history

Courtyard in Neukirchen

Neukirchen was first mentioned in the 14th century in 1336 as "Nuenkirchen" and in 1378 as "Nuwenkirchin". Until 1928, the place was divided into a larger Saxon part south of the Hermsbach and a smaller Altenburg and Thuringian part ( exclave ) north of the Hermsbach. The traditional costumes and customs of the Altenburger Land were alive in the village until the 19th century .

Neukirchen (Saxon share)

Church of Neukirchen

The larger, Saxon part of Neukirchen was south of the Hermsbach. In addition to the church and the school, it consisted of four tensioning goods, six hand goods, a garden property, an inn and three houses. The 13th century church of Neukirchen reflected the complicated political situation in the region around Oberwiera. While Neukirchen was politically divided between the Electorate of Saxony and the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg , the inhabitants of both parts belonged to a parish which was in the Saxon part and was administered by the Schönburg ephoral office in Glauchau . The pastor, in turn, was appointed by the ducal ministry of Altenburg for Niederwiera in Altenburg, with which Neukirchen had a sister church relationship since the dissolution of the Remse monastery in the course of the Reformation in 1533.

Neukirchen (Saxon share) came in 1543 as the former property of the Remse Monastery, which was dissolved in the course of the Reformation in 1533, through purchase to the Lords of Schönburg . Since then the place has belonged as an official village to the Schönburg rule of Remse , which, however, was under Wettin suzerainty as a feudal rule . As part of the administrative reorganization of the Kingdom of Saxony, Neukirchen (Saxon Ant.) Was subordinated to the Zwickau district directorate as part of the Schönburg feudal lordship of Remse in 1835. The feudal lordship of Remse and its locations has since been administratively administered by the royal Saxon office of Zwickau .

From 1856 Neukirchen (Saxon Ant.) Belonged to the Remse court office and from 1875 initially to the Zwickau administration . After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Neukirchen (Saxon Ant.), Which at that time had 76 inhabitants, with the entire former judicial district of Remse, came to the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 . Since 1903, the students from the Saxon part no longer went to school in Altenburg's Niederwiera, but in the Saxon Oberwiera.

The smaller, Altenburg part of Neukirchen was enclosed as an exclave by the Saxon or Schönburg area north of the Hermsbach. It comprised an inn, two tensioning goods, six hand goods and two houses. The inhabitants belonged to the church on the Saxon side. The pupils of the Altenburg part went to school in Niederwiera .

Neukirchen (Altenburg. Share) has been paying its duties and taxes to the Wettin office of Altenburg since the time of the division of Altenburg in 1445 , which was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies from the 16th century onwards due to several divisions in the course of its existence : Duchy of Saxony ( 1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826).

When the Ernestine Duchies were reorganized in 1826, Neukirchen (Altenburg. Share) again became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, the town, which had 65 inhabitants around 1880, belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). Neukirchen (Altenburg. Share) belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg from 1918 , which was merged with the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 the place came to the district of Altenburg .

History of Neukirchen since 1928

In 1928 there was an exchange of territory and a border adjustment between the Free State of Saxony and the State of Thuringia. In the Thuringian-Saxon State Treaty of December 7, 1927, the territories that changed countries were set in advance. The draft law dates from March 15, 1928. As a result, the part north of the Hermsbach, which had previously been completely enclosed by Saxon territory as a Thuringian exclave, was completely assigned to Saxony and combined with the Saxon part to form the municipality of Neukirchen.

On July 1, 1950, Neukirchen was incorporated into the municipality of Oberwiera and now represents one of the six ears of corn in the municipality's coat of arms. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Neukirchen became part of the municipality of Oberwiera in 1952 to the Glauchau district in the Chemnitz district (1953 renamed the district of Karl-Marx-Stadt ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Glauchau from 1990 and merged in 1994 in the district of Chemnitzer Land and in 2008 in the district of Zwickau. The milking house was converted into a community center in 1987.
