history
In 1827 Wilhelm Fischer (born August 29, 1796 in Wurzen; † November 11, 1884 in Dresden) was appointed Bergmeister of the Johanngeorgenstadt Mining Authority, where he was transferred to Marienberg until 1834 . Wilhelm Fischer made essential preparations in Johanngeorgenstadt for the merger of the various unions in Fastenberg , which was then realized in 1838 with the unification to form a union called United Field in Fastenberg . In Johanngeorgenstadt, he also dealt with technical experiments and innovations, for example the development of a rope tearing machine and the improvement of the processing and smelting of the ores.
Wilhelm Fischer, who had lived in Dresden since retiring, showed himself to be a patron of his former place of work, Johanngeorgenstadt. With a capital of 300 thalers, he set up the Haldensluster Foundation in 1865 , a foundation whose interest income was intended to support the relatives of unfortunate miners. Even after the city fire of 1867, he generously supported the city. With a subsequent donation in 1877, the hat house of the combined "Hohneujahr and Unverhofft Glück Fundgrube" (the horse gopel is now located there ) was to be bought up and the Haldenslust dump to be redesigned into a park. However, the donated money was not enough. The committee of the responsible mining district therefore decided to erect only a memorial stone for Wilhelm Fischer. However, there were protracted disputes about its establishment - not least because of the charges against Fischer in 1850. It was not until 1906 that the stone was erected not far from the Treue Freund Huthaus , far from the center of Johanngeorgenstadt. Only after the death of the operations director Ernst Rudolf Poller , Fischer's former opponent, in 1930 , was the monument to Wilhelm Fischer implemented on the Haldensluster Halde. The bronze medallion with the portrait of Fischer and the cast iron tablet did not survive the war and post-war years. The active for the preservation of monuments in the Kulturbund der GDR under the direction of the local writer and later honorary citizen Christian Teller caused the new production of both panels. The freshly restored memorial stone was unveiled on October 20, 1985 on Bergmann's Square . It was implemented in the Lapidarium at the Pferdegöpel in 1993 when it was rebuilt.
