Ellefeld in 1915

Ellefeld was first mentioned in a document in 1459 . Workers from the Eger and Saale valleys were active on Heinrich Reuss von Plauen's lands . The property later went to the Barons von Trützschler . The manor was built in 1469. Before that there was already a hammer mill and the nearby ore mining. The Upper Castle dates from 1710; the lower castle was built in 1734. Industrialization began in the 17th and 18th centuries . Ellefeld developed from a farming village to a weaving village, and embroidery was also added. The community previously belonged to the Auerbach district and has been with the Vogtlandkreis since 1996. The district was created by amalgamating the districts of Auerbach, Klingenthal , Oelsnitz , Reichenbach and Plauen-Land . In 2009 Ellefeld celebrated the 550th anniversary of the community.
