history
The place is first mentioned in 1055 as Dalewinthun . Winzenburg Castle , a medieval mansion, is located on a mountain spur northwest of Thalwend . Remnants of the fortifications can still be seen in the area.
The current spelling of the place has been common since the beginning of the 14th century. The name refers to a settlement of the Wends in the valley . The village was owned by the Archbishopric Kurmainz until 1802 . From 1802 to 1807 the place became Prussian and then became part of the Kingdom of Westphalia . From 1815 to 1945 it was part of the Prussian province of Saxony . 1945 to 1949 the place was part of the Soviet occupation zone and from 1949 part of the GDR . From 1961 until the fall of the Wall and reunification in 1989/1990, Thalwend was affected by the closure of the nearby inner-German border.
In 1982 the worker Heinz-Josef Große, who lived in Thalwend, died while trying to escape on the inner-German border near Schifflersgrund , where he was shot by GDR border guards.
Since 1990 the place has belonged to the re-established state of Thuringia, to which it had belonged for several years from 1945 .
In 1998 the building of the former school was converted into a village community center. In the summer of 2008, the Thalwender sports facility of the FSV Thalwenden was extensively renovated and the youth club was extensively renovated.
