Erlabrunn has been part of the municipality of Breitenbrunn / Erzgeb since July 1, 2005 . in the Erzgebirge in Saxony .

geography

Erlabrunn is at an average altitude of 730 meters above sea level, behind the Brandberg on the two left tributaries of the Schwarzwassers Milchbach and Steinbach . Today's Breitenbrunn district borders the towns of Johanngeorgenstadt and Schwarzenberg as well as the Eibenstock district of Sosa . It is located on State Road 272 and has a stop on the Johanngeorgenstadt – Schwarzenberg railway line .

history

The place was first mentioned as Erlebrunn in 1591. Erlabrunn developed from a group of houses between the confluence of the Milchbach in the Steinbach and the Schwarzwasser in the electoral Saxon office of Schwarzenberg . Tin washers had settled here and operated several hundred “ laughing soaps ” in the Erlebrunn forest between Fällberg and Steinbach. The name is derived from the spring meadows near the former village of Erla . Apart from the soap bars, the people lived from logging and had the right to graze on hats , so they ran fields and livestock. It can be assumed that the tin workers built a small stamp mill to make their work easier, because according to a source "the Poch- und Zechenhäuschen" was sold in 1704. The Lattenschuppe tin pit was still in operation near Erlabrunn in the 19th century .

In 1883 the place received a breakpoint on the railway line from Schwarzenberg to Johanngeorgenstadt. In 1905 the Hotel Täumerhaus was opened. At that time Erlabrunn belonged to Steinheidel under municipal law, which had arisen as a scattered mining settlement on the northern slope of the Schwarzwassertal on the old connecting road from Schneeberg via Jägerhaus to Johanngeorgenstadt and into the Bohemian Karlsbad . The inhabitants lived as mountain farmers or artisans, as is the case with today's Hotel Alte Schleiferei , which was built on the site of a historic wood grinding shop.

Erlabrunn gained its importance through the miners' hospital, which was inaugurated in 1950, and the housing estates at the foot of the Märzenberg and Eselsberg ( Karl-Marx-Siedlung ) that arose in connection with the mining of the SDAG Wismut . In the course of the following years, apartments for the doctors and medical staff, supply facilities as well as kindergartens and a school building were built.

On the evening of July 29, 2005, a hurricane in Erlabrunn and the surrounding area caused numerous windbreak damage.

In order to stimulate tourism in this region of the Ore Mountains, the local administration, with the support of a private brewery ( Kuno-Bräu ) , organized the 1st Erlabrunn Brewery Festival on a summer weekend in 2010 .

Incorporations

The small village was incorporated into Steinheidel as early as the 19th century . After the Second World War , the municipality used the official double name Steinheidel-Erlabrunn until the current short form was introduced in 1967. With the re-establishment of the federal state of Saxony and the reorganization of districts, Erlabrunn finally came to Breitenbrunn as a district in 2005.

Population development

In 1755 10 residents of a mountain-free house in Erlabrunn were mentioned. Between 1834 (= 143 inhabitants) and 1939 (= 311 inhabitants) the population of Erlabrunn-Steinheidel doubled. Due to the bismuth there was enormous growth, which fell sharply after its closure around 1991. Today mainly older people live in Erlabrunn; the population is declining.
