history

Höfchen was first mentioned in 1445/47 as "the Hoffchen". Regarding the settlement structure, Höfchen is mentioned as a square village with a row of houses (Moritzfeld) and parceled forest hooves . The Moritzfeld district was only created around 1730 under Moritz Friedrich von Milkau . Höfchen and Moritzfeld belonged to the manor of Kriebstein Castle until the 19th century . In 1588, the possessions of the former Kriebstein lordship , to which Höfchen and Moritzfeld also belonged, were integrated into the Rochlitz office . Thus Höfchen belonged with Moritzfeld to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Rochlitz until 1856 . The offices were dissolved during the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony in the 19th century . As a result, Höfchen came under the administration of the Waldheim court office in 1856 and, in 1875, to the newly established Döbeln administrative administration . Ecclesiastically the place is parish after Beerwalde .

In 1922/23, the Kriebstein estate, which had been independent until then, was incorporated into the Kriebstein Castle, which until then had been in the Beerwalde corridor. Between 1927 and 1929, the Zschopau was dammed south of Höfchen to create the Kriebstein dam.

After the Second World War , the von Arnim family expropriated Kriebstein Castle in September 1945 as part of the land reform . In Höfchen became GDR times from the Wismut the pioneer - camps " Ernst Thalmann " built and operated. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Höfchen with Kriebstein became part of the Hainichen district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen from 1990 and in 1994 in the district of Mittweida or In 2008 in the district of Central Saxony. On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Höfchen was merged with the previous municipalities of Ehrenberg and Kriebethal to form the municipality of Kriebstein.
