Position and extent
The settlement area of Arnsfeld extends in the Middle Ore Mountains at an altitude of 550 to 650 NN. The highest point is the Fuchshöhe at 728 m above sea level. The Dorfbach, which has its original headwaters at the southern end of the core settlement area in the "Rumedaneswies", flows through the village in a northerly direction and then flows into the Rauschenbach at the end . Along the course of the village stream, which is also fed by numerous springs from the slopes to the east and west of it, in earlier times there were mainly mills and forges that used water power to drive millstones and bellows. Mention should be made of the oil mill at "Ölschläger" - the Seltmann, Richter, Rau, Weber and Niedere mills. The northeastern farmsteads have a steep slope at the beginning of the hooves. The actual field boundaries are formed by the rivers Rauschenbach in the west and the Preßnitz in the east in the neighboring Erzgebirge valleys.
Community structure
In addition to the main town Arnsfeld, Oberschaar on the road to Steinbach and Mittelschmiedeberg in the Preßnitz valley belong to the town. The Kehrer-Gut near Oberschmiedeberg is also located on the Arnsfeld corridor and is only separated from the Jöhstädter district by the Preßnitz. The Rauschenbach forms the boundary to Mildenau.

history
_SG102431.jpg)
Arnsfeld was founded around 1200 by farmers from Franconia and laid out as a classic Waldhufendorf . There are archaeological finds of typical medieval ceramics, known as “blue-gray goods”, found in the southern part of the village, in the archive of the Saxon Museum for Ur- and Documented and preserved early history. Arnsfeld was first mentioned in a document on August 11, 1385. At that time, Hans von Waldenburg transferred the village and estate of Arnsfeld (Oberschaar) to the church in Wolkenstein . In earlier times the parish of Arnsfeld comprised almost all neighboring communities, such as Jöhstadt , Grumbach , statutes and Steinbach . Around 1500 Hans Hesse , the creator of the Annaberg mountain altar, painted a large altarpiece for the village church. In 1537 the Reformation was introduced in Arnsfeld, as in the rest of the Albertine Duchy of Saxony . On January 30, 1599, Johann Friedrich Luther (* 1562 in Gotha; † January 26, 1599 in Arnsfeld, father: Paul Luther ), a grandson of the reformer Martin Luther , was buried in the Arnsfeld church . The Arnsfeld Church was expanded by 14 cubits in 1784 and the number of places for the faithful was increased by the installation of three galleries.
In 1662 Christian Meyer founded the Hammerwerk Mittelschmiedeberg , which was in operation until 1860. It is the youngest of the three towns in the Preßnitz Valley , along with the two hammer mills in Ober- and Niederschmiedeberg, which were first mentioned around 1501 . Over the centuries Arnsfeld has been shaped by its farmers and agriculture, unlike in most areas of the Ore Mountains , mining did not play a significant role. In the 17th century some pits were mentioned in Arnsfeld, such as the “St. Gregorius ”(1682) and the“ Neu Glück ”(1694). Pits from the 19th century are the “Neubeschert Glück Stollen” in Niederdorf (around 1830) and the self-contained mine “Gott mit uns” (1821 to 1823). The "Christ Resurrection Stolln", the location of which is well known, was located near the church. In the Brünnelgrund between Arnsfeld and Oberschaar, the “Seegen Gottes Stolln” was in operation in the 18th and early 19th centuries. In Oberschaar itself there are pits from the 16th century, in Mittelschmiedeberg two pits from the 18th century. In the course of the 19th century sawmills, textile factories and cardboard factories were built in the districts. Another important economic factor of this time was lace-making , which was done at home.
Until 1856, Arnsfeld was an administrative village in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon office of Selva . From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Annaberg and from 1875 to the official authority Annaberg . In 1848 the construction of the road from Annaberg via Arnsfeld, Oberschaar, Steinbach to the border crossing in Reitzenhain began . In 1892 the narrow-gauge Pressnitz Valley Railway was opened, which ran on a section of the Arnsfeld corridor, but without stopping. Only the neighboring towns of Niederschmiedeberg and Steinbach received a station. The Annaberg – Mildenau – Arnsfeld – Steinbach bus route was only opened in 1921. Arnsfeld received its own school building in 1861, to which two side wings were added in 1879. On July 1, 1909, the Saxon King Friedrich August III stayed. briefly in place during a trip to the Ore Mountains. The "Rauschenbachmühle" located between Mildenau and Arnsfeld was set up on May 17, 1927 as a tourist home for nature lovers.
During the Allied bombing raid on the night of February 14-15, 1945, five houses and two barns were destroyed in Arnsfeld and one person was killed. During the air raid, German fighters fired at the Allied bomber squadron. A hit plane crashed between Arnsfeld and Grumbach. The five Canadian crew members were buried in the Arnsfeld cemetery. Three years after the war, on April 14, 1948, they were exhumed and taken away in the presence of Russian and British soldiers.
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Arnsfeld came to the Annaberg district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Annaberg from 1990 and was added to the Ore Mountains in 2008. In 1972 the town pyramid was set up next to the school in the town center. The "Am Wildbach" rest stop on the Preßnitz in Oberschaar was opened in 1979. In 1981 and 1986, two large home festivals took place. The last major home festivals took place in 1993 and 2010. With the cessation of train traffic on the narrow-gauge Pressnitz Valley Railway in 1984 and 1986, respectively, Arnsfeld lost its relatively close connection to the rail network. By resolution of the local council, Arnsfeld officially introduced street names and new house numbers in 1985. The inauguration of the new prefabricated Arnsfeld school between the sports field and Grumbacher Straße took place on August 31, 1987.
The administrative community Arnsfeld-Mildenau, founded on April 1, 1997, was dissolved on January 1, 1999 with the incorporation of Arnsfeld with its two districts into the unitary community of Mildenau.
