Reinsberg is a municipality in the district of central Saxony , about 35 km west of Dresden , near the cities of Freiberg and Meißen . The nine districts of the municipality with 3,000 inhabitants are located east of the Freiberg Mulde in the center of the Free State of Saxony . With the establishment of the Altzella monastery in the middle of the 12th century and silver ore discoveries around Freiberg, the rural settlement areas emerged.

history

Reinsberg Castle, 2009

Reinsberg originated in the 12th century. The establishment of the place is connected with the establishment of the Altzelle monastery built by Cistercian monks and the discovery of silver ores in the Freiberg area . From 1168 onwards, most of the village settlements were created in this region.

The silver mining and the settlement by Franconian farmers at the time of the high medieval country development shaped the place. They set up settlements in the form of row villages with Waldhufen ( Waldhufendörfer ), estate blocks and Franconian four-sided farms . Around 1550 there were 47 " possessed men " (landowners) and 52 residents in Reinsberg. At that time the place consisted of 28 hooves in terms of size (in Saxony there were 12, 15, 18, 24 and 30 acre hooves, with the acreage being 5,534,230 m²).

At the Freiberger trough that emerged Burg Reinsberg . As early as 1197, the district of Reinsberg was the seat of a knightly noble family of the same name, as can be seen today in the castles in Reinsberg and Bieberstein as well as several manors. The ideal location for medieval conditions, the steep slope above the Bobritzsch , which is difficult to access , was probably the reason for a German knight by the name of Reinhard to establish the permanent seat of Regensberg (later Reinsberg). To protect the villages and to secure the tithe income of the margraviate of Meissen and the diocese , noble families in the region were enfeoffed with mansions that built castles as residences. The castle name thus became the name of the place Reinsberg and the Reinsberg family . In the 14th century, the Reinsbergers lost ever larger parts of their ancestral home, including part of the village of Reinsberg. These shares were acquired by the von Schönbergs, in part through other sexes .

Finally, in 1411, the von Schönberg family acquired the rest of the headquarters from the Reinsbergers. The castle passed into their possession. After that, the von Schönbergs resided at Reinsberg Castle and the extensive rulership that went with it for over 500 years. The von Schönberg influence extended from the Meißner Land to the Ore Mountains . In 1572 the property in Oberreinsberg was divided with the Reinsberg Castle and Niederreinsberg with the Niederreinsberg manor.

The place name "Reinsberg" has changed several times in the course of its history and there were different spellings. The following spellings have been handed down from historical sources:

  • 1197: Reinhardus de Regensberg
  • 1198: Regensburch
  • 1205: Regenstein
  • 1219: Regensberg
  • 1255: Regensberc, Reinsberc
  • 1350: Reinsperg
  • 1378: Reynsberg
  • 1428: Rensperg
  • 1485: Reinsperg
  • 1551: Nider-, Ober-Reynsperk
  • 1791: Ober- and Nieder-Reinsberg are two special Güther
  • 1875: Reinsberg (Nieder- and Ober-)

Ober- and Niederreinsberg as well as the Wolfsgrün in the corridor of Oberreinsberg belonged to the Electoral Saxon and Royal Saxon District Office of Meißen until 1836 . From 1836 the places with the manorial rule Reinsberg briefly belonged to the Freiberg district office . In 1856 Reinsberg was incorporated into the Nossen court office and in 1875 the Meißen administration . At that time, Drehfeld was politically part of the Reinsberg. When the empire was founded in 1871, the population had increased to 893 inhabitants.

With the expansion of the Potschappel – Wilsdruff narrow-gauge railway to Nossen in 1898, the Dittmannsdorfer Bach valley was connected to the later Wilsdruffer network of Saxon narrow-gauge railways . The following stations emerged in the area of ​​today's municipality of Reinsdorf:

  • District Dittmannsdorf: stations Oberdittmannsdorf and Niederdittmannsdorf
  • District Reinsberg: stations Oberreinsberg and Niederreinsberg
  • Bieberstein district: Obergruna –Bieberstein station

The Oberdittmannsdorf stop became a separation station after the First World War , where the 1921–1923 line to Klingenberg-Colmnitz branched off , which had connections to Frauenstein and the standard-gauge Dresden – Werdau railway at Klingenberg-Colmnitz station . Passenger traffic took a back seat to freight traffic, which was ultimately discontinued in 1972. Parts of the former route were expanded as a hiking trail after the political change in the GDR .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Reinsberg came to the Freiberg district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Freiberg district of Saxony from 1990 . On March 1, 1994, the communities of Bieberstein , Dittmannsdorf , Neukirchen and Reinsberg were merged to form the new community of Reinsberg. The districts of Reinsberg and Drehfeld have since formed one of five localities in the municipality of Reinsberg.

In 1998 an administrative community was formed with the city of Siebenlehn . After the administrative community of Reinsberg-Siebenlehn was dissolved in 2003, the heavily indebted town of Siebenlehn was incorporated as a district into the previous municipality of Großschirma on September 1, 2003 , which was thus granted town charter. It was the first incorporation of a city into a municipality in Saxony.

The municipality of Reinsberg has been part of the Central Saxony district since 2008.

Culture and sights

Buildings

The most famous buildings in the community are the castles of Reinsberg and Bieberstein .

The church in Reinsberg is said to have been a pilgrimage church (place of grace) in which, according to a letter from the College of Cardinals in Rome , 100 days of indulgence were promised to those who went to the church on the first of the month ( Latin : Kalendae ) to pray and make sacrifices .

In addition, regional historical references have the church in Neukirchen, where Kunz von Kauffungen is said to have found his final resting place after his beheading, the war mill in Steinbach and the village church in Dittmannsdorf. From 1960 to 1998 the only remaining bell (cast year 1518) of the old Frauenkirche in Dresden, which is now part of the ringing of the Frauenkirche again, was part of its ringing.

The BadePark Reinsberg was built in 1978 by VEB Gaskombinat Schwarze Pump as an outdoor pool for holiday guests at Schloss Reinsberg. The timelessly modern architecture was designed by students at the Bauhaus Weimar and encompasses a modern bathing area. The bath park should therefore be unique in the bathing landscape. It borders directly on the Lindenallee and the Grave Tour , a hiking trail with historical mining history in the nature reserve of the same name between Reinsberg and Krummenhennersdorf .

The almost completely preserved daytime facilities at the IVth Lichtloch of the Rothschönberger Stolln are also reminiscent of the nearby Freiberg mining industry . Consisting of shaft building , Huthaus , Mountain carpentry, Bergschmiede (only foundation remains available) existing and Powder Tower, and asked a listed building complex provides an insight into the state of Saxony ore mining in the second half of the 19th century.

Memorials

A grave slab by the painter Hellmuth Rudolph on a grave site in the cemetery in the Neukirchen district commemorates a column of several hundred concentration camp prisoners on a death march in March 1945, six of whom remained murdered and were buried here.

Economy and Infrastructure

Around 200 companies and traders are based in Reinsberg. A locational advantage of the community is the proximity to the Nossen motorway triangle and the good connection to the cities of Dresden , Chemnitz and Leipzig . The federal highway 14 with the junction Nossen Ost is two kilometers away, the distance to the junction Siebenlehn of the federal highway 4 is four kilometers.
