history
For a long time it was assumed that Gruna was the old Wendish city of Gana , which is said to have been destroyed by King Henry I in 927 . However, this was refuted by the latest archaeological findings. Due to the type of settlement and the name, Gruna is considered to be a German foundation and was probably created in the middle of the 12th century. At that time, Low Germans ( Dutch ) were probably settled here. The church of Gruna contains an altar shrine from the pre-Reformation period, which shows the mother Mary with the child and on her right side St. Nicholas of Myra , the Dutch patron saint. Field names also indicate a Dutch dialect.
The oldest written mention of the place "Gronowe" (means: green meadow) comes from the year 1285. In the 14th century the treasurers of Gnandstein owned the fiefdom of Gruna. After 1403, Gruna was first mentioned as an independent knight's seat. In 1434, Gruna became the property of the Spiegel family . According to his own saying in the table speeches, Martin Luther was once a guest “among those from the nobility on Gruna”. From 1668 Gebhard von Dieskau was the new owner of Gruna. In 1732 Gruna came into the possession of the von Hohenthal family .
Until 1815 Gruna belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Eilenburg . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the place became part of Prussia and was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816, to which it belonged until 1952.
In the course of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Gruna was attached to the Eilenburg district in the Leipzig district , which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 . Since 1974 Gruna has belonged to the municipality of Laußig .
