Schönborn, Gut Wolfsberg

Schönborn in the valley of the Zschopau was mentioned in 1350 as "Schonburn", the settlement Drei Werden in Schönborner Flur was mentioned as "Drinwerdin" as early as 1292. The manorial rule over Schönborn, Drei Werden and the Vorwerk Wolfsberg mentioned in the 18th century lasted until the 19th century Century at the Neusorge manor . The reign of Neusorge , which was sold to the Elector Christian II of Saxony in 1610 , has belonged to the Augustusburg office since then with the associated places . In 1832, most of the places previously under the administration of the Neusorge manor, including Schönborn, Drei Werden and the Wolfsberg Vorwerk, were assigned to the Frankenberg-Sachsenburg office. From 1856, when he was three, Schönborn belonged to the Mittweida court office and from 1875 to the Rochlitz administration .

The history of ore mining in Schönborn, attested to since the 13th century, ended in 1885, which culminated in silver mining in the 19th century. Franz Eduard Weidenmüller, who had worked in the Antonshütte near Schwarzenberg / Erzgeb since 1865, acquired the building and land of the mine in Drei Werden in 1887 . owned a wood grinding shop that became a paper mill. In 1906/07 Weidenmüller built the large "FE Weidenmüller paper factory" at the former site of the mine in Drei Werden, where he employed workers from the Antonshütte. Since May 15, 1907, the paper mill had its own siding on the newly opened Mittweida – Drei Werden industrial railway . The tracks of the railway reached almost to the end of the former loading point of the silver washing on the ore railway, which at that time had not existed for 20 years. By contrast, the Drei Werden loading station on the standard-gauge industrial railway was located north of the “Talstraße” / “Zum Zschopautal” intersection. In connection with the construction of the Drei Werden paper mill, the houses of the Drei Werden factory estate were built in the English style between 1907 and 1921. The houses of the settlement in the streets “Zum Zschopautal”, “Lindenstraße” and “Neuschönborner Weg” are now listed as a whole. Further workers' apartments were built around 1935 on the property owned by the Weidenmüller company in Liebenhain downstream.

In 1933 the community of Schönborn was renamed with the district Drei Werden and Gut Wolfsberg in Schönborn-Drei Werden. With the second district reform in the GDR, the community of Schönborn-Drei Werden became part of the Hainichen district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Hainichen in 1990 and in the district of Mittweida in 1994 and 2008 rose in the Central Saxony district. With the amalgamation of the municipalities of Schönborn-Drei Werden and Seifersbach , the municipality of Schönborn-Drei Werden- Seifersbach was created on January 1, 1992, and was incorporated into Rossau on January 1, 1999 . In 1992, the operation of the factory, which was run as " VEB Papierfabrik Drei Werden" during the GDR era, ended at the end of the line through the Mittweida industrial railway. The area of the Drei Werden paper mill was last used by a sawmill and timber export, which however moved out in 2017.

History of mining in Schönborn and the age of three

Ore mining began in Schönborn in the second half of the 13th century. In the area of the "Biege", where the Zschopau runs in a loop due to a ridge, the ore veins extend to the surface of the earth. After this early near-surface mining probably came to a standstill in the 14th century, mining was resumed in 1525.

Due to the boom in Saxon mining at the end of the 17th century, the pits in the Schönborn district were also re-occupied. In 1695, PC Zeidler was lent an inheritance tunnel and a treasure trove on a spar course called "Old Hope". Although ores containing silver were encountered, mining had to be temporarily stopped in 1714 due to the excessive amount of water entering, as it was too costly to extract.

After a tunnel on the Wolfsberg was cleared in 1736, the "Old Hope" tunnel in the "Biege" was re-occupied in 1753. At the same time the “Diebshäusel-Stolln” was also operated in Schönborn. The "Wildemann-Stolln" near Wolfsberg was built between 1776 and 1781. In 1831 the mountain buildings and trade unions "Old Hope Erbstolln" in Schönborn, "Reicher and New Blessings of God" in Sachsenburg , "Help of the Lord and Bald Glück Erbstolln" in Biensdorf and Krumbach to form the communal mining company "Old Hope Erbstolln" in Schönborn. In 1843/44 Christian Friedrich Brendel constructed the first turbine in Freiberg mining for the "Alte Hoffnung Erbstolln" in Schönborn .

The ore railway was built between 1858 and 1859, which transported the ores from the silver mine "Alte Hope Erbstolln" extracted from a depth of 298 meters by rail to the ore washing in Drei Werden. There the ores were then processed for the smelting process that took place in Freiberg ( Muldenhütten ).

Due to the constantly falling prices for silver, lead and sulfur, ore mining became increasingly uneconomical from 1873 onwards due to the increasing costs of extraction with increasing depth and length of the pit and the decreasing proceeds from the ore supplied. The strong water inflow in the tunnel continued to hinder the economic operation of the mine, so that it was closed on December 31, 1885 by resolution of the Saxon State Parliament. In the 19th century, the workforce increased from one steiger and four miners in 1831 to 299 miners arriving in 1864. In the year of closure, there were 79. The ore railway for silver washing, which was no longer needed, subsequently fell into disrepair.

Between 1949 and 1950 the SAG Wismut examined the mine for uranium without success. Since 1978 the mine has been operated by the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Historischer Erzbergbau im Kulturbund der DDR” or its successor, the association “Alte Hoffnung Erbstolln eV”, through a subsequent use contract. The ore railway was rebuilt in 1998 by the association “Support group for historical mining in the central Zschopautal”, but now for passenger transport. This means that it is possible to drive to the gate of the silver mine in original mining cars.

History of the three-become mill

On the Zschopauinsel in Drei Werden, on which the turbine system of the waterworks stands today, was the mighty “Drei Werdener Mühle” and a silver pounding mill until the 19th century. The mill probably belonged to the Neusorge manor , which belonged to Count Heinrich von Bünau around 1787 . The three-become mill was probably built in 1617. It had six grinding aisles as well as a cutting and an oil mill and other buildings, a lot of farming and a salmon catch on the left bank. A forest property also belonged to the mill. The fishing of the profitable mill ended at the so-called "Amselstein", a rocky promontory on the left bank that reached far into the Zschopau.

The miners who were employed in the neighboring silver wash used to live in the old mill estate. The Drei Werdener Mühle housed a small inn, so that the miller was also an innkeeper. At that time a very narrow footbridge led from the cellar house over the mill ditch to the old mill. After the fire in 1897, the mill was not rebuilt.
