history

In 1735, Friedrich Anton I , Prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt , awarded the glass painter Nicol Greiner and the glass masters Georg Heinrich Greiner and Hans Michael Heinz from Schmalenbuche the concession to build a glassworks in the district of Schwarzburg - Königsee near the village of Scheibe on the Habichtsberg.

From July 1736, the glassmakers began building the glassworks and the associated houses. Due to an addendum to the concession, the glassmakers had to join the glassworks syndicate before construction began and pay the syndicate a cash and goods deposit of 200 thalers. When the wives of the glassmasters sold glassware, although debts had not yet been settled, an arbitration date came up. Due to these conditions, the glassmakers could no longer meet their debt obligations to the Blackburg rule. As a result, the Schwarzburgers no longer kept to the agreements and did not release the urgently needed wood contingents. The result was that the glassworks could not be operated for several years. Ultimately, the glassmakers were forced to sell parts of the works.

It was only when the Glücksthal glass master Johann Georg Greiner took over the payment of some debts that the ironworks could be resumed until around 1764.

On June 2, 1782, the glass dealers Jakob Faaz, Nicol Greiner and glass master Michael Heinz again applied for permission to restart the glassworks that their parents had left behind. The license was granted again on April 19, 1783. In 1790 Jakob Faaz went bankrupt. In order to be able to pay off his debts, he sells a quarter of the half of the hut belonging to him to Johann Georg Böhm from Lauscha. He has to leave the second quarter to the father of his deceased wife, the glass master Johann Friedrich Heinz.

Although a forest inspection protocol from 1795 mentions that the area of ​​the Habichtsbacher Hütte is stripped of all wood, it has to be introduced at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century due to the influx, especially of sheet glassmakers from the Bohemian region plate glass production and a transfer of ownership of the glassworks to the Donopsche Spiegelfabrik from Köppelsdorf near Sonneberg gave a brief economic upswing. But as early as 1815 the glassworks lay fallow again.

In 1819 the revision files read that the inhabitants of the "isolated nest Habichtsbach" feed on cut trees.

In 1834 the shares in the glassworks were forcibly replaced by the Chamber in Rudolstadt . According to the entry in the church register, "5 families with 25 souls" lived there at this time. They owned 4 cows, 3 calves, 2 goats and 1 pig. The Böhm family from Habichtsbach settled in a house in Scheibe in 1838, which the Schwarzburg rulers made available for them to replace the Habichtsbach buildings. This house was equipped with a few pieces of land and is said to have burned down around 1900.

Even today, the Habichtsbach poachers are mostly known to the local population.
