history
Großröda was first mentioned as Rodiuue on August 1, 976 , when Emperor Otto II donated the place to the Zeitz diocese . In 1121 Rodowe was named as the equipment of the Bosau monastery, which is why a monastery was built here, which became a manor after the Reformation . The Bosau monastery was dissolved in 1573, so the monastery property came to the Zeitz monastery administration . On July 25, 1632, a fire raged in the village.
From the 17th century, Großröda, with the Wettin office of Altenburg, was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies : Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826) . At first the place was only called Röda. It was not until the owners of the manor built a village northwest of the manor in 1703 that they were divided into Groß- and Kleinröda . When the Ernestine Duchies were reorganized in 1826, Großröda again became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Großröda belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1879 the Altenburg District Court and since 1906 the Meuselwitz District Court were legally responsible for the place. From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 Großröda was assigned to the Altenburg district .
In mid-April 1945 the place was occupied by US troops , from the beginning of July by the Red Army . Like all of Thuringia, he became part of the Soviet occupation zone and, from 1949, of the GDR .
During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Großröda came with the district Altenburg to the district of Leipzig . In 1990 the place with the Altenburg district was re-incorporated into the Free State of Thuringia. Großröda has been part of the Altenburger Land district since 1994.
Lignite mining
The extraction of raw lignite played a role in the district from 1898 to 1927. Between 1945 and 1959 the dismantling was carried out again due to a lack of energy sources. Großröda belongs to the Meuselwitz-Altenburg lignite district . The Eugenschacht underground mine north and west of Großröda was in operation between 1900 and 1960. The Eugen-Schacht briquette factory also opened in 1900 and continued production until 1928. To the northwest of Großröda, lignite was mined in open-cast mining . This was first the opencast mine Eugen (1911 to 1915), then the opencast mine Gertrud II (1914 to 1932) and finally the opencast mine Gertrud III (Zechau) (1931 to 1959), the Großröda's neighbor Petsa fell victim. After the end of lignite mining, only the scars in the loess remained. During the Second World War , the Anhalt Coal Works maintained a warehouse with 280 forced laborers .
Incorporation
On Friday, December 17th, 2010 the Mayor of Großröda Jens Gentsch and Wolfram Schlegel, Mayor of Starkenberg, signed an integration contract in the Altenburg District Office , which provided for the incorporation of Großrödas into Starkenberg. The state parliament approved this merger on November 16, 2011, so that the change of territory came into force on January 1, 2012. Until then, the place had been part of the VG Altenburger Land since 1992 . The former mayor Jens Gentsch is still mayor of the district. The Eugenschacht settlement, which was built around the former lignite shaft, is part of Großröda.

According to another source, the fallen soldiers of the Nißma flak position are resting here (and in Nißma ) .

Großröda had a train station on the Meuselwitz – Ronneburg line . Due to the lignite mining, the line between Großröda and Meuselwitz was closed in 1965. In 1972 the opposite direction to Großenstein was shut down.
