Lengefeld

Lengefeld is a village in the Erzgebirgskreis district of Saxony, Germany. It is part of the municipality of Pockau-Lengefeld in the western part of the Ore Mountains.

The settlement’s history stretches back to the Middle Ages, with a local economy traditionally linked to mining and forestry, activities common to communities in the Erzgebirge. Over time, Lengefeld developed a rural character, with a pattern of timber-framed houses and a parish church that serves as a local landmark.

Administrative reforms in Saxony led to Lengefeld losing its status as an independent municipality and becoming incorporated into the larger municipality of Pockau-Lengefeld. Today, it exists as a distinct village within that municipal structure, relying on the broader local government for services and infrastructure.

The surrounding region remains known for outdoor recreation and natural scenery. The Erzgebirge offers hiking, cycling, and opportunities to explore forested hills, river valleys, and historical mining heritage that characterizes many communities in the area.
