history

Frankenau Church

Frankenau, forester's house

In 1350 the Waldhufendorf was first mentioned in a document as Franckinowe or Frankenow . The place name means the settlement in the meadow inhabited by Franconians .
The place name indicates the origin of the farmers who made the land arable about 200 years earlier.

Up until the middle of the 19th century, Frankenau belonged to the Neusorge manor with higher courts and hereditary courts, including the little church . Around 1548, Frankenau was still part of the reign of Neusorge in the Electoral Office of Rochlitz . After the reign of Neusorge was annexed to the Augustusburg office in 1610 , Frankenau and its neighboring town of Ober-Thalheim belonged to this as exclaves . From 1832 they came to the Office of Frankenberg-Sachsenburg . Around 1850 sand and gravel, kaolin clay, clay and young brown coal were mined in Frankenau. After 1850 a clay factory was built. As a result, Frankenau lost its village character.

The offices were dissolved during the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony in the 19th century . Frankenau and Ober-Thalheim came under the administration of the Mittweida court office in 1856 . In 1875 Frankenau was placed under the administration of the Rochlitz District Authority. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the community of Frankenau came to the Rochlitz district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). On January 1, 1974, Thalheim was incorporated . In 1990 the community of Frankenau became part of the Saxon district of Rochlitz , which was added to the Mittweida district in 1994 .

With the incorporation of Frankenau into the town of Mittweida, Frankenau and Thalheim have been districts of Mittweida since January 1, 1996. Since then they have had a joint local council. Since 2008, the city of Mittweida and its districts have been part of the newly formed Central Saxony district.

The first school in Frankenau was built as a church school in 1844. After the extension was built in 1884, the side wing was built in 1896. At that time students from Frankenau and Ober-Thalheim were taught . In 1930 the educational institution became an elementary school, in 1959 a polytechnic high school . The tenth grade was established in 1969. In 1979 the school was named " Otto Auerswald ". In it, students from Frankenau, Thalheim, Topfseifersdorf , Zschoppelshain and Winkeln learned . After 1990 the school continued as a secondary school. In 1992 it was converted into a primary school. In the 2003/2004 school year, it was closed due to a lack of pupils and demolished in early 2013. At the former location, an information board reminds of their history. Since then, the primary school students have attended the primary school in Altmittweida . There is only one kindergarten in the village.
