history
Zschöppichen was first mentioned in a document in 1350 as the property of the Knights of Wolkenburg and was named as a knight's seat in 1445. In the middle of the 15th century, Zschöppichen came to the von Stockhausen family and from there to the von Schönberg family by inheritance . The name Neusorge was coined by the von Schönberg family, who built the Neusorge Castle in place of the castle after a fire in 1579 . In 1610, Neusorge was sold to the Elector Christian II of Saxony. The manor with the associated places was thus affiliated to the Augustusburg office in 1610. The two official areas were territorially separated by the offices of Lichtenwalde and Frankenberg-Sachsenburg .
After the administration of the formerly independent Lichtenwalde office was transferred from the Frankenberg-Sachsenburg office to the Augustusburg office in 1783 , the area of the Neusorge manor was territorially connected to the Augustusburg core area via the Lichtenwalde office. In 1832, the places under the administration of the Neusorge manor were assigned to the Frankenberg-Sachsenburg office, only the Neusorger part of Erlau came to the Rochlitz office .
