history

The clearing, which is about three kilometers west of the city center of Zwickau, was named by the monks who worked during Easter consecration after Maria, the patron saint of their small chapel. The forest hoof village of Marienthal that emerged there was founded by the Bosau monastery towards the end of the 12th century. The first documentary mention was made on December 8, 1192 under the name "villam, que Vallis sancte Marie nuncupatur" in a certificate from Emperor Heinrich VI. which was made in Merseburg . In the meantime, the spelling of the name has changed several times. For example, in 1348 the spelling Meriental was used, in 1354 the spelling Mergental and in 1530 the spelling Mergenthall. In 1590, the Marienthal spelling has been consolidated to the present day. The village of Marienthal was almost completely destroyed by armed conflicts several times, for example in 1430, 1547, 1634 and 1640. Gradually, however, the village recovered from the turmoil and damage of the wars and in 1820 had around 600 inhabitants and 100 houses, and in 1860 with 1076 inhabitants and 114 houses to a quite stately village.

The manorial rule over Marienthal was part of the manor Marienthal and the council of the city of Zwickau around 1553 . Around 1764 the lordship over the place was partly owned by the manors Marienthal and Obersteinpleis , another part was directly subordinate to the Saxon office of Zwickau . The estate in Marienthal was sold in 1478 by Hans von Mergenthal to the von Römer noble family from Zwickau , among whom the estate was mentioned as a manor in 1553. The manor came to the city of Zwickau in 1565 and then to Lukas von Uthmann until 1587 and Holdebrand von Creytz from 1587 . From 1592 to 1605 the Marienthal manor was owned by the Electors of Saxony , who handed it over to the Meyer family in 1605. After numerous mostly bourgeois owners in the 17th century, it came into the possession of the Fischer family in 1839. Since 1875 it has been referred to as a fiefdom. Other owners were the Kästner family from 1881 and Otto Schmelzer in 1921. After its expropriation in 1945, it was initially used as a residential building. Today it is empty.

Until 1856, Marienthal belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau . In 1856 the place came to the Zwickau court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administration . After a previous unapproved application, the municipality of Marienthal submitted a second application for incorporation into the city of Zwickau in November 1900, which was then granted on June 30, 1902. Until then, the community leader was Louis Olzmann, after whom a street in Marienthal is named. On October 1, 1902, the place lost its independence and was incorporated into the city of Zwickau as the second formerly independent municipality. The Lord Mayor at that time was Karl Keil.

From the second half of the 19th century, industrialization began in Marienthal. Between 1845 and 1918, in which, for Zwickau coal ground mining on corresponding place coal operated. Shafts were u. a. the "Help-God-Shaft" (sunk in 1851), the "Segen-Gottes-Schacht" (sunk in 1841) and the "Citizens' Shaft" (sunk in 1841), which today are located in the Reichenbacher Strasse and Freedom Settlement district south of Marienthal lie. With the opening of the Zwickau main station and the connection line to the Crimmitschau - Werdau section of the Leipzig – Hof railway line , the city of Zwickau and with it the neighboring municipality of Marienthal were connected to the railway network on September 18, 1845. The large railway facilities in the south of Marienthal were supplemented in 1908 by the opening of the Zwickau Reichsbahn repair shop. Marienthal has been connected to the Zwickau tram since 1897 . In 1904 and 1924 the line within Marienthal was extended. In 1921 the "Staatliche Krankenstift Zwickau" (today's Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum ) in Marienthal went into operation.

The once village structure of Marienthal increasingly changed into an urban settlement due to buildings from the Wilhelminian style and small settlement areas from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Between 1950 and 1979, larger new development areas with associated social and educational infrastructure were built in Marienthal. In 2005 about 15,900 people lived in the district .

At the beginning of 2014, the demolition work on the former Reichsbahn repair shop began on October 7, Zwickau. The listed water tower is the only building that remains. A new correctional facility for the Free States of Saxony and Thuringia is being built on the site .
