history

Meinsdorf, Geyler's inn

The Waldhufendorf Meinsdorf was created between 1183 and 1200 on the initiative of the Lords of Waldenburg through the settlement of Franconian farmers from the area of ​​the Siebengebirge and the Siegtal . Around 1320 there was a Catholic chapel on Kapellenberg, which was named after it. This chapel was probably built by mountain monks from the Benedictine monastery in Chemnitz . In 1460 the place was mentioned as Meynerßdorff or Meynersdorf . Ecclesiastically, Meinsdorf initially belonged to Bräunsdorf , but in the course of the Reformation it came to the parish of Langenchursdorf with the Langenberg branch church from 1530 .

Regarding the manorial rule , Meinsdorf belonged as an official village to the Schönburg rule of Waldenburg until the 19th century . On June 6, 1841, the parish of Langenberg and Meinsdorf was formed, detached from the mother church in Langenchursdorf. After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Meinsdorf came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 . In 1891 Meinsdorf received its own school. At the beginning of the 20th century, jersey production flourished in the town. Many residents also found employment as industrial workers in the factories in the neighboring towns of Limbach and Hohenstein-Ernstthal.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Meinsdorf came to the Hohenstein-Ernstthal district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). After the one-room local school closed, the Meinsdorf students in grades 1 to 4 went to Falken , grades 5 to 8 went to Langenberg . Meinsdorf was incorporated into Langenberg on March 1, 1974.

The community of Langenberg with its district of Meinsdorf came to the Saxon district of Hohenstein-Ernstthal in 1990 , which was added to the district of Chemnitzer Land in 1994 and Zwickau in 2008. On January 1, 1994 the municipalities of Langenchursdorf , Falken and Langenberg merged with Meinsdorf to form the municipality of Chursbachtal , which was incorporated into Callenberg on January 1, 1999. Since then, Langenberg and Meinsdorf have formed two of the seven districts of the municipality of Callenberg. In 1994 the parishes of Langenchursdorf / Falken and Langenberg / Meinsdorf reunited after almost 153 years of separation, so that the entire Chursbachtal now forms one parish again. In the summer of 2012, the first negotiations between the district of Meinsdorf and the neighboring town of Limbach-Oberfrohna about incorporation into this took place. The reason for this is the close cultural ties to the city and the expectation that Callenberg could merge with Hohenstein-Ernstthal in the future.
