history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1528. The community assumes 1604. In this year the first hammer mill was set up in Hüttengrund. The settlement finally owned three hammer mills. Later, a hammer mill was converted into a rolling mill . The other two became sawmills. Later the sawmills served the operational part of VEB-Sternradio-Sonneberg. In 2013 there was a hardware store, craft businesses and restaurants. Private quarters are set up for tourism.

With the construction of a road from Köppelsdorf to Blechhammer, with continuation along the Steinach to Steinach or via the Egnitztal to Gräfenthal, the connection to the long-distance traffic routes took place between 1843 and 1854. With the Steinachtalbahn , Blechhammer received a connection to the railway network with the station of the same name on October 1, 1886. At the beginning of the 20th century a road was built through the Bocksbachtal to Judenbach. This was closed in the 1950s due to the exclusion zone in which Judenbach was located.

In 1848, Blechhammer and Hüttengrund were merged to form the new municipality of Hüttengrund, which in 1994 became part of the unified municipality of Engnitzthal and in 1997 it became part of the municipality of Oberland am Rennsteig . This was dissolved at the end of 2013 and incorporated into the city of Sonneberg.

In 1998, the German Alpine Association set up a climbing garden in a former Grauwackesteinbruch , which was converted into a climbing rock and located in the Bocksbachtal on the road to the climbing garden (Judenbacher Straße until 2015).
