history

The village was first mentioned in a document between 1181 and 1214. The place belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony- Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxe-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 .

Already in 1923 Lehnitzsch was incorporated into Ehrenberg. Both villages then developed together. During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus, Lehnitzsch came as a district of the municipality of Ehrenberg with the district of Altenburg to the district of Leipzig , which had belonged to Thuringia as the district of Altenburg since 1990 and was added to the district of Altenburger Land in 1994. On July 14, 1993, the entire community of Ehrenberg was incorporated into Altenburg as a district.
