history

The first documentary mention took place in the period from 1181 to 1214. Part of Thonhausen belonged to Sachsen-Altenburg until 1920 and was part of the Ronneburg district office since 1900 . The other part belonged to the Zwickau administration in the Kingdom of Saxony . In 1928 there was an exchange of territory and a border adjustment between the Free State of Saxony and the State of Thuringia . As a result, the splintered areas of the Thuringian part of Thonhausen in Saxony were ceded to Saxony and incorporated into Rudelswalde . The splintered areas of the Saxon part of Thonhausen, however, were combined with the remaining Thuringian part to form one municipality. Both districts and the districts of Schönhaide and Wettelswalde, which were incorporated on July 1, 1950, belonged to the Thuringian district of Altenburg and from July 25, 1952 to the district of Schmölln in the Leipzig district .
