history
Syrau was first mentioned in 1282 as Syraw , which means place in pastureland . Another possibility of deriving the name is from the stream name Siroune , which appeared in 1122 in the oldest document of the Vogtland . In Schönbacher Chroniken, the year the Syrau chapel was built is 1370. The Syrau chapel belonged to the Parish Elsterberg in the 14th century and then to the Schönbach Abbey. The place Syrau belonged to the Plauen Office until the 19th century , then to the Plauen District Administration and from 1952 to the Plauen District .
In July 1876, the Saxon degree measurement assistant Emil Resch built station No. 154, 2nd order of the Royal Saxon triangulation from brickwork on the summit of Steinpöhl in the Syrau-Kauschwitzer Heide . The not very weather-resistant masonry of the column was subsequently replaced by a pillar made of local sandstone.
During the GDR era , the “ Bahnpostamt 29 - Halle” in Syrau set up the “Gerhard Schmidt” children's holiday camp .
On January 1, 1994, the previously independent municipality of Fröbersgrün voluntarily joined the municipality of Syrau. The place originally belonged to the Principality of Reuss-Greiz , then to the district of Greiz , before joining the district of Plauen in 1952 .
