history
.jpg)
In the 12th century, farmers built a forest hoof village as the forerunner of the city . According to legend, the city got its name after a merchant Ranius and an inscription on his grave "Edda Ranio" (ie Edda dem Ranius). In 1286 the place was first mentioned as a city in 1292. Excavations have shown that Oederan has existed since at least the first half of the 13th century. The most important trades since the Middle Ages were cloth making (1457) and linen weaving (1507). In 1583 the city was granted the privilege of being a "Free Mining City " from Elector August I of Saxony . The place belonged from 1590 to the office of Augustusburg .
In Oederan in 1529, six cases of witchcraft and sorcery are documented in the witch hunts. At least one woman was executed in the witch trials , some fates are unknown. In the districts of Schönerstadt and Gahlenz , six people got into witch trials in 1529–1678, two died in torture and two were expelled from the country.
On the Udohöhe near Schönerstadt (496 m above sea level), a first-order station of the Royal Saxon Triangulation , a surveying column, was built in the 1860s , which is still there today.
Towards the end of the Second World War in September 1944, a women's subcamp of the Flossenbürg concentration camp was set up in the vicinity of today's threading company "Sewing Thread" , in which more than 500 Jewish women and girls were forced to work in a sub-plant of Auto Union AG Chemnitz (code name: Agricola GmbH) had to perform. They were deported from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Oederan and previously passed mostly through the Łódź ghetto , Theresienstadt and the Płaszów concentration camp . On April 14, 1945, the women are evacuated in cattle wagons towards Bohemia and, after a long odyssey in Theresienstadt, liberated by the Red Army.

- The name of the social democratic and later communist city councilor Johannes Mosch , who was tortured to death by the Gestapo in 1944, was the name of the city's cultural center during the GDR era

Infrastructure
traffic
Oederan has a train station on the Dresden – Werdau railway line (part of the Saxony-Franconia main line ) . This is served every hour by the RB line 30 Dresden - Zwickau .
Chemnitz Hbf can be reached in 22 minutes, Dresden Hbf in 54 minutes and Zwickau Hbf in 58 minutes.
The city owes its mayor Franz Messerschmied to its mayor, Franz Messerschmied, that the railway line between Chemnitz and Freiberg runs via Oederan (although it was the most unfavorable option at the time) and not via Frankenberg and Hainichen. His tough fight, also as a member of the state parliament, culminated in a vote by the state parliament in 1864, in which it was decided with 46 to 32 votes for Oederan. Frankenberg and Hainichen were compensated with a branch line.
In addition, the federal highway 173 runs through Oederan, via which one reaches Chemnitz (22 km) in the west and Freiberg (15 km) and Dresden (50 km) in the east . On the A4 motorway , runs Hainichen or Frankenberg / Sa. , you can reach the city within half an hour.
