history
The place is a late founding of the Oelsnitzer manor for his court workers around 1700, originated mostly on the corridors of the desert Mark Wittendorf. The southern part of Neuwiese was called Neuwittendorf for a long time. The first settlers are said to have been forest workers and farm workers of the manor. Schafstegen is the first place name to appear. In 1773 the Lößnitz chronicler Oesfeld reports that the remains of the wall of a submerged village can still be seen in the corridors of the Mark Wittendorf desert . The Neuwittendorf district still exists in the official real estate cadastre of the city of Oelsnitz / Erzgeb.
The name Neuwiese appears for the first time in 1791. Strangely enough, the third place name Schlettheim was added in 1820. While some local researchers suspect a mock name, the word after Hengst (1964) can be derived from Schlete = pole wood or from the Middle High German word, which means something like aisle, clearing or green strip.
Neuwiese consisted of rows of houses with a modest parcel corridor of originally 12 hectares. The place was parish to Oelsnitz, but in 1926 received a small round church (Lutherkirche) belonging to the parish of Oelsnitz, well integrated in the landscape. Due to the development of coal mining, the population of this remote location also increased sharply and doubled in the decades around 1900.
On April 1, 1934, Neuwiese was united with Oberwürschnitz to form the new municipality of Neuwürschnitz , which in turn was incorporated into Oelsnitz on January 1, 1999 .
