history
.jpg)
German colonization of the area around Werda began in the 12th and 13th centuries. The Werda moated castle with a ring wall and the manor that arose from it also date from this time . The later Werda district of Kottengrün was first mentioned in 1320, Werda itself appears for the first time in documents a good 100 years later in 1421. The Katharinenkirche is mentioned for the first time in 1452, in 1592 a Vorwerk in Werda is handed down. The manor was owned by the noble Dölau family at the beginning of the 16th century . Later it belonged to the families Tettau , Röhn, Trützschler , Metzsch and von der Heydte. After further changes of ownership, the manor came to Gottlieb Günther in the 19th century, who upgraded the previously quite simple manor house by adding two towers to the gable ends. Günter sold the land to the city of Plauen in 1901 for the construction of the Werda dam, and the mansion was henceforth operated as a shelter for hikers. It was bought by a textile company in 1927 and has been privately owned since then. Like the neighboring town of Kottengrün, Werda belonged partly to the Electoral Saxon and Royal Saxon offices of Plauen and Voigtsberg until the 19th century . The basic rule over the place was partly with the manors Werda, Oberlauterbach , Falkenstein , Mühlberg, Dorfstadt , and Ellefeld . Another part was directly subordinate to the Voigtsberg office as an administrative village . For the year 1582 it is recorded that there were 15 residential buildings in Werda. Around this time about 23 possessed men , five cottagers and 30 residents lived in the Waldhufendorf Werda. From 1632 the place was affected during the Thirty Years War .
With the start of industrialization at the end of the 19th century, the typical Vogtland textile industry moved into Werda. There was already a weaving manufacture in Werda in the first half of the 17th century. On the basis of the rural community code of 1838 , Werda gained independence as a rural community. In 1856 Werda was affiliated to the Falkenstein court office and in 1875 to the Auerbach administration . Between 1904 and 1909 the Werda dam (Geigenbach dam) was built on the Geigenbach. It is one of the oldest dams in Saxony and was the first in Germany to have a connected waterworks with its own filter system. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Werda came to the district of Auerbach in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which continued as the Saxon district of Auerbach in 1990 and became part of the Vogtland district in 1996. From 1975 a sports hall was built for the elementary school in Werda. The outdoor pool in Kottengrün had already been opened in 1970. On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Kottengrün, consisting of the districts Kottengrün and Pillmannsgrün , merged with Werda to form the new municipality of Werda. This has been part of the Vogtlandkreis since 1996, to which the Auerbach district was transferred as part of the Saxony district reform in 1994/1996 .
