history

The village was first mentioned in a document between 1181 and 1214. Zumroda belonged to the Wettin office of Altenburg , which from the 16th century was under the sovereignty of the following Ernestine duchies due to several divisions during its existence : Duchy of Saxony (1554 to 1572), Duchy of Saxony-Weimar (1572 to 1603), Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg (1603 to 1672), Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg (1672 to 1826).

Zumroda was a famous place of pilgrimage for several centuries . In 1738 the wooden pilgrimage church was demolished and a year later a new church was built, which was called "zum Rhoda" until modern times. At that time 34 families with 167 inhabitants lived in the village. While the upper courts were at the ducal district office of Altenburg, the hereditary courts were divided between the local manor and the manor Hainichen near Gößnitz . The manor Zumroda had no real estate and initially belonged to the von Minckwitz family and later to the noble Pflugk family . When the Ernestine Duchies were reorganized in 1826, Zumroda again became part of the Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg. After the administrative reform in the duchy, the village belonged to the eastern district (until 1900) and to the Altenburg district office (from 1900). From 1918 Zumroda belonged to the Free State of Saxony-Altenburg , which was added to the State of Thuringia in 1920. In 1922 it came to the district of Altenburg .

With the mining of brown coal , a new stage began in the town in the second half of the 19th century. The seams were between 1.70 m and 10.18 m in thickness. The coal was extracted either by hand reels or by the pulling force of a horse through steam power. The shafts had a depth of 21 m to 31.70 m. In 1956, lignite mining in the area of ​​Zumroda was stopped. After the end of the war in 1945 and the subsequent expulsion from the eastern regions of the German Reich , Zumroda also took in numerous refugees. During the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, the existing states were dissolved and the districts were redesigned. Thus, the community Zumroda came to the east of the circle Schmölln to the district of Leipzig , since 1990 as a county belonged to Schmölln Thuringia and opened in 1994 Altenburger in the district of the country.

On November 1, 1973, the community Zumroda was incorporated into the community Podelwitz . When the municipality Podelwitz became part of the unified municipality of Saara , Zumroda became a part of this municipality on January 1, 1996, until it came to Nobitz on December 31, 2012. In 2012, 100 people lived in Zumroda.
