history

11th to 18th centuries

Gospersgrün was originally by Bavarian settlers in the 11th / 12th. Century laid out as a forest hoof village. Under the rule of Schönfels Castle , it was mentioned in a document in 1400 as Gezpreczgrune . This deed of donation proves that Margrave Wilhelm von Meißen donated the altar in the St. Barbra Chapel to Lichtentanne from interest from Lichtentanne , Schönfels and Gospersgrün .

Gospersgrün belonged to the Schönfels rule, which was initially under the rule of the bailiffs of Gera and Plauen . As a result of the lost Vogtland Wars (1354-1358), Gospersgrün came under the Wettin administration with the Schönfels reign in 1398 , until it became part of the Zwickau office in the 16th century . The so-called "Rote Hof" (because of the red earth lying there) or "Grenzhof" has been preserved in the lower village to this day. This property was a Vorwerk on the border to the Vogtland , which was under the Schönfels Castle. The basic rule over Gospersgrün was until the mid-19th century on a pro rata among the manors Alt-Schönfels , Neumark and Thanhof , sometimes also Ruppertsgrün . At that time, many local farmers lived in serfdom to the rule of Schönfels and had to do their labor in the period of feudalism . In 1555 Gospersgrün was pastured to Beiersdorf.

The development of Gospersgrün initially ran through the Plexgrund in the direction of Schönfels Castle and, after the Thirty Years' War, along the Neumarker Bach. Gospersgrün owned a total of 3 water mills that supplied the area with flour. These included a grinding and cutting mill that was in operation from 1610 to 1917, a grist mill that was in operation from 1679 to 1970, and a grinding and cutting mill that had been in operation since 1757 and was later equipped with an electric turbine received. The middle mill, the grist mill, a water mill with an overshot wheel was reconstructed and has been preserved as a monument to this day (see photo) . At the southern end of the village there was a brickworks that had been producing since 1838 until 1939. At the time of the railway and road construction in the 19th century , a few quarries were being operated in the village. For the most part, however, the inhabitants were farmers who made their living from agriculture , farming and cattle breeding.

19th century to the present

Until 1856, Gospersgrün belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau in the Erzgebirge district . In 1856 Gospersgrün was assigned to the Werdau court office and in 1875 it was incorporated into the Zwickau administration . The neighboring village of Römersgrün , which was built around 1780 , however, came to the Reichenbach court office in 1856 due to its previous affiliation to the Neumark manor and thus to the Plauen administration in 1875 . In 1920 Gospersgün and Römersgrün were assigned to the Werdau administration . On April 1, 1923, the Thanhof manor district was incorporated into Gospersgrün. The manor owner Paul Glaser had previously successfully fought against the incorporation of the Thanhof manor district to Lichtentanne, which was independent at the time, with the help of the Werdau administration. As a result of the dissolution of the Werdau administration, Gospersgrün and Römersgrün came to the Zwickau administration in 1933, which from 1939 was called the Zwickau district. Römersgrün was incorporated into Gospersgrün on October 1, 1937.

In April 1945 Gospersgrün was liberated by the US Army at the end of the Second World War , but had to be handed over to the Soviet occupation zone after the Potsdam Conference . The US Army then withdrew its forces from West Saxony to Bavaria . In September 1945 the land reform began in the Soviet occupation zone . In this context, the area of the Thanhof manor was distributed to new farmers and poor farmers. This was accompanied by the encirclement of the corridors of the Thanhof manor district to Lichtentanne on February 18, 1949.

The community of Gospersgrün belonged to the GDR since 1949 . In the 1950s the farmers formed an Agricultural Production Cooperative (LPG) and there were stables for dairy cattle and pig breeding . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR, the community of Gospersgrün became part of Werdau district in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). In 1970 there was a merger of the LPGs from Gospersgrün, Ruppertsgrün, Steinpleis and Leubnitz . After the reunification of Germany in 1990, Gospersgrün belonged to the Werdau district and was incorporated into Ruppertsgrün next to Beiersdorf on January 1, 1994 . The municipality of Ruppertsgrün and its districts belonged to the district of Zwickauer Land since August 1, 1994 . On January 1, 1998, the four localities Ruppertsgrün, Fraureuth, Gospersgrün and Beiersdorf formed a unified municipality and merged to form the large municipality of Fraureuth. This has belonged to the Zwickau district since 2008.

Today the place is an attraction for nature and hiking enthusiasts along the Neumarker and Schönfelser Bach, to the nearby Schönfels Castle. The Agrarhof Gospersgrün offers next to the local Kutscherstube a horse paradise for horse lovers . There is a diabase quarry as a geological monument .
