history
The original village with Waldhufenflur emerged as part of the settlement of the region around the middle of the 12th century. A few years later, in connection with the mining, which was not documented until 1346, the planned city was built. In 1370 the place, whose name means seven fiefs , received town and market rights . In 1388 Sybenlehn is referred to as a town and market, in 1449 as " Stetelin " at the Freiberg district office in the Erzgebirge district . From 1439 Siebenlehn had its own parish after the church had been a branch church of Nossen up to that point . In 1552 the lordship was over Siebeln with 74 possessed men, 1 house owner and 85 residents at the Altzelle monastery . In 1723 Siebenlehn was named as an official town in the Nossen office .
After the white bakers and butchers had gained supra-local importance in the Middle Ages, the shoemaker's trade, which was oriented towards exports, gained great importance from the 18th century . The Siebenlehn bakers are said to have invented a famous Christmas specialty, the Christstollen . The “Christmas bread” often appears in early modern sources as a gift presented to the Nossen bailiff. During the Thirty Years' War they supplied the city of Meissen, which was besieged by the Swedes. As a result, the recipe for the Christstollen came to Dresden, from where it began its triumphal march. Since around 1600 "wax beating" has been practiced mostly as a sideline . Siebenlehn was an important center of the wax trade in Saxony. So-called "Wraas" (leftover wax and old honeycombs ) were processed into golden yellow wax.
Administratively, the town of Siebenlehn and the neighboring town of Breitenbach belonged to the Nossen district until 1856, to the Nossen district court from 1856 and to the Meißen district administration from 1875 . In 1913, Breitenbach was incorporated.
After the Second World War, there were around 2,860 residents in Siebenlehn (1946, 1950) due to the influx of around 500 displaced persons . After the second GDR district reform in 1952 , Siebenlehn came to the Freiberg district in the Karl-Marx-Stadt district . With the political change in 1989/1990, the number of residents fell to around 1,900 due to emigration . On January 1st, 1994 Obergruna was incorporated , in 1998 an administrative community was formed with Reinsberg and in 2003 the administrative community Reinsberg-Siebenlehn was dissolved . On September 1, 2003, the heavily indebted city of Siebenlehn was incorporated as a district into the previous municipality of Großschirma, which was thus granted city rights. It was the first incorporation of a city into a municipality in Saxony. Siebenlehn has been part of the Central Saxony district since 2008.
