history
The square village of Königsfeld was first mentioned in 1273 by naming a manor of Heinrich v. Konigswalde (probably Konigsvelde) or mentioned in 1280 by naming Heinricus de Kunigesvelt . The local church was mentioned as early as 1334. In 1352 the Lords of Bünau were enfeoffed with Königsfeld. Four years later the manor house went to the Lords of Colditz . In 1392 a knight's seat was mentioned in Königsfeld . This also exercised the lordship over the place Königsfeld. In 1398, Margrave Wilhelm I von Meißen sold the "castrum Konigisfeld" castle to the knight Johann von Schleinitz . It was returned to him in 1404. The families von Ende (from 1531), von Einsiedel (from 1641) and from 1659 Hans Ernest von Pistoris have also been known as owners of the manor since the 16th century . Via his daughter, who married into the von Ende family, the Königsfeld manor came back into the possession of this noble family in 1669. As early as 1618, the Vorwerk Köttwitzsch belonging to the Königsfeld manor was built by Georg Heinrich von Ende and used as a sheep farm. The Haide Vorwerk , part of the Königsfeld manor, was also built in 1618. was built in 1618. The villages of Königsfeld, Doberenz , Frauendorf , Hermsdorf , Köttwitzsch, Narsdorf , Oberfrankenhain , Stollsdorf , Weiditz , Weißbach and Wickershain were subject to the jurisdiction of the manor in whole or in part . After an auction in 1740, the Königsfeld manor was sold to the von Zanthier family and then in 1764 to the Sahrer von Sahr family . From 1803 it belonged to the von Nitzschwitz family. Several lords were active as district chiefs for the Leipzig district .
Königsfeld belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Rochlitz until 1856 . Heinrich Constantin von Nitzschwitz ceded patrimonial jurisdiction to the state in 1849 . The offices were dissolved during the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony in the 19th century . As a result, Königsfeld came under the administration of the Rochlitz court office in 1856 and in 1875 under the newly established Rochlitz administration . The stoneware factory with the newly established Neukönigsfeld settlement and horse breeding enjoyed an economic boom in the 19th century . In 1910 the manor came into the possession of the Counts of Münster , who were expropriated from 1945 by the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone . The manor was then divided up and the castle demolished in 1948. In addition to the castle cellar, the farm building was retained, which after its renovation in 2002 is used as a council and community center for the municipality of Königsfeld.
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the municipality of Königsfeld was incorporated into the Rochlitz district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon Rochlitz district from 1990 and in the Mittweida district in 1994 and 2008 rose in the Central Saxony district. The Königsfeld dam north of the Doberenz district was built between 1978 and 1984 .
