The 686.6  m above sea level. NHN high mountain Hammerkogel is located in the area of ​​the community Schönheide between the Upper Keilberg ( 689.1  m above sea  level ) and the Lower Keilberg ( 686  m above sea  level ) west of the forest road "Hammergockel", which leads from the valley of the Zwickauer Mulde towards Schönheide leads.

description

The mountain is located 800 meters north of the Zwickauer Mulde in the mesogeochore "Eibenstocker Bergrücken" in the contiguous forest area that gradually descends from the microgeochore "Schönheider Kuppengebiet" and then steeply to the Zwickauer Mulde in the microgeochore "Rautenkranz-Schönheider Mulde Valley". The area is completely planted with forest, mainly spruce . A mixed forest was planted south of the mountain after the Second World War on a clear cut in the late 1940s . Geologically, the area belongs to the Eibenstock granite massif. The Keilbach flows to the west of the mountain, and to the east is a brook that was first referred to in the topographical map of 2012 as the "Hochmoorbächel" and was unnamed in earlier maps. Both streams are left tributaries of the hollow. To the north and east, the ridge borders the Natura 2000 area Bergwiesen around Schönheide and Stützengrün , which in the east corresponds to the Moore nature reserve south of Schönheide .

Surname

In sheet 195 of the Berlin copy of the map by Friedrich Ludwig Aster from 1791, the mountain is referred to as "Hammer Kockel". In view of the fact that it is about the same height as the two wedge mountains, a name is understandable. This also speaks for the designation of a mountain (and not a stream or a path) in this map with "Hammer Kockel": While the name line follows the course of the stream or path for paths and streams, the font for mountain names runs parallel to the upper one and the bottom of the map. In addition, the names of mountains are written in larger letters than those of the streams and paths. A path called "Hoheriesen Steig" is marked east of the mountain. The names of mountains, streams and paths have been added to the sheets of the Aster map series following sheet 196 in the manner described.

This mountain is also referred to in the Oberreitschen Topographical Atlas of the Kingdom of Saxony from 1843, namely with "Hamer Kockel".

"Kogel" is understood in dictionaries as the top of a mountain, as in Johann Christoph Adelung's dictionary. Johann Georg Krünitz sees the term Kogel as an Upper German word that describes the summit of a mountain. In the Palatinate dictionary, a connection is made between the word meaning Kogel for a cap as headgear and the designation of a mountain as "Kogelsberg". Krünitz also points out the connection between headgear and the term Kogel and is reminiscent of the caps used by miners. The "Hammer Kockel" has the appearance of a cap when it is not forested, which is easy to imagine from the hatching in Aster's map from 1791. This makes the designation “hammer cap” or “hammer kogel” understandable. The entry “Hammer Kockel” can also be found in sheet 184 of the Freiberg copy of the Sächsische Meilenblätter and can only be interpreted as the name of a mountain, and the name “Hoheriesensteig” is also used as a path name. Sheet 236 of the Dresden copy of the Sächsische Meilenblätter from 1792, although not easily decipherable until the second half of the 19th century due to the additions, contains the name of the mountain "Hamer Kockel" (in this spelling) and the path that is difficult to read "Hohriesensteig". Also in sheet 19-Schwarzenberg- of the Topographical Atlas of the Kingdom of Saxony by Jakob Andreas Hermann Oberreit , published in 1843, the mountain is entered under the name "Hamer Kockel".

Name story

The comparison of maps from the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century with those of the Aster Miles Leaves shows some name changes: The Keilbach near Aster was still called “Schlingen Seyfen”, which indicates the extraction of tin ore using soaps . For the "Hochmoorbächel" there was the name "Geyer Seufen" (in this spelling). This should also be understood as "Geyer soaps". Sheet 196 of the Aster map series names the upper course "Geyer Seiffen Bach".

The “Hoheriesen Steig” path is no longer given this name in the maps of the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century: the name “Hammergockel” is consistently used for this forest road, as is the case on the topographic map at a scale of 1: 10,000 from 1996 and 2012, but also in hiking maps, so consistent in sheet 15 of the hiking map of Saxony from 1996 and 2010.

The 686.6  m above sea level. NHN high mountain between Upper and Lower Keilberg, which used to be called "Hammer Kockel", or "Hammerkogel" as it is used today, lost its name, while the name of the path known today as Hammorrgoogl in the Ore Mountains was formerly "Hoheriesen-Steig". So far, no evidence has been found, for example in forest maps, which is why the name for the mountain has changed to one for the Hammorrgoogl path and the mountain either lost its name, at least in the maps, or gave it up to the path that passed it.

It can be assumed that the local population colloquially referred to walking to the Zwickauer Mulde past the Hammerkogel mountain as "past dorr Hammorrgoogl" (past the Hammergoogl) and that over the years the term " dorr Hammorrgoogl noh “(the Hammergoogl down). The name of the path may have developed from this, although the map makers from the Erzgebirge dialect transformed it into “Hammergockel”. This term is alien to the locals.
