In 1932, fragments were found during the construction of a sports field on Hohen Strasse, according to information from the history and antiquity researcher Prof. Dr. Henning 7 well-preserved graves with additions, including u. a. Bronze bracelets, bronze needles and arrowheads, exposed. The finds date from around 1200 BC. From 1978 to 1979 further archaeological excavations were carried out, with numerous other graves from a burial site from this time being uncovered. Finds from the younger Iron Age (approx. 400 BC) near the Bronze Age findings suggest that there was a Germanic settlement here.

On December 23, 1308, an agreement between the Nimbschen monastery and the city of Grimma was notarized, according to which the city was given a road and a piece of land from the monastery. One of the councilors, the councilors named Ber de Steynberc , came from the place later called Großsteinberg. The area around the place belonged to the Osterland in the 12th century . That means that, seen from the diocese of Merseburg , east of the Saale , which was settled by Slavs. Until 1557 Großsteinberg and 24 other towns were under the jurisdiction of the Naunhof castle bailiff, and the ecclesiastical jurisdiction was exercised by the bishop of Merseburg. In 1430 Hussite troops devastated the place. A innkeeper and blacksmith Barthel Printz is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1695.

Before 1614 the place belonged to the Belgershain manor . In the same year David Döring bought Belgershain and moved it to the Böhlen manor . The consequences of the Thirty Years' War only had an impact in Großsteinberg after 1630, with great probability Wallenstein and his army passed through the town in 1632 when he advanced from Grimma via Naunhof to Leipzig. General Heinrich von Holk had the Grimma area pillaged and plundered in 1632. Already a year earlier, almost 60 Großsteinbergers had died as a result of the plague .

From old marriage and death lists that were found around 1660, for Großsteinberg, among other things, the professions of horse-maker, gardener, cottage trader, court master, court threshing, baker, sheep-boy, sheep-master, shepherd, hater, tailor, carpenter, kit maker, blacksmith and tavern, shoemaker, collector, electoral rider, bell ringer, church father, court lay judge and village judge prove.

In 1693 Adam Friedrich Döring took over the Großsteinberger Gut, which was administered by a appointed court master. A grandson, David Ernst Friedrich, inherited Hohnstädt and moved in Böhlen and Großsteinberg. In 1787 the estate was sold to Johanna Christina Loth in Leipzig. The name of a brandy distiller Daniel Kühnitsch is mentioned as early as 1764. In 1788 a major fire raged in the village, which killed 5 farms.

In connection with the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , troops of various nationalities passed through the town in 1813. In 1816 August Schumann mentions Großsteinberg in the state, post and newspaper encyclopedia of Saxony concerning a. a .:

“[...] located on Poststrasse to Leipzig. The Partha flows past a little to the left. The village has around 200 inhabitants, with 11 ½ hooves , 8 horses, 97 cows, […]; it belongs to writing. to the Rittergute Hohnstädt, has a branch church from Pomßen, and a companion from Grimma. "

In 1817 the daughter of Johanna Christina Loth inherited the Großsteinberger Gut, which in 1832 sold it to the secret councilor and governor Alexander Platzmann. The last owner was his son (died 1918) or his widow until it was expropriated in the course of the land reform in 1945.

With the opening of the stop of the same name on May 14, 1866, Großsteinberg received a railway connection on the Borsdorf – Coswig line . On December 1, 1902, the station was elevated to a station.

In 1882 the "old school" was built with a classroom. The cantor's apartment was located above the classroom. In 1911 a new school building was built with 2 classrooms, a teaching material room and a teacher's apartment.

Around 1903, the quarrying of gravel and sand began on Naunhofer Straße for the construction of Leipzig Central Station. The break received a railway connection, at times up to 300 workers were employed here. In 1912 the quarry was flooded again in a natural way, as a result country houses from Leipzig manufacturers were built on the newly created banks, and the lake was completely fenced off. During the GDR era, the FDGB guesthouse was located here, while the rest of the land was mainly owned by the state's own businesses and expanded for recreational purposes.

Großsteinberg was spared immediate destruction during the Second World War , 42 residents lost their lives in the war.

After the Second World War, the premises of the school building were no longer sufficient, and lessons were also held in inns and manor rooms. A school combine was formed with the places Pomßen and Grethen, an extension building became increasingly necessary. In 1967 the foundation stone for the extension was laid and it was finally opened two years later. A kindergarten already existed in 1945 and was located in the old school, which is still in use today.

On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Parthenstein was rebuilt from the previously independent municipalities of Grethen, Großsteinberg, Klinga and Pomßen.

St. Martins Church Großsteinberg

The Großsteinberger Church (drawing around 1875)

A reliable year for the construction of today's church has not yet been found; the first church construction most likely dates back to the 14th century. The building has had a three-part bell since 1685. The bells (from small to large) date from 1503, 1458 and 1685. During the Second World War, the small and large bells were given up for war purposes in 1942. On March 16, 1946, the church council decided to purchase the two removed bells. The little bell could later be found and transported back. On September 12, 1948 the consecration of the now two-part bell took place. The purchase of a third bell had to be abandoned for cost reasons. In 1728 the last extension and the consecration of the organ took place, which was donated by Platzmann, the manor owner at the time. The last renovation of the church took place in 1775, with a roof turret. Furthermore, colored lead glass windows were used in the chancel and a pulpit was built. This work was planned by the well-known architect Hugo Altendorff , the window and pulpit were donated by Platzmann. In 1993 the previous tower clock was replaced by a radio remote control. The mechanical clock is still in the belfry today. In 1997 the roof turret received a new, copper covering, the cross was gilded. In 2007 the facade of the church building was renewed and the organ was completely overhauled by Bad Lausick master organ builder Klaus Gernhardt.

economy

Industry

The building materials industry was and still is important today.

In 1904, Ernst Schreiber and Otto Rößler supplied the municipality with packing warehouses for road construction from Großsteinberg quarries. In 1906, quarry owner Alban Vetterlein (a cement specialist from Glauchau) applied for the construction of residential, storage and stable buildings and a crusher, in 1908 a cement factory for the manufacture of cement pipes. The Rößler & Co. and Engelmann quarries were later incorporated. In 1913 Vetterlein employed 70 workers. Of these, 20 worked in the cement factory and eight made paving stones. In addition, there were other smaller quarries in the first half of the 20th century. After Vetterlein, the industrialist Hans Herrmann took over the quarry. Its later owners, Kahnes & Wagner, mainly produced colored paving slabs with a concrete goods department. In 1937 this company produced 91,300 tons of stones. The "VEB Vereinigte SplittwerkeHohnstädt / Röcknitz, Großsteinberg division" has been created from this break since 1954. In 1957/59 the factory was expanded and fully mechanized, so that in 1962 it was able to produce 586,000 tons, and in 1971 891,000 tons. Further reconstruction measures with an investment of approx. 12 million marks followed in 1971/75. During this time 140 workers were employed in a three-shift system. Since the political change in 1990, this plant has been operated by Sächsische Quarzporphyrwerke GmbH Röcknitz, based in Thallwitz.

In 1916 the Haase & Co. factory was built near the train station, which dealt with poultry farming and incubator construction. From 1966 glue ovens for carpenters, transport containers and plug-in devices for the VEB ESG Grimma were manufactured in the company. After that it became a part of the VEB Rationalisierung in Kombinat Spirituosen Berlin / VEB Wilsdruff. Glue ovens and transport containers as well as NSW spare parts were also manufactured.

Agriculture

In 1952 7 farmers joined together to form an LPG , until 1959 the number of associated farms increased to 22. 1960 all local farms were organized as cooperatives. In 1976 the Großsteinberger and Pomßener LPG merged to form the LPG "Klara Zetkin". Two years later there was a restructuring to separate animal and plant production. In 1968/69 the construction of an agrochemical center began, which began operations in 1970 and provides fertilizers for agriculture. Currently 26,000 hectares of land are looked after, the number of employees is 140. 3–4 agricultural aircraft are used.
