Local history

The originally one-sided Waldhufendorf was built along the right bank of the Göltzsch and was first mentioned in 1399 as Di Grune .

Since the 16th century at the latest, Grün was parish after Plohn , which is still reminiscent of the street name Kirchsteig today . At the end of the 16th century, the village was subordinate to the lower manor Plohn . Early 17th century, the manor Green detectable, that henceforth the basic rule exercised. It was temporarily owned by the Edler von der Planitz family . In the course of the Napoleonic continental barrier , the Lengenfeld manufacturer Gottlob Friedrich Thomas built a cotton spinning mill in green in 1812 , which continued to exist after the continental barrier was lifted in 1814.

Until 1856, Grün belonged to the Electoral Saxon or later Royal Saxon Office of Plauen , to which the place was subordinate until 1856. In 1856 Grün was affiliated to the Lengenfeld court office and in 1875 to the Auerbach administration .

On April 1, 1935, Grün was incorporated into the city of Lengenfeld . The archives of the former municipality are located in the city archive. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Grün became part of the city of Lengenfeld in 1952 and became part of the Reichenbach district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Reichenbach from 1990 and was added to the Vogtland district in 1996.
