history

Report on flood damage in 1661 in the Pfeilhammer hammer mill

Teubner's hammer is mentioned here in 1560. The hammer mill was owned by Balthasar Siegel by 1565 at the latest , who gave the small settlement around the iron hammer its name. His son Andreas and then his son Heinrich Siegel took over the hammer mill. During the great flood in August 1661, Siegel's hammer mill was damaged by 1110 thalers, 300 thalers of which was used to repair the Hohe Ofen, which had sunk in the floods, another 300 thalers at two protective ponds, 100 thalers at the raft pond, 150 thalers three weirs and three waterfalls that had been torn away. 6 buckets in shock with coal for 60 thalers and raft wood worth 100 thalers were washed away. Heinrich Siegel had to spend a further 100 thalers to remove the sludge in the hut buildings and in the Hammergraben. Christian Lehmann reported on this in the 18th century, when both Pöhla hammers were united, when the Siegel hammer passed into the possession of the von Elterlein family on Pfeilhammer. As early as 1688, the hammer was named after its new owner, Biedermann. The last owner of the system in its actual function was the Nestler & Breitfeld company until the middle of the 19th century .

Johann Traugott Lindner wrote about Pöhla in his book Walks through the most interesting areas of the Saxon Upper Ore Mountains under the heading Großpöhla:

No less than 1489 people live in the 109 houses, which are densely packed and often jammed together and shingle, including the neighboring Kleinpöhla, of whom the men at the two hammer mills, the so-called Biedermann's and the arrow hammer, mostly get their food thinks, women and children, on the other hand, do lace making.

In 1856 the hammer mill was converted into a wood pulp factory, which was still producing in GDR times and, as Werk II Siegelhof, was part of the VEB Pappen- und Kartonagenfabrik Raschau .

In 1873, a forestry office building was erected in Siegelhof, in which the forester responsible for the forest area reaching as far as the Fichtelberg had his office. In addition, the former hammer mill building, located directly on Talstrasse, served as an inn and summer resort before the Second World War.

After the war, the inn was used intensively by the SDAG Wismut . As a canteen and sales room for the buddies from the nearby shaft, the Siegelhof was a central point of contact until the mid-1970s. Then the building fell into disrepair. The glass floor from the dance hall was later moved to the St. Katharina's restaurant in Waschleithe and can still be viewed there today. After 1990 the premises were used for a bar and game room for a few years. Today the Siegelhof building is in ruins.

Until 1972 the small Siegelhof station existed on the narrow-gauge railway Grünstädtel – Oberrittersgrün . When the line was closed, the area was built with garages. Today only the remains of a bus shelter remind of this stopping point located between Pöhlwasser and the ski jump. The bus shelter was stored in the Oberrittersgrün narrow-gauge railway museum in 2014 .

At the Siegelhof, the Luchsbach flows into the Pöhlwasser. The scenic Luchsbachtal begins here. Between the Schererzwald and the Kalmhausgut you will find the former Sternkopf cutting mill and a few houses that still make up the Siegelhof district of Pöhla today.
