history
The first mention of the place as Crahenzal dates from 1367 in a document issued by Emperor Charles IV in Stollberg . After the cession of the so-called "Prager Zipfels" to the Archdiocese of Prague , the place belonged to the Grünhain Monastery, founded in 1235 . The settlement is said to have taken place around 1150 by Main Franconian farmers. The mining industry and the location on the salt road , which at that time led from Halle to Bohemia , can be seen as possible reasons for the settlement . In 1529 the Reformation was introduced in the area of the Grünhain monastery, to which Cranzahl belonged . Until 1556 the inhabitants of Cranzahl had to go to church in Schlettau. In 1556 three citizens of Cranzahl arranged for a church to be built in the village at their own expense. This building was replaced by today's church in 1910. In 1818 August Schumann mentions Cranzahl in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning a. a .:
“The village has over 100 houses and around 650 inhabitants. There are two mills on the Sehma. "
On August 3, 1872, Cranzahl received a railway connection to the Zschopautalbahn with the stop of the same name . With the start of construction in April 1896 and the opening of the narrow-gauge railway Cranzahl-Kurort Oberwiesenthal on July 20, 1897, which has its starting point in Cranzahl, extensive extensions of the railway systems and upgrading to the station were carried out.
In addition to agriculture and forestry, ore mining was an important source of income until the 16th century. Thereafter, the trimmings became important.
In 1876 the "steam saw and planing mill / construction and timber dealership" was founded in Cranzahl. In 1896 it employed 20 people. In 1972 the company was nationalized and in 1990 it was re-privatized. In the period that followed, the technical systems were adapted to the current state of the art and in 1995 the production range was expanded. The company traded as "Säge- und Hobelwerk Cranzahl GmbH". Due to bankruptcy, operations were stopped in early 2013.
In 1895 the foundation for the "Erzgebirgische Tüllweberei mbH Cranzahl" founded in 1910 was laid with the construction of a later main building and the manufacture of wooden articles. In that year the production was switched from the wood to the textile industry, as well as the manufacture of tulle and paper yarn . At that time, the company was an army supplier to the Imperial Army - sandbags for the First World War were made from paper thread . In 1917 the company was converted into a stock corporation, and the production spectrum was expanded to include sewing, embroidery and crochet threads as well as warp knitting. In 1921 a dye works was built.
In 1953 the company was transferred to public ownership and in 1957 the Cranzahl textile works were combined with the Cunersdorfer knitwear factory to form the “VEB Cunersdorfer Wirkwarenfabrik” based in Cranzahl and around 1000 employees. From 1959 to 1966 production was based on the Malimo technique . In 1966 the company was renamed “VEB Eminett Cranzahl”, products included nightwear, training clothes, jerseys and t-shirts / sweatshirts.
In 1991 the "Textilveredlung Erzgebirge GmbH & Co. KG" was founded as a sister company of the "Lindenfarb Textilveredlung Julius Probst GmbH & Co. KG" with 60 employees at the time. In the period that followed, machines and systems were modernized and production capacities expanded; in 2007 the company employed around 185 people.
On January 1, 1999, the previously independent municipalities of Cranzahl, Neudorf and Sehma merged to form the municipality of Sehmatal.

Ascension Church Cranzahl
Before 1556, Cranzahl belonged to the Schlettau parish . The hardships of going to church in Schlettau - especially in winter - prompted the Cranzahler citizens Jacobus Reppel, charcoal burner and judge Georg Födisch as well as the owner of the Rote Mühle , who was not known by name , to build their own church at their own expense.
Due to dilapidation, the roof turret was demolished on the occasion of the 300th anniversary in 1856 and a massive tower was built on the south side of the church, which made it possible to sound the bells again from 1859 without danger. After the middle bell broke in 1906, a completely new bell was purchased. When it arrived on May 6, 1907, it turned out that the tower could not accommodate it without major modifications. The tower was then torn down as far as the bell chamber, and a new belfry and a new tower dome were put on. At the end of 1907 it was given its present form.
In 1910, the church council decided to demolish the church building and then rebuild it. The plans come from the architect Woldemar Kandler , the construction company Götze from Annaberg took over the execution. The demolition began on May 17, 1910, the foundation stone was laid on July 3 and the church consecration took place on December 19 .
The organ from 1911 was of Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden created, renewed in 1954 and rescheduled . After the bells were removed for armament purposes during World War II , the church received four new steel bells in 1949.
The original painting from 1910 was restored in 1987/88, and various renovation measures have been taking place since 2002.
