history

The place was first mentioned in 1268 as "Wiczendorf". Originally it was founded as a so-called Waldhufendorf with the Leuba as the central axis.

The location on the Leuba is also the main reason for the construction of the still verifiable mills:

• The Dietzels or Geyersmühle was probably mentioned on a tax list in 1512 as a mill (allleier). Even then, 50 hectares of land belonged to the grinding and cutting mill, which can be described as sufficient for further economic consolidation during this time. However, the somewhat remote mills were subject to arbitrariness in times of war. The successes of ownership from 1512 came to an end in 1900 because none of the five children wanted the mill business. The tenth generation said goodbye. The industrialization of the area was to blame. 1903–1904 the mill was foreclosed by auction. It has been uninhabited for a few years.
• The commercial cutting mill operation in the Buschmühle has long since ceased to exist. The mill was first mentioned in a document in 1538. Paul Beigang was the last sawmill to run the business until shortly after the Second World War . The mill is still inhabited.
• The Mutzmühle, formerly called Kittenmühle, is now behind a modern department store on the right-hand side of Greizer Strasse, hidden behind a black and white half-timbered house. In 1540 the owner wanted to expand his mill into a cutting mill, but there was a dispute with the other millers. The water law problems increased when the industrial plants were added. A factory owner bought the mill in 1888 and later cultivated the land. The mill house became a residential building and is now an advertising medium.
• The cutting mill Arnold is located in Wiesengrund on the Leubabach and was built in 1846. In 1993 the watermill received an overshot water wheel. The water supply from the Leuba was regulated through a 250 meter long mill ditch. When the grinding mill burned down in 1884, the property was sold. It became the site of a textile weaving mill. The old cutting mill had to give way. They say there were three mills there before.
• The Schmieds- or Eiselsmühle burned down on June 20, 1926. It was first mentioned in a document in 1550. This mill is said to have been built around 1665. Today there is a residential building with an attached workshop on the site.
• The Kuxmühle was first mentioned in a document in 1597. In 1978 it was run under the name VEB Vereinigte Mühlenwerke Wünschendorf, Langenwetzendorf production area. With a modern system, it supplied a pig fattening system with over 60 tons of compound feed every day. With the political change came the end of the Kuxmühle. The closure took place in 1991. The last worker was laid off on September 30, 1992.

In July 2006 a desired merger with the municipality of Vogtland Oberland failed in two attempts, see History of the Vogtland Oberland .

On December 31, 2012, the Vogtland Oberland community was dissolved. There were two variants: In the “Bürgerwille” variant, the municipality of Langenwetzendorf was to receive the districts of Hohndorf and Schönbach . The state government, on the other hand, preferred the “old district borders” variant, in which the municipality should be divided between the cities of Greiz and Zeulenroda-Triebes . The latter variant was finally implemented, which ultimately meant that the Langenwetzendorf community was not expanded.

As of December 31, 2013, the communities of Hain, Lunzig, Neugernsdorf and Wildenaube were incorporated from the dissolved Leubatal administrative community . At the same time, Langenwetzendorf became a fulfilling municipality for Hohenleuben and Kühdorf .

Regular events

The park festival takes place once a year. It is a folk festival with over 50 years of tradition, which is organized by the associations of the community. The second weekend in July has established itself as a fixed date. At the end of the park festival there has been a firework display in front of the backdrop of the park pond for a few years.

Another tradition that is maintained in the village is the setting up of an Easter fountain. This also has its permanent place in the park area during Easter. It can be viewed for fourteen days (one week before Maundy Thursday to one week after Easter Monday).

In the summer months there is an idyllic outdoor pool with a water slide and a 50-meter lane.
