The place is located in the Bohemian Ore Mountains immediately below the ridge line and extends between about 860 and 1040 m nm.It is traversed by the Rote Wistritz (Bystřice) brook and is located on a road built in 1903, the Abertamy (about 2.5 km southwest) with Ryžovna ( Seifen , about 3 km north) connects. Hřebečná is a cadastral district and with 420.15 ha is only slightly smaller than Abertamy (449.53 ha).
Local division
1720 appeared the name Hengstererben first time as a merger of parts stallion and Erb (s) on. In the 19th century, however, districts of this scattered settlement were kept apart, of which Hengst (in the center), Grund (in the south) and Erb (in the east) were the most important. Neu-Werlsberg eight houses were called "Erb", which were incorporated into Werlsberg ( Vršek ), a district of Joachimsthal ( Jáchymov ), in 1885 . The area around the Red Pit was also called the Front Stallion (Přední Hřebečná). The single layers of sandy houses (between stallion and heir) and Steinhöhe as well as Neugeschrei and New Year are also mentioned . At least Steinhöhe, a desert , lies today in the area of Ryžovna.
history
The "stallion" in the Sarepta is mentioned for the first time by Johannes Mathesius , who wrote "Stallion started" in the 4th quarter of 1545. Even if this meant the mines on Berg Hengst and in particular the mine Mauritius and the Rote Grube , it is assumed that the miners also settled here at this point at the latest. Due to the significant tin mining in Bohemia, which was only surpassed by that in Schlaggenwald (Horní Slavkov), the settlement grew rapidly. After parts of the former Schwarzenberg district office were ceded to the Bohemian crown in the Prague Treaty of 1546 , King Ferdinand I issued a tin mining ordinance in 1548 , with which he started tin mining in Hengst, Perninger (= Bärringen ), Lichtenstadt , Platten , Gottesgab , Kaff , Mückenberg regulated and gave the place mountain freedom . Even if Hengst never received city privileges , its importance was to be equated with that of a mining town due to its size and significant mining . The further development of the place was always closely linked to mining. As recently as the 1790s there were 14 stamp mills and an arsenic hut. Although the place mostly had 1000 to 1500 inhabitants, it was only briefly independent.
After the Second World War, large parts of the almost exclusively German-speaking population were expelled . For this purpose, residents from Teplice were settled. In the 1950s, numerous houses were demolished, especially since the place was in a restricted area due to uranium mining. In the 1970s, it slowly began to develop again as a holiday and recreation resort. Even today, most of the 100 or so houses are only used as holiday homes. The Krušnohorská magistrála runs in the upper part .
