history

Around 1800 a certain Kurt Gessler applied to build a water-powered spinning mill in the Bornwald near Richter's mill . Construction finally began around 1820.
At that time, the black pond was created in its current size. In addition, starting from there, a relatively wide canal was laid to Richter's Mühle (also Bornwaldmühle ), the location of the spinning mill.
In 1830 the spinning mill (also Winklermühle ) burned down completely, as the then Krumhermersdorf pastor Höfel noted in a chronicle. The building was later rebuilt and some houses were built in the immediate vicinity. In 1831, Fritsche's cotton mill had 2,778 spindles . On 28 October 1854, the plant burned down again and remained as a ruin desolate lie.

The entire settlement existed until after the construction of the dams Neunzehnhain I in 1907 and Neunzehnhain II in 1914. As a result of the dam construction, the Bornwald became a drinking water protection area. As a result, all houses were completely demolished except for the forest barn that still exists today and the ruins of the spinning mill.
