history

Compared to most of the neighboring towns, Lauschgrün is a young place. The development of the village is closely linked to the construction of the Göltzschtalbrücke (1846–1851). Between 23,000 and 230,000 tree trunks were used for the scaffolding of the huge viaduct. Johann Gottfried Opitz, the owner of the Netzschkau manor at the time , had a large part of his forest between Netzschkau and Buchwald , known as the "Long Wood", cut down to build the bridge . He sold the logs for scaffolding at the Göltzschtalbrücke, and the resulting Rodeland was also sold.

Even before the first farm was built, there was a small dwelling house for forest rangers at the site of today's “upper settlement”, which was the origin of the settlement of Lauschgrün. In 1844, the first resident of part of the tobogganing land sold was the chess master Karl Gottfried Lausch, who came from Voigtshain near Wurzen and who had come to the Göltzschtal through the construction of the bridge. He first built a barn with a small living space. In 1849 the building, which still exists today, followed in the "Plauener Straße", in which a restaurant later found its place. The farm he built was inhabited by his descendants until 2001. At the end of 1849 the settlement called "Obernetzschkau" at the time already had four houses on the way between Netzschkau and Buchwald. It was initially administered by the city of Netzschkau. The place name "Lauschgrün", initially also "Lauschgrün", first mentioned around 1850, is derived from the first inhabitant of the settlement and the ending "-grün" which is common in the Vogtland. The “Grünes Tal” inn was built around 1855, and in 1873 it was granted a beer and brandy license. A bakery with colonial goods opened in 1903 on "Plauener Straße". In the GDR times, this was the grocery store of the consumer cooperatives .

Lauschgrün belonged to Netzschkau until 1870 and only then became an independent rural community , which had belonged to the Plauen administration since 1875 . In 1928 the municipality of Lauschgrün bought the area of ​​the Kölbel small estate on both sides of “Plauener Straße”. The area was built on with settlement houses and today bears the street names "Gartenweg" and "Friedensstraße".

At the end of the 1920s, most of the "lower settlement" was created through the sale of the mayor and small goods and weaving mill owner Reinhard Benkert to settlers. In his honor, a linden tree was planted at the intersection of "Siedlerstrasse" and "Am Berg", which can still be found at the site today. Until 1929 the poultry farm on "Plauener Straße", the residential building to the west, as well as the houses on "Siedlungsstraße" and "Am Berg" belonged to the Lambzig community , which is now part of Netzschkau. The community of Lauschgrün had to pay a transfer fee to the community of Lambzig for the tax loss resulting from the incorporation of the "lower settlement".

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Lauschgrün 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. At the beginning of the 1990s, the eleven houses on the street “Am Feldrain” were built in the “upper settlement” through the sale of the last communal land. After 1990, six houses were built in the “lower settlement”.

On January 1, 1994, Lauschgrün was incorporated into the Limbach community.

traffic

The downgraded former federal highway 173 leads through the upper settlement of Lauschgrün . The route of the Leipzig – Hof railway line ( Sachsen-Franken-Magistrale ) runs west of the village and has a stop in the neighboring village of Limbach. Lauschgrün has two bus stops on "Plauener Straße": "Lauschgrün, Gasthof" in the upper settlement and "Lauschgrün, Geflügelhof" in the lower settlement.

monument

On September 11, 1921, the military association founded in 1889 erected a memorial for the twelve Lauschgruners who died in World War I. This was canceled in 1972 by resolution of the local council at the time. The now local council of Lauschgrün inaugurated a memorial stone on the memorial place after the fall of the Wall , which commemorates those who died in the war.
