history
The first documentary mention of Grisbach dates back to April 8, 1386. Margrave Wilhelm I von Meißen assigned the rule of Scharfenstein with associated villages, including Grießbach (= place on a stream with a lot of stone semolina), as a widow's residence to the widow Anargs von Waldenburg .
With the Reformation in 1539, the place came to the Parish Drebach. A Methodist Church was consecrated in 1929.
Copper mining was carried out in the village in the 16th century, albeit of minor importance. The Berghaus, on the site of which an inn was later built, testified to this until the 19th century. August Schumann writes in the State Lexicon of 1816 regarding copper mining that this brought in 13,454 guilders between 1547 and 1587 . There were also two limestone quarries in the middle of the 19th century. The limestone obtained was burned in two hexagonal lime kilns in the northwestern valley of the Wilisch . Limestone has been mined right next to the lime kilns since the 17th century. The lime distillery was closed in 1902 and lime mining followed in 1926. The preservation of the ruins of the two lime kilns as a technical monument is at risk.
In 1804 a school was built, and in 1886 it was replaced by a new school building. From 1898 to 1938, there was a secondary school in Wilischthal.
21 buildings were destroyed in an air raid on the night of February 14-15, 1945.
Until 1990, most of the population worked in the plants of the "VEB dkk Scharfenstein " and in the plants of the fine spinning mill Venusberg.
From 1886 to 1972 the community had the “Grießbach (Wilischtal)” stop - at times also a train station - but more than two kilometers from the center of the village, a railway connection to the Wilischthal – Thum narrow-gauge railway .
On January 1, 1999, Grießbach became part of the Venusberg community. On January 1, 2010 the municipalities of Drebach and Venusberg merged.
