history

Baron Wolf Wilhelm Laminger von Albenreuth auf Heiligenkreuz acquired the forest area in 1600 and founded the Straßhütte. The Straßhütte is mentioned in writing for the first time in 1629 in the matriculation records of Muttersdorf. In 1715 it reappeared in a protest letter from the Choden . Johann Thomas Lenk, glassmaker at the Plößer Hütte , modernized the Straßhütte until 1752 and then went bankrupt. In that year Franz Abels, who also owned the Franzbrunnhütte, signed an eight-year lease for the Straßhütte. He leased them from Erasmus Zucker von Tamfeld for 500 guilders a year. Josef Lenk, the son of Johann Thomas Lenk, followed in 1770 as the leaseholder of the Straßhütte, his son Ferdinand Josef Lenk from 1793 to 1797 and his brother Johann Georg Lenk from 1797 to 1799. Franz Fuchs leased the Straßhütte from 1799 to 1805. He signed the lease with Wenzel Kotz von Dobrz , the new owner of Heiligenkreuz , who took over the glass production at the Straßhütte himself from 1805. Green and white mirror glass was produced.

In 1837 Straßhütte had 8 houses and 136 inhabitants. In the second half of the 19th century the glassworks in the Upper Palatinate experienced a decline and in 1913 Straßhütte only had 2 houses and 9 residents. In 1945 5 people lived in Straßhütte, where today there are overgrown ruins on a forest meadow.

In 1994, a hobby archaeologist from Domažlice (German: Taus) uncovered the foundation walls of a melting furnace on this meadow.
