Location of Blechhammer in Saxony

Blechhammer is a settlement on the Wilzsch that belongs to the Carlsfeld district of the town of Eibenstock in the Saxon Erzgebirge district .

Surname

The former sheet metal hammer, which used the water power of the Wilzsch for the drive, probably gave it its name.

geography

Blechhammer is located in the Western Ore Mountains at an altitude of about 725  m above sea level. NN at the confluence of the Kleine Wilzsch in the Wilzsch . State road 276 leads through the settlement from Wilzschhaus to Carlsfeld . According to the natural map of Saxony , the settlement is located in the microgeochore "Carlsfelder Wilzsch-Tal" and is part of the mesogeochore "Eibenstocker Bergrücken". Downstream of Wilzsch is the former Wilzschmühle settlement .

climate

The Wilzsch valley area, with an annual mean temperature of 5.1 ° C to 6.1 ° C (downstream), is one of the coldest areas in the upper Western Ore Mountains. In terms of air movement, it is one of the valleys with low exchange rates and the resulting special risk of frost. In the Wilzsch area there are "wind-protected, but frost-prone valleys due to radiation deficits", numerous foggy days and "sunny and shady slopes".

history

In the area of ​​the forest area between Eibenstock, Zwickauer Mulde and Wilzsch, characterized by the Riedertberg ( 775  m above sea level ), profitable tin mining was practiced as early as 1500. Not far from the mouth of the Kleine Wilzsch there was a stamping mill that was used to process the ore extracted from the two tin mines “Vordere and Hintere Schmochau”. In 1805 a sheet metal hammer is mentioned as "the Carlsfelder, bey dem Flecken Carlsfeld" in a report about the tin hammers in the Ore Mountains . It is unclear whether it is the one in Carlsfeld or one in Blechhammer. In sheet 211 of the Sächsische Meilen Blätter from 1791 there is the entry “Blech- und Eisen-Hammer” for Blechhammer. Blechhammer has existed as a settlement since the beginning of the 19th century. On a map from around 1900, the settlement is referred to as "Blech- und Eisenhammer" . In the immediate vicinity there was a rod hammer and a sawmill, the board mill. Wilzsch's water power was also used for a wood grinding shop. As a wood pulp factory, it was a branch of the paper factory and wood grinding company Gustav Bretschneider GmbH founded shortly before 1900 in Schönheiderhammer in the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde . After the parent company went bankrupt in 1933, it acquired a company in Grünstädtel. It is not known until when the wood grinding shop existed. Blechhammer experienced a great increase in importance with the construction of the Wilkau-Haßlau-Carlsfeld narrow-gauge railway , which was given its own stop here and opened on June 22, 1897 between Wilzschhaus and Carlsfeld. Around 1900 tourism flourished in Blechhammer, which led to the establishment of a street inn that no longer exists today. A waterfall was marketed as a sight.

One of the milestones that were set up in Saxony between 1859 and 1866 is located east of the village in the area of ​​the former railway stop at the junction of the Kleiner Wilzschweg . This stone was restored after 1990.

Blechhammer belonged to the municipality of Carlsfeld and was incorporated into the town of Eibenstock in 1997.
