history
The Burgraves of Meissen from the Meinheringer family commissioned land distributors to reclaim the Ore Mountain Forest, which had been completely untouched by then. So around 1240 a castle-like weir system was built on today's Singersteinen. The so-called Hermannsburg served as a safeguard for the old salt trade route "Steig Altenburg - Glauchau - statutes / Preßnitz (Bohemia)". Remains of a dry stone wall can still be seen on the Singerstein today. The locator Hermann, probably a brother of Burgrave Meinher II. Von Meißen, at the same time created a small settlement in the valley below the weir system, which was named Hermannsdorf. 20 married couples came with Hermann, who were given a hoof (each approx. 256 m wide) by lot. So Hermannsdorf was laid out as a double-row forest hoof village. The first documentary mention can only be proven for 1495.
In 1308 Hermannsdorf came to the Grünhain Monastery , which ecclesiastically and territorially represented a unit for many villages in the Upper Ore Mountains. The Cistercian monks built a small chapel in the same year, which was dedicated to the Archangel Michael . This was destroyed in 1429 during the Hussite War.
During the second half of the Thirty Years' War , Swedish troops marched through the town several times. Cattle and food were looted, windows smashed, village and pasture fences stolen as fuel for the watch fires of the soldiers who settled with their artillery on the parish field.
Hermannsdorf is a parish village. The Michaeliskirche, originally from the 17th century, still includes the residents of the neighboring village of Dörfel . During a “profound reconstruction in classicist forms” in 1842 under the direction of August Heinrich Viehweger, a new two-manual slider chest organ was installed in 1843 by the Schönheid organ builder Karl Heinrich Poller . From 2002 to 2006 there was a sister church relationship with Tannenberg, since 2007 there has been a sister church relationship with Elterlein and Schwarzbach .
As in the surrounding settlements, mining also contributed to the development of the place in Hermannsdorf. The most important colliery in the 16th century was the butter flatbread, in which up to 50 miners were employed. In addition to cobalt silver ore formations, tin ores were also mined around the doctor's bones, then probably called "ore bones". In the Seifengrund below the ore bone, the still recognizable Raithalden testify to the work of the Seifner .
The school system of Hermannsdorf can be traced back to the year 1530. The boys 'school was inaugurated in 1611 and a girls' school in 1838. From September 1, 1948, Hermannsdorf and Dörfel were trained together, which resulted in the renovation of the boys' school with an extension in 1965. In 1972, after tough struggles with the municipal administration and the district education office, the new building for the “ Thomas Müntzer ” polytechnic was inaugurated. A 10-stage lesson was now possible until the school closed in 1997.
Since July 1, 1880, in addition to the compulsory fire brigade that was still in existence at the time, a voluntary fire brigade has existed in Hermannsdorf, which today can fall back on the most modern technology and enriches the cultural life in the village with many events each year.
On January 1, 1999, Hermannsdorf was incorporated into Elterlein.

traffic

Hermannsdorf is connected to Elterlein to the west by a municipal road, and state road 267 Tannenberg - Crottendorf runs to the east .
With the Zwönitz – Scheibenberg railway line , Hermannsdorf also had a rail connection from 1900. However, the Hermannsdorf stop was a few kilometers west of the village in the direction of Elterlein. After the partial dismantling of the line in 1947 as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union, rail traffic was finally stopped in 1966 and the remaining line between Elterlein and Scheibenberg was also dismantled.
Attractions
The townscape is still very much shaped by the rural character, so that Hermannsdorf has many half-timbered houses in which still smaller craft and agricultural businesses are incorporated.
Michaelis Church, which was rebuilt in the classicist style in 1842, is another gem. The bells of this church are rung by hand by a ring fraternity. The rectory, dated 1737, "a beautiful two-storey building", is half-timbered on the upper storey and borders the church. The boys' school from 1610 is in front of it.
The nature reserves Hermannsdorfer Wiesen , Lohenbachtal and moor at the Rote Pfütze , which can be reached very easily on the many hiking trails around Hermannsdorf, are located in the large municipal area .
Since 2006 there has been an outdoor pyramid depicting scenes from the Ore Mountains during Advent and Christmas .
