history
Older story
In 1264 a document named Fridericus de Penic. This document is the first written evidence of Penig's existence. No document has survived about the formation of the community. Sometimes the chronicle of Thietmar von Merseburg (from 1012 to 1018) is mentioned. The Wissepnig mentioned there is interpreted as Penig. There is currently no conclusive evidence for this assignment; it has been rejected by scientists. The oldest history of Penig will have been similar to that of Rochlitz : With the inclusion of an older Sorbian settlement, a town gradually developed in the course of the German East Settlement .
In 1313 Penig was first referred to as a city (in opido Penik). The location on the old salt and trade route from Halle (Saale) to Prague and on a basin crossing was favorable for the development of the city . In 1323 the burgrave of Leisnig , Otto I, is mentioned as lord of the settlement. The old castle was probably built around this time. Crafts and trades developed early. The shoemakers formed the first guild in 1353. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the pottery guild gained special importance. The so-called Peniger stoneware was of high artistic quality and was widely exported. Traditional beer brewing also had an old tradition. For beer storage were 1511 basement mountains created today touristy serviced underground duct system.
In 1527, Burgrave Hugo von Leisnig issued a guild letter to the Peniger weavers. His son-in-law was Ernst II von Schönburg zu Glauchau and Waldenburg. In 1538, after the Leisnig burgraves had died out, the Penig rule fell to the Wettins, who in 1543 enfeoffed the Schönburg family with them. A woman was executed during the witch hunts in Penig in 1558; the fate of the accused in 1542 is unknown. In 1693 Juliane Catharina von Schönburg, wife of the sovereign, got into a witch trial because her husband wanted a divorce because of a lover.
Historical forms of the name, origin and meaning of the name
The following spellings can be found in documents: 1264 Penic, 1313 Penig, Penick, in oppido Penik, 1314 Penig, 1351/58 Penik, Penyk, 1382 Penek, 1486 zcu Penick, 1546 de Benyck, Benick, Benig.
Ernst Eichler and Hans Walther lead the name back to the Old Sorbian Pěnik to pěna foam, spray . Penig therefore means settlement by the foaming water . The interpretation is obvious, as the old town is surrounded on three sides by the Zwickauer Mulde, which has a steep gradient here.
From the 19th century to the present
The Weißesspitze monument, located between Penig and America above the north bank of the Mulde, commemorates the fighting from October 6th to 9th, 1813 in the run-up to the Battle of Leipzig . The Austrian vanguard of the army under Prince Schwarzenberg met the French-flagged Polish corps of Marshal Poniatowski , who covered the retreat of Marshal Murat von der Zschopau . Heavy firefights around the Penig Mulden crossing lasted until October 9, around 3 p.m. and ended when the Napoleonic forces surrendered the Mulden crossing. There were over 1,200 dead and wounded on both sides. The memorial was erected in 1838 on the 25th anniversary of the battle.
Industrialization began at the beginning of the 19th century . It affected two of the city's traditional economic sectors: hand-made paper production began in the city as early as 1537, and in 1835 Ferdinand Flinsch introduced industrial paper production with an English paper machine. This paper mill, later widely known as "Peniger Patent Papiere" , still exists today as a company of Technocell Dekor.
The other branch of the economy is the Zeugschmiede, founded by Adolph Oeser in 1852, which developed into Maschinenfabrik & Eisengießerei AG by 1890 , traded as VEB Getriebewerk after the Second World War and in 1990 from "A. Friedr. Flender Aktiengesellschaft" (now Flender GmbH ), Bocholt was acquired. After the takeover of Flender by Siemens AG in 2005, the name was changed to Siemens Industriegetriebe GmbH in March 2010.
Another important industry in the city was the textile industry, which came to a complete standstill in the 1990s.
Towards the end of the Second World War, the Penig subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp was set up outside the current district of Langenleuba-Oberhain on the B 95 in the direction of Penig on the site of what is now a riding club for 700 Jewish women prisoners who manufactured aircraft parts from January to April 1945 in the Max- Gehre works , which belonged to Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke AG . Most recently, 14 to 15-year-old girls from Auschwitz concentration camp came to them .
In April 1945, Soviet and American associations met in Penig. The Soviet armed forces advanced from Lunzenau to Alt-Penig, while the US troops advanced from Burgstädt to the Mulde.
The border between Thuringia and Saxony, which today runs on the north-western border of the Penig district, ran through the middle of the Niedersteinbach district until 1952.
Memorials
- Grave site in the cemetery of the Langenleuba-Oberhain district for 14 women prisoners from the subcamp who became victims of forced labor . A memorial at the former location of the subcamp commemorates the women who perished

Buildings
City church “Our Lady on the Mountain” in Penig
Romanesque Church of St. Aegidius
The stately three-storey town hall in the style of the Saxon early Renaissance was built in its main features around 1545.
One of the church buildings is the late Gothic town church "Our Lady on the Mountain" . It first consisted of the burial chapel "Zur Herrlichkeit", built around 1280. From 1476 to 1515, first the tower, then the nave in the late Gothic style was added. The second important church building, the late Romanesque hall church of St. Aegidien (also: St. Egidius), first mentioned in 1157, is the oldest building in the city.
Old and New Penig Castle
The old castle was built as a moated castle around 1300 to 1320 and converted into a castle in the 16th century. In 1355 it was first mentioned as "castrum" (castle). It was a seat of the Burgraves of Leisnig , whose rule began in 1323 with Otto I and ended with Hugo in 1538, when the rule fell to the Wettins, who in 1543 enfeoffed the Schönburg family with them. Wolf II., Lord of Schönburg zu Glauchau and Waldenburg (1532–1581), since 1566 Lord of Penig, Wechselburg and Rochsburg , founded the Lower Line of the Schönburgers. The sons of Wolf III. (1556-1612) founded the branches to Penig-Rochsburg and to Wechselburg. When the Glauchau line died out in 1610, the Glauchau rulership also fell to the Lower Line, with the Penig-Rochsburg branch for Fordglauchau taking over, while the Wechselburg branch owned Hinterglauchau. Until the dissolution of the Count's Schönburg court, whose jurisdiction expired in 1856, the old castle was the seat of jurisdiction. In 1889 Carl Graf von Schönburg-Fordglauchau sold the old and new castles to the Peniger paper factory. Apartments were set up in the old castle. In 2012, the city managed to find an investor for the now decaying Old Palace: Alfred Prince von Schönburg-Hartenstein from Vienna, who had already renovated Stein Castle in Hartenstein , acquired it and has had it renovated since 2014. The castle is to house living and reception rooms, guest rooms and the management of the company's own forest areas around Rochsburg and Penig.

The New Palace is a stately building at the head of the Palace Square. It is in front of the old castle (and was therefore also called the "front castle") and delimits the castle square on the north side. It was built in 1556/57 by Wolf I von Schönburg in the style of the Renaissance and renovated between 1787/90 in the style of Classicism . According to another source, Wolf II von Schönburg-Penig (1532–1581) had the "front castle" built in 1557. An engraving by Georg Hofnagel shows the Renaissance state at that time in 1617. It was a high three-storey building with four gables. The compulsory labor for the classicist castle renovation caused unrest among the peasants in the Penig area, which culminated in the Saxon peasant uprising on August 30, 1790. It was rebuilt or rebuilt in the classicism style without any decorative elements. Since then it has been dubbed the "New Castle".

After the family of Count Carl Heinrich III. von Schönburg-Fordglauchau (1757–1815) moved from Kassel to Penig in 1813 , they lived here in the New Palace. After the death of Count Carl Heinrich III. on April 14, 1815, his younger brother, Count Wilhelm, inherited. However, he died on September 2, 1815 in Wechselburg. The only ten-year-old Alban became an heir. Count Ludwig von Schönburg-Hinterglauchau (1762–1842) took over the management of his legacy as guardian. On November 18, 1823, Alban von Schönburg-Fordglauchau came of age and inherited the lords of Fordglauchau, Penig and Wechselburg. However, they have lived in Wechselburg Castle since its renovation in 1824.
It served as an office building until 1852 and was bought in 1889 by the Flinsch brothers' paper mill for 180,000 marks together with the old castle. The rag sorting room set up in it for the production of paper soon gave the house its name: "Lumpenschloss". Around 1991 it still belonged to VEB Papierfabriken Penig. Over time, the New Palace was and is used in a variety of ways. In 1992 the facade of the castle was renewed. A few years ago it was completely renovated and age-appropriate apartments were created.
The rulers were Baron Wolf II von Schönburg-Penig (1532–1581), owner of the Peniger Palaces and Rochsburg Castle , Baron Wolf III. von Schönburg-Penig (1556–1612), owner of the Peniger Palaces and of Rochsburg and Wechselburg Castle, and Christian von Schönburg-Penig (1598–1664), owner of Wechselburg Castle. August Siegfried von Schönburg-Fordglauchau (1596–1631) also apparently lived in Penig, because he died in Penig after the Battle of Breitenfeld (September 7, 1631) as a result of an injury in 1631.

Others
The big pot at Penig
The original large pot at Penig is said to have been made by the town's potters under the guidance of master potter Hans Weider. According to legend, in 1483 Hereditary Prince Friedrich, the son of the sovereign, wanted to see the pot. He got into the pot and partially destroyed it because one of his companions had removed the ladder. As compensation, he made a generous gift to the potters and they made a new pot. The replica of this pot can be seen today in a green area in the city.
