history

Jückelberg was first mentioned in a tax register in 1280. In 1866 a medieval stone cross was discovered which, according to a legend, was erected there because a carpenter and a butcher killed themselves there.

Jückelberg belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which from the 16th century onwards was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies due to several divisions during 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, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, it belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .

During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus, the village Jückelberg came with the district Altenburg at the Leipzig district , since 1990 as a district Altenburg belonged to Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. On January 1, 1973, the communities of Flemmingen and Wolperndorf were merged into a new community. This was named Jückelberg. The community center was in Flemmingen.

On July 6, 2018, Jückelberg was incorporated into the Nobitz community.
