geography
Geographical location

Local division
The south-southeastern village of Kornbach and the west-southwestern village of Langenbach belong to Mühltroff .
history
The settlement laid out as an anger village was first mentioned in 1274. Mühltroff has been attested as a town since 1367. The place belonged to the Plauen office until the 19th century . The white fish on the city coat of arms testifies to the city's former abundance of fish with its large pond. After a flood in Mühltroff in the 16th century, a white fish is said to have been lying on the council table. Since then it has been the symbol of the city. The name of Mühltroff is derived from Muldorf because there were several mills in the village. Most of them were water mills, the oldest from the 14th century is the town mill, which is now used as a residential building. In the 15th century the first textile factory was mentioned in Herrenstrasse. The textile industry is still a mainstay in Mühltroff today. Today there is also a textile museum in the castle. At the end of the 18th century, Count Kospoth had a pleasure palace built outside the city on Lämmerhügel (today Schafhof), surrounded by a large park with pavilions, but the count spent himself financially, so that his wife left him and henceforth in a few, small rooms of the castle lived where he died in the castle fire in 1817. There is nothing left of the pleasure palace today. In 1887 the Schönberg – Schleiz railway was opened. Today it is used by an association for traditional trains.
During the time of the GDR , Mühltroff belonged to the Gera district from 1952 and initially became Thuringian after the reunification of Germany . On April 1, 1992, the city was reclassified from the Schleiz district in Thuringia to Saxony.
On January 10, 2000, an administrative partnership between the city of Mühltroff and the city of Pausa / Vogtl. formed with the name Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Pausa . On January 1, 2013, the administrative community was dissolved and the town of Mühltroff was incorporated into the town of Pausa. The unified community bears the name Pausa-Mühltroff.
