Historical
The following older place names are documented:
- 1333 Monstorff
- 1412 Monstorff
- 1539 Maßdorff
- 1551 Moßdorf
- 1791 Mohsdorf
- 1875 Mohsdorf (Moosdorf)
The origin and the original meaning of the name can no longer be determined unequivocally.
In the municipality north of the residential development of Mohsdorf and Schweizerthal, a production site of the Chemnitz VEB Fettchemie , formerly Böhme Fettchemie , has been located in the Chemnitz Valley since 1926 in a former twisting mill. In 1993 the founding family of the Zschimmer & Schwarz group of companies from Chemnitz, expropriated in 1948, took over the plant, where the subsidiary Zschimmer & Schwarz Mohsdorf GmbH & Co. KG now produces textile auxiliaries and phosphonates with more than 150 employees .
A memorial plaque in the Chemnitz valley commemorates seven Mohsdorf residents who were killed in the Cavalese cable car accident in 1998 .
In 2007 Mohsdorf celebrated its 700th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of the school's construction.
Sports
The Mohsdorf gymnastics club, founded in 1879, had 140 members on its 25th anniversary. It was banned by the National Socialists in 1934. In 1948, the BSG Chemie Mohsdorf was created under the sponsorship of VEB Fettchemie . On June 27, 1990, the "Grün-Weiß" Mohsdorf eV was founded to practice sport and continued the sporting tradition. The association suffered a heavy loss when seven members were killed in the cable car accident in Cavalese in February 1998 .
Today "Grün-Weiß" has around 160 members who work in football, skiing, dancing and volleyball. There is also a cheerleading department that trains as "Dancing Leaves" for performances and competitions.
Regular sporting events are the village sports festival (usually the 2nd weekend in June) and the "run of unity" on October 3rd. Further information can be found on the website.
