Coat of arms of Dresden mayor Hans Hase (Privilege Book of the City of Dresden, 1584)

Hans Hase had Dresden citizenship from 1550 and was accepted as a member of the city council in 1559. From 1576 he was one of the three Dresden mayors and until 1588 he headed the city's administration in the usual three-year cycle as the governing mayor. In addition, from May 4, 1576, until his death, he was the hospital master of the Maternihospital . He died in Dresden in 1591 and was buried on November 2nd in the Frauenkirchhof .

In addition to his political activities, Hase was active as an entrepreneur and owned the iron hammer in Dorfchemnitz in the Ore Mountains. In 1567 he received the concession from Elector August to build and operate the hammer mill and an associated iron ore mine. At the same time he was issued an exemption letter exempting him from all tax payments. In an associated smelter in Clausnitz , mainly magnetite mined nearby was smelted. With the extracted pig iron, the hammer mill mainly produced various tools and implements for the numerous mines in the area.

In 1584, Hase bought a piece of forest in Bohemia directly behind the Saxon border to use wood in order to produce the charcoal needed for his hammer mill . For transport, he had the existing Mönchsteg removed and a bridge built over the border river Flöha . This illegal border crossing led to a dispute with Caspar von Schönberg, the owner of the Purschenstein estate . Schönberg feared a decline in the customs revenue due to him on the Freiberg - Brüx road due to the unapproved byway. Only a settlement reached through the mediation of Elector August allowed Hans Hase to continue using the path. However, it was only allowed to be used by his own truckers and had to be maintained by himself at his own expense. Hase also undertook to pay Caspar von Schönberg 12 guilders a year. The Hasenbrücke , located near Georgendorf , is a reminder of these relationships to this day. Today the Eisenhammer Dorfchemnitz is used as a technical monument.
