history

Former Höhenburg on the Lichtenberg castle hill

Lichtenberg is first mentioned in 1309 as Lichtinberc. The establishment of the place by Frankish colonists took place in the 12th century. In the 14th century the moated castle Lichtenberg , called "Ringelteich", was built in the valley, and presumably also in the 14th century the hilltop castle Lichtenberg on the castle hill. In contrast to the neighboring village of Weigmannsdorf, which belonged to the Frauenstein office , Lichtenberg, like its current district of Müdisdorf, was part of the Freiberg district office of the Electoral Saxony or royal Saxon district until 1856 . In 1506 Lichtenberg became the Freiberg Ratsdorf through purchase . It was not until 1838 that the place received self-administration. From 1856 Lichtenberg belonged to the Freiberg judicial office and from 1875 to the Freiberg district administration .

In 1912 Lichtenberg was connected to the electricity network. With the second district reform in the GDR, Lichtenberg came to the Brand-Erbisdorf district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). The Lichtenberg dam was built between 1967 and 1973. On October 1, 1993, was carried incorporation of Weigmannsdorf-Müdisdorf . In 1994 the municipality of Lichtenberg / Erzgeb came. from the Saxon district of Brand-Erbisdorf to the district of Freiberg and in 2008 to the district of central Saxony.
