history

View of the middle Marbach

Like the surrounding villages, Schmalbach was also founded in the course of the German settlement in the 12th century. Written evidence from the time of settlement is not known. The first documentary evidence comes from the year 1428. Schmalbach has always been parish to Marbach and could have been founded together with this by Tammo von Strehla as early as 1140 on behalf of the Bishop of Meißen .

Schmalbach originally belonged to the Altzella monastery . After the Reformation and the associated secularization of the Altzella monastery in 1540, Schmalbach belonged as an official village to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Nossen until 1856 . From 1856 Schmalbach belonged to the Roßwein court office and from 1875 to the Döbeln administration , which was renamed the Döbeln district in 1939.

Schmalbach was incorporated into Berbersdorf on July 1, 1950. With the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Schmalbach was incorporated as a district of Berbersdorf into the newly founded district of Hainichen in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen from 1990 and in 1994 in the district of Mittweida and In 2008 in the district of Central Saxony.

On January 1, 1994, the Berbersdorf community merged with the Schmalbach district with the Goßberg , Mobendorf and Pappendorf communities (with Kaltofen ) to form the Striegistal community. This in turn merged on July 1, 2008 with the municipality of Tiefenbach to form the new municipality of Striegistal.

Spelling and meaning of the place name

1428 smalbach

1552 Schmalbach

It is a settlement on a small, narrow stream

The water flow of the brook was so little that it was not worth building a water mill. In order to be more independent from the mills in the surrounding area, a windmill that still existed in 1800 was built on a rural plot of land at the highest point of the communal corridor. Today there is a water tank there.

Reports from election books , also called Venetian sagas , should not be placed in the realm of legend . You can still find tiny gold tinsel in Schmalbach today.
