Little is known about the early history of the place. The first documentary mention was in 1460. It bears witness to a divided settlement, because the places Stetel and Grun are mentioned. Stetel ("little town") was endowed with some privileges that actually only existed in cities. A fair, brewing and licensing rights as well as a meat bank were decisive for the name of the village. "Grun" ("The Green") was the name given to those houses that had been built in the course of time towards the neighboring village of Pöhla . The two districts will have merged into one municipality as early as the 16th century. The Turkish tax register from 1542 only mentions the place Stettel and most likely already means both places. In the course of the century, the terms Dorfstädtel and Grünstädtel alternate with no difference in meaning, the former being the difference to its large neighbor, the town of Schwarzenberg , but the latter being able to prevail.

During the GDR era there was the “Philipp Müller” children's holiday camp in Grünstädtel run by the publicly owned company Bauunion Leipzig.

Until the second half of the 19th century, the population of Grünstädtel only rose very slowly. A significant leap can be seen in the period between the 1870s and 1920s, when the population doubled in half a century. In the further course, the number of residents rose sharply again and reached its peak in the 1950s. This was followed by a population decline until around 1990. Since then, the number of inhabitants has increased again slightly, which is unusual for the region, and is currently around 900. On October 1, 1995, Grünstädtel was incorporated into Schwarzenberg.

church

In Catholic times, Stettel and Grün belonged to the Schwarzenberg parish, the former being documented as a branch church in 1460, which the residents of Grün will also have visited when going to church. In 1546 Grünstädtel was an independent church in the Breitenbrunn / Erzgeb area. (since 1559 own parish), Crandorf (since 1711/12 own parish) and Pöhla (since 1929 own parish) were parish. The origins of the church building could be in the St. Anne's Chapel, which was a stopover for a pilgrimage starting in Annaberg in Catholic times . On the site of the old Grünstadt church, about which nothing more is known, a new one was built in 1723 and 1724 and can still be seen today.

Atonement Cross

On the Gottfried-Heinrich-Stölzel-Platz below the church there is an atonement cross on a small green area , on the front side of which the remains of an incised sword can be seen. The 82 cm high granulite cross was moved here in 1993 from its previous position on today's B 101 to protect it from destruction. Why the atonement cross was erected is not documented. According to various traditions, two men, perhaps soldiers, got into an argument and one killed the other.
