history

Hainichen was first mentioned in 1529 . The name of the place means something like "fenced in, protected place". Hainichen was one of the "eight communities" (suburbs) of Eilenburg .

Until 1815, Hainichen 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, Hainichen fell to the newly created district of Eilenburg in the Leipzig district , which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 . On January 1, 1974, Hainichen was incorporated into Eilenburg. Until a few years ago, the current district of Hainichen was considered a district of Eilenburg.
