history

Church in Weigmannsdorf

The first documentary mention dates from 1348 as Vicmansdorf . Around 1500 it was a branch church of Lichtenberg and retained this status even after the Reformation in 1539. Noteworthy features of the church, which was built in the 15th century, are an organ made by Adam Gottfried Oehme , a baptismal font made of pewter in the shape of a shell from 1668 and ten ceiling paintings by the peasant painter Sigismund Zimmermann.

In contrast to its neighboring villages Müdisdorf and Lichtenberg, which were in the Freiberg district office , Weigmannsdorf belonged to the Electoral Saxon and Royal Saxon Office of Frauenstein until 1856 . The manorial rule over the place, which originally belonged to the "Pflege Freiberg", was around 1551 at the Frauenstein manor , which at that time belonged to the von Schönberg family. After 1647 the place was Amtsdorf in the office Frauenstein. Weigmannsdorf, which was enclosed in the west, north and east by the Freiberg district office, formed with Randeck and Mulda the northwesternmost tip of the Frauenstein office.

In 1825 August Schumann mentions Weigmannsdorf in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning u. a .:

“The place is quite prosperous, since it mostly does arable farming, and in around 70 houses there are barely more than 500 residents, including 26 farmers. In 1748 there were only 56 residential buildings; 1801 but 428 consumers in 62 houses. Of the 42¼  hooves (mostly over 30, also up to 36 acres thick), 4½ are magazine and span free . [...] The Freiberg council also practices the collatur here at the school. Right below the church stands the hereditary court, which, including the two-hoofed property in the Niederdorfe combined with it, is one of the strongest hereditary property in the country, and surpasses many knightly estates in value; it has 4½ Hufen fields and significant meadows, also some groves, strong brewery, its own mill, guest food u. s. w. There are 3 mills with 5  gears and 2 oil mills in the village. The flax is strongly operated here, and there is a pair of crushing houses in the village. There are many traces of old mining, […]. At the moment only the Augustus Erbstolln colliery is in progress [...]. "

From 1856 Weigmannsdorf belonged to the fire court office and from 1875 to the Freiberg district administration . In July 1932, the home and school festival took place in Weigmannsdorf under the motto Vergass dei Hamit net . With the second district reform in the GDR, Weigmannsdorf came to the Brand-Erbisdorf district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). On January 1, 1963, the previously independent communities Weigmannsdorf and Müdisdorf were combined to form the new community Weigmannsdorf-Müdisdorf . On October 1, 1993 this community was moved to Lichtenberg / Erzgeb. incorporated. With this, Weigmannsdorf came from the Saxon district of Brand-Erbisdorf in 1994 to the district of Freiberg and in 2008 to the district of central Saxony.
