history

Kleinolbersdorf Church

Kleinolbersdorf

The first mention of it comes from the year 1322, when Olbersdorf was transferred from the Lords of Schellenberg to the Chemnitz Monastery . After the abolition of the monasteries at the time of the Reformation , the place came under the supervision of the lordly office of Chemnitz . The spelling Alberßdorf has been handed down from 1541 . It was distinguished from other places with the same name by adding "Klein-".

In the center of the village, today's new building was built in 1789 after a fire in the medieval church, which had been rebuilt several times. In addition to around 20 goods, there were 26 houses in 1830. A stocking factory that existed around 1900 employed 60 people, a furniture factory 20 people. The greater number of workers went to factories in Chemnitz. In the 1970s three quarters of the working population worked in Chemnitz (then Karl-Marx-Stadt).

"Sternmühle" restaurant

As early as 1540 there was talk of a "board mill" in the Schwarzbachtal - today the valley is named after the "star mill". In it, boards were sawn from logs, but even then there was a bakery and a pub. Official tapping began in 1844, when the then owner August Bergt received the tapping license for the mill now known as the "Sternmühle". The “Sternmühle” is known, among other things, for the facade of a side building designed by the Grüna artist Gerhard Franke , in which the history of the inn is pictured.

The excursion destination popular with the Chemnitz people is surrounded by the Black Forest and a junction of numerous hiking trails.

Altenhain

Altenhain was first mentioned as "Altenheyn" in 1317, when "Ullrich von Ywan " sold the Altenhain forest that belonged to him to the Chemnitz monastery. In 1331 the place name Aldenhayne was written . In 1548 it was one of the official villages of the Chemnitz Office , which was formed from the secularized property of the Chemnitz Monastery. In 1810 there were 17 farms, in 1902 there were 16 farms with a total area of ​​about 485 hectares. The village had always been parish to Kleinolbersdorf since 1539, but has a Methodist chapel. Agriculture dominated the economy, and a stocking factory also operated for a while. In the GDR era there was VEB Messtechnik, which had 30 employees, and VEB Gestellbau, which was founded in 1972 and which emerged from a furniture factory.

"Goldener Hahn" inn

In the upper part of Altenhain , in the direction of Zschopau, there is the “Goldener Hahn” inn. In 1738, an Altenhainer liege judge received the electoral approval to build the carter and relaxation inn "Alterhahn". A blacksmith's workshop was set up there in 1798. The bar has survived to this day and celebrated its 375th anniversary in 2013. A legend says that when Napoleon's troops marched in, a rooster crowed and woke the defense, which meant that the invading troops could be defeated. Hence the name Golden Rooster.
