Location of Wiesenburg in Saxony

Until 1999, Wiesenburg was an independent municipality with the districts of Wiesenburg, Wiesen and Schönau. Today they belong to the town of Wildenfels in the district of Zwickau .

Geographical location

Wiesenburg and Wiesen are on the left bank of the Zwickauer Mulde . Schönau is to the right of the Zwickauer Mulde in a side valley towards Wildenfels.

Incorporations

Wiesen was incorporated in 1961. Schönau came to Wiesenburg in 1974. Since 1999 the places belong to the city of Wildenfels.

history

Wiesenburg was the ancestral seat of the Wiesenburg rule with the Wiesenburg Castle, first mentioned in 1251, and thus, like the neighboring village of Wildenfels, the seat of a rule. Wiesen also belonged to the Wiesenburg rule. From 1663 to 1724 the office of Wiesenburg was lent to the dukes of Holstein-Sonderburg . On June 14, 1676, Duke Moritz von Sachsen-Zeitz in Wiesenburg married Sophie Elisabeth of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Wiesenburg , the daughter of Duke Philipp Ludwig of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Wiesenburg from his marriage to Anna Margarete von Hessen -Homburg . However, this marriage remained childless.

In 1843 the seat of the Wiesenburg district was relocated to Kirchberg . In 1856 both places came to the Kirchberg court office and in 1875 to the Zwickau administration , the successors of which were the districts of Zwickauer Land and Zwickau . Wiesen was incorporated into Wiesenburg in 1961.

Schönau was first mentioned in 1322 and partly belonged to the Wiesenburg office, the Wildenfels rule and the Hartenstein office in Schönburg . It was not until 1880 that it was fully transferred to the Zwickau administrative authority and later to the Zwickau district . In 1974 Schönau was incorporated into Wiesenburg.

Wiesenburg and its districts have been part of Wildenfels since 1999. This congregation merger did not go quite as smoothly. On May 14, 1998, the mayors of Wiesenburg and the neighboring community of Silberstrasse signed an agreement to merge the two communities. This was countered by the specifications from the draft of the municipal area reform of the Saxon state government, which was sued. On August 25, 1999, the Constitutional Court of the Free State of Saxony dismissed Wiesenburg's action, which made the community merger with Wildenfels legally binding.
