history

History of the districts before the formation of Eulatal

Elbisbach

Elbisbach was under the jurisdiction of the Wolftitz manor around 1551, and around 1696 the place belonged to the Hopfgarten manor. The Kaisershain desert lies in the corridor of Elbisbach . Until 1856, Elbisbach was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Borna. From 1856 the place belonged to the Borna court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration.

On January 1st, 1974 Elbisbach was incorporated into Prießnitz.

Flößberg

The district of Flößberg is first mentioned in a document as Flogelberch in 1206. The place was a manor and had a medieval moated castle, which was later converted into a manor. Flößberg, also called "Flügelsberg" in early times, was colonized by the burgraves of Altenburg . In the 13th century, the place was the seat of a branch line of the burgraves of Altenburg. The last representative of the line donated the place to the Teutonic Order of Altenburg in 1330 .

Flößberg later formed with Beucha and a share of Trebishain an exclave between the offices of Borna and Colditz , which until 1816 belonged to the Electoral Saxon or royal Saxon inheritance of Grimma and was then attached to the Borna office. From 1856 the place belonged to the Borna court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration .

During the Second World War , a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp was operated in the village from December 1944 to April 1945 , in which 1200 predominantly Jewish prisoners had to do forced labor in armaments production for Hugo Schneider AG ( HASAG ) .

The Borna-Ost opencast mine cut through the western area of ​​Flößberg between 1966 and 1972, cutting the F 176 (now the B 176) to Borna and relocating it to the north around the opencast mine. After the renaturation of the opencast mine, it now runs along the north-eastern edge of the Bockwitz lake .

Regarding the administration, both places belonged to the electoral and royal Saxon offices of Rochlitz and Borna. It was not until 1856 that all parts of the two towns were assigned to the Geithain court office and in 1875 to the Borna district administration .

In the west, the estate or village (new) Ottenhain (part of the Rochlitz and Colditz office) and the Altottenhain forest house (for the Borna office ) were created. The Mark Ottenhain settlement formed east of these places was considered a suburb of Geithain (in the Rochlitz office), into which it was incorporated in 1875.

Ottenhain and Altottenhain belonged to the Geithain court office in 1856 and to the Borna administration in 1875. In 1934 they were incorporated into Tautenhain, with whom they came to the Eulatal community in 1994.

Trebishain

The district of Trebishain , located at the confluence of the Kleine Eula and the Große Eula , was first mentioned as Tribenhagen in 1260 . The place was divided until 1816 in terms of its administrative affiliation. A share belonged with Flößberg and Beucha to an exclave of the Saxon inheritance office Grimma. The other part belonged to the Borna office, to which the Grimma part was attached in 1816. In 1856 Trebishain came to the Borna court office and in 1875 to the Borna district administration.
