- the formerly independent community of Erbisdorf in the south with the community parts Mönchenfrei , Niederfrei and Zugspitze (area: 10.54 km²)

history
The first mention of the village Erbisdorf as Erlwinesberc dates from the year 1209. It can be assumed that the village emerged in the course of clearing and settlement in the middle of the 12th century. The name after the personal name Erlwin probably comes from the Harz mining area.
In the first half of the 13th century silver mining began in Erbisdorf , which is part of the Freiberg mining area as a Brander mine field . A scattered mining settlement was built on the neighboring mountain Brand , which Duke George the Bearded elevated to a mountain spot in 1515. Brand received market rights in 1620 and town rights in 1834 . Until 1856, Brand and Erbisdorf were part of the Freiberg district office in Electoral Saxony or in the royal Saxon district . In 1856 the town of Brand became the seat of the Brand Judicial Office , to which Erbisdorf also belonged. From 1875, both places were under the Freiberg administration . With the opening of the Berthelsdorf – Großhartmannsdorf and Brand – Langenau railway lines in 1890, both places received a rail connection.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the long tradition of silver mining around Brand ended, where a quarter of Saxony's total silver was extracted. Mining was only revived to a lesser extent after 1945, but it was finally shut down around 1968. After 1900, instead of mining, industrial companies were increasingly established, of which the Erzgebirge wood industry and the elite factories were the best known.
On April 1, 1912, Brand and Erbisdorf were forced to unite, as the councils were unable to come to an agreement on a voluntary merger after years of negotiations. The main reason for this was the economic development, because the city corridors of Brand, which practically only comprised the urban development, were bordered by Erbisdorf in the south and east.
In 1952 Brand-Erbisdorf became the district town of the Brand-Erbisdorf district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). This status was lost in 1994 when the now Saxon district of Brand-Erbisdorf was dissolved and assigned to the district of Freiberg . Since then the city has been a major district town . It has about 10,000 inhabitants. On October 1, 1993, St. Michaelis was incorporated with its districts Himmelsfürst and Linda. The community of Langenau with its districts Gränitz and Oberreichenbach was incorporated on April 1, 2002. Brand-Erbisdorf has been part of the Central Saxony district since 2008.
