geography

The center of the local mountain community was today's street "Am Hausberg". The Hausbergsiedlung is located immediately southeast of the old town of Pirna on the steep slope below Sonnenstein Castle . Down to the neighboring, old Pirna Obertorvorstadt to the west , the ladder staircase and the official staircase, which are no longer accessible today, lead. Above the street “Am Hausberg”, the federal highway 172 rises from the Elbe valley to the plateau in the east of Pirna.

history

The name Hausberg refers to the rock plateau just outside the gates of Pirna, on which Sonnenstein Castle stands. Already in 1415 was called "a Gartin uff Hawsberge before Slosse gelegin" as Albrecht von Colditz one Vorwerk to the Pirnaer citizens Herm. Seiler sold. The name “Hawsborn” is documented from 1423, and in 1452 “ecker uff dem Hussberge” was located. The group of houses in the soft image of the city of Pirna was built along the steeply rising road up to the Sonnenstein and further towards Königstein (Saxon Switzerland) .

Former chapel of the local mountain community, Am Hausberg 1

In 1609 there were 20 possessed men and eight housemates on the local mountain . When the place was an official village of the Pirna Office in 1764 , 25 cottagers lived there . In 1791, the spelling "Haußberg" was in use for the municipality at that time. The local mountain spot had exactly 227 inhabitants in 1834. 14 of them were of the Catholic faith. In the old chapel on Hausberg, the first service of the new Catholic parish of Pirna, founded in 1823, took place. On July 11, 1823, the building, which the Catholic community had previously acquired and converted into a chapel and school, was solemnly consecrated by Bishop Mauermann in the presence of Prince Maximilian of Saxony . The community and school remained on Hausberg until they moved to Albertstrasse (today Dr. Wilhelm-Külz-Strasse) in 1868/69.

In 1850 the suburb was incorporated on Hausberg. This brought Pirna a barely noticeable increase in population of 237 people. By 1875 that number grew to 295. The reason for this relatively small increase was the limited space on the mountainside and the lack of expansion options.

In 1856 the ladder staircase - which until then was only a connection between today's streets Am Hausberg and Bergstraße - was extended uphill. Today's Schandauer Strasse did not exist at that time. Until today's Schandauer Straße was rebuilt in 1902, the steep and therefore dangerous Hausbergstraße remained the only connection from Pirna to the Sonnenstein.

Todays situation

Residential building with the station clock, Am Hausberg 6
Half-timbered house, Am Hausberg 9

The old chapel (building Am Hausberg 1) serves today - like all other houses on the Hausberg - as a residential building. The local mountain is now a dead end due to the erection of bollards at the top of the street. However, it is still passable for two-wheeled vehicles . The staircase was extensively renovated from September 2010 to April 2011 for 270,000 euros. Since 1956, the office stairs have been partially closed to public traffic due to structural defects. Today it can no longer be climbed from the local mountain and in the lower part it serves as access to the Bergstrasse for residents. On April 26, 2012, the terrace gardens on the Pirnaer Schlossberghang were opened and opened to the public. Since then, a path that branches off in the upper part of the Hausberg directly at the castle wall has connected the Hausberg with the terrace gardens. Via the castle stairs, this path also connects the local mountain with the historic old town in the city center of Pirna. In addition to the old chapel, an old half-timbered house (Am Hausberg 9) and a residential building with a former station clock (Am Hausberg 6) are special landmarks of today's Hausberg.
