history
Mühlbach was mentioned in a document in 1295 with the naming of a Wernherus de Mulbach , which also documents a manor house . Other documented names were Molbach (1402, 1500), Mülbach (1502) and Mühlbach (1717).
By 1554 at the latest, the manor had grown into a manor that exercised the manorial rule over the Häuslerweiler . Until the end of the 18th century, Mühlbach was partly administered by the Electoral Saxon offices of Wurzen and Grimma , and only then did it come to the office of Wurzen.
When sugar imports were cut off during the continental blockade, the landowner Friedrich Freiherr von Lorenz , brother of Gottfried August von Lorenz , had a factory built for processing sugar beet between 1810 and 1812. After the ban was lifted, the factory was no longer competitive and was closed in 1817. The following year, von Lorenz sold the estate.
The Kornhain settlement, which fell desolate in the late Middle Ages, belongs to the Mühlbacher Flur . There arose from a sheep farm, a Vorwerk , which had 35 inhabitants in 1834th At the time, Mühlbach was twice as big with 72 inhabitants.
The population of the rural community rose to around 100 by the end of the 19th century and reached 172 in May 1939. After the war it was briefly at 220.
The municipality of Mühlbach with its district Kornhain was incorporated into Burkartshain ( Wurzen district ) on January 1, 1952 . This community merged on January 1, 1994 with Kühren to form Kühren-Burkartshain . On October 1, 2006, it was incorporated into the city of Wurzen.
At the end of June 2010, Mühlbach had 72 inhabitants, while Kornhain had 62.
