history

Krumbach, Restaurant Wasserschänke

The forest hoof village Krumbach was mentioned in 1350 as "Crumbach". Regarding the administration, the place was under the Rochlitz castle around 1378 , the rule Lichtenwalde around 1445 and the Rochlitz office in 1548 . From 1551 until the 19th century, the manor over Krumbach was at the Neusorge manor . The reign of Neusorge , which was sold to the Elector Christian II of Saxony in 1610 , has belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Augustusburg ever since . In 1832, most of the places previously under the administration of the Neusorge manor, including Krumbach, were assigned to the Frankenberg-Sachsenburg office. From 1856 Krumbach belonged to the Mittweida court office and from 1875 to the Rochlitz administration . Biensdorf was assigned to the Krumbach community before 1875 .

In the valley of the Zschopau, today's restaurant “Wasserschänke” was built in 1826 near the Strauss spinning mill. With the establishment of a ferry connection to the right bank of the Zschopau, tourism began in the Zschopau valley near Krumbach at this time. In 1852 Krumbach received its own school. From the spinning mill in the Zschopau valley, the cardboard factory “Fa. JG Schlenzig ”. The volunteer fire brigade in Krumbach and Biensdorf was founded in 1890. Between April 15 and April 26, 1945, Krumbach was briefly occupied by American troops. May 1945 Soviet troops took over the administration.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Krumbach came to the district of Hainichen in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen in 1990 . After its dissolution, the place belonged to the Mittweida district since 1994 , which was added to the central Saxony district in 2008.

The municipality of Krumbach with its district Biensdorf was incorporated into Ottendorf on December 1, 1994 . In the course of the municipal reform in Saxony in 1999, the municipalities of Auerswalde , Lichtenau and Ottendorf were merged into a new municipality, the name of which was only determined by a referendum on May 28, 2000 as "Lichtenau"; 51% of those entitled to vote decided on this. Since then, Krumbach has been part of the municipality of Lichtenau. In 2002, Krumbach was hit by the heavy flood of the century due to its location near the Zschopau .

Mining history of Krumbach

Mining in Krumbach is documented for the 18th century and especially for the middle of the 19th century. In the Zschopau valley between the “Wasserschänke” in the south and Neukrumbach in the north there are several large duct structures in the slate mantle of the Saxon granulite mountains . The "Bald Glück Spat" located there west of the Zschopau, which was approached by the "Tiefen Bald Glück Stolln", is the continuation of the "Joseph and Marienzuges" on Sachsenburger Flur east of the Zschopau. The "Bald Glück Spat" was excavated between 1790 and 1827 in the pit of the "Help of the Lord and Bald Glück Erbstolln" pit in Neukrumbach, not far from the Claus mill. After various mountain buildings in the local area were merged to form the Commungewerkschaft "Alte Hoffnung Erbstolln" in Schönborn / Drei Werden , "Bald Glück Spat" fell into oblivion. In the 1840s there were first plans to resume mining in Krumbach. In November 1852, the excavation of the "Tiefen Bald Glück Stolln" began, the mouth of which is at the end of Fabrikstrasse in the Zschopau valley. Due to a lack of money and various other problems, such as the dewatering and the impact on a rock layer without ore, the mining of the "Tiefen Bald Glück Stolln" made slow progress after 1857. By 1861 the driveway had a total length of 131 laughers from the mouth hole. In the second quarter of 1861, the "Bald Glück Erbstolln" began to be worked through in Neukrumbach, for which a 7 Lachter-long new fume cupboard had to be built to the Dorfbach. After 83 laughs from the mouth hole, the former artificial shaft was reached. Due to the discovery of ores in good quality, a very ambitious operating plan was drawn up for the years 1863 to 1867, regardless of the economic situation of the union. Since this was rejected as untenable by the responsible mining authority, the mining operation then fell asleep completely. After numerous unsuccessful attempts and attempts, it was decided on March 20, 1872, to dissolve the union and to renounce the mine field.
