Hüttertal
Coordinates: 51 ° 7 ′ 19 ″ N , 13 ° 56 ′ 21 ″ E
The Hüttertal in Saxony is located between Wallroda and Radeberg and has been a designated landscape protection area since 1954 (Saxon LSG no. D14; CDDA code 321858 ). It was one of the first protected areas in the GDR and, with an area of 54 hectares, also one of the smallest.
Since 2006, the Hüttertal has been part of the European Natura 2000 protected area (belonging to the 770 hectare FFH protected area No. 4848-301 Rödertal above Medingen ) and is therefore subject to strict nature and bird protection regulations.
It is located in the transition area from the West Lusatian hills and mountains to the Schönfeld highlands . The Große Röder flows through the Hüttertal towards Radeberg.
General
The Hüttertal is an approximately three kilometers long and on average 150 to 200 meters wide kerbsohlental that the Große Röder has eroded into the rocky landscape between Wallroda and Radeberg over the course of millions of years . In many parts of the valley there are open rock slopes made of granodiorite and sedimentary rocks . Two former quarries are recognizable ("Dead Woman" and "Grotto"). Forest areas (partly as semi-natural alluvial forests ) as well as meadows and tall herbaceous vegetation developed along the course of the river . The Lausitzer Schlange long-distance hiking trail runs through the Hüttertal. The highest point is the Hutberg (296 meters) belonging to the Wallrodaer Flur . The forest area Strankholz was north of the Hüttertal until the beginning of the 20th century .
nature
Until the end of the 19th century, the Hüttertal was primarily used as pasture for sheep and was therefore almost treeless. Only a few trees were planted by a few mill owners. In the early 20th century, the Hüttertal became a public park converted, and the first large-scale plantations of oak , sycamore and black locust were conducted.
flora
The Hüttertal consists largely of natural oak and hornbeam forest . In addition to the tree species that give it its name, there are elms , birches , ash trees , linden trees , alders and maples, as well as pines , spruces and white pines . Due to the intensive grazing of the valley until the end of the 19th century, there are very few older trees.
Some special meadows can be found between the forest areas. In addition to the Märzenbecherwiesen there is an orchid meadow, where the broad-leaved orchid , a native orchid species, is found in large numbers. This meadow is designated as a natural monument . In spring, many clearings are covered with wood anemones. Other plants worth protecting in the Hüttertal are the columbine rue , various types of butterbur , the forest yellow star and the celandine .
The Rödertal flower , a subspecies from the genus of the coneflower , was first introduced into the Hüttertal by humans and is therefore to be regarded as a neophyte . Also neobiotic is the glandular balsam , which can be found very frequently in meadows and clearings as well as in loosely overgrown forest areas.
fauna
In Hüttertal are red foxes , deer , hare , squirrel , badger , various kinds of mice, bats and weasels home. The course of the river Großer Röder offers habitat for otters , dragonflies and some toad and frog species. Rhinoceros beetles and wild hornets can be found in some parts of the forest .
The very species-rich bird life ( avifauna ) of the Hüttertal resulted in the classification as a bird sanctuary . Over 60 different species were counted. The most important large birds are the gray heron , red kite , buzzard and white stork . In addition, brooding green woodpecker , great spotted woodpecker , nuthatch , finches , blackbirds , tits , warblers , Wren and warblers in Hüttertal. Kingfisher and dipper are among the most exotic residents .
Radeberg Castle Mill
In 1445, the castle mill, which was formerly part of the Radeberg Castle and Office (not part of the town of Radeberg), was first mentioned in a document as "Hussmol" and, as far as we know today, is the oldest mill in the area of today's town of Radeberg. It is located in the immediate vicinity of Klippenstein Castle . The inheritance book of 1551 explains the Radeberger Amtsmühle: A mohle located under the castle on the Reder, has three over-sexed ones ... The castle mill is the city-side entrance to the Hüttertal.
In the overshot water mill with its 3 courses, which was already occupied in 1551, grain was ground to flour until 1996. The mill has belonged to the sons of the last miller Günter Sonntag since 2009 and has been restored as a museum mill . During the mill days and on special occasions, demonstrations of the re-operational roller mills and the associated mill technology, including foam grinding, are offered. The mill building, the associated barn and the mill ditch are under monument protection.
Langbeinscher garden
Ernst Ludwig Langbein, Radeberg judicial officer and father of the poet and novelist August Friedrich Ernst Langbein , acquired the fallow land originally belonging to Klippenstein Castle on the opposite (left) side of the Großer Röder after the Seven Years' War and built a terraced garden with a fountain on it, Lusthäuschen and statues in the Hüttertal. During the construction of the facility, the remains of old buildings were found that were used as quarters for hunters and as dog stalls during the hunts that started from the Klippenstein hunting lodge. The path name Großer Hundestallweg along the garden and the Hundestallbrücke , a stone arch bridge built in 1781 over the Große Röder, are reminiscent of this . Before, there was a ford at this point on the road from the castle / office of Radeberg to Wallroda, to the Kleinwolmsdorf manor and on to Stolpen . The facility is now privately owned and is a listed building.
Bone punch
As bone Stampe the former oil or colloquially Knochenmühle between the cliff dead woman and the Hütter mill called. In the mill, bones were ground to make glue and fertilizer. In 1859 the owner of the Hüttermühle, Carl Gottfried Missbach, built an oil mill a little below his Hüttermühle, which was later converted into a bone mill. In 1860 he sold the Hüttermühle to his only son, Carl Friedrich Missbach. After the end of the GDR, the dilapidated main building of the bone mill was extensively renovated and has served as a residential building ever since. The house, together with a single-arched sandstone-granite bridge, is a listed building.
Huttermühle
The historically significant Hüttermühle is the core of the Hüttertal. Their history is documented until the 15th century. It was the crossroads of earlier supraregional traffic routes and, because of the stone arch bridge built over the Große Röder in 1762, played an important role both agriculturally (connection of the Kleinwolmsdorf manor with the Radeberger Vorwerke Heinrichsthal and Friedrichstal ) and also strategically, especially for troop movements towards the end of the Seven Years War and during the Napoleonic Wars because of their relative proximity to the former trunk road (Königsstraße) Dresden - Bautzen - Görlitz - Breslau.
Mill operation
For the period from 1445 to 1535, the records of the Radeberg Office's income show that there was a grinding mill . It was a hydropower- powered grinding shop for agricultural equipment and weapons.
In the years 1590/91 a fulling mill was built by Blasius Lorentz on the site of the old grinding mill . Christian Zschiedrich expanded the mill operation in the 17th century with a board mill , and a grinder was set up later . Well-known owners of the mill were, for example, Ernst Friedrich von Döhlau , Johann Christoph von Naumann and Gottfried Arnhold from the supraregional Müller dynasty Arnhold. At the beginning of the 19th century the Hüttermühle functioned as a grinding, sawing and fulling mill, and at times also as a tale mill . Horse and cow stables and other farm buildings were built on the site. The mill operation was maintained until 1870. The former valley name Walckmühlental was followed by centuries of intensive pasture management (sheep farming with the historical names Schafs-Huth and -Hüter) in the valley floor and at the z. T. wooded slopes and the surrounding area ( Hutewald ) from around 1785 the names Hütertal and Hütersmühle , from which Hüttertal and Hüttermühle developed .
Gastronomy / recreation
The Hüttermühle was licensed in 1877 . In addition to the excursion restaurant, the mill pond, which is around 2,000 square meters in size and independent of the Mühlgraben, was particularly popular and was used for gondolas in summer and ice skating in winter. At the beginning of the 20th century there was an economic decline and finally around 1940 the restaurant was ruined. From 1954 to 1961, the mill buildings were used as a children's holiday camp after a poor repair.
In 1972/1973 extensive renovation work was carried out on the mill building, the pond and the surrounding area. Only the original undershot waterwheel (wooden frame with specially shaped sheet metal shovels, approx. 4 meters in diameter) on the front facade (formerly wheel house) remained from the mill technology, which however, due to its ailing condition after the renovation (1978) a medium-sized replica made by Schlossmühlen owner Günter Sonntag, but not powered by water power, was replaced. The Hüttermühle was operated as a consumer restaurant until the end of the GDR. Instead of the restaurant that was closed in 2010, a comprehensive snack supply now ensures catering support (as of May 2018). Parts of the Hüttermühle and the partially covered Mühlgraben are under monument protection.
Green classroom
In the fall of 2006, the Hüttertal Radeberg Friends' Association inaugurated the green classroom at the Hüttermühlenteich. The facility is equipped with covered seating areas, various display boards on the flora and fauna of the Hüttertal, a fireplace, a clay oven and an insect hotel . School classes, excursion groups and other interested parties are taught nature and environment-oriented knowledge.
Archery range
On a meadow belonging to the Hüttermühle parcel on the right side of the Röder, opposite the Hüttermühle on the left, the Radeberger Sport-Club (RSC.07) built a sports field in 1924 together with the mill owner Bruno Max Saalbach. The Hüttermühle sports park was used as a soccer field, but also as a festival and event site. The Hüttermühle benefited above all from the spectators who generated additional sales. The sports field and the mill restaurant were easily accessible by means of a wooden bridge over the Röder, built in 1892 by the then Hüttermühlen host Paufler at the beginning of the Mühlgraben.
The archery department of the Radeberger Sportverein has been operating an archery range on the square since 1974 . On the archery area there are various targets in all competition distances between 30 and 90 meters. There is a separate area for children and young people with targets 15 to 30 meters away. Bundesliga matches and German championships have already been held on the site. A night cup under floodlights is also held regularly . Equipped with plastic animals, the system can be used by 3D shooters and hunters. In 2005 the new clubhouse next to the complex was inaugurated after the old building was burned down in 2003.
Felix Tower
The Felix Tower is a 16 meter high tower on the Schafberg . It was built from weathered granodiorite and is located in the Wallroda district. Built in 1824, it served as an inn from 1839 to 1965. In the summer of 1918, the tower burned down completely after a lightning strike, but was rebuilt. The upper part had to be removed in 1930 because of the risk of collapse. Right next to the Felix Tower, the Nestor of the Radeberg amateur astronomy, Erich Bär , built a private observatory in 1953 , which was also used by the astronomy circle of the astronomy department in the GDR's cultural association until 1963 . The tower is now privately owned and used for amateur radio .
Old-fashioned
_016a.jpg)
The assumptions of earlier historians (e.g. Friedrich Bernhard Störzner , Alfred Meiche ) that the desert area Altrabig (other names: Aldenradeberg and Altradeberg ) was located in the area between today's Hüttermühle and the former Vorwerk Heinrichsthal cannot be proven. Instead, look for the approximate location on the hill of the castle hill in a north-easterly direction, where the former castle complex was also located. This was surrounded by the first settlement Radeberg (with earlier different spellings), protected by natural rocks to the south-west and to the north-east by a rampart , before it was built at its current location. The settlement had already been abandoned before 1349/50, because in the feudal book of Frederick the Strengen , Margrave of Meißen and Landgrave of Thuringia, the disappeared Aldenradeberg is already written. The parcels and fields north of this part of the Hüttertal were formerly called Altradeberger pieces , the name thus indicates that they belonged to the former settlement.
Memorial stones and plaques
Dead women
A memorial plaque on a particularly striking rock formation near the beinstampe commemorates a tragic accident. The messenger woman Christiane Müller from Pulsnitz got lost on March 5, 1756 in a night snow storm, fell down the rock face and was killed. Since then this cliff has been popularly known as Dead Woman . The first plaque was placed directly on the rock. It came from the miller at the castle mill and bore the following inscription:
The dark night
brought me here
I got into trouble
and fell to death.
The Förderverein Hüttertal Radeberg put up a new board in 2007.
Müller Gottfried Arnhold
Friedrich von Fröden , Saxon chief equipment master in the rank of major general in Dresden , was the owner of the nearby Friedrichstal works at the end of the 18th century and was closely connected to the owners of the Arnoldmühle , the Arnold family. At that time, mills were often named after the owner; the later name Hüttermühle did not develop until the beginning of the 19th century. In recognition and appreciation of the charity and charitable sentiment of Johann Gottfried Arnold for the town and surroundings of Radeberg, von Fröden had the Arnold memorial stone built not far from the mill in 1790.
The sandstone memorial is located opposite the Hüttermühlenteich on the slope of the right bank of the Große Röder. The inscription on the front reads:
"Dedicated to the diligence of the good farmer and the skill of the miller Gottfried Arnhold in his memory by his neighbor HLBv Fröden, 1790"
The monument has been restored several times over the years, for example in 1882 by Section Radeberg of the Mountain Association for Saxon Switzerland , in times of the GDR by the Heimatfreunde of the Kulturbund of the GDR and in 2009 by the Förderverein Hüttertal Radeberg .
Wayman Helmut Müller
A memorial plaque on the bridge to the Hüttermühle commemorates the road warden Helmut Müller (1925–2002). The trained master watchmaker was significantly involved in the expansion and maintenance of the marked network of hiking trails in the Radeberg region.
Max Hinsche
In July 2014 a memorial plaque was erected at the entrance to the Hüttermühle in memory of the naturalist, taxidermist and author Max Hinsche , who was born in Radeberg in 1896 . For example, Hinsche was on expeditions in northern Canada and in the Yukon for the Staatliche Museen für Tierkunde und Völkerkunde Dresden to set up collections of mammals and birds. The plaque was inaugurated by the Mayor of Radeberg, Gerhard Lemm, in the presence of Hinsche's daughter Annegret Borek. In addition, a seating group was built by the Radeberg wood artist Dirk Hantschmann.
Planet trail
The planetary hiking trail through the Hüttertal has ten stations. It was set up in 1994 by a Radeberg company in cooperation with the city administration and the Friends of the “Erich Bär” observatory and begins in Radeberg at Klippenstein Castle with the Sun station . The stations of the planets in our solar system follow at approximately true-to-scale intervals . The path ends after Mercury , Venus , Earth , Mars , Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune with Pluto . Since the planetary path was laid out before 2006, Pluto is included as a station, as it was still classified as a planet at that time . The path ends at the Felix Tower. In 2006 the stations along the way were restored.
Events
In addition to guided hikes, regular events in the Hüttertal include the oven festival and children's singing at the Hüttermühle. In addition, the Clean Hüttertal campaign is carried out on a regular basis, in which nature lovers and residents of the surrounding towns are called upon to clean the Hüttertal of rubbish and rubbish.
The Hüttertal Run has taken place every year since 2010 . The organizer is RC 1898 Radeberg . It is a fun run over a distance of 10 kilometers. The start is on the Radeberg market square , the route runs past Klippenstein Castle, through the entire Hüttertal and ends in the Radeberg public baths . The routing gives the event the characteristics of a cross-country run . Since 2011, teams of three people each, at least one of whom must be younger than 14 years of age, have been able to run for the trophy of the large district town of Radeberg on a two-kilometer route . In 2012, 160 runners took part in the competition.
Friends of Hüttertal Radeberg
The Hüttertal Radeberg Association was founded on February 2, 2006 to protect and maintain the Hüttertal . The main task of the association is to maintain the landscape protection area, for example by cleaning and maintaining the network of paths, the monuments and the valley slopes. The association also helps to organize the various events, operates the green classroom and creates documentation about the Hüttertal.
On the occasion of the New Year's reception of the Mayor of Radeberg in 2011, the Förderverein Hüttertal Radeberg eV was awarded the Medal of Honor of the City of Radeberg for services to the good of the city . Among other things, the association's efforts to repair the storm damage from May 2010 were highlighted .
Others
A rock formation near the archery range is reminiscent of the shape of an elephant's head with a little imagination and is therefore popularly known as the elephant rock .
The so-called Mäuseburg is located at the junction of the hiking trail to the Felix Tower . It is a large old tree trunk about which numerous stories have been passed down in the population.
The Großerkmannsdorf / Radeberg bypass on state road 177 , approved in December 2008, runs over a bridge through the Hüttertal . Due to the classification of the Hüttertal as a European protected area, the construction of this bridge was bound by extensive, nature conservation-related requirements and was followed particularly critically by the public.
In the 1920s they looked for a place for a new cemetery in Radeberg, as the burial costs on the existing ones were significantly higher for non-church residents than for members of the churches. In 1929, the Saxon Homeland Security Association , the Committee for Cemetery Art, and the Building, Finance and Funeral Committee submitted a proposal to the Radeberg City Council to set up an urn cemetery in Hüttertal. The cemetery was to be built on the hill between the castle mill and the Dead Woman rock formation . The city council approved the draft. However, the effects of the global economic crisis , which above all brought the glass industry in Radeberg to a standstill and thus used up the city's financial resources, prevented the project from being implemented. After the National Socialists seized power , the plans for the urn cemetery were discarded.
When school operations were temporarily suspended after the end of the Second World War , the Radeberg scientist and vice-principal of the Radeberger Oberschule Theodor Arldt organized charitable work with the students of the higher grades to create a new hiking trail in Hüttertal and to repair the path to Wallroda that had been destroyed by floods the ties to home among young people.
Not far from the area of the Große Röder, which is now spanned by the bridge, were the first bathing spots in Radeberg. The areas of the dams at the mill ditches were often used by the millers and local residents for bathing purposes. In 1868, simple wooden sheds were built as changing rooms and a bathing establishment for men and older boys was opened, and in 1883 the first bathing house in the Hüttertal was opened. At the end of the 19th century, there was a military bathing area near the weir of the castle mill. In 1913 the Stadtbad Radeberg opened at its current location within the city.
The so-called tornado on Whit Monday , May 24, 2010, also caused severe damage in Hüttertal. Many trees were uprooted and entire sections of forest were devastated. The main hiking trails could only be reopened to the public six weeks after the tornado. The wood artist Dirk Hantschmann from Radeberg created the tornado man to commemorate this natural event . This is a wooden sculpture on the edge of the tornado lane, which was made from the remaining tree stump of an oak that was broken up by the storm. In addition, a massive group of seats made of broken wood on a meadow between bone stamper and Hüttermühle reminds of the storm.
The Saxon contaminated site register (SALKA) records an area in the Hüttertal in the Wallroda district as suspected soil contamination and indicates a former tank training range. There was also a shooting range for short-range weapons near the Hüttermühle . This was abandoned in 1894 due to complaints about the noise and dangers of ricochets.
On May 12, 2017, the ecumenical linden tree was consecrated as part of an ecumenical hike at the northern entrance of the Hüttertal to the Hüttermühle . A six-sided bench was built around the trunk of the tree, the seats of which symbolize the three Radeberg Christian churches and parishes as well as their dialogue with one another.
