The double-row forest hoof village Mitteldorf is located in the Western Ore Mountains at the confluence of the Gablenzbach and Oberdorfer Bach rivers. There are numerous ponds in the Bachaue, including the Fürstenteich as the largest.

The B 169 , which connects Stollberg with Aue , brushes against Mitteldorf at the lower end of the village. From 1889 to 1967 the Zwönitz – Chemnitz Süd railway line (now known as the Würschnitztalbahn) passed Mitteldorf in the north. At the initiative of SAG Wismut , the Mitteldorf branch was opened on May 14, 1950 . From June 16, 1953, Mitteldorf was an unoccupied stop. The stop was closed again on October 10, 1966, before the Zwönitz – Stollberg section went out of service a year later. The former route can still be recognized today by the trees on the embankment.

history

Mitteldorf, Grabner Mühle (2017)

Mitteldorf Former School (2018)

It was first mentioned as Mittelndorf in 1447, although it is probably a village complex from the 12th or 13th century. Part of the corridor comes from the Mark Wittendorf desert . The place name distinguishes itself from the villages of Oberdorf and Niederdorf, also located near Stollberg . One of the largest and oldest estates in the village is the Grabner mill on the outskirts of Stollberg. It was mentioned as early as 1542. Mitteldorf was not a pure farming village. In addition to 37 farmers, there are also 39 residents in 1552, which should indicate brisk mining , which was mainly carried out in the Querenbachtal . Well-known tunnels in the 16th century were z. B. The blessing of God and the St Israel tunnel . In 1735, the unity and young Johannes treasure troves built on silver and mercury. In 1848 the mine “ Grüne Tanne” supplied green earth , which was used for the production of paint. In the state and postal encyclopedia of Saxony, August Schumann mentions Mitteldorf's equipment: “It has around 60 houses, 310 residents and 2 mills with 5 courses.” In the 19th century, a secondary school of the Stollberger School was established in the village.

Mitteldorf belonged to the manorial rule of the Hoheneck Castle (formerly Stal (e) burc) and thus until 1856 to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Stollberg . In 1856 Mitteldorf came to the Stollberg court office and in 1875 first to the administrative authority of Chemnitz . On July 1, 1910, the Southwestern part of the Chemnitz Office was formed into the Stollberg Office , to which Mitteldorf now also belonged.

Agricultural production in Mitteldorf took place in GDR times by the LPG "Aktivist", to which the cooperatives "Gute Hoffnung" from Gablenz, "Abendrot" from Mitteldorf, "Heimaterde" from Oberdorf, "Karl Stülpner" from Raum and " Neuer Weg ”from Beutha. She farmed the entire south-western part of the Stollberg district and had a population of 2,400 cattle. The field management was carried out by the KAP Stollberg-West based in Oelsnitz / Erzgeb.

During the first district reform in the GDR , the Amtshauptmannschaft Stollberg , which was renamed Landkreis Stollberg in 1939, was dissolved in 1950. Like the city of Stollberg, Mitteldorf came to the district of Chemnitz, while the southern neighboring towns of Oberdorf and Gablenz were assigned to the district of Aue and the western neighboring town of Neuwürschnitz to the district of Zwickau . On January 1, 1952, Mitteldorf was incorporated into Stollberg. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR, the city of Stollberg with the district of Mitteldorf became the district town of the newly formed Stollberg district in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Stollberg from 1990 . When it was dissolved in 2008, Mitteldorf came to the Ore Mountains as a district of Stollberg.
