history
Originally the place was a small, single row forest hoof village . Older maps show only a few typical field strips. The first documentary mention of Hohe Fichte comes from 1542.
Initially the official village of Augustusburg , in 1696 it came under the rule of the manor , which was founded in 1680 in the village and which also included a sheep farm and a mill . The manor has been preserved to this day and is located high above the valley in the southwest of the village. A round arched gate gives access to the four-sided courtyard , which is dominated by the former manor house on the north side. Two massive full storeys tower above a high basement. The entrance, marked above the lintel with the Roman year of the rebuilding MDCCCVIII - the manor burned down in 1807 - can be reached via an outside staircase .
In addition, an electoral fish master was resident in the village . Older maps show a fish house in the Flöhaaue, southeast of the village. In 1608 a pleasure fish house was built for guests of the Augustusburg Palace under Elector Christian II . Located between Mühlgraben and Flöha, it could only be reached by boat.
In 1602 the first wooden bridge was built over the Flöha instead of the ford through the Flöha that had been used until then . The bridge had to be rebuilt twice (1662 and 1680) as early as the 17th century, as the previous ones were destroyed by ice drift . When crossing the bridge, escort money had to be paid, for which a bridge toll house was built in 1786. The construction of today's covered wooden bridge, built in 1832, is similar to that in Hennersdorf over the Zschopau . It is 55 meters long and 4.6 meters wide.
In 1833 Max Hauschild and Wilhelm Pansa founded a cotton mill in the area of the mill and the pleasure fish house. Stripping and knitting yarns were produced. Over 200 workers were employed around 1850. This gave the seed for the expansion of the rural area into an industrial settlement. In 1853 Pansa left the company.
With the construction of the Flöhatalbahn, Hohenfichte received a train station - today a stop - that began operations in 1875.
The fire in the town church in Schellenberg (the name was changed to Augustusburg in July 1899) on April 16, 1893 gave rise to the building of a church for Hohenfichte, which has been parish since 1517. Most of the costs were covered by the factory owner Max Eugen Hauschild. The Dresden architectural office Schilling & Graebner was entrusted with the design and also directed the reconstruction of the Schellenberg town church. The consecration took place in 1896. In 1922 Metzdorf was incorporated into Hohenfichte.
The economy after 1945 was determined by state- owned companies , namely the VEB cotton spinning and twisting mill , the VEB Vliestextilien Lößnitztal - Hohenfichte plant and the national animal breeding farm and the insemination station in the Metzdorf district - the manor was a public estate from 1947. After the business was closed in 1990, it was operated as an estate in the Flöha district and sold to AGRO-Produkte GmbH Leubsdorf in 1993. The estate was sold by the latter in 1996 and is now privately owned; Areas and stables are still used by the GmbH. The former cotton mill now houses several museums.
On March 1, 1994, the previously independent communities of Hohenfichte, Marbach and Schellenberg joined the community of Leubsdorf under this name.
