history

After Count Otto Carl Friedrich von Schönburg-Waldenburg took over the affairs of state in 1779, he and his wife Henriette Eleonore Elisabeth Countess Reuss von Plauen set up a summer residence with an English garden at the gates of Waldenburg , which he called "Greenfield" (today: Grünstelder Park ) called. The inspiration for this was on his Grand Tour , which had also taken him to England and on which he had seen some gardens. The park was created from 1780 to 1797 in the corridors of the old town Waldenburg and Oberwinkel on an area of ​​113 hectares. In 1780, pasture land in the floodplain of the Zwickauer Mulde, of Wald am Callenberger Berg and the purchase of the manor of the citizen Michael Gumprecht from old town Waldenburg on today's Grünstelder Strasse took place.

With the landscaping of the estate, the “castle” or “little castle” emerged, which was remodeled in the neo-Gothic style and supplemented with “merrymaking” such as carousel, bird house, silk bunny house, pavilion and parasol. Together with the neo-Gothic ornamented economic buildings, the castle formed a closed ensemble of the summer court. According to the landscape plan from 1813, the park had 53 buildings, memorial stones and other staffage structures , of which only a few have survived. In 1841/42 the now dilapidated castle and its surrounding “merrymaking” were demolished under Otto Carl Friedrich's son, Prince Otto Victor I (1785-1859). Only a part of the farm buildings remained. It was integrated into the complex of the tea house built between 1844 and 1846 on the site of the former court kitchen. A calico factory was built in the outdoor park . Until the end of the 19th century, the Grünfeld, Schlosspark and Lustgarten park areas were only separated by the course of the Zwickauer Mulde. It was not until the Muldentalbahn was built in 1875 and the road layout was changed that the 120 hectare area was cut up.

Due to the layout of the Grünstelder Park in the corridors of the old town Waldenburg and Oberwinkel, there was a split administrative affiliation over the park until the 19th century. The lying in the corridor of the old town Waldenburg part of the habitable buildings belonged to the 19th century to the beautiful burg rule Waldenburg , while belonging to Oberwinkel part of the beautiful burg rule Remse shelter, but as a fiefdom under wettinischer was sovereignty. In 1875 there were 31 people living in Grünfeld.

After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, the old town Waldenburg and the inhabited part of Grünfeld came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 .

On July 1, 1928 the old town Waldenburg was incorporated with Grünfeld to Waldenburg. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Altstadt Waldenburg and Grünfeld became part of the city of Waldenburg in 1952 to the Glauchau district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Glauchau from 1990 and 1994 in Chemnitzer Land and 2008 in Zwickau.
