Henneberg (Johanngeorgenstadt)
Henneberg is a district of Johanngeorgenstadt in the Erzgebirgskreis in the Free State of Saxony .
Geographical location
The Henneberger houses are located at an altitude of over 900 m east of the Kleiner Kranichsee high moor not far from the border with the Czech Republic in the middle of the spruce forest and can only be reached via a forest road over Jugel . Henneberg originally belonged to this municipality, which was independent until 1935. The Buchschachtelberg is located south of the settlement right on the border .
history
In the area around Henneberg there was a rich iron ore train and a hermaphrodite ( tin ), which were already mined in several pits at the beginning of the 16th century. The name goes back to the "Alte Henne" mine, muted in 1508, from which Eistenstein was extracted. Due to the strong pit water , many of the pits often drained. Only the construction of the so-called Henneberger Erbstollen from 1680 provided a remedy here. The new Henneberger Zechenhaus, which is shown in the Sächsisches Meilenblatt from 1791, was the origin of today's settlement. There was also the old Henneberger colliery a little further south-east. To the east of the Kleiner Kranichsee in the direction of the Henneberger Häuser peat was extracted until 1923 and parts of the raised bog were removed as a result.
After the Second World War, a company holiday home of VEB Synthetex Lichtentanne with a public restaurant moved into one of the two Henneberg houses , from which today's excursion restaurant emerged.
