geography
location
The extended Gassendorf lies on a ridge south of the Zwickauer Mulde that extends approximately in an east-west direction. The western slope of the ridge drops steeply to the Bockwaer Senke and is called "Switzerland". In Oberhohndorf there are other settlements that were built in the 19th century and were named "America" and "Tyrol" according to their architectural style.

history
Oberhohndorf was first mentioned in a document in 1219 as "Hoendorf". In that year, the Margrave of Meissen , Dietrich the Oppressed , relocated the Cistercian monastery from Zwickau to Eisenberg . In this context, the Gassendorf Hoendorf , which is under the jurisdiction of Zwickau, was mentioned, as it had to surrender its tithe to the Cistercian convent Eisenberg . In 1273 the city gave Judge Henry Roßmarkt with seigniorial permit the upper half of the town, along with the case lying forest the Cistercian - grünhain abbey . Roßmarkt left the remaining part of his property in Hoendorf to Burgrave Meinher zu Meißen in 1278. As a result, the residents of the village no longer had to pay the grain, barley and oats to the Grünhain monastery, but rather to the pastor in the Grünhain monastery to the neighboring town of Bockwa and to the Zwickau office. In 1289 the Grünhain monastery received full jurisdiction over Hoendorf. This was confirmed again in 1310. In the following time, Hoendorf was called "Oberhohndorf" and that was called " Niederhohndorf " to better distinguish the Hoendorf north of Zwickau .
After the dissolution of the Grünhain monastery in the course of the Reformation , the lordly, electoral Saxon office of Grünhain was formed from its possessions in 1533 . The villages around Zwickau were detached from this in 1536 and added to the Zwickau district as official villages. Also in 1533 Oberhohndorf was parish off to Bockwa . The Röhrensteg between Oberhohndorf and Schedewitz was first mentioned in the same year . This covered wooden bridge, which brought drinking water from the Reinsdorfer Grund over the Zwickauer Mulde to Zwickau in wooden pipelines , was torn away in 1546 by an ice drive. It has existed in its current form since 1790. In 1830 the new Wildenfelser Strasse was built through the town.
Until 1856, Oberhohndorf belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau . In 1856 the place came to the Zwickau court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administration . In the 19th century Oberhohndorf was a center of the Zwickau coal mining area . After the turn of the century, most of the shafts gradually closed. As the last hard coal works on Oberhohndorfer Flur, the Zwickau-Oberhohndorfer hard coal mining association stopped the production in 1936. Oberhohndorf received a volunteer fire brigade in 1874 and a new school in 1899.
With the dissolution of the municipality of Bockwa on April 1, 1939, ordered by the Reich Governor of Saxony , the municipality of Oberhohndorf received the lower part of this municipality, called "Altbockwa", which is located east of the Zwickauer Mulde. This extends from the land border with Oberhohndorf to the Schmelzbach including the Bockwaer Friedhof to the middle of the Zwickauer Mulde.
On January 1, 1944, the municipality of Oberhohndorf, which had around 4500 inhabitants at that time, was incorporated into the independent city of Zwickau. Through the second district reform in the GDR , Oberhohndorf came to the Chemnitz district in 1952 as part of the independent city of Zwickau (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). As part of the Saxon district reform in 2008 , the town of Zwickau, which has been in the Free State of Saxony since 1990, was incorporated into the Zwickau district, which means that the Oberhondorf district is now also in the Zwickau district. The part of Bockwa that was once incorporated into Oberhohndorf forms its own district within the city of Zwickau.
History of coal mining in Oberhohndorf
The hard coal finds in Oberhohndorf were first documented in writing in 1348. The next evidence comes from the 16th century. In 1525, Duke Johann von Sachsen issued a mining prescription for Martin Römer , a citizen of Zwickau, about a mine in Hoendorf near Zwickau. In 1530 further hard coal deposits were found on Oberhohndorfer Flur . In 1532 the first coal regulations came into force.
The coal mining had a decisive influence on the development of the place in the following centuries. The hard coal was won by "coal farmers" in open pit and underground mining in the winter when the field work was idle. The farmers were enfeoffed with coal justice by the city of Zwickau.
Due to the location on the ridge, the Oberhohndorfer mines were able to extract the coal without expensive dewatering , the mine water flowed over the Bockwa-Hohndorfer main adit and the Gnaspe or Knaspestolln into the Zwickauer Mulde . In spite of this, the mining industry had already penetrated under the tunnel sole in 1826 , so that the first steam engine in the Zwickau district was installed on the “Junge Wolfgang” shaft . It served at the same time for coal extraction and mine drainage. In 1830 the first four coke ovens in the Zwickau district were built in Oberhohndorf.
The most important Oberhohndorfer hard coal works in the 19th and 20th centuries were the Zwickau-Oberhohndorfer hard coal mining association with the Wilhelm shafts, the Oberhohndorfer Schader hard coal mining association with the Hermann, Augustus and Schader shafts, and the Friedrich Ebert Erben hard coal works in the far east of the community and the Oberhohndorfer Forst-Steinkohlenbauverein with the forest shaft on the Muldenufer, just a little east of the new Schedewitzer bridge. The Oberhohndorf-Reinsdorfer Coal Railway was set up on May 10, 1858 to remove the coal mined there . In 1858 and 1859, the company built the Oberhohndorf-Reinsdorfer coal railway, an industrial line that began at the Schedewitz transfer station (today's area of the Zwickau town hall and the Glück-Auf-Center) and, regardless of the steep terrain, led to the shafts at Oberhohndorf and Reinsdorf .
At the beginning of the 20th century, most of the shafts gradually closed and profitable operation of the coal railway was no longer possible. As the last hard coal works on Oberhohndorfer Flur, the Zwickau-Oberhohndorfer hard coal mining association stopped the production in 1936. On December 31, 1939, the company dissolved. The tracks and vehicles of the Oberhohndorf-Reinsdorfer coal railway were transferred to the Deutsche Reichsbahn , which continued to operate the route network as the Reinsdorfer industrial railway . The area of the forest shaft was overturned by the dump belonging to the Erzgebirgisches Steinkohlen-Actien-Verein . This dump extends on the north side along Wildenfelser Straße and blocks the view of the city of Zwickau. In total there were well over 23 shafts in Oberhohndorf. The dumps were greened in the 1970s.
The industrial utilization of coal gave rise to new industries, and the mining entrepreneur Florentin Kästner founded the Kaestner porcelain factory in Oberhohndorf in 1882 .
The history of the Oberhohndorfer hard coal mining is illustrated by the mining educational trail from Schedewitz – Oberhohndorf , which was laid out and maintained by the Zwickau hard coal mining association .

The federal highway 93 runs to the west of Oberhohndorf . This is connected via the "Wildenfelser Straße" through Oberhohndorf with the federal motorway 72 , exit "Zwickau-Ost".
At the time of hard coal mining in Oberhohndorf, the place was connected to the rail network via the Oberhohndorf-Reinsdorfer coal railway , which was later continued as the Reinsdorfer Industriebahn . Only goods traffic took place on this route.
