history
The name Meinersdorf is probably derived from its founder, probably Meinher I. von Werben . In 1368 the village was first mentioned as Meynerstorff . Later the name variants Meynerstorf (1415), Menerßdorff (1495), Meinerschdorf and Menerschdorf (1540) are handed down.
In the early modern period , the village was administered from Stollberg. In the late 16th century and until the middle of the 19th century, Meinersdorf belonged to the Stollberg district in the Electorate of Saxony . Between 1856 and 1875, the administrative business was carried out by the Stollberg court office and then by the Chemnitz administration , which had arisen from several court offices . Before Meinersdorf was given independence as a rural community by the Saxon rural community order in 1838, the place was characterized by the feudal system . The manor Stollberg exercised in 1552 the manorial 24 possessed man and 31 Inwohner out. Later Meinersdorf was Amtsdorf , so the sovereign was also the landlord in the place. After the end of the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) he held the manorial rule over 21 possessed men and 24 cottagers who farmed 5 1 ⁄ 8 Hufen .
In terms of the type of settlement, Meinersdorf is a forest hoof village , around which a 487 hectare forest hoof field extended in 1900 . It was used for agriculture by the mainly rural population. After the Reformation in Saxony, the inhabitants of Meinersdorf were predominantly Protestant. In 1925, of the 2234 inhabitants, 2,062 were Evangelical Lutheran , 32 were Catholic and 140 of other or no religion. The Meinersdorfer Church was initially a branch church of the Jahnsdorfer Church, later it became a parish church and today forms the "Marien- Kirchgemeinde Meinersdorf".
As early as 1880 Meinersdorf was connected to the Chemnitz – Adorf railway line. From 1911 the narrow-gauge railway Schönfeld-Wiesa-Meinersdorf branched off from Meinersdorf . After the Second World War Meinersdorf became part of the Soviet occupation zone and later the GDR . In the territorial reform that followed in 1952 , the districts that had emerged from the administrative authorities and the eastern German states were dissolved and replaced by districts and districts. Meinersdorf became part of the Stollberg district in the Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz) district as an independent municipality . The rural life in Meinersdorf was then oriented towards agriculture in the GDR . In 1974 the passenger traffic and a year later also the freight traffic on the narrow-gauge line was terminated and the tracks were dismantled. Today the route serves as a hiking trail for large parts.
After the German reunification , Meinersdorf came to the re-established Free State of Saxony. The following regional reforms in Saxony assigned Meinersdorf on August 1, 1994 to the enlarged Stollberg district and on August 1, 2008 to the Erzgebirge district. In the course of the Saxon administrative reform in 1994, the municipalities of Burkhardtsdorf, Kemtau - with the district Eibenberg - and Meinersdorf merged to form an administrative community. On January 1, 1999, the current municipality of Burkhardtsdorf emerged from this. In the same year, Meinersdorf train station was converted into a stop.
In addition to a day-care center, there is now a primary school with after-school care center, a gym and a public library in Meinersdorf. There is also a senior center and several restaurants.
