180 . The formerly independent municipality Ehrenhain with its districts Dippelsdorf , Nirkendorf and Oberarnsdorf was incorporated into Nobitz in 1994 as part of the municipal reform.

geography

Ehrenhain is located in the agricultural landscape of Altenburg-Zeitzer Loesshügelland as an extension of the Leipzig lowland bay and the foothills of the Ore Mountains. The Spannerbach water flows through the town. Neighboring towns are Dippelsdorf, Klausa and Garbus beginning in the northwest and Nirkendorf as districts of Nobitz in the east, Niederarnsdorf as district of Ziegelheim in the southeast, Oberarnsdorf and Großmecka as districts of Nobitz in the south and the two Altenburg districts of Mockzig and Zschaiga in the west .

The former town of Heiersdorf , which merged with the main town and was incorporated into the municipality in 1923, the adjacent industrial area Am Thomelt-Grund and the adjoining Thomas-Müntzer settlement , in which the former Schellzehne restaurant is located, belongs to Ehrenhain .

history

The place is most likely a German peripheral settlement in what was then the densely wooded Pleißenland, whereas the Altenburger Land is now the least forested district in Thuringia and has a strong agricultural character. In 1279, Siegfried von Hagen was the first documentary mention of the medieval moated castle . The place name is called Fuchshayn in 1374 and renamed to Ehrenhain in 1708. In 1525 the local castle apparently belonged to the gentlemen von Ende , because the tortured and mutilated sexton Georg Droßdorf, expelled from Ponitz , asked the Saxon elector Johann the Constant for his help to get a job here with the gentlemen von Ende: “Please E. Kfl. G. to give me guidance and protection and to talk to the dinst from the end to the Fuchshayn or to Kybaw [Gieba bei Altenburg] ... ". The moated castle became one of the largest manors in the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg with many lands, at least that's what a document from 1886 says.

Ehrenhain belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century onwards due to several divisions during 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, it belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg 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 Altenburg .

In the 20th century the following places were incorporated into Ehrenhain: Heiersdorf (1923), Nirkendorf and Zschaiga (July 1, 1950, reclassification from Zschaiga to Mockzig on January 1, 1963), Oberarnsdorf (August 1, 1963) and Dippelsdorf (January 1 1973).

During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus, the community came Ehrenhain with the district Altenburg at the Leipzig district , since 1990 as a county belonged to Altenburg Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. On March 8, 1994, Ehrenhain and its districts were incorporated into the municipality of Nobitz. Since then, Oberarnsdorf, Dippelsdorf and Nirkendorf have been independent districts of Nobitz, only Heiersdorf belongs to the Ehrenhain district.

After the insolvency of the traditional Ehrenhain company, which had existed since 1923, the Gößnitzer Stahlrohrmöbel GmbH settled on part of the plant .

Between 1901 and 1995 the place had a breakpoint on the Altenburg – Langenleuba – Oberhain railway line .
