history

The systematic settlement of Lichtenau began around 1143. The place Niederlichtenau is said to have originated after 1150. The villages of Oberlichtenau and Niederlichtenau were first mentioned in 1350 in Friedrich des Strengen's book of documents as Lichtenow superiore and Lichtenow inferiore . Also in 1350 a pastor's office was mentioned in Niederlichtenau. At the same time, the place was called Ebershain , which was probably devastated around 1430 by wandering Hussites . The exact location of the desert is unknown.
Niederlichtenau was temporarily under the lordship of the Lichtenwalde manor or, as an official village, directly to the Electoral Saxon Office Lichtenwalde , which was administered from 1696 by the Electoral Saxon Office Frankenberg-Sachsenburg and from 1783 by the Electoral Saxon or later Royal Saxon Office Augustusburg . The Niederlichtenau Vorwerk is mentioned between 1582 and the 18th century. Today only the house near the church remains. The Niederlichtenau church was given its present form in 1754 after extensive construction work. In addition to Niederlichtenau, the parish also includes Oberlichtenau, Merzdorf , Biensdorf and Ortelsdorf . A school building in Niederlichtenau was first mentioned in 1777. Mining has been documented for the 18th century on Niederlichtenau. In the Marienberger Revier in the Freiberg mountain archive, the “God's luck treasure trove” is documented between 1737 and 1738, the exact location of which, however, cannot be determined today. To the north-east of the strawberry settlement on Mittweidaer Strasse, an unsuccessful drilling was carried out on hard coal in 1905 .
After the end of the Saxon constitution of offices in 1856, Niederlichtenau was under the jurisdiction of the Frankenberg court office . From 1875 the municipality of Niederlichtenau belonged to the Flöha administration . In contrast to Oberlichtenau, Niederlichtenau remained with this from 1933, whereas Oberlichtenau and other places belonged to the administrative authority of Chemnitz from 1933 . In 1852 the road from Niederlichtenau to Oberlichtenau station was expanded on the newly opened Riesa – Chemnitz railway line . The community of Niederlichtenau has had a volunteer fire brigade since 1925. In 1937, the section of today's federal motorway 4, running north of Niederlichtenau, was completed . Between April 15 and April 26, 1945 Niederlichtenau was briefly occupied by American troops until April 7th and 8th. May 1945 Soviet troops took over the administration.
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality Niederlichtenau first came to the district of Flöha on July 25, 1952 , but on December 4, 1952 it became the district of Chemnitz-Land in the Chemnitz district (1953 in the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land and district Karl-Marx-Stadt renamed). The border with the Hainichen district ran north of Niederlichtenau . In 1954 Niederlichtenau was hit by a severe flood. On January 1, 1967, Merzdorf was incorporated into Niederlichtenau. This moved from the Hainichen district to the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land district.
On December 13, 1990, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the Lichtenauer Mineralquellen GmbH plant in the floodplain of Zschopau took place. In 1990 the municipality of Niederlichtenau and the Merzdorf district came to the Saxon district of Chemnitz . After its dissolution, the place belonged to the Mittweida district since 1994 , which was added to the central Saxony district in 2008. The communities Oberlichtenau and Niederlichtenau (with the district Merzdorf) merged on January 1, 1994 to form the community Lichtenau. In the course of the municipal reform in Saxony in 1999, the municipalities of Auerswalde , Lichtenau and Ottendorf were merged into a new municipality, the name of which was only determined by a referendum on May 28, 2000 as "Lichtenau"; 51% of those entitled to vote decided on this. In 2002 and 2013 Niederlichtenau was hit again by severe floods.
