history

Formation of the Schnorrschen good

The first spelling of the mountain was Brünnlasberg or Brünnlassberg and is derived from "let the Brünnlein" and thus describes a source area. According to the first surviving chronicles, a Vorwerk was founded in 1550 on the meadow slopes between Aue and Gleesberg , whose owner was Veit Hans Schnorr von Carolsfeld at the end of the 17th century . The Brünlasgut was a free estate, that is, it did not belong to any municipality. In addition to the drift , Hutung and hunting was the case with the rights of brewing , Schänkens , slaughtering and baking facilities. According to archival research by Walter Fröbe , it is assumed that the Brünlasgut is older than the documentary mentions: In the official inheritance book from 1533, for example, there is a note that a Michael Burger is responsible for the Brünlasgut. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that a predecessor complex already existed at this point. The reason may have been that before the mountain town of Schneeberg was founded, a traffic route from Chemnitz via Stollberg, Schlema, Niederschlema in the direction of Eibenstock to the Frühbusser Pass passed by. According to older information, there is said to have been a moat here and a control room . Provided that these reports correspond to the historical truth, today's local researchers assume that the Brünlasgut or its predecessor was a Walgut (fortified estate) at that time and was created to protect the traffic route and its users.

In the following time the property remained in the possession of the Schnorrrs and was therefore called Schnorrsches Gut by the citizens of the area . For 1682 and 1728 it is documented that the Brünlasgut belonged to Aue and thus had the same rights and obligations as the citizens of the city. In 1792 the tax collector Friedrich-Wilhelm Schnorr bought the estate from the other Schnorrschen heirs for 5,100 thalers. Reports from that time suggest a rather stately property: fields, meadows, gardens with arbors and ponds were among them. It is also said to have been a popular and much-used excursion destination for the Schneebergers, for which Schnorr had a dance and social center built in 1809. In Schumann's state, post and newspaper lexicon, a small sheep farm and fruit plantations are mentioned for 1820. There was also a children's playground and sometimes bird shooting took place.

New owners expand the facility

In 1818 Christian Looß bought the property and leased it. In 1826, Looß had an inn built on the Schneeberg-Aue road, which was under construction, but administratively it belonged to Niederschlema. Nevertheless, the name Brünlas or Brünlasgut became common for this inn; it no longer only referred to the estate. After another owner, the estate was called Heinzegut from 1845 onwards . In 1849 a fire destroyed the inn, but it was soon rebuilt and now established itself as a popular excursion destination.

The Peuschelgüter

The next owner of the manor was the Peuschel family, for whose male heirs the property was divided into two parts. The goods were now called Peuschelgüter and belonged to the municipality of Niederschlema until they were incorporated into Aue in 1937. A street leading through the residential area with the name "An den Gütern" indicates the development.

The landowners ran a mountain inn with “pleasant guest rooms” for carters and craftspeople. This was moved down the slope to Schneeberger Straße in 1826 and expanded in 1875. There was also a sports field.

Removal of the last parts of the estate in favor of a new residential area

After the Second World War , the rationed food and the use of the inn as accommodation for miners of the beginning uranium mining in Wismut led to the cessation of the inn. At the beginning of the 1960s, large parts of the estate and the Brünlasberg inn were demolished in order to gain construction freedom for a completely new residential area. The foundation stone for the Brünlasberg residential area was laid in 1969 on the plateau on the then main road 169 between Aue and Schneeberg . In 1970 the assembly work began according to plans by the office for urban development in Karl-Marx-Stadt and was completed in 1972. 4,000 people received modern apartments, and a crèche, a school with a gym and a kindergarten were also built. The built-up area of ​​the mountain slope is around 30,500 m².

Brünlasberg after 1990

After the fall of the Wall in 1990, all prefabricated buildings on the Brünlasberg were extensively renovated and modernized. Most of the residential buildings in the city until then went to the Gebrüder Leonhardt Dr. Winkler GmbH, who carry out further modernizations, also had new buildings built in some cases. The kindergarten was converted into the Brünlasberg Aue special needs school in the Aue-Schwarzenberg district. The former school on Professor-Dr.-Dieckmann-Strasse became a senior citizens' center for people's solidarity , which offers supervised accommodation.
