history
Two Bronze Age grave fields near Frauwalde bear witness to the early settlement of the area.
Falkenhain was mentioned in a document in 1198 on the occasion of the consecration of the church in Sitzenroda . The place name was derived either from the Sorbian idol name Valko or from the German locator Falko. For a long time the place was considered the ancestral seat of the Falkenhayn family , a "Conrad von Falkenhain" was mentioned in 1231, "Henningus de Valkinhain" in 1284. The von Kühnitzsch family was enfeoffed before 1424, soon followed by the Truchsess von Wellerswalde and Bornitz 1557 Georg von Koseritz , from 1605 to 1785 the Lüttichau and then until 1945 the Carlowitz .
In the neighboring Heyda there was originally a Vorwerk, from 1551 its own manor. The owners were successively the von Schleinitz families , from around 1650 the Leipziger , then the von Lüttichau, von Hartitzsch and von Carlowitz families . From 1698, including parts of the previous building from 1576, an elongated baroque palace was built, the side facade was extended in 1806, as well as a spacious courtyard with two gentlemen's houses flanking the entrance. After 1990 the estate was bought back by the von Carlowitz family and the castle was renovated.
Frauwalde was incorporated into the municipality of Falkenhain on July 1st and Heyda on December 1st, 1972. On April 1, 1997, Dornreichenbach and Kühnitzsch were incorporated. On January 1, 1999, Thammenhain and Meltewitz were added.
The quarrying of rocks in the vicinity of Dornreichenbach (so-called Dornreichenbacher Quarzporphyry) is very old and is still practiced in large quantities today. The region's quarries have been of great importance for the paving and graveling of Saxon roads since the 19th century. Bricks and simple stone carving objects were also made.
On January 1, 2012, the previously independent, administrative community- free municipality of Falkenhain was incorporated into the municipality of Lossatal.
coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by green and silver; Two silver hammers crossed diagonally above, covered by a silver chisel and two golden ears of wheat on leafy stalks; below a red hip horn with gold fittings on a black ribbon. "
The coat of arms of Falkenhain (Lossatal) is the first crest of a non-independent hamlet in Saxony, which under the Registry 3 SN on January 3, 2012 in the German town Wappenrolle of HEROLD was registered and documented. It was donated by the Falkenhain local council to use it as a symbol of local and local identity outside of official acts. The design was done by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch , who carried out the certification.
Hammers and chisels stand for stone quarrying, the ears of wheat for agriculture as an essential economic basis of the past, while the Hifthorn is borrowed from the coat of arms of the Falkenhain family.
The shield, divided by green and silver, uses the color green to refer to the natural surroundings of Falkenhain, which borders the Dahlener Heide.
