history
As early as the first documentary mention of Hutten in 1445, two hammer and two blacksmiths were mentioned ("czwene hemmer adir czwey smedewerg"). Some of the iron smelted there was extracted locally from Roteisenstein , the vast majority of which came from iron ore mines around Berggießhübel .
In 1552 Georg Schwarz took over the ironworks of the late hammer master Hans Rabe, which he had only relocated from Giesenstein near Gottleuba to Hütten in 1541 . Georg Schwarz had been a citizen of Dresden since 1553 and a member of the Dresden City Council from 1560–1586. In the 1560s, Georg Schwarz also built a paper mill on his smelter site ; its first documentary mention in the register extract of the Königsteiner Church is dated 1569. In 1577 the Freiberg papermaker Hieronymus Schaffhirt sued the elector against Schwarz because he had unjustifiably set up a paper mill in the rag collection district, which was assigned to him with the privilege of the elector. ( Rags were the raw material basis for paper production.) Processing took place for decades; the Freiberg paper mill did not exist for long.
While the ironworks was no longer run by Georg Schwarz's descendants from 1586, the paper mill survived. From 1627 to 1698 it was alternately leased and owned by the Hain or Hayn family. In 1861 she fell victim to a damaging fire. Dr. Alwin Rudel and Karl Louis Kaufmann set up a paper mill with the first paper machine in Hütten in the area of the 300 year old paper mill (manufactory) in the 1860s . In 1876 the factory became the property of Hugo Hoesch , who expanded it into a modern fine paper factory in the following decades, in which high-quality writing and printing papers, including those with watermarks, were produced - from the First World War to the end of the Second World War also for banknote paper the Deutsche Reichsdruckerei.
Hugo Hoesch, who had also been the head of the Hütten community since 1879, was given the honorary title of Kommerzienrat in 1888 , served as vice-president from 1891 to 1907 and then as president of the Dresden Horse Racing Club until his death in 1916, and in 1907 he became a member of the 1. Appointed Royal Chamber of Estates. In 1912, King Hugo Hoesch and his family were raised to hereditary nobility.
Expropriated and nationalized after the Second World War and reprivatised after the fall of the Wall , the factory today belongs to the Louisenthal GmbH paper mill of the Giesecke & Devrient Group . Today, the factory produces particularly forgery-proof banknote and security paper, which is exported to more than 100 countries.
The Bad Königsbrunn cold water sanatorium was located in Hütten until the 20th century . In July 1901, the Bielatalbahn opened in trial operation as a trackless overhead line. It connected the Königstein train station with the paper mill. In August of that year it was extended to the sanatorium directly behind it. In September 1904 the railway was discontinued due to lack of profitability and relocated to Wurzen .
The community of Hütten was incorporated into the city of Königstein in 1933.
