history

In the past, the hamlet's five farmsteads were laid out in the Feldmark in front of the Kammerforst for economic and agricultural reasons . The first documentary mention took place in 1671. Before that, the Braunis desert (Braunshain) was located here . The village was described as desolate in a fiefdom in 1532. Neubraunshain belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which was under the sovereignty of the Ernestine Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672) at the time of the foundation of Neubraunshain due to several divisions in the course of its existence . Already in the following year 1672 the place came to the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826). When the Ernestine Duchies were reorganized in 1826, Neubraunshain was again part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, the place belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). Coal mining and work in the briquette factories began in the middle of the 19th century . In Neubraunshain, which lies in the northeast of the Meuselwitz-Altenburger brown coal area, the coal was initially mined southwest of the place in civil engineering (Altenburger coal works No. 19, 20, 22 (1865-1958)). Between 1908 and 1910, the "Neubraunshain" opencast mine was active northwest of the town near Waltersdorf .

From 1918 on, Neubraunshain belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg . On July 1, 1950, Neubraunshain was incorporated into Waltersdorf . During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus Waltersdorf and Neubraunshain came to the district Altenburg to the district of Leipzig . On January 1, 1973 Waltersdorf was reclassified with Neubraunshain to Wintersdorf . In the 1980s, the resumption of lignite mining was planned, but this was not carried out. A part of Waltersdorf and the Neubraunshain location should have given way to the planned “Meuselwitz opencast mine” between Meuselwitz and Rositz. In 1990 Neubraunshain came back to Thuringia. The village belonged to the district of Altenburg until 1994, since then to the district of Altenburger Land. With the incorporation of Wintersdorf to Meuselwitz, Neubraunshain has been part of the Wintersdorf district of the city of Meuselwitz since 2007. 34 residents currently inhabit the hamlet.
