history
Fraureuth was probably founded by the bailiffs of Weida between 1200 and 1250. Families from the Duchy of Franconia were among the first settlers. They gave the place the name " Frawenrud " in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and in relation to the clearing of the forest for reclamation for the land of their settlement . The municipality's coat of arms still shows Saint Mary with the child in her arms and the scepter in her hand. Fraureuth was first mentioned in a document in 1349/50 as Frowenrut . Fraureuth was a pure farming village. Around 1570 the village was separated from the Beiersdorf church and in 1572 the first pastor moved into the local parish. When the Fraureuth Church became independent, its own school was also founded. The school children no longer had to go to school in Beiersdorf .
During the Thirty Years' War , the inhabitants suffered greatly: the place was plundered twice by passing imperial troops. In 1652 the Fraureuther received the hunting rights from Count Heinrich V. Fraureuth had the right to hold markets five times a year until 1750 . This was equivalent to the royal seat of Greiz . At that time, many cities were jealous of Fraureuth's market rights .
In 1733 the old church was replaced by a new one, and in 1739 the Fraureuther decided to install a new organ. They engaged the most important representative of organ building in Central Germany at that time, Gottfried Silbermann . The organ is one of the few organs that the master built outside of what was then Saxony. It was erected in 1742 and is one of the best preserved of the surviving works from the hand of the great master.
In 1818 the local craftsmen united to form a guild to which 28 master craftsmen belonged; In 1843 there were already 78 masters . In 1896 a Catholic association was founded in Fraureuth . This was given the name Liebfrauen based on the history of the place's origins and in relation to the Madonna in the coat of arms as patron saint . Later, the Liebfrauenkapelle, which is still in town today, was built for this purpose .
In 1899 a memorial was donated to the Fraureuther citizen Andreas Hupfer on the 100th anniversary of his death (see photo). In his will, he had stipulated that after his death he would donate 5,200 thalers to a legacy of the poor, a sick and orphan pen as well as an arson and church pen for the Fraureuth community. Many people in need could be helped through this foundation.
At the beginning of the 19th century, industrialization also moved into Fraureuth . At that time, yarn spinning and weaving enjoyed the greatest economic boom. The Beck family founded a wool combing and yarn spinning mill that provided work for around 400 people as early as 1840. A grandson of Georg Beck, Bruno Födisch, was supposed to get into the grandfather's business, but didn't like the idea and made the decision to found a porcelain factory. Together with a cousin, Arved of Romans from Steinpleis , he founded the 1865-1866 porcelain factory Fraureuth that the well-known until 1926 Fraureuther porcelain produced.
Until 1918 Fraureuth belonged to the Principality of Reuss older line . From 1943, the metal processing industry developed in Fraureuth. There are roller bearings , grinding spindles, tools , parts of microelectronics and medical manufactured. With the development of the roller bearing industry (cf. spindle and bearing technology Fraureuth ), handball - top-class sport that was nationalized during the GDR in the 1970s - established itself in Fraureuth .
Until 1952 Fraureuth part of the country Thuringia , Greiz , after that it was within the circle reforms in the GDR to the district Karl-Marx-Stadt , the district Werdau assigned. In 1990, after the reunification of Germany , Fraureuth was finally assigned to the Free State of Saxony after a referendum . In 1998 Ruppertsgrün merged with Fraureuth to form the large community of Fraureuth. The spatial and developed infrastructure of the large community of Fraureuth offers the best conditions for a positive development in the future.
