history
The Waldhufendorf originated in the early 13th century and in 1240 as Marckquartisdorff and 1555, as Margerßbach referred. It initially belonged to the Grünhain Cistercian monastery and, after its secularization, was administered by its legal successor, the Grünhain Office. The actual village of Markersbach only consists of 3 1/2 Hufen and a number of cottages. It has been administered together with the larger neighboring village of Unterscheibe since at least the 16th century - in old documents mostly under the name Unterscheibe . Judges and court officers for both villages were jointly deployed to administer justice.
The Dorfbach (as the right tributary to the Großer Mittweida ) was known partly as Markersbach , partly as Scheibenbach . Lately the name Abrahamsbach has officially established itself, which is derived from the headwaters in the area of the earlier important iron stone mine of Father Abraham in Oberscheibe ; whereas the vernacular continues to speak of the Scheibner Bachel .
Two variants are considered for the interpretation of the name Markersbach. On the one hand , the village may have been named after a locator Markquart, who had the village built. On the other hand, it is possible that the name is derived from the name Markwart for a border post ( border areas were referred to as Mark in the Saxon region).
The village received its special importance through the church, consecrated to Saints Peter and Paul in 1250 , with which Markersbach became one of the original parishes in the western Ore Mountains . It was probably served from Grünhain Abbey in the first centuries of its existence. For the first time a pastor was named in 1265 with the pleban Paul . In 1500 the church was listed in a pilgrimage bull under its current name of St. Barbara , the patron saint of miners. It is not known when the name change took place. Markersbach, Unterscheibe, Mittweida and Schwarzbach belonged to the parish . In older times, Raschau is said to have belonged to Markersbach as a branch church and Oberscheibe was referred to the church there in favor of the Lords of Schönburg after the founding of the mountain town of Scheibenberg . In 1837 Schwarzbach was parceled out after a lengthy dispute over the roads from 1835 onwards a church had been built there. Since 2006, the parish has had a sister church relationship with the All Saints parish in Raschau, which is responsible for the communal parish offices, and the St. Annen parish in Grünstädtel .
A first school teacher can be traced back to the village in 1535. The current school building dates from 1862. In addition, a new school building was built in 1982, which was expanded again in 2009. The state primary school was closed in 2001. Only the Jenaplan School , a state-recognized primary and secondary school in private ownership, keeps the school running in the village and uses both school buildings.
In the 19th century the community of Markersbach and Unterscheibe became known as Markersbach, probably due to the fact that the community board was filled with Markersbach residents.
In 1889, Markersbach was connected to the Annaberg-Buchholz-Schwarzenberg railway , which was discontinued for passenger traffic on September 27, 1997. The station was on Mittweidaer Flur and the post name was Mittweida-Markersbach . To overcome the great difference in altitude, the railway line leads in a wide arc through the community. In addition, 3 bridges are necessary to bridge talks heirs.
After more than 20 years of negotiations, the neighboring industrial community of Mittweida was incorporated on July 1, 1935 . From 1968, the residents of the Obermittweida district were relocated and their houses demolished so that the pumped storage plant could be built.
During the GDR era, there was the FDGB recovery center "Wolfener Mühle" in Markersbach .
The partner municipality has been the Middle Franconian market town of Obernzenn since 1991 .
On January 1, 2008, Markersbach merged with Raschau to form the unitary community Raschau-Markersbach.
