Local history
The first written mention of the place dates from 1251 as Greden . In 1351 Landgrave Friedrich der Strict gave the Grimma citizen Jutta von Geithain half of the village of Grethen, including all accessories. The two so-called church ponds were laid out in 1401-04 and 1418. In 1545 Grethen, including the ponds and other villages and goods, was sold by the Saxon Elector to Hans von Ponickau on Pomßen, where it remained until the patrimonial jurisdiction was abolished in 1856.
In 1816 August Schumann mentions Grethen in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning a. a .:
“[...] located on Poststrasse to Leipzig. It has a branch church of Großpardau, 166 inhabitants, with 9 hooves, 14 horses, 111 cows, […]. The place belongs in writing to the manor Pomsen. "
In 1826 the oldest schoolhouse, located on the south side of the churchyard, was sold and a new one was built in its place. In 1879 this was no longer sufficient for the number of students and was replaced by a new building.
Regarding the branches of business around 1900, the work mentions "New Saxon Church Gallery":
"Half of the population is engaged in agriculture, of the other half some are looking for a job in the local quarries, some as building craftsmen in Grimma, some as drainage workers."
In 1911 a Friends of Nature local group was founded in Leipzig . In 1922 the association bought 2500 m² of land between Großsteinberg and Grethen and began building a nature lovers' house. The foundation stone was laid on July 9, 1922, the building was inaugurated on May 17, 1925. In 1933 the association was banned and a Hitler Youth leadership school was set up in the building . After the Second World War , the house was used as accommodation for resettlers . From 1949 it was the “ Erich Weinert ” youth hostel . In 1996 the Friends of Nature Association got the property back. Due to the fact that the building no longer met today's requirements and was also in great need of renovation, it was demolished in 2002 and completely rebuilt. The new inauguration took place on June 21, 2003, since then the association "Leipziger Naturfreundehaus Grethen e. V. "
On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Parthenstein was rebuilt from the previously independent municipalities of Grethen, Großsteinberg, Klinga and Pomßen.

Grethen Church
The origins of the Grethen Church are Romanesque from the 13th century and have remained essentially structurally unchanged to this day. The tower stands in the east between the nave and the apse. In 1776 the interior was renewed, a new gallery was built, the altar and pulpit were renewed and the church was repainted. In 1787 the building was externally renovated. In 1841 the painting was renewed and a new organ created by the organ builder Weineck in Eilenburg was purchased for 335 thalers - the previous instrument was from 1763. In 1875 the existing church clock was replaced by a new one. In 1902 the church building was rebuilt and renewed. Among other things, the nave was extended by 5 meters, the ceiling was raised to accommodate a larger organ and the number of seats increased from 150 to 200. The re-inauguration after these modifications took place on December 1, 1902.
