Garnsdorf was first mentioned in 1285 as "Garmannsdorf". The place was divided in terms of administration until the 19th century. The upper part of the village was under the lordship of the Lichtenwalde manor in the Electoral Saxon Office Lichtenwalde , which was administered from 1696 by the Electoral Saxon Office Frankenberg-Sachsenburg and from 1783 by the Electoral Saxon Office Augustusburg . Like the lower part of Auerswalde, the lower part of Garnsdorf belonged to the manor of the Auerswalde manor, which belonged as an exclave to the Saxon office of Rochlitz . From 1832 Garnsdorf was part of the Lichtenwalde manor and belonged entirely to the royal Saxon office of Augustusburg. After the end of the Saxon constitution of offices in 1856, Garnsdorf was under the jurisdiction of the Frankenberg court office . From 1875 Garnsdorf belonged to the Flöha office and from 1933 to the Chemnitz office . In 1832 the first school building in the village was built, the next one was built in 1872. The Garnsdorf cemetery received a mortuary hall in 1873, which was replaced by a new building in 1953. Seven years later, in 1880, the Chemnitztalstrasse was opened. The municipality of Garnsdorf received a new town hall in 1921. Four years later, the “Am Berggut” settlement was built in Garnsdorf. Garnsdorf has had an outdoor swimming pool since 1928 and the volunteer fire brigade since 1940 . Between April 15 and April 26, 1945 Garnsdorf was briefly occupied by American troops until April 7/8. May 1945 Soviet troops took over the administration.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Garnsdorf became part of the Chemnitz-Land district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land district and the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). From then on, the border with the Hainichen district ran east of Garnsdorf , to which the neighboring town of Ottendorf had been added during the 1952 district reform. In 1954 Unter-Garnsdorf, like its neighboring towns of Auerswalde and Krumbach, was hit by a severe flood.

In 1990 the municipality of Garnsdorf came to the Saxon district of Chemnitz . In 1992 Auerswalde and Garnsdorf formed an administrative community , on January 1, 1994 the municipality of Auerswalde was created. When the district of Chemnitz was dissolved, the municipality of Auerswalde and Garnsdorf became part of the Mittweida district in 1994 , which was added to the central Saxony district in 2008. In the course of the municipal reform in Saxony in 1999, the municipalities of Auerswalde, Lichtenau and Ottendorf were merged into a new municipality, the name of which was only determined by a referendum on May 28, 2000 as "Lichtenau"; 51% of those entitled to vote decided on this. The flood of the century in 2002 also had devastating effects in the Garnsdorf district. The renovated Garnsdorf summer pool opened in 1994.

traffic

Garnsdorf is touched on the western edge by the federal highway 107 running in the Chemnitz valley . On the opposite bank of the Chemnitz, the Wechselburg – Küchwald (Chemnitz Valley Railway ) line ran between 1902 and 2002 , on whose route the Chemnitz Valley Cycle Path was created. The Auerswalde-Köthensdorf train station was located near Gransdorf.
