history

Niederwinkel Church
Niederwinkel, source to the golden rooster

The row village Niederwinkel was mentioned in 1460 as "Niderwinckel". However, the place and its church were mentioned as early as 1254 in a document from the Remse monastery . The Niederwinkel church was rebuilt in the 15th century. Before the Reformation it was an independent parish. After the dissolution in the years 1560 to 1563 it belonged to the church of old town Waldenburg.

Ullrichsberg (or Ullersberg), located between Herrnsdorf , Uhlsdorf and Niederwinkel, is one of the earliest mining locations in today's Free State of Saxony. The remains of a pingen field and what is now a desolate settlement of miners were archaeologically dated to the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century in the early 1990s. Mining in the Wolkenburg district was first mentioned in a document in January 1351, when Margrave Friedrich III., The Stringency, reached an agreement with the brothers Volrad and Busso von Colditz about the exercise of minting rights in Wolkenburg. Copper, lead and silver were mined at Ullrichsberg with interruptions until the end of the 18th century. Since 1980, a working group has made two tunnels (Blessing of God near Niederwinkel and St. Anna near Herrnsdorf) accessible to the public as visitor mines. The Segen-Gottes-Zeche is located above the bank of the Mulden. Mining for lead and silver took place with occasional interruptions between 1749 and 1837.

Regarding the manorial rule , Niederwinkel belonged as an official village to the Schönburg rule of Waldenburg until the 19th century . After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of ​​the Schönburg recession in 1878, Niederwinkel joined the newly founded Saxon governorate of Glauchau in 1880 .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the Niederwinkel community 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 and in the Chemnitzer Land district in 1994 and 2008 rose in the district of Zwickau. On July 1, 1992, Niederwinkel was incorporated into Waldenburg.

Attractions

  • Niederwinkel Church

The oldest parts of the church date from the 15th century. The pulpit and the carved altar from the 16th century are worth seeing. This contains the figure of Saint Barbara , venerated as a mining saint , which points to the mining industry on Ullersberg.

  • Blessing-God-Erbstolln

Silver mining has been documented in the Ullersberg mining district , which is part of the Wolkenburg district , since 1345 . Since 1985 the "Segen-Gottes-Erbstolln" in Niederwinkel has been expanded as a monument for historical silver mining. The front part of the Erbstollen is used for public tours down to a depth of 120 m.
