history
In July 1172 the place was first mentioned in a document. Mehna belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which from the 16th century was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies due to several divisions during its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine duchies were reorganized in 1826, the place came back to the duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, Mehna belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1918 the village belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .
On July 1, 1950, the places Rodameuschel and Zweibschen were incorporated into Mehna. During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus, the community Mehna came with the county Schmölln to the district of Leipzig , which since 1990 belonged to the district Schmölln to Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country. From January 1, 1992 to December 31, 2018, the municipality of Mehna belonged to the Altenburger Land administrative association, which was also based in Mehna. This was dissolved and Mehna moved to the administrative community Rositz . After the reunification , an agricultural cooperative was founded in the village.
