history

Hammermill Halsbach

Halsbach was mentioned in 1294 as "Habichsbach". The place flourished at the time of mining in Freiberg. Halsbach is a scattered settlement and its location on the Freiberg Mulde later favored it as an industrial area . The manorial rule over Halsbach lay with the Halsbach manor until the 19th century . Until 1856, Halsbach belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon District Office Freiberg . In 1856, Halsbach was affiliated to the Freiberg judicial office and in 1875 to the Freiberg district administration. Through the second district reform in the GDR , Halsbach came to the Freiberg district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Freiberg from 1990 and was added to the district of Central Saxony in 2008.

On January 1, 1979, Halsbach was incorporated into Freiberg. Since then it has formed the easternmost district of Freiberg.

economy

Types of industry

There were also ore washes that crushed the rock after it had been mined for melting. Several seam stands that supplied the smelters with coal were also important .

Today's meaning

Former Rittergut Halsbach Kreuzermark

Today, Halsbach is only one part of the city of Freiberg that is used as a residential area. With the loss of the importance of Freiberg silver ore, all smelters and similar buildings connected with silver mining were closed and most of them demolished by the end of the 18th century . More than 300 people live in Halsbach, mostly in their own homes. Today, Halsbach is mainly a hiking and forest area.
