history
A moated castle ( Münch Castle ) was probably built in the village by the Münch family in the 12th century . It was used to protect the Regensburger Strasse that passed by. The Münch family owned the castle until 1585. The fortress was then rebuilt as a castle in the 16th and 18th centuries , which was demolished in 1965. Only small remnants of the wall remain from the castle.
Münchenbernsdorf was first mentioned on August 17, 1251 in a document from the Weida bailiffs . Due to the division of Leipzig in 1485, the town came under the rule of the Ernestines , but in 1571 it became part of the Electorate of Saxony . After Saxony was punished at the Congress of Vienna in 1815, Münchenbernsdorf came to the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach . The place has had town charter since 1904.
During the National Socialist era , the Jewish CEO of the Naundorf & Poser AG carpet factory was asked to withdraw from the company, whereupon he committed suicide in May 1935 and the company was “ Aryanized ”. After the 2nd World War it was not returned to the heirs, but converted into a state-owned company (VEB). During the Second World War , numerous prisoners of war as well as women and men from the countries occupied by Germany had to do forced labor : at Rheinmetall AG , at Krause & Poser and at Weges . They were interned in five barbed wire-fenced camps.
The tank farm of the "WiFo" established in 1938 made Münchenbernsdorf a target of US air raids from April 8th to 13th, 1945 . Over 150 tons of bombs were dropped and 8 people died.
The “street of the youth red cross”, unique in the world, was inaugurated and dedicated on May 27, 2017 directly at Rodaer Strasse 30.
