history

A hunting lodge was built in the Grillenburg clearing from 1554 to 1558 on older foundation walls from the 13th century as the seat of the Tharandt-Grillenburg office. The place came into being as a rural community only after the settlement in 1780 at the instigation of the local forest and game master. In 1837 Grillenburg was parish off to Dorfhain , today it belongs to the Tharandt parish. The school was also located in Dorfhain until its own building was built in 1877. Until 1827 Grillenburg belonged to the Grillenburg office and from 1856 to the Tharandt court office. Since 1875 Grillenburg belonged to the administrative authority of Dresden and during the district reform in 1952 it became part of the Freital district (later the district ). On January 1, 1973, Grillenburg was incorporated by law into the Hartha health resort and officially recognized as a resort. In 1994 Grillenburg became part of the Weißeritzkreis formed from the Freital and Dippoldiswalde districts . In 1999, by law, Grillenburg became part of the Kurort Hartha and part of the city of Tharandt. In 2008 Grillenburg became part of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district and in December 2010 it was again recognized by the state as a resort. In 2014 Grillenburg successfully participated in the district competition Our village has a future .

Name story

1557 Grillenburg was as Gryllenburg known or 1560 as Grüllenburg , 1564 as Grillenberg . From 1592 the place was mentioned as Grillenburgk or Nawbaw and in 1660 again as Grüllenburg . In 1791 it was called Grillenberg and was finally called Grüllenburg again in 1875 . The place name is derived from a poem from 1558 that the Elector August I of Saxony, as the builder of the Grillenburg hunting lodge , wanted to drive away his crickets on the hunt in the sense of worries after the death of his brother Moritz .

Fire extinguishing

The historic syringe house on the Schlossteich in Grillenburg once housed one of the three Grillenburg fire brigades . In 1803 the community acquired its first fire engine , which was placed in the hunting lodge and received its first fire engine there in 1806. From 1837 onwards, the Grillenburg Revierförsterei (Seerenteichstraße 13) and from 1843 onwards the receipt of road money (Hauptstraße 14) each had their own hand-operated sprayer due to their different responsibilities . Grillenburg should therefore represent a uniqueness in the history of fire services, because the place had only 79 inhabitants and three fire departments at that time.

The fire brigade's restored syringe house was built in 1852 and today serves as a warehouse for the leaseholder of the gondola operation on the castle pond. The historical inscription Feuerwehr zu Grüllenburgk. 1852. reminds us that the place has only been officially called Grillenburg since 1895. A hand-operated syringe from around 1900 on permanent loan from the state forest company still reminds us of the beginnings of fire fighting in the village. In 1942 the compulsory fire brigade is mentioned for the first time, which was equipped with a portable pump trailer (TSA) in 1948 and converted into a voluntary fire brigade in 1949.

The technology of the command post of the Grillenburg fire brigade, which continued to exist after the municipal reform, consisted of a newer TSA from 1972 with a portable pump (TS 8/8) from 1969 until 2014. The TSA was used by a state forest vehicle until 1990 and then by a vehicle from the local GKNZ Waldpflege GmbH moved to the site and since 1988 has been housed in an extension of the former schoolhouse from 1877 (Gasthaus Zur Alten Schule ). Sufficient extinguishing water is available through the ponds around the Jagdschloss Grillenburg and an air raid shelter from 1956 that was flooded as an extinguishing water cistern . In the summer of 2014, the volunteer fire brigade received a portable fire pump (TSF) and moved to the former forest training facility. The garages there have served as a fire station ever since.

Personalities

traffic

Grillenburg was first developed supraregionally through the Hohe Straße Freiberg - Dohna , the old Meißner Straße between Meißen and Bohemia and the Fürstenweg in the course of the Frankenstraße (today: Saxon Way of St. James ). In 1828 the Dresden -Freiberger- Chaussee was built through the Tharandt forest and in 1832–62 the post course Dresden - Freiberg (- Nuremberg ) was run over this route. Today the place is on the state road 194 (part of the holiday road Sächsisch-Böhmische Silberstraße ), where the state road 189 from Klingenberg-Colmnitz joins the state road 194. Both streets were part of the Grillenburg triangle , on which motorcycle races were held from 1927 to 1933, most recently as the 1st Sachsenring . Grillenburg is connected to the local public transport of the Upper Elbe Transport Association by the bus routes of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains regional transport . In 1935 / 58-2012 this also included the Dresden - Annaberg line . The nearest train stations are Klingenberg-Colmnitz and Tharandt. The nearest airport is Dresden Airport.
