geography
Geographical location
The west Saxon community is located on the Pleiße between the cities of Werdau and Crimmitschau , in the west of the Ore Mountains Basin and in the lower Western Ore Mountains. In the municipality heights of up to 330 m above sea level. NN (district Dänkritz) reached. The southwest of the municipality is bounded by the Koberbach dam .
Neighboring communities
Neighboring communities are the city of Crimmitschau, Langenbernsdorf and the city of Werdau in the district of Zwickau and the city of Zwickau .
Community structure
The community is divided into the districts of Neukirchen, Dänkritz and Lauterbach (with Nichzenhain). The district of Neukirchen historically originated from the districts of Schiedel, Culten , Schweinsburg , Kleinhessen, Naundorf, CartHAUS, Döbitzgut and Schellendrei, as well as the Kniegasse (whereby even the elderly and local experts argue where this should have been).
history
Prehistory and early history
The latest excavations in connection with the construction of a bypass road show that there were settlements here as early as the Stone Age.
Funnel-shaped depressions in the floor of the Pleißental filled with charcoal residues still indicate the presence of people as early as the Copper Age (around 3000 BC). Until the 4th century BC BC expanding Germanic tribes displaced these presumably Celtic settlers who lived on agriculture, cattle breeding and hunting. Towards the end of the 6th century AD, the Sorbs finally settled in the densely forested region and began to establish clan villages, including probably the later Neukirchen districts of Culten and Schiedel.
The first mention of the region took place in 973 on the occasion of the gift of the forest between the rivers Saala ( Saale ) and Milda ( depression ) by Emperor Otto II. Beneficiary was bishop Gisiler of Merseburg , which henceforth the government authority over the provinces " Siusuli " and "Plisni" ( Pleißenland ) had.
Chronicle of Neukirchen
Around 1222 the owner of the castle and town of Crimmitschau, Heinrich von Crimmitschau, promised a pilgrimage to Palestine in the "promised land". Bishop Engelhardt von Naumburg advised him not to leave the country in these uncertain times, instead he should better found a monastery. The Augustinian monastery was built in Martinstal near Crimmitschau. The Martinskirche, which already existed at that time, was integrated into the monastery complex. The time when this first Martinskirche was built can no longer be precisely determined. In addition, the church of St. Laurentius in Crimmitschau , the chapel at Schweinsburg Castle and the St. Peter Chapel in (Klein) Bernsdorf were transferred to the monastery . The Augustinian monks were supposed to read mass and do pastoral care in these churches.
In 1478 the monastery was converted into a Carthusian monastery with the approval of Pope Sixtus IV . The initiators of the conversion were the widow of the Saxon Elector Friedrich the Meek , Margarethe , out of gratitude for the salvation of her kidnapped sons and the owner of the town and castle of Crimmitschau, Hans Federangel. Since Carthusian monks do not provide pastoral care, the congregation was no longer allowed to visit the Martinskirche in the monastery district. A new church had to be built. This church was built under Hans Federangel and his successor Kilian Schicker, was consecrated on November 11, 1495 and gave the amalgamation of the places the name Neukirchen used today. The main entrance and the foundation walls of the tower are still preserved today, the dilapidated church building itself was replaced by a larger new building in 1869.
In 1646 some regiments from Electoral Saxony were also stationed in Neukirchen . Four years later, in 1650, after more than 30 years of war , a peace festival was celebrated in Neukirchen on July 22nd.
In 1922 the villages of Naundorf and Schiedel were incorporated into Neukirchen. In 1934 the villages of Kleinhessen, Culten and Schweinsburg were united. The communities Neukirchen and Schweinsburg merged into one large community in 1950. On January 1, 1996, the villages of Lauterbach and Dänkritz were incorporated into Neukirchen.
During the Second World War , around 100 Ukrainian children between the ages of 9 and 14 were imprisoned in today's gym; a memorial stone still commemorates this crime today.
According to the Saxon State Archives, the first documented mention of the place “Nuenkirchen” (sic!) From 1404 does not refer to Neukirchen / Pleiße and the original is no longer available.
Chronicle of the districts
Culten was first mentioned in a document in 1291. In 1547 the Spanish troops belonging to Charles V's army camped near Culten . Today the field names Spaniergrund and Spanierbach remind of the camp. In 1499 the name Schweinsburg ("swinnsburg") was first mentioned as a castle in the town of Crimmitschau. In 1743, the eastern part of Schweinsburg Castle was built from scratch. After the manor was expropriated, the SED district party school was set up in the castle in 1946 .
In 1445 the names Kleinhessen and Kniegasse appear for the first time in a document. In 1600, Kleinhessen was separated from Langenhessen with a manor and parish to Neukirchen. This manor was previously a castle from Schweinsburg. The Kniegasse is now the part of the Wer Dauer Straße between the traffic lights and the Rudelswalder Straße.
Naundorf was first mentioned as a place in 1219. In 1305 the name Schiedel was mentioned for the first time in connection with the castle men from Trütschler "auf Schiedel". They were with the manor and the Vorwerk belehnt Service. Like Culten, Schiedel is also a Sorbian foundation.
The Lauterbach district was first mentioned in the 14th century and includes Nichzenhain . The village was named after the local stream of the same name, which rises in the farming village of Hartmannsdorf to the southeast . Lauterbach is predominantly characterized by dairy farming and agriculture. In the 18th century, the manor in the village was sold to the Esche family of merchants and manufacturers.

Buildings
In 1884 Moritz Samuel Esche built Lauterbach Castle on the site of the old mansion and rebuilt it on behalf of Arnold Esche from 1907-09 according to plans by Henry van de Velde . After the family was expropriated (1948) and used as an apartment building until after the fall of the Wall, the new owners dedicated themselves to a detailed restoration.
The Romanesque church in Lauterbach was significantly rebuilt in the 19th century, and the tower was only given a hood again in 1640 after a fire in 1630.
The baroque Schweinsburg Palace was renovated in 1998 and has been used as a hotel ever since.
The Graefenmühle , a former water mill, was built around 1725 and was in operation until 1992. The completely preserved mill technology dates from the 1930s, a turbine used to generate energy from 1950. Today the building serves as a mill museum.

Economy and Infrastructure
traffic
The community is connected via the state roads S 289 Crimmitschau – Werdau, the S 290 from the Thuringian border near Thonhausen via Dänkritz to Zwickau and the S 294 from Neukirchen to Seelingstädt . The Lauterbach district is on the K 9372 district road from Neukirchen via Dänkritz to the 93 federal road near the Moselle .
With the train station in the district of Schweinsburg-Culten, Neukirchen has a train station on the Leipzig – Hof railway line that is served by regional trains and the S-Bahn from Central Germany . There was a serious railway accident on October 30, 1972 , in which 22 people were killed. Between 1908 and 1963 an industrial railway starting from Crimmitschau opened up the district of Schweinsburg.
Established businesses
A textile industry developed from the clothmaking trade in the municipality of Neukirchen, which developed into the 19th century . The best known company was the Gebr. Wolf yarn factory. After the political change in 1990, all former textile companies were closed.
The largest production plant in the community was a branch of Bosch Thermotechnik GmbH for the manufacture of panel radiators for residential construction. The company emerged from the Mehlhorn Gewächshausbau company, founded in the early 20th century. Nationalized after the Second World War, it traded under the name VEB Metallverarbeitung Neukirchen and was operated by the combine technical building equipment in Leipzig. Due to the promotion of residential construction in the GDR , the company received extensive investments in the mid-1970s, which enabled the construction of high-performance systems for the production of radiators. The branch was closed in 2014.
education
In Neukirchen there is a primary school and the international secondary school (state-recognized substitute school). Together they form the Neukirchen / Pleiße school center.
