history

Pond in Harthau

The name of the place Harthau comes from harth , which means something like forest mountain . Harthau was first mentioned in a document in 1365 by the Bürgel Monastery , when Provost Ludwig in Remse, together with the Bürgel abbot, acquired the village of Harthau from Otto von Lobdeburg- Burgau for 400 Rhenish guilders . Until the Reformation, the place was largely owned by the Remse Monastery , which was a subsidiary of Bürgel. Only a few residents of the place belonged to the Altenburg care. Harthau was parish in Tettau until the Reformation , and since then in Niederwiera.

Harthau (Saxon share)

The larger, Saxon part of Harthau came in 1543 as a former possession of the Remse Monastery, which was dissolved in the course of the Reformation in 1533, through purchase to the Lords of Schönburg . Since then the place has belonged as an official village to the Schönburg rule of Remse , which, however, was under Wettin suzerainty as a feudal rule . As part of the administrative reorganization of the Kingdom of Saxony, Harthau (Saxon Ant.) Was subordinated to the Zwickau district administration as part of the Schönburg feudal lordship of Remse in 1835. The feudal lordship of Remse and its locations has since been administratively administered by the royal Saxon office of Zwickau .

From 1856 Harthau (Saxon Ant.) Belonged to the Remse court office and from 1875 to the Zwickau administration . After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Harthau (Saxon Ant.) Came with the entire former court district of Remse in 1880 to the newly founded Saxon administration Glauchau . In 1886 Harthau had 101 residents, ten of whom belonged to Altenburg and the rest to Saxony.

Harthau (altenburg. Or thür. Share)

Only one house from Harthau was in the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine Duchies were reorganized in 1826, Harthau (Altenburg. Share) again became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, the place belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). Harthau (altenburg. Share) was counted to Niederwiera and from 1918 belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which in 1920 became part of the state of Thuringia . In 1922 the place came to the district of Altenburg .

History of Harthau since 1928

In 1928 there was an exchange of territory and a border adjustment between the Free State of Saxony and the State of Thuringia. In the Thuringian-Saxon State Treaty of December 7, 1927, the territories that changed countries were set in advance. The draft law dates from March 15, 1928. As a result, the house in the east of Harthau, which had previously been in Thuringia, was completely ceded to Saxony and united with the Saxon town of Harthau.

On July 1, 1950, Harthau was incorporated into the municipality of Oberwiera and now represents one of the six ears of corn in the municipality's coat of arms. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Harthau became part of the municipality of Oberwiera in 1952 to the district of Glauchau in the Chemnitz district (1953 renamed the district of Karl-Marx-Stadt ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Glauchau from 1990 and merged in 1994 in the district of Chemnitzer Land and in 2008 in the district of Zwickau.

Infrastructure

The place has a street (Dorfstraße) and 15 inhabited houses or four-sided courtyards . Until shortly after the fall of the Wall, Harthau had an independent drinking water supply , which was fed by an elevated water storage tank . In 1999 it was connected to the Thuringian network.

economy

In 1840 the forest surrounding the village still comprised over 268 acres . During this time the inhabitants lived almost exclusively from logging. The forest, however, was almost completely cleared after 1848; only a few strips of forest have been preserved.

In the immediate vicinity of the village there is a no longer used gravel pit .
