history

It is assumed that around 1100 settlers from Franconia set out to clear the forest. Meusdorf could also have been created during this time. Originally the place was a small village. On July 5, 1827 , there was a fire disaster (popularly known as the “Red Rooster”), only one farm was spared, as a result of a land consolidation procedure that was carried out, the houses were no longer built so close together and Meusdorf was instead expanded towards Jahnshain.

Meusdorf was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Borna until 1856 . The jurisdiction over the place lay with the Sahlis manor . From 1856 Meusdorf belonged to the Frohburg court office and from 1875 to the Rochlitz administration . In 1950 it was incorporated into Jahnshain and assigned to the Rochlitz district . With the second district reform in the GDR, Meusdorf came with Jahnshain to the Geithain district in the Leipzig district in 1952 , which was added to the Leipziger Land district in 1994 .

With the incorporation of Jahnshain in 1999, Meusdorf became a district of Kohren-Sahlis. Since January 1st, 2018 the place belongs to the city of Frohburg.
