The systematic settlement of Lichtenau began around 1143. 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 . 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. Oberlichtenau was under the manorial rule of the Lichtenwalde manor in the Electoral Saxon Office of 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 . Ecclesiastically the place belongs to the parish Niederlichtenau.
After the end of the Saxon constitution of offices in 1856, Oberlichtenau was under the jurisdiction of the Frankenberg court office . From 1875 the municipality of Oberlichtenau belonged to the Flöha administration and from 1933 to the Chemnitz administration . In 1832 the Chemnitz – Mittweida road via Oberlichtenau was completed. With the opening of the Riesa – Chemnitz railway on September 1, 1852, Oberlichtenau received a station on the local border with Auerswalde, which in 1905 was given a pedestrian crossing. The Oberlichtenau post office was set up as a post office in the station building on May 1, 1872. In 1898 a post office was built and in 1899 a knitting and hosiery factory was opened by Anna and Franz Klingner, which before World War II mainly produced knitted and hosiery goods for the population. The community of Oberlichtenau has had a volunteer fire brigade since 1925. In 1937, the section of today's Federal Motorway 4 , which ran via Oberlichtenauer Flur, was completed . From 1939 onwards, the knitwear and knitwear factory produced almost exclusively socks, underwear and gloves for the Wehrmacht as an "army supplier" .
Between April 15 and April 26, 1945 Oberlichtenau was briefly occupied by American troops until April 7/8. May 1945 Soviet troops took over the administration. After the knitting and hosiery factory was confiscated in 1945, it was expropriated in 1964. The factory operated until 1948 as “ VEB Oberlichtenauer Strickwarenfabrik”, from 1949 as “Olis Strumpfwerke” under the central management of VVB “Trikot”. From 1952 it belonged to the Chemnitz "Venus-Werk" within the VVB "Trikot" (company: "Venus-Werke Chemnitz, VVB Trikot, Werk Oberlichtenau"), in 1953 it was assigned to the "Idealwerk" in Chemnitz, from 1956 the factory was called then “VEB Trikotex Olis Strickwarenfabrik”, from 1957 “Trikotagenwerk Trikotex Wittgensdorf , VVB Trikot branch , production area IV, Oberlichtenau”. In Oberlichtenau, underwear was now predominantly manufactured, and from 1976 the company also included the neighboring Herold shirt factory . In 1988 the "permit production" began for the Schiesser company . After 1989/90 the production machines were modernized and taken over by Schiesser AG, before operations were finally ceased in 1993. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Oberlichtenau first became part of the Flöha district on July 25, 1952 , but became the Chemnitz-Land district in the Chemnitz district on December 4, 1952 (1953 in the Karl-Marx-Stadt-Land and district Karl-Marx-Stadt renamed). The border with the Hainichen district ran north of Oberlichtenau .
In 1990 the municipality of Oberlichtenau 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. The Oli-Park shopping center has been located directly at the Chemnitz-Ost motorway junction in Oberlichtenau since 1991 . In June 2006 the Sonnenland Adventure Park Lichtenau opened on an area of 26.5 hectares between the A 4 and the S 200 to Mittweida . A landmark that can be seen from afar is the large ferris wheel on the edge of the park. The former textile factory in Oberlichtenau was converted into a middle school between 2009 and 2011, which is now called Oberschule Lichtenau .
