The former village of farmers, Gablenz, was originally mentioned in the census register of the Benedictine Monastery of Chemnitz in the year 1200 (as Gabilencia). It gets its name from the nearby creek with the same name, which flows through the area. The name is Slavic in origin and means "Apple Tree Creek.“ Gablenz became a part of the city of Chemnitz in the year 1888. Gablenz Creek flows at what is today Rochlitzer Street into Chemnitz River beneath ground.
Old Waldhufendorf once stretched from Johannisvorstadt in the west of the city over to Euba in the east. To the north, Gablenz bordered the Zeisigwald Forest (known today as Yorckgebiet), to the north-east to Sonnenberg. In the year 1402, the Chemnitz Monastery sold the western part of the monastery, which was part of Gablenz, to the City of Chemnitz, which pushed the outer limits of the city to what is today Zeiß and Jahn Streets. With the closure of the Benedictine Monastery in Chemnitz in the year 1547, Gablenz came into the fold of the administrative district of Chemnitz, (Amt Chemnitz). Like many of the villages in the area, Gablenz was devastated and plundered several times during the Thirty Years' War.
Being the outskirts of Chemnitz impeded a quicker development of the village. It was only first in the 19th century that the Gablanz Bach Factories set up shop. Through that development, Gablenz became a colony of workers, for example, on Geibel and Claus Streets. Glablenz grew ever more to the west toward and with Chemnitz, until it the village was annexed into the city on April 1, 1900. In the eastern part of the area, a settlement of large apartment flats (known as Plattenbau) were built between 1967 and 1970, which known as the Hans Beimler Area. Another Plattenbau settlement was built in the northeast of the neighborhood between 1970 and 1974 as the Yorckstraße residential area, which made up the Yorkgebiet Neighborhood, which existed as its own official neighborhood until 1992/93.
In the recent past, Gablenz experienced an influx in population, due to the comprehensive renovation of the residential buildings. As a part of that, the residential areas of Heimgarten, Sachsenring, Kreher and Zschopauer Streets, among others, have been brought back to life. The extraordinarily great number of garden areas, which are located between the apartment flat buildings, make Gablenz a beloved place to live in Chemnitz.
