history

Greifendorf Church

Greifendorf was first mentioned in 1267 with a "Cristanus de Grifendorph". The Waldhufendorf was originally owned by the knight Ulrich von Maltitz , who, however , had to sell the place to the Altzella monastery due to financial difficulties . After the secularization and dissolution of the Altzella monastery, Greifendorf belonged to the newly formed Electoral Saxon Office of Nossen as an official village from 1540 . In the middle of the 19th century, the neo-Gothic church with 800 seats was consecrated in 1860 instead of the medieval church .

Greifendorf belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Nossen until 1856 . The offices were dissolved during the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony in the 19th century . As a result, Greifendorf came under the administration of the Roßwein court office in 1856 and to the newly established Döbeln administrative authority in 1875 .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Greifendorf was incorporated into the Hainichen district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon Hainichen district from 1990 and was allocated to the newly formed Mittweida district in 1994 . On March 1, 1994 Greifendorf was incorporated into the community of Rossau. Since 2008, the community of Rossau and its districts have been part of the newly formed district of central Saxony.
