history

Friesen probably originated as a Slavic round settlement in the Middle Ages . Around 1426 a "Bernhart von Frisan" was mentioned in a document. The place name is derived from the Slavic word "brezina", which means "birch forest". The manor Friesen was probably built around 1200 about 200 meters north of the settlement. In 1433, which is the first documentary mention of Friesen, the Vorwerk Friesen was pledged to Reinhard von Schönfels . Three years later it went to Conrad Metzsch , the owner of the Mylau estate . His family owned the estate for around 500 years until it was expropriated in 1945. When the rule of Mylau was divided, the manor in Friesen became the seat of the partial rule, to which Reichenbach also belonged. Since then the noble gentlemen have sat in Frisians, the patrimonial jurisdiction , however, was housed in the town and court house on Reichenbacher Johannisplatz.

From 1577, the manor over the village with seven estates lay with the Reichenbach manor. In the 18th century, three quarters of the 200 hectare area belonged to the manor. Friesen came in the 16th century with the rule of Mylau to the Electoral Saxon or later royal Saxon office of Plauen , to which the place was subject until 1856. In 1856 Friesen was affiliated with the Reichenbach court office and in 1875 with the Plauen administration .

Due to the proximity to the city of Reichenbach, the number of inhabitants grew in the course of industrialization in the second half of the 19th century from 114 people in 1834 to 559 inhabitants in 1910. After the Second World War , the manor was demolished and the corridors in the course of the land reform divided into seven new farmer positions in 1945 . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Friesen became part of Reichenbach in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Reichenbach from 1990 and became part of the Vogtland district in 1996.

On March 1, 1994, Friesen was incorporated into the town of Reichenbach in Vogtland.
