history

Church in Brünlos

It was first mentioned as Průnlis around 1460 in the Zwickau Franciscan terminology book . The place name Brünlos is interpreted as a settlement on a well or a spring stream. In 1539 the village passed from the possession of the Stollberg manor to the lordly administrative administration of the Electorate of Saxony . In the associated community forest, mining was carried out on washing stone, a type of lawn iron stone . It is assumed that the Thalheimer Eisenhammer used this deposit. In addition to agriculture, the main income of the population was primarily the timber and peat trade and stocking knitting as wage labor. Around 1840 there were numerous roller mills in the 66 houses. At the end of the 19th century, five stocking factories were founded. During the GDR these belonged to the VEB Kombinat Esda, the Ernst Roscher stocking factory in Gornau and the VEB stocking factory Brünlos. The industry came to a complete standstill after reunification .

A field of 735 hectares was spread over the originally 16 farms. As early as 1953, initially three farmers founded the agricultural production cooperative Friendship . This received the Order Banner of Labor in 1960 and in 1962 managed the corridors of Günsdorf , Dorfchemnitz and Hoheneck with a total of 864 hectares and 240 members. The administration of this LPG was relocated to Dorfchemnitz after the merger with the neighboring villages. A second LPG called Heimatscholle cultivated 140 hectares of land from 1960 onwards.

The church of Brünlos was initially a branch church of the Stollberger St. Jacobikirche. The core of the village church dates from the 15th century, but was last extensively renovated in 1832/33. It was not until 1893 that Brünlos was able to break away from its mother church and became an independent parish. The organ was built by Johann Kralapp in 1893 . In its external appearance, the Brünlos church is a typical Erzgebirge village church with a roof turret . The historical furnishings include two altar figures from the 15th century and the baptismal font from 1600.

Since November 1st, 1999, Brünlos has been part of the city of Zwönitz.
