history
There are no reliable findings about the initial settlement of Grünhain. It is certain that Gruninhain was first mentioned in a document in 1231/33. According to the monk Conrad Feiner, Abbot Dietrich is said to have awarded the town a city seal in 1285, which contained three green trees and a blackbird. In the first city deed of May 3, 1347 Grünhain is mimed as an oppidum (town). On the occasion of a witness interrogation of two elderly Grünhain residents, it was also testified that the freedoms of malting, brewing and selling beer, slaughtering, baking and selling bread as well as cobbling had existed for more than 80 years without hindrance, before they were passed around 1322 by the local judges - the Burgraves of Meißen and citizens of Lößnitz to please - had been restricted. It is recorded from March 16, 1356 that Frederick the Strict gave the “stetchin zcu Grunenhain” the freedom to brew, slaughter and to buy and sell goods according to Weichbild and city law .
Grünhain's immense importance for the Ore Mountains and beyond, especially in the three centuries before the Reformation , is due to the Grünhain monastery , which was built in the early 1230s. After the dissolution of the monastery, Grünhain became the seat of the Electoral Saxon Office of the same name , which in turn lasted for more than 300 years.
A town church, which was supplied by monks of the monastery until 1529, existed since the middle of the 13th century. A pastor was only appointed as part of the church visits during the Reformation. Grünhain was repeatedly destroyed by city fires, including in 1536, 1546, 1719 and 1807.
Once in place the lace as a cottage industry had been maintained, settled in the 17th century from the family Körting originating judge's son and learned Schneider Christoph Körting (* 1650) in Grünhain and founded a high-end commercial, which was continued by his sons and national markets he concluded.
At the end of the 19th century, a convalescent home for the Chemnitz Local Health Insurance Fund was built in Grünhain.
With the opening of the stop of the same name on May 1, 1900, Grünhain was connected to the Zwönitz – Scheibenberg railway line . On August 21, 1947, traffic in the Zwönitz Elterlein section was finally stopped, and the tracks were then dismantled as a reparation payment for the Soviet Union .
After the city in the course of the 1990s increasing debt burdens had seen exposed, they were with their 2,579 inhabitants (31 December 2004) January 1, 2005 their independence and the neighboring community was Beierfeld in the "town of Grünhain-Beierfeld “Incorporated.
St. Nicolai Church
The St. Nicolai Church is a classical hall church and was built from 1808 to 1812 as a typical Saxon preaching church. Therefore the pulpit is placed above the altar. The church was very bright after the restoration in the 2000s and has a flat plastered ceiling. The two galleries are supported by pillars. They are led around the entire interior, including behind the altar area. There the galleries are designed as glazed prayer rooms. The pulpit altar with two columns as a border dates from 1812. The altarpiece is small, it shows a representation of the Lord's Supper. Baptism is also classical. A portrait and a memorial plaque from 1897 in the altar area remind of the baroque composer and Thomaskantor Johann Hermann Schein , who was born in Grünhain. The organ gallery in the west of the church shows a slight curve into the church interior. Christian Gottlob Steinmüller's organ dates from 1812 and was rebuilt in 1912/1913 by the Zittau organ building company A. Schuster & Sohn .

monastery
Only the outer quarry stone wall, a free-standing gate building that looks like a tower, the outer walls of a barn and the buried foundation walls of the monastery church have been preserved from the former Cistercian monastery of St. Maria and St. Nicholas. In 1235 monks moved from the Sittichenbach monastery in the county of Mansfeld to the newly founded monastery in Grünhain. Extensive land ownership, cooperation with the Sittichenbach monastery - for example at the monastery courtyard in Zwickau - and economic activities quickly made the Grünhain monastery "one of the most important and richest monasteries in the Ore Mountains" . The monastery was during the Reformation in 1532 canceled .
