history

Niederlungwitz Church

The Waldhufendorf Niederlungwitz was first named as Lunckwitz in 1393 . Regarding the manorial rule , the place was divided until the 19th century. The greater part belonged to Amtsdorf to the Glauchau lordship , to the authority of Fordglauchau . Only one building belonged to the Hinterglauchau office . Only a few houses in Niederlungwitz were subordinate to the Callenberg manor , which in turn was under the administration of the Schönburg rule of Waldenburg as a vassal court . From 1750 west of the place the manor Elzenberg was called, which had jurisdiction over goods in Elzenberg, Gesau , Niederlungwitz and Wernsdorf . To this day, Elzenberg forms a separate district of the city of Glauchau as "Elzenbergstrasse" .

Once in the field of Rezessherrschaften Schoenburg an administrative reform was carried out in 1878, Niederlungwitz came with Elzenberg in 1880 for newly established Saxon Amtshauptmannschaft Glauchau .

Through the second district reform in the GDR , Niederlungwitz came to the Glauchau district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued in 1990 as the Saxon district of Glauchau and in 1994 in the Chemnitzer Land district and in 2008 in Zwickau district rose. Niederlungwitz was incorporated into Glauchau on October 3, 1992.
