Mannichswalde is a district of the city of Crimmitschau with 617 inhabitants on 655 hectares.

history

According to historical records, the place was one of the Slavic clearing villages that emerged as a result of the German expansion to the east around 1200. The settlement structure is characteristic of a Waldhufendorf .

The manor that was built in the 14th century was of great importance for the village, although it was partially demolished in 1948/1949 as part of the land reform . The last, by now heavily decayed part of the plant, which to DDR and -times. a. still housed the kindergarten, was canceled in 2011/12.

The local volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1933, but its history dates back to 1884. It is still one of the most modern fire brigades in the district. The Mannichswalder Carnival Association (MKV) is well known and celebrated its 60th season in 2014.

The main industries of the place have always been rural handicrafts and trades as well as agriculture . Some craft businesses have survived for generations to this day. In addition, the favorable climatic and landscape conditions enabled tourism companies to establish themselves.

Place name

The place name appeared for the first time as early as 1396. The owner of the same manor was named Hans von Weissenbach zu Manigßwaldt.

It is not clear how the name came about. However, the meaning of the clearing settlement of a Manning sounds particularly plausible , whereby Manning could stand for man, human or Hermann.

Further spellings are: in the 15th century Manigswalde and from the middle of the 18th century to the end of the 19th century Mannichswalda.

Affiliation

Mannichswalde's affiliation has changed several times over the past hundred years: Until 1918, Mannichswalde belonged to the eastern district of the former Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg and the Ronneburg office there. The Free State of Saxony-Altenburg emerged from the duchy. With the merger of the Thuringian Free States in 1920 to form the State of Thuringia , the place became part of the newly formed district of Gera in 1922 . In the course of the comprehensive district reform in 1952 in the GDR, Mannichswalde was attached to the Werdau district in the Chemnitz and Karl-Marx-Stadt district. With the political turnaround in 1990 this became part of the Free State of Saxony and Mannichswalde was finally incorporated into the town of Crimmitschau in 1994 , which is part of today's Zwickau district.

Culture and sights

In 2011/12, the village's new youth club was set up in a flatter extension of the former manor building that was demolished last, after the upper floor had been demolished and renovated. The area that was vacated after the demolition is now used as a festival meadow, together with the ensemble of church, fire station and youth club, the right place for public life in the village.

As early as 1929, a public outdoor pool was created in the former Rießteich . A modern adventure pool has existed here since 1994, which, in combination with the attached, spacious, 4-star campsite is one of the most important excursion destinations in the region.

The only remaining architectural monument of the place is the choir tower church in the center, which was built in 1620. Your organ comes from Christoph Opitz .
