history
Parents
In the Middle Ages, the place was on an important trade route between Halle and Prague , the salt route over the Pressnitz Pass . The name Elterlein is mostly derived from Altarlein , a small altar along this path. For the first time the Elterlein mentioned in documents 1406th Information that the place already existed in 1118 is not documented. The first mention of the city as a city is only documented in writing for 1483.
At the time of the Great Mountain Scream, Elterlein quickly gained importance due to the flourishing mining industry in the Ore Mountains. Around 1500 the city had its own mining authority for its mines . In the middle of the 19th century, as in the entire region, mining declined in Elterlein and was discontinued. However, numerous testimonies of old mining can still be found today. In addition to tunnels - mouth holes , heaps and quarries , the idyllic Black Pond , which was created at the end of the 16th century together with the artificial stone ditch to operate a colliery.
As a result of mining, manufacturing industries such as mills, hammer and steel mills emerged early on. During industrialization , Elterlein was next to Mittweida in March 1848, the scene of the nail smiths' uprising . This was directed against new factories, with which the nail smiths, as craftsmen and small entrepreneurs, could not compete in free competition and therefore saw their livelihoods threatened by them. In Elterlein, the insurgents stormed the Leinbrock factory.
Elterlein was often badly destroyed by several extensive city fires in 1662, 1676, 1719, 1861 and 1868.

In 1240, the forest hoof village Schwarzbach was first mentioned in a deed of ownership to the Grünhain monastery .
The place was incorporated on April 1, 1996.

Hermannsdorf is a forest hoof village that was probably settled around 1200 and was first mentioned in a document in 1460 . Here, too, up until 1873, in addition to agriculture, mining in particular shaped life for centuries and left visible signs such as the soapy ground with two mighty Raithalden.
The place was incorporated on January 1, 1999.
