history
overview
The first documented form of place name dates from 1663 as Oberseyffenbach . In 1665, the first nine Seiffen residents settled in the Oberseiffenbach area, they were cottagers . The official founding of the village took place on June 25, 1667. As a result of the Reformation , the inhabitants belonged to the parish Neuhausen, in 1867 they were parish in Seiffen in the newly formed parish. The settlement around the Oberlochmühle grinding mill also belonged to the place .
A school was first mentioned in 1730, a new school building was built in 1878. At the beginning of the 18th century, as in neighboring Seiffen, the manufacture of wooden toys took place .
August Schumann describes Nieder- and Oberseiffenbach together in the State Lexicon of Saxony in 1820. Concerning the branches of business he mentions u. a .:
"The food branches of the inhabitants are [...] wood turning (especially useful tools, capstans, wagon racks, etc.) and sponge making [...] along with forest work, lace making and flax spinning . Some of the local woodturners have turned their lathe on the water. "
The largest company in the toy industry was the toy and wooden goods factory founded in 1850 by Samuel Friedrich Fischer. Parts of it that have been preserved are placed under monument protection in the 21st century.
In 1936 a cemetery chapel shown at the 1936 Reichsgartenschau in Dresden was moved to the Oberseiffenbach cemetery.
On April 1, 1939, Oberseiffenbach was incorporated into Seiffen, while Oberlochmühle was reclassified to Deutschneudorf.
Before 1939, a country home for the secondary school for women in Leipzig was built in the village . During the Second World War, the school complex served as accommodation for the children's home of the Nazareth Sisters in Goppeln . In the GDR era, the building was again a children's home, but it was closed in 1984/85. After 1990 the local government had it demolished.
