history

The forest settlement Friebus northeast of Wohlhausen was mentioned around 1600 as "Fripiser". She is thus a good 200 years younger than Wohlhausen. The low land ownership of the place indicates that Friebus was built on the corridor of the Wohlhausen manor, to whose manor the place also belonged and which is also the founder of the place.

The exact date of foundation has not been proven with certainty. The landlords Hans Georg Carl and Georg Wilhelm are possible founders of the place. The settlers of Friebus were almost certainly exiles from Bohemia , who were persecuted for their Protestant beliefs because of the Counter-Reformation that took place there, especially after 1652, and who therefore settled just beyond the border of the Electorate of Saxony . The Gutsarchiv von Wohlhausen has recorded numerous newly appearing names, whose Bohemian origin has been proven, since 1661.

The small Bohemian town of Frühbuss , located close to the Saxon border east of Graslitz in the Rothau valley, is a direct witness of this new settlement . In the course of the Counter Reformation in Bohemia, on July 31, 1627, an imperial Reformation patent was issued, which required the nobility to either become Catholic or leave the country within six months. Thus, early penance came to Baron Otto von Nostitz in 1628 and, after his death in 1631, to his nephew, Count Hans Hartwig von Nostitz-Rieneck (1610–1683). Since 1652, as a strict Catholic, he shaped the re-Catholicization of Bohemia for almost 30 years as Chancellor Colonel . Especially in his rule, he pushed the Counter Reformation. In Früßbuss and the neighboring Sauersack , the inhabitants had resisted the Counter-Reformation for the longest time, so that between 1679 and 1684 the future Archbishop of Prague Daniel Joseph Ignatz Mayer had to work as a Catholic missionary. Nevertheless, a large part of the population left Bohemia and settled in neighboring Electoral Saxony in order to be able to continue with the Protestant creed. This is how the Saxon settlement of Friebus, located 20 kilometers west of the Bohemian town of Frühbuss, came into being. The place name is derived from the Czech word "převoz", which means "mountain pass".

As part of the estate of Wohlhausen, Friebus belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Voigtsberg until 1856 and to the Markneukirchen court office after 1856 . At that time, however, the settlement belonged to the Gopplasgrün to the east with regard to the municipality . Around 1875, however, Friebus belonged to Wohlhausen in the Oelsnitz administration . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Friebus came to the district of Klingenthal in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ) as part of Wohlhausen in 1952 , which was continued as the Saxon district of Klingenthal in 1990 and became part of the Vogtland district in 1996.

With the incorporation of the community of Wohlhausen into the town of Markneukirchen, Friebus became a part of the community of Markneukirchen on January 1, 1994.
