history
An urn grave discovered in 1839 in the Stenner Flur is evidence of Bronze Age settlement activity. Among other things, an approximately 70 cm long bronze sword and bronze rings were found. During the German settlement in the east , Stenn was laid out as a Waldhufendorf and was mentioned in a document in 1386 in connection with a personal name (vom) Steynen . Later forms of the place name were (zcu) Steinen (1421), Steyn (1460) and already in 1532 Stenn . The first church dedicated to St. Leonhard is said to have been built in 1430 . Valentin Sebald was its first known pastor in 1533. In the middle of the 16th century, the Stenner copper and iron mining was mentioned, which probably began as early as the 14th century. The "Neugeboren Kindlein" colliery closed in 1878, the "Frisch Glück" colliery in 1885.
From the 16th century, the manorial power over Stenn was partly owned by the manors Alt-Schönfels and Ruppertsgrün . Stenn belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Zwickau until 1856 . In 1856 the place was affiliated to the Zwickau court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administrative authority . After the fron was replaced in 1841, Dorfstrasse was built in 1867. The Zwickau – Falkenstein railway line opened in 1875 gave Stenn a train station. New school buildings were built in 1839/1840 and 1888. The church was demolished in 1895 and the Resurrection Church , which still exists today, was consecrated in 1896 . It was designed by the Dresden architects Schilling & Graebner , the organ comes from the Trampeli workshop .
The first bus drove from Weißenborn in the north of Zwickau to Stenn in 1931 . After the license was issued in April 1937, the Zwickau trolleybus has been running on the line since 1938 . From April 1955 the Werzeit trolleybus prototype ES6 ran on this route in trial operation before it went into regular service in Berlin in October of that year. Operations ceased in February 1977, at which time the Lichtentanne – Stenn section was the last single-track trolleybus route in Germany.
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Stenn became part of the Zwickau-Land district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Zwickau from 1990 and in 1994 in the Zwickauer Land district rose. In 1974 the steeple was damaged by a storm. It was only reconstructed true to the original in 2002. On January 1, 1996, the communities of Stenn and Schönfels merged with Lichtentanne, and Ebersbrunn followed a year later. As a result of the decline in the birth rate, the primary schools in Ebersbrunn and Schönfels were closed in 2001 and the primary school in Stenn was completely renovated and expanded. Since August 1st, 2008, Stenn has belonged to the Zwickau district as a district of the Lichtentanne community.
