history

Church from the south

Gieba was founded as a Slavic clearing settlement and is still a reminder today. The place was first mentioned in documents around 1200 as Chiowe, around 50 years later as Kyowe or Kybwa. The place name comes from the old Sorbian Kyi, which means something like stick. Records from 1445 testify that the place then consisted of 12 farms. In 1525 "Kybaw" apparently belonged to the gentlemen von Ende , because the tortured and mutilated sexton Georg Droßdorf, who had been expelled from Ponitz , asked the Saxon Elector Johann the Constant for his help, here or in Fuchshayn (with the gentlemen from Ende) received: “I ask E. Kfl. G. to give me guidance and protection and to marry me from the end umb den dinst to Fuchshayn or to Kybaw [Gieba near Altenburg] ... “Gieba belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which from the 16th century onwards due to several divisions In the course of its existence it was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies : 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, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, it belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg . In 1837 127 people lived in the place, about 100 years later, in 1939 there were 134, 12 less than six years earlier.

On July 1, 1950, Gieba was incorporated into Podelwitz . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Gieba came as a district of the municipality Podelwitz with the district Schmölln to the district Leipzig , which since 1990 belonged as district Schmölln to Thuringia and 1994 in the district Altenburger Land. The village pond was used as a landfill in GDR times and so it was recultivated by the Schmöllner Verein naterger eV Also in GDR times, an LPG with young cattle facility was founded, which still exists today. When the municipality Podelwitz became part of the unified municipality of Saara , Gieba became a part of this municipality on January 1, 1996, until it came to Nobitz on December 31, 2012.

Culture and sights

Gieba owns a medium-sized baroque church from 1729, which comes from the builder Küntzel from Taltitz / Vogtland. It houses grave monuments from the years after 1585 for the von Rußwurm family. As a special feature, there is a side tower to the south of the nave. The church has three bells from 1463 and 1718, which were renewed in 1995.

There is a legend about the history of the church bell, according to which the bell itself mystically disappeared during the looting of the Hussites in 1430 and was only found again by a pig.

The place is also known far beyond the district boundaries because of the oldest preserved post structure in the Altenburger Land district. It was built in 1564 and 1565 and verified by a dendrochronological building age study. The compartment of the building is 2.80 meters wide and consists of continuous posts from the threshold to the roof beam, and the headbands resemble a tree of life.
