Geringswalde ((:ɡeːʁɪŋsˈvaldə)) is a town in the district of Mittelsachsen, in the Free State of Saxony, Germany. It is situated 12 km northwest of Mittweida, and 27 km north of Chemnitz. == History == The town was first mentioned in 1233 together with a destroyed castle in a document confirming the establishment of a Benedictine nun's convent. After the Protestant reformation, the convent was dissolved and transformed into a manor. The town was never walled. A short-lived orthodox Lutheran school was closed in 1568 due to the rector being accused of Gnesio-Lutheranism. A stream traversing the grounds of the town was dammed in the middle ages, forming a large pond known as ''Großteich''. Until the 19th century, the economy was chiefly based on agriculture and linen manufacture. After Industrialization Geringswalde was known for the production of furniture (mainly chairs and armchairs) and cutting tools. The manor was dissolved after World War II and most of its buildings demolished. Geringswalde was part of Kreis Rochlitz from 1945 to 1994, of Landkreis Mittweida from 1994 to 2008 and belongs now to the Central Saxony administrative district. From 1893 to 1997, the town was served by the standard-gauge railway line Waldheim - Rochlitz. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geringswalde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
