history

Großolbersdorf was first mentioned as Albersdorf in a document dated April 8, 1386. In it, Margrave Wilhelm I of Meißen assigned the Scharfstein rule to the widow Anargs von Waldenburg as well as the associated places as a widow's seat. With the acquisition of Scharfenstein Castle on January 26, 1492 by Heinrich von Einsiedel, Großolbersdorf also came into the possession of the noble family. In 1536/1537, on the initiative of Heinrich Hildebrand von Einsiedel, the Reformation was introduced in still Catholic Albertine Saxony. This was favored by the simultaneous conversion to the Lutheran doctrine of Heinrich the Pious , Lord of the Office of Selva. On April 18, 1575 the place previously parish after Selva became an independent parish with the places Grünau, Hohndorf, Hopfgarten and Scharfenstein. The first pastor was Johann Pufendorf, grandfather of Esaias and Samuel von Pufendorf . During the Thirty Years War on January 3, 1643, the chapel was burned down by Swedish soldiers. The church was rebuilt just two years later. This was completed in 1647. She received a carved pulpit, which is carried by a standing statue of Moses. In 1653 Heinrich Hildebrand von Einsiedel and his wife Sophie von Ponickau donated the altar created by Johann Böhme .

In 1720 the wall memorial was founded. The Brothers Funeral Society was founded on February 2, 1759. In 1775, on the initiative of Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich von Trebra, the construction of the St. Gideon Tiefer Erbstolln began. This was intended to drain the Lauta mining area. However, the tunnel was never fully extended.

In 1783 the Zimmererinnung was founded. In 1790 the peasants demanded the lifting of compulsory labor. In 1834 the church received its 34 m high steeple. The hosiery guild was founded in 1851. The gymnastics club was founded in 1870 and the volunteer fire brigade in 1877 . From the 1880s a toy factory and several stocking factories were established. In 1888 the central school for boys and girls was inaugurated. Today the local primary school is located in the building. The savings bank was opened on January 1, 1896.

The cemetery chapel was inaugurated in the cemetery in 1906. It replaced an 80-year-old parenting hall. Friedrich August III. visited the place on July 1, 1907. During the fighting of the First World War , 103 residents died and five people were missing. In 1919 the Seventh-day Adventists founded a community in Großolbersdorf. The town hall was built in 1924. It offers rooms for the savings and current accounts, for the health insurance and company apartments. In 1927 the building of the local health insurance fund with community pool was completed. The workers gymnastics club was able to complete the gym in 1926. The fire department depot was inaugurated in 1931. The Schnitzerheim was built in 1936 and the Stülpnerberg was completed in 1938. In the years 1938 to 1940 the local water pipe was built.

On the night of February 14th to 15th, the place was bombed by American planes. Ten people were killed. 34 houses including the school and the inn are completely destroyed. In World War II, 154 residents were killed and 38 were missing. As early as the spring of 1945, the place had to accommodate over 600 displaced persons. Two concentration camp prisoners on a death march were shot by SS men in April 1945 .

After the referendum in Saxony in 1946 , some of the local stocking companies were declared public property. In 1948 the rebuilt school was able to resume operations. In 1952 the first kindergarten was opened. In 1953 the LPG "Morgenrot" was founded. In 1973 the three local LPGs were merged into one. In 1988 a new school building was inaugurated. This housed grades 5 to 10, and later the middle school. In 1991 the newly built kindergarten and crèche building was opened.

coat of arms

Coat of arms from 1997 to 2010

The coat of arms of the community Großolbersdorf was approved on November 23, 2010. It emerged from the coats of arms of the two previous communities Großolbersdorf and Hohndorf and the Hopfgarten signet for the 600th anniversary. The Großolbersdorfer coat of arms can be proven for the first time on a seal imprint in 1810. The tree ( oak ) stands for life, joie de vivre, independence and being down to earth. The plow stands for agriculture . The toothed wheel on the lower wheel is a reminder of the local craft and industry. The symbol of the Hohndorfer coat of arms can be traced back to the former “Black Horse” guy on the former salt road .

The blazon reads as follows: In silver on a green mountain, in which the upper part of a red-silver cog wheel, in front of a black plow, a green oak with a red trunk; accompanied by a black steed in front and above by a green hops umbel.

The previous coat of arms of the community Großolbersdorf was approved on March 21, 1997.
