history

The place Irfersgrün

The name Irfersgrün appears for the first time in 1292 during the colonization of the area in connection with a manor house, from which the local manor later developed. The Waldhufendorf Irfersgrün was first mentioned in a document in 1333. The place name Irfersgrün is interpreted as Ehrenfriedersgrün. In 1349 this place was called "Ernfridersgrune". Later spellings were "Yrnfridesgrune", "Ernfriedesgrun", "Ernfortsgrün", "Erpharsgrün" and "Erffarsgrün", until the current spelling "Irfersgrün" became established around the middle of the 16th century.

The lordship over Irfersgrün was before 1577 with the Netzschkau manor , then with the local manor. Irfersgrün came in the 16th century with the rule of Mylau to the Electoral Saxon and later the Royal Saxon Office of Plauen , to which the place was subject until 1856. In the north and east, Irfersgrün bordered the offices of Zwickau and Wiesenburg . In 1856 Irfersgrün was affiliated with the Lengenfeld court office and in 1875 with the Auerbach administration .

House weaving is documented in Irfersgrün in the 18th century . In addition to agriculture and village craftsmen, the Pechsiederei and soot production continued to be the livelihoods of the inhabitants. In the second half of the 19th century, after the construction of the Lengenfeld-Kirchberger-Chaussee in 1845 and the connection to the Zwickau-Falkensteiner Railway in 1875, an economic boom began. The Irfersgrüner Torfstich at the end of the village in the direction of Zwickau was in operation until the 1950s. The Irfersgrün volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1871.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Irfersgrün became part of Reichenbach in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Reichenbach from 1990 and became part of the Vogtland district in 1996. In the so-called helicopter incident of 1958 , a US Army helicopter illegally flew into the airspace of the former GDR and had to make an emergency landing in a forest clearing near Irfersgrün. The soldiers are interned by the GDR authorities and released around six weeks later, after diplomatic negotiations.

On the occasion of the 750th anniversary, the Irfersgrün inaugurated their own sports station in 1961. In 1979, in honor of the important pedagogue Friedrich Dittes , who was born in Irfersgrün in 1829, his 150th birthday was celebrated with a festive ceremony. A memorial was dedicated to him in the center of the village.

On March 1, 1994 Irfersgrün was incorporated into the town of Lengenfeld (Vogtland) together with the neighboring town of Pechtelsgrün . In 2011 Irfersgrün celebrated its 800th anniversary.

The Irfersgrün manor

Irfersgrün Manor

The manor, which later developed the Irfersgrüner manor, was founded during the colonization of the town between 1200 and 1250. The owners of the schriftsässigen manor practiced the Low justice in the village and parish of. The oldest owner was named "Eberhartus von Ehrenphorsgrüne" in a document dated June 24, 1274. Up until the middle of the 20th century, the manor had around 30 owners. In the 14th century the Burgraves of Leisnig sat on Irfersgrün, who was followed by Georg von Trützschler in 1413 . Messrs Metzsch acquired Irfersgrün in 1493. In 1554 the manor was passed on to the gentlemen von der Oelsnitz , among whom the manor was first mentioned in 1577. The indebted Georg Ernst von der Oelsnitz had to sell the manor in 1595 to the Zwickau city ​​council, from whom he finally got it back in 1607. The other owners were from 1616 Hans Abraham von Hartitzsch , from 1634 Hans Rüdiger von Feilitzsch , from 1641 the von Bünau family , from 1676 the von Reitzenstein family and from 1731 Karl Rudolph von Carlowitz . In 1752 Horst August von Lichtenhain acquired the Irfersgrün manor, which was under administrative administration from 1758 due to its bankruptcy. After Johann Friedrich Lang had acquired it in 1761, after his death it remained in the property of his wife, who remarried in 1783 and the manor came to Christian Gottlieb Müller. Their daughter Florentina Donner took over the manor in 1796 and sold it to the von Arnim family in 1805 .

In the course of the land reform in Germany , the last owner, Sigurd Alom Erik von Arnim, was expropriated in 1945 and the manor was converted into a state estate . From 1947 to 1982 the mansion served as an agricultural school and training center for combine harvester drivers. At present the manor is used as a restaurant and guesthouse. Not far from the former manor barn, the remains of a medieval ring wall were visible in the first half of the 20th century.
