history

The forest hoof village Götzenthal north of Meerane was mentioned in 1525 as "located in Götzenthall zu Mheraw". Götzenthal, like the village of Waldsachsen, which is also part of Meerane today, was divided into a Saxon-Altenburg or Thuringian (Untergötzenthal) and a Saxon part (Obergötzenthal) until 1928 .

Untergötzenthal

Untergötzenthal, entrance from the direction of Hainichen

Untergötzenthal belonged as a fiefdom of the Schönburger to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which from the 16th century was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine Duchies were reorganized in 1826, Untergötzenthal again became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. The manorial rule over Untergötzenthal lay with the Hainichen manor until the 19th century .

After the administrative reform in the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg, Untergötzenthal belonged to the Eastern District (until 1900) and to the Ronneburg District Office (from 1900). At that time Untergötzenthal had 258 inhabitants. From 1918 the place belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which in 1920 became part of the State of Thuringia . In 1922 he came to the Altenburg district . At that time, Untergötzenthal was part of the town of Gößnitz .

(Upper) Götzenthal

Up until the second half of the 19th century, Obergötzenthal belonged to the Schönburg dominions . It was administered as an official village by the Schönburg rule Glauchau , Amt Hinterglauchau .

After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Obergötzenthal came to the newly established Glauchau administration in 1880 . At that time only called Götzenthal had 48 inhabitants. (Upper) Götzenthal had belonged to the Free State of Saxony since 1918.

History of Götzenthal since 1928

In 1928 there was an exchange of territory and a border adjustment between the Free State of Saxony and the State of Thuringia. As a result, the district of Untergötzenthal, which had previously belonged to the Thuringian town of Gößnitz, was completely ceded to Saxony and incorporated into the Saxon town of Meerane on April 1, 1928.

(Ober-) Götzenthal, however, was not incorporated into Meerane until July 1, 1939. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Götzenthal came to the Glauchau district in the Chemnitz district as a district of the city of Meerane in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon Glauchau district from 1990 and in the Chemnitzer Land district in 1994 or 2008 in the district of Zwickau. On March 1, 2011 Götzenthal, which is usually mentioned together with the neighboring town of Crotenlaide , was deleted as part of the municipality of Meerane.
