history

Mobendorf was founded in the course of eastward expansion under Margrave Otto between 1156 and 1162, before the Altzella monastery was established. A document from 1185 shows that the village belongs to the foundation area of the Altzella monastery, on the western border of which it is located. Mobendorf was first mentioned in a document as Obirndorf in 1428. There were several mining attempts that were discontinued due to insufficient yield. The Döringstolln is still accessible today not far from the Wiesenmühle restaurant in the valley of the Große Striegis.

Until the Reformation in 1540, the Altzella monastery was the landlord of the place. Then the village came from the possession of the secularized Altzella monastery into the possession of Ulrich von Mordeisen . After his death, his son Rudolph sold the five inherited villages Berbersdorf , Goßberg , Kaltofen , Mobendorf and Pappendorf in 1587 to Margrave Christian . From then until 1856 the place belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Nossen as an official village . From 1856 Mobendorf belonged to the Hainichen court office and from 1875 to the Döbeln district administration , which was renamed the Döbeln district in 1939. The Ottilienhof Vorwerk was established around 1875 .

With the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the community of Mobendorf was incorporated into the newly founded district of Hainichen in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen from 1990 and in 1994 in the district of Mittweida and 2008 rose in the Central Saxony district.

On January 1, 1994, the community of Mobendorf merged with the communities of Pappendorf (with Kaltofen ), Goßberg and Berbersdorf (with Schmalbach ) to form the community of Striegistal. This in turn merged on July 1, 2008 with the municipality of Tiefenbach to form the new municipality of Striegistal.

Interpretation of the place name

Only in the document from 1447 is the name written according to its meaning. In many localities in the region, Oberdorf refers to the formerly independent farming communities that were geographically higher than the neighboring parish village. Examples are Langhennersdorf , Marbach and Rossau . While these communities grew together, that did not happen with Mobendorf and the parish village of Pappendorf, the origin of the place name was forgotten or interpreted differently. Contrary to scientific findings, this is still published today.
