history
12th to 19th centuries
The upper Pleißental was settled by Franconian and Thuringian farmers in the first half of the 12th century. The place Lichtentanne was probably founded between 1100 and 1200, but the first documentary mention does not take place until 1369. As early as 1150 the church of St. Barbara was built. The individual property Brand in the eastern corridor of Lichtentanne was first mentioned in 1527. The church of Lichtentanne became independent in 1546 when it was cleared from Schönfels . The basic rule over Lichtentanne was in the 16th century to the manors Lichtentanne, Thanhof , Alt-Schönfels and Leubnitz . In the 18th century only Lichtentanne, Thanhof and Alt-Schönfels were mentioned. The Lichtentanne manor was first mentioned in 1551. Between the end of the 17th century and the middle of the 19th century, there were two manors, the Heckel and Ehrler manors, in parallel. After their reunification, only one manor was mentioned again in 1875. In 1831 a school was built next to the church. Three years later the “Zur lichten Tanne” inn opened. With the opening of the Crimmitschau - Werdau section of the Leipzig – Hof railway line and the branch line to Zwickau , tracks crossed the Lichtentanne corridor for the first time. The local train station was not opened until April 1, 1885 on the Dresden – Werdau railway line.
Until 1856, light fir belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau . In 1856 Lichtentanne was affiliated to the Zwickau court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administration . In 1888 the new school (today's town hall) was inaugurated, which was replaced by a third school building in 1900. The Lichtentanne volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1895.
20th century to the present
At the turn of the 20th century, in the course of industrialization , numerous companies were founded in Lichtentanne. That were u. a. the worsted Carl Schmelzer spinning mill (1890), the König-Albert-Werk ironworks with the Maxhütte settlement (1898) and Emil Möckel's clothes, apron and lingerie factory (1904). In 1907 the foundation stone was laid for the new church.
In 1920 Lichtentanne was assigned to the Werdau administration . In 1922, the Thanhof and Lichtentanne school districts merged. On April 1, 1923, the communities Lichtentanne and Thanhof (without the independent manor district Thanhof) merged under the name "Lichtentanne" to form one community. In 1930 the König Albert plant was finally shut down. With the dissolution of the Werdau administration, the municipality of Lichtentanne came back to the Zwickau administration in 1933, which from 1939 on was called the Zwickau district. In 1939 the Brand and Maxhütte settlements with the area of the Zwickau airfield were reclassified to Zwickau. An American bombing on May 12, 1944 claimed six lives. In the course of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone , the Thanhof manor was expropriated and the area was distributed to new farmers and farmers with little land. This went hand in hand with the encirclement of the 137 hectare corridors of the Thanhof estate from Gospersgrün to Lichtentanne on February 18, 1949.
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Lichtentanne came to the Zwickau-Land district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Zwickau from 1990 and in 1994 in the Zwickauer Land district rose. This in turn came to the newly founded Zwickau district in 2008. On January 1, 1996, the communities of Stenn, Schönfels (with Altrottmannsdorf) and Lichtentanne (with Thanhof) merged to form the unified community of Lichtentanne, followed a year later by Ebersbrunn (with Hüttelsgrün). On January 1, 1999, the freedom settlement in the Lichtentanne corridor and the Hüttelsgrün settlement that had previously belonged to Ebersbrunn were reclassified to Zwickau.
