history

Blosenberg was first mentioned in 1296 as "Plozinberch". The name suggests a place on the bare mountain, in the sense of bald mountain. The village has block corridors and strip corridors . The farmsteads were subject to feudal rights to different manors . So had Wiedersberg , Posseck , Sachs Green , Heinersgrün and Hartmannsgrün in Oelsnitz the basic rule in Blosenberg. The place was parish after Wiedersberg.

The place is likely to have been shaped by the immediate location on the old imperial road Via Imperii and the associated soldiers passing through in times of war. On the miles sheets from Saxony on the “Poststrasse from Hof ​​to Plauen” near Blosenberg, for example, an “old ski jump ” and a “ Galgenpoel ” are recorded. The place belonged to the Voigtsberg office until the 19th century .

Around 1900 Blosenberg experienced a significant decrease in population. The reason was the general emigration of labor from the villages to the cities, the centers of industry, in this case mainly to Plauen . Between 1890 and 1910, i.e. in just 20 years, the population of Blosenberg fell from 339 to 180. Whole farms were abandoned and fell into disrepair.

After the Second World War , life in the village was significantly affected by the proximity to the inner-German border . The road to Hof was closed and mined on the GDR side . Due to its location in the 5 km exclusion zone , from 1952 the place could only be reached with a pass. A single homestead belonging to Blosenberg on the way to Heinersgrün was destroyed by the GDR border troops . A tall observation tower and accommodation were built on the Blosenberg . From the tower, the Soviet Army ( GSSD ) monitored the radio communications of the American army stationed in the Bavarian court .

In 1968 Blosenberg was incorporated into Wiedersberg. After the end of the GDR, the border installations were largely removed. The striking observation tower on the Blosenberg disappeared in 2010. Today the mountain belongs to the nature reserve (NSG) An der Ullitz, part of the nature conservation project Green Belt Germany , which stretches along the former border. Large parts of the adjoining NSG Himmelreich also belong to the Blosenberg district .
