The house Altburgk 38 is a former Huthaus and today's flat-building in Freitaler district Burgk .

The building is located in the west of the old town center of Großburgk not far from Burgk Castle . It is located at the western end of Altburgk Street shortly before it joins Burgker Strasse , the district's main street. The hut house has two normal storeys and two attic storeys, the first three of which are used for residential purposes. Due to its importance as an “important object of regional mining history” , it has been included in the list of cultural monuments by the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Saxony .

history

In 1834 Dathe von Burgks, Freiherr von Burgker Steinkohlen- und Eisenhüttenwerke, had the hut house built for six coal pits in the area . Since there had been public gas lighting in the community of Großburgk since 1828 , the hut house was also connected to this network. On the ground floor there was a lounge and a prayer room for the miners. Steiger was able to hold a service in the prayer room before the start of the shift. Male choirs used the premises for common singing. Conference and administration rooms were located on the upper floor, and there was also a room for handicrafts, in which knitting was available for the miners' daughters.

When the Döhlen Luther Church , in which Großburgk was parish, was rebuilt from 1880 to 1882, the services were temporarily held in the Huthaus. With the slow end of mining in the Döhlen basin after 1900, the hat house was no longer needed. The Burgker School used the building around 1920, and in 1929 it was converted for residential purposes. Today's first attic was built.

After 1990, the building, which was in dire need of renovation, was owned by the municipal housing company, which considered demolishing the structure in 2006. After protests by the local mining and smelting association, the demolition project was abandoned and the hat house was offered for sale. A private investor acquired the listed building in 2009 and renovated it. Condominiums were built.
