Local history of Biensdorf
Mining in the Biensdorf area is believed to have started around the year 1000. The mining settlement of Biensdorf was probably built around 1200 parallel to the mining on the staircases with the medieval mining town of Bleiberg on the opposite bank of the Zschopau. In contrast to the mountain town of Bleiberg, the mid-14th century desolate fell Bien village remained the same fate by the existence of the aforementioned 1465 Vorwerk Biendorf spared. This Biensdorf Vorwerk, mentioned as "Bemisdorf", belonged to the Sachsenburg manor around 1465 and was probably built to protect the miners. From the 16th to the 19th century, the manor over the Vorwerk and the estate settlement Biensdorf lay with the Neusorge manor . The reign of Neusorge , which was sold to the Elector Christian II of Saxony in 1610 , has belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Augustusburg ever since . In 1832, most of the places previously under the administration of the Neusorge manor, including the Biensdorf settlement, were assigned to the Frankenberg-Sachsenburg office. From 1856 Biensdorf belonged to the Mittweida court office and from 1875 to the Rochlitz administration . Biensdorf was assigned to the Krumbach community before 1875 . The Biensdorf Vorwerk was mentioned until the 19th century. Between April 15 and April 26, 1945, Biensdorf and Krumbach were briefly occupied by American troops until April 7th and 8th. May 1945 Soviet troops took over the administration.
As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Krumbach and its Biensdorf district became part of the Hainichen district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen in 1990 . After its dissolution, the place belonged to the Mittweida district since 1994 , which was added to the central Saxony district in 2008. The municipality of Krumbach with its district Biensdorf was incorporated into Ottendorf on December 1, 1994 . In the course of the municipal reform in Saxony, the municipalities of Auerswalde , Lichtenau and Ottendorf were merged into a new municipality in 1999 , the name of which was only determined by a referendum on May 28, 2000 as "Lichtenau"; 51% of those entitled to vote opted for this. Since then, Biensdorf has been part of the Lichtenau community. In 2002 Biensdorf was hit by the severe flood of the century due to its location near the Zschopau .
Mining history in Biensdorf
In the area of the Merzdorfer mountain range up to the "Red Mountain" southwest of Biensdorf, mining for the extraction of metals was probably already practiced in prehistoric times. Evidence in this regard was found in sporadic investigations by archaeologists in the area of the Pingen and Haldenfelder in the immediate vicinity of the Biensdorf location and in 1935 through a historical find of medieval clay pots during the construction of a tennis court for a Chemnitz factory owner in Biensdorf. On the Roten Berg southwest of Biensdorf, mining has already been proven on the staircases on the eastern bank of the Zschopau at the time of the medieval mountain town of Bleiberg . In the Pingen and Haldenfeld of the Red Mountain, archaeological finds from the 13th and 14th centuries were close to this early date, but a beginning around the year 1000 is assumed. There has been no evidence of mining on the Red Mountain since the 18th century. The area was dominated by forestry.
The non-contiguous mine field between Merzdorf and Biensdorf extended from the gently sloping slopes on the Zschopau to Merzdorfer Flur as far as Biensdorf. Due to the relatively flat structure of the terrain, the traces of mining were removed again in the 18th century between 1730 and 1785 in order to use the area for agriculture. Historical sources about mining on the Merzdorf ridge can be found in the Marienberg mountain area in the Freiberg mountain archive , to whose external department the area west of the Zschopau belonged. There is evidence of mining in the area of the mountain slope from Biensdorf to Düstergrund, which was formerly known as “Der Stoln Born”. In this wooded valley cut the remains of heaps and pings, as well as a broken mouth hole have been preserved to this day. In the upper part of the bottom are the remains of drained ponds and the fenced-in pinge of a shaft. The self-employed Johann Christian Lauttenbach overpowered the "Maria Josepha Erbstolln" in 1736 to investigate the Pingen and Haldenfeld. At the time of uranium prospecting by SAG Wismut in the Erzgebirge foothills between 1949 and 1951, the shaft was opened. This results in the enlarged ping that is visible today. The stream running through the Düstergrund was piped by the LPG in the GDR times , so that it only flows below the ground in the meadow area on the surface of the day.
Another extensive former mining area is the Erzberg east of the Biensdorf location, which, however, is already on Merzdorfer Flur. Between 1756 and 1790, an investigation into the medieval Pingen and Haldenfeld was used to create the “Lord's Help” for private laborers. However, the ores could not be mined due to the too high watercourses. In 1831 the mountain buildings and trade unions "Old Hope Erbstolln" in Schönborn , "Reicher and New Blessings of God" in Sachsenburg , "Help of the Lord including Bald Glück Erbstolln" in Biensdorf and Krumbach to form the communal mining company "Old Hope Erbstolln" in Schönborn. Around 1850 there were still more than 300 pings. As part of the uranium prospection of the SAG Wismut between 1949 and 1951, the Wismut opened a tunnel, which today is a visitor mine as the so-called "Wismut tunnel". At that time, the Pingen and Haldenfeld was examined for uranium using trenches .
The bismuth tunnel and the area around the “Help of the Lord” treasure trove with numerous pings and shafts is now a visitor mine.
