history
As the highest village of the Schwarzenberg rule , Breitenbrunn was probably only founded in the 13th century. Based on the size of the corridor and the layout, it can be determined that initially no more than ten families settled. The village "Breitinprun" was first mentioned in a document in a copy book of the Burgraves of Leisnig in 1380 , when the mining rights for a tin mine were reassigned. Even before Breitenbrunn was founded, there was a rampart above the later settlement with a watchtower, a moat and a small Vorwerk to protect the Schwarzenberg dominion at its southernmost point. Since there was a spring inside the moat, the moat was called a "wide well". The name was soon adopted for the newly founded village.
The Breitenbrunn paper mill in the village , from which Johann Sebastian Bach, among others, obtained his music paper, had historical significance .
Incorporations
On July 1, 1998, Antonsthal was incorporated into the Antonshöhe district . Erlabrunn followed on July 1, 2005 with the Steinheidel district and Rittersgrün with the Tellerhäuser district on January 1, 2007.
Religions
Before the Reformation, Breitenbrunn was part of the Schwarzenberg parish. During this period a chapel was built, which was dedicated to Saint Peter. The community became a Schwarzenberg branch. After the Reformation, Breitenbrunn became a subsidiary of the newly created parish of Grünstädtel . In the 1590s, the St. Christophorus Church was built in place of the old chapel. The location at the upper end of the town made it easier for the residents of the parish neighboring town of Rittersgrün to march to church services, which was particularly strenuous in the winter months.
Today, in addition to the Evangelical Lutheran St. Christoph Congregation, there is also a congregation of the Evangelical Methodist Church.
Population development
In 1533 there were 25 sates (farm owners) in Breitenbrunn and 24 in 1586, which corresponds to about 200 inhabitants. In 1780 there were 122 houses here and as early as 1801 there were 2,250 inhabitants in Breitenbrunn.
With the bismuth mining , several thousand miners moved to Breitenbrunn after 1945, who mainly lived in the newly built settlement on the Rabenberg, but moved away again after the mining ended.
After the fall of the Wall, the population continued to decline. It is true that the absolute number of inhabitants increased due to the incorporation of Antonsthal (1998) and above all Rittersgrün (2006). In relation to the current territorial status, however, it fell from 7667 on October 3, 1990 to 5491 on December 31, 2015. H. by over 28%. This trend is expected to continue. According to statistical projections, the population could decrease to 84.3–87.4% by 2030 (2014 = 100%).
