history

Grünlichtenberg emerged in the 19th century from the two immediately neighboring settlements Grünberg and Lichtenberg. Grünberg was first mentioned in 1324, Lichtenberg in 1396. In the 16th century, Grünberg and part of Lichtenberg were under the jurisdiction of the Kriebstein Manor . After they were integrated into the electoral office of Rochlitz in 1588 with the rule of Kriebstein , Grünberg was subordinate to the jurisdiction of the Ehrenberg manor , while the Rochlitz part of the office of Lichtenberg was Amtsdorf . The other part of Lichtenberg was subordinate to the Altzella monastery , from whose property the Electoral Saxon Office Nossen was formed after the secularization in 1540 . In Lichtenberg there was a Vorwerk that was given the status of a manor in 1858.

From 1856, the now unified town of Grünlichtenberg belonged to the Waldheim court office and from 1875 to the Döbeln district administration . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Grünlichtenberg came to the Hainichen district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen from 1990 and was added to the Mittweida district in 1994 . On March 1, 1994, Höckendorf was incorporated. On January 1, 1999, Grünlichtenberg and its district Höckendorf were incorporated into the Kriebstein community.

Ev.-Luth. St. Nicholas Church

General

The village church of Grünlichtenberg is a simple building with an east tower. The church was consecrated in its current form on January 6, 1864. The lower part of the church tower is still Romanesque . From 1708 to 1711 a mighty baroque roof turret was placed on this old tower . This tower, unique in its construction, is 47 meters high. In 1995 the last new covering of the tower roof was made in copper. In 2014 the 150th anniversary of this now almost completely restored church was celebrated.

Until the middle of the 20th century there were four inns and taverns in Grünlichtenberg. The first inn in Grünlichtenberg was not in the town center, but about 2 kilometers outside, halfway to Höckendorf. A second inn stood or stands near the church. In the so-called upper village there was "Herrmanns Restauration", later known as "Näthers Gaststätte", and in the lower village near the forge "Clara Ulbricht's beer bar".

Parks

There were two parks in Grünlichtenberg until 1945. Both were only partially accessible to the public. The first and older park belonged to the Lichtenberg manor. In this, south of the manor house, stood an unusually stately robinia with a trunk circumference of 4 meters. In 1945 the park was cut down. The second park was created in 1914 by Woldemar Schneider. His homestead, built in 1826, could already be reached via the so-called Lindenallee. Today the access road to the park is also called Lindenallee . The park festival, organized by the Heimatverein Grünlichtenberg eV, is celebrated in this park every year.

Volunteer firefighter

The volunteer fire brigade was founded on September 17, 1924 by 55 Grünlichtenbergers. Before that there was a compulsory fire brigade in the village . Today the fire brigade belongs to the volunteer fire brigade of the Kriebstein community.
