The Spielsdorfer Grund is located in a western side valley , through which the Erlbach flows. This is where Spielsdorf was once the place that fell in the Middle Ages. Its corridor was divided between Callenberg and Langenchursdorf. Near the game Strand reason is the renatured residual hole of the former nickel mining Callnberg Nord II , which is after the conservation area "swale and Chemnitztal" the second protected area of the local. This former opencast mine was connected to the now disused and dismantled route of the industrial railway of the St. Egidien nickel works , which connected the opencast mines around Callenberg with the St. Egidien nickel works . To the west of the village runs the federal highway 180 , which leads in a southerly direction to the federal highway 4 with the junction "Hohenstein-Ernstthal".

history

Langenchursdorf Church
Former school in Langenchursdorf

The Waldhufendorf Langenchursdorf was created around 1180 during the establishment of the Waldenburg rule . The local church was mentioned as early as 1202, as noted on a missing altar stone. The first written mention of the place took place in 1308 under the name Cunradsdorf , which means village of a Conrad . Later the place name changed to Kunersdorf , (Langen-) Konnersdorf in (Langen-) Chursdorf . After the neighboring settlement of Spielsdorf was no longer populated around 1429/30, the corridors of the desert were divided between Callenberg and Langenchursdorf. A farmer from Langenchursdorf, who later cultivated fields in Spielsdorf, is said to have found the bell of the former Spielsdorf church one day in a wild boar wallow. Afterwards it is said to have served as a baptismal bell in the Langenchursdorf church for centuries. The first village school was probably established in Langenchursdorf with the introduction of the Reformation in 1542.

Regarding the manorial lordship , Langenchursdorf belonged partly to the manor Callenberg until the 19th century, which in turn stood as a vassal court under the administration of the Schönburg rule of Waldenburg . The greater part was directly under the rule of Waldenburg as an official village . The Schoenburg Peasants' War , which lasted from 1652 to 1680, began in Langenchursdorf . The peasants who were compulsorily labored at the manor Callenberg refused to serve their master and sued him at the Imperial Court of Justice in Speyer for excessive forced labor . The farmers, who were directly under the rule of Waldenburg, then joined. After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Langenchursdorf came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Langenchursdorf came to the Hohenstein-Ernstthal district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). In 1962 the polytechnic high school moved into the local school building from 1894 , which was named after the communist resistance fighter Kurt Ritter between 1977 and 1991 . In the 9th and 10th school years, the students from Falken and Langenberg also visited the Langenchursdorf educational institution. In the 1970s and 1980s, nickel ore mining shaped the Spielsdorfer Grund. The opencast mines Callenberg North I (1973–1988) and Ore Body 7 (1984–1988), north of Spielsdorf, the opencast mine Callenberg North II (1978–1990) were built to the southwest of the settlement already located on Callenberger Flur . By extending the industrial line of the St. Egidien nickel smelter from the mine station in Obercallenberg , they were connected to the St. Egidien nickel smelter . After the cessation of nickel production, the remaining holes in the Callenberg North II and Ore Body 7 opencast mines became nature reserves and the Callenberg North I opencast mine, which was used as a Callenberg landfill between 1983 and 1994, was subsequently rehabilitated. As a relic of the ore railway, a part of the railway embankment was preserved near the Spielsdorf location.

The municipality of Langenchursdorf came to the Saxon district of Hohenstein-Ernstthal in 1990 , which was added to the district of Chemnitzer Land in 1994 and in 2008 to the Zwickau district. On January 1, 1994 the municipalities of Langenchursdorf, Falken and Langenberg merged with Meinsdorf to form the municipality of Chursbachtal , which was incorporated into Callenberg on January 1, 1999. Since then, Langenchursdorf has been one of seven districts in the municipality of Callenberg. The local school continued as a four-grade elementary school between 1992 and its closure in 2007. On September 1, 2007, the Langenberg Middle School was converted into a primary school. In this context, the primary schools in Callenberg and Langenchursdorf were closed.

Church history

The church of Langenchursdorf was mentioned as early as 1202, as noted on a missing altar stone. Presumably it replaced a previous wooden building that was built around 30 years earlier at the time of settlement. The oldest evidence from this period is a ram's head at the top of the apse . Originally the church was a branch church of Wolkenburg . In the 13th century it became independent and the main church of the entire Chursbach valley. The name of the priest John has been handed down from the year 1236. The Reformation was introduced in the Langenchursdorf, which belonged to the Schönburg dominions , in 1542. However, Balthasar Wendel, an evangelical clergyman at the church, has only come down to us for 1558.

In 1838, disputes between various Old Lutheran clergymen and the Saxon regional church led to the pastor's son and vicar Carl Ferdinand Wilhelm Walther, who was born in Langenchursdorf, emigrating to the USA with his brother and 26 parishioners and founding the Lutheran Missouri Synod in St. Louis . Since 1992 there have been lively contacts with the descendants of the emigrants.

The church of Langenchursdorf is equipped with two winged altars by the Naumann brothers from Altenburg from 1500 and 1505, an altarpiece from the 17th century, a Bärmig organ from 1869 and a 45 m high tower. The bells from the 15th and 16th centuries were replaced by a new one in 1902, which, however, had to be given in 1917 and 1943 in part for armament purposes. It was not until 1966 that a new bell was cast in the bell foundry in Apolda . The old font was given to the chapel in Falken in 1978/79 .

Mill history

Since 1564 there has been a hammer mill on the site of today's Doege mill , formerly Habermann mill , which belonged to a Martin family. This belonged to the so-called Alten Hammergut . After their sale, the Neue Hammergut was built in 1664 at its present location. The mill building of the old Hammergut was preserved. The Hammergut was used to smelt the lawn iron extracted in the immediate vicinity , which was made available to the numerous blacksmiths in the area for further processing. The high demand for iron was certainly connected with the mining operations in the region in the Wolkenburg district and in Hohenstein-Ernstthal , which required a lot of iron tools. After the decline of mining, the Habermann mill was converted into a grain mill in 1891. Today the Habermann mill is the last of the eight Langenchursdorfer mills in operation. The listed complex can be visited by appointment.
