history
The place was first mentioned in 1267 as Mechtildegrune. The oldest settlement existed in a 200 m wide floodplain of the Rabenbach and its immediate surroundings. The manor complex was built somewhat away from the former center of the agricultural town. The Rabe family owned the entire territory of the Rabenbach around 1418/19, including Mechelgrün, Theuma, Zschockau and Neuensalz. As early as 1583 there were reports of two manors "Mechelgrün lower part" and "Mechelgrün upper part". The most famous building of these two estates is the moated castle Mechelgrün, which is now in ruins. The manor Mechelgrün upper and lower parts exercised the manorial rule over Mechelgrün until the 19th century. There were three mills in Mechelgrün. One of them was the stem mill, of which the foundation walls are still preserved today. In the middle of the 19th century, embroidery found its way into the estate, during which time the embroidery buildings were built in the village.
Mechelgrün was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Plauen until 1856 . In 1856 the place was affiliated with the Plauen court office and in 1875 with the Plauen administration . On October 1, 1934, the neighboring town of Zschockau was incorporated into the Mechelgrün community.
After the Second World War , new farmer positions , the production facility of a textile company and an agricultural production cooperative (LPG) were created. From 1979 the LPG (P) Mechelgrün existed, which also managed parts of the two former manors. After 1989 the buildings were no longer used, fell into disrepair and were partially demolished. Due to the second district reform in the GDR, the municipality of Mechelgrün in 1952 became the district of Plauen-Land in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon "district of Plauen" from 1990 and became part of the Vogtland district in 1996.
The uranium mining of SDAG Wismut shaped the place from 1954 to 1964. Mechelgrün was located between the Zobes deposit and the Bergen deposit. Shaft 362 north of the village was filled with dump material after the end of uranium mining in 1964. From 2013 to 2014 the former shaft was secured by Wismut GmbH. To the southwest of the shaft are the green pointed cone heaps, of which there are only four left in Saxony. After the fall of the Wall in 1989, a housing estate consisting of private homes and apartment buildings was built southeast of the Halden.
On January 1, 1996, Mechelgrün was incorporated with Zschockau to Neuensalz.
