history
When describing the district of Burgwards Schönburg belonging to the bishopric of Naumburg / Zeitz , the villages of Ober-, Mittel- and Unter-Possenhain were mentioned in a document from Margrave Dietrich von Landsberg in 1278 . The place name is a combination of two words for ruler and holy grove. He was supposed to point out earlier that a clan leader was resident in the village. After two villages fell into desolation in the late Middle Ages , the remaining town of Possenhain with the villages of Schönburg and parts of Gröbitz and Plotha belonged to the Schönburg office of the Naumburg family .
In 1544 Possenhain came with the office of Schönburg to the newly established Naumburg office of the Naumburg , with which it belonged to the Electorate of Saxony since 1564 and to the Albertine secondary school principality of Saxony-Zeitz between 1656/57 and 1718 .
