Niederschindmaas, entrance to the village

Niederschindmaas was first mentioned in 1237 as "Syndemannsdorff". Around 1418 the place was named as "nidirn Schindemans", in contrast to the neighboring town of Oberschindmaas, called "obir Schindemans" . Around 1519 the spelling “Nider-Schind Maß” is documented, but the spelling “Niederschimnitz” was also used for centuries. Only towards the end of the 18th century or in the 19th century only the current name "Niederschindmaas" occurs. The settlement of Niederschindmaas began in the second half of the 12th century. By order of the Magdeburg Archbishop Wichmann von Seeburg (term of office as Archbishop of Magdeburg from 1154 to 1192), who had to implement the settlement plans of Emperor Friedrich I (Barbarossa) in the area of the Pleiße and the Zwickauer Mulde , the aristocratic families came from the Moselle in the wake and from Schönburg settlers from the Franconian-Thuringian area to the area west of Glauchau .

With regard to the political administration, Niederschindmaas was divided until the 19th century. A small part belonged to the Schönburg dominions . The Schoenburg part of Niederschindmaas belonged in turn to the manorial rule as an official village to the Schoenburg lordship of Glauchau , the Hinterglauchau office and the Thurm manor in the Schoenburg lordship of Lichtenstein .

The greater part of Niederschindmaas with a landless manor belonged to the manor of the manor Mittelmosel in the Electoral Saxon office of Zwickau . Regarding the sovereignty, this part of Niederschindmaas was under the sovereignty of the Zeitz diocese . Thus this local part belonged as an exclave to the Amt Zeitz until 1815 , which as part of the bishopric Naumburg-Zeitz had been under Electoral Saxon sovereignty since 1561 and belonged to the secondary education principality of Saxony-Zeitz between 1656/57 and 1718 . After the defeat of Napoleon and the allied Kingdom of Saxony , the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede a large part of its territory to the Kingdom of Prussia following a resolution by the Congress of Vienna in 1815 . The Zeitz office, to which part of Niederschindmaas belonged, was incorporated into the Prussian province of Saxony . Due to its location in the royal Saxon area, the Niederschindmaas exclave and its associated land remained with the Kingdom of Saxony. The local share was administered by the Zwickau office until 1856. In 1856 the royal Saxon part of Niederschindmaas was affiliated to the Zwickau court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administration . After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of the Schönburg recession in 1878, the Saxon and Schönburg parts of Niederschindmaas came to the newly established Glauchau administration in 1880 .

On August 1, 1973, Niederschindmaas was incorporated into the Dennheritz community. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Niederschindmaas came to the Glauchau district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon Glauchau district from 1990 onwards . In the course of the first Saxon district reform , the community of Dennheritz and its two districts came to the district of Chemnitzer Land on August 1, 1994, but not with the rest of the district of Glauchau , but to the district of Zwickauer Land , which was merged into the district of Zwickau in 2008.
