Ringethal was first mentioned in a document in 1217. Later place names are "Ringenhagen" / "Ringenthal" (1221), "Ringintal" (1314), "Ringental" (1350) and "Ringethal" (1758 and 1875). The small rule of Ringethal came into being at the end of the 12th century. Originally, the manor house was located as the Ringethal hermitage on a rocky spur of the Arnsberg. In 1315 Lewenhain Castle (also known as the “Robbery Ringethal”) was built on the steep banks of the Zschopau. Later the mansion was moved to the valley next to the existing farm buildings, where the Fliehburg was also located in the island pond. In 1450 the Lords of Hain (also known as von Hahn / von Hayn) finally moved their residence to the valley and built the Ringethal moated castle on the banks of the Zschopau.
In the 14th century, in addition to the Ringethal knight's seat, the places Ringethal, Falkenhain , Hermsdorf and Erlebach (until 1606) belonged to the manor. As an exclave belonging to the Freiberg district office, it was located between the offices of Rochlitz and Nossen and was owned by various noble families. Under the von Poigk family, the castle was rebuilt and expanded into a late baroque castle in 1742. Since then it has consisted of two upper floors and a mansard roof. In 1789 the castle of Christoph Friedrich von Flemming passed to the Baroness von Racknitz. From 1861 to 1935 the von Schroeter family is recorded as the owner of the Ringethaler Schloss. Under Hermann von Schroeter, the Weißthal Bridge was built over the Zschopau in 1861. A school in Ringethal was first mentioned in 1661. New schools were built in 1672 and 1749. The “old school”, which was located opposite the former train station at Hauptstrasse 24, was used until the “Schule am Berg” (Hauptstrasse 17) was built in 1869. This school on the Kirchenweg to Hermsdorf was built on the site of the church. Structural extensions to this building were carried out in 1882 and 1923.
In 1832, the three places of the Ringethal rule were separated from the Freiberg district office and placed under the Frankenberg-Sachsenburg office. The offices were dissolved during the administrative reforms carried out in the Kingdom of Saxony in the 19th century . As a result, Ringethal came under the administration of the Mittweida court office in 1856, and in 1875 under the newly established Rochlitz administration .
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the neighboring town of Falkenhain was incorporated into Ringethal on January 1, 1952 and both were incorporated into the Hainichen district in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen from 1990 onwards . Since 1951, the main building of the castle has been increasingly used for school operations. Since 1957, handicraft lessons have been held in the castle cellar for the craftsmen of the Weißthal spinning mill. After the state had acquired the castle in 1958, the “Central School Ringethal” was set up in the main building, which in 1961 was renamed “Oberschule Ringethal”. Grades 1 to 4 stayed at the "Schule am Berg" until 1992. The former stable building of the castle was converted between 1959 and 1961 into a kindergarten that still exists today. The "Oberschule Ringethal" was renamed on October 7, 1978 in "Käthe-Kollwitz-Oberschule". After the closure of the "Schule am Berg" school in 1992, the pupils in grades 5 to 10 had to go to Mittweida for lessons. Grades 1 to 4 remained in the school in the listed castle until the primary school closed in 1996.
With the administrative reform that took place in 1994, Ringethal and Falkenhain were incorporated into the town of Mittweida and allocated to the newly formed Mittweida district. Due to the main statute of the city of Mittweida from 1994, the current districts of Ringethal and Falkenhain received a joint local constitution and a joint local council. Since 2008, the city of Mittweida and its districts have been part of the newly formed Central Saxony district.

Economy and Transport

As the only Saxon village, Ringethal did not have a farm until 1935.
Up until the 19th century, Ringethal farmers and traders had to take long and arduous routes through the fords of the Zschopau or over the wooden bridge in Neudörfchen to get to the market in Mittweida. Passenger traffic took place via the Ringethaler mill ferry. It was only with the construction of the bridge from Ringethal to Weißthal that the route into the city became easier. This was created in 1861 at the instigation of the Ringethal manor owner Schroeter, in order to better connect the so-called “water villages” with Mittweida. The new Zschopau Bridge was built in 1999 as a prestressed concrete bridge. It is decorated with a sculpture by the builder of the first bridge, the manor owner Schroeter.
In 1909 Ringethal became an end point of the Mittweida industrial railway . From January 25, 1909, a branch line ran from the Mittweida industrial railway station downriver, first on the left and then on the right bank of the Zschopau and reached the end point of Ringethal after a 4.5 km journey. Between 1942 and 1955 there was occasional passenger traffic on the route. Because of the missing superstructure and the threat of rockfalls, the Ringethal freight yard was last operated on August 31, 1969.
