history

The first written mention of the Buschmühle located on the Rosenbach was in 1627. The mill, which was built close to the Bohemian border, remained the only property in the Upper Lusatian part of the Rosenbach Valley for over a century. A trade route led from Wendisch-Sohland via Metzradts Hof and the Brückmühle from the Spreetal along the Rosenbach to Bohemia. To the west of the mill, three ponds were dammed up in a small side valley. After the Lower or Buschmühl pond was drained, the Long Meadow was created on its pond site.

In the second half of the 18th century, the owner of the Ober- and Mittelohland estates , Christoph August von der Sahla, had construction sites assigned over the Langen Wiese. The new settlement that arose in the corridors of the Mittersohland manor was officially referred to as Äußerstemittelohland . With the subsequent Äußerstniedersohland it was summarized as Äußerstsohland , the vernacular called the two districts as Hintererecke or Am Hubbrch . At the beginning of the 19th century, the begging pond and the middle pond were already dry. In 1832, K. and E. Hauptmann founded a mechanical linen weaving mill across from the customs house; it was the first textile factory in Sohland and successfully sold its products at the Frankfurt trade fair.

From the middle of the 19th century, Äußerstemittelohland was part of the community of Mittelohland and was parish there. In the 1850s, the new road from Sohland to Rosenhain was built between the Hohberg and the Brandbusch, and a road house was built on the border near Äußerstemittelohland. Since the merger of Mittelohland with Wendischsohland, Obersohland and Niedersohland to form the municipality of Sohland an der Spree in 1877, Äußerstemittelohland was a district of the same.

In 1887 the stone grinder Ernst Hantusch acquired the disused Buschmühle and converted it into a stone grinding shop. In 1897 a new customs house was built on the Bohemian border. In the state treaty between Austria-Hungary and Saxony of November 27, 1898 on rail connections on the Austrian-Saxon border, the establishment of the railway connection from Schluckenau to Sohland with a border station in Äußerstemittelohland, which was desired by the Saxon side, was agreed, but without any specifics at the time of construction; Ultimately, it stayed with this declaration of intent, the line was not built.

In 1900 the master tanner August Herberg came across minable copper-containing magnetic and nickel gravel while digging the well. A year later, Herberg and his neighbor, the textile manufacturer Carl Hauptmann, began mining the ores individually, initially; a little later they merged to form Hauptmann, Herberg & Co. oHG, which at that time was the only ore mining company in Upper Lusatia. Nickel ore mining on Hornsberg was expanded across borders to Rosenhain at the beginning of the 20th century and was later taken over by the Joachimsthal trade union. In 1924 the mine was shut down.

In addition to the nickel ore mines, there were two other companies in the small town: the Hauptmann linen and cotton weaving mill and the E. Hantusch & Co. Granite and Syenite Works. In 1938, Äußerstmittelohland was given the new name Hinterm Hohberg and was merged with Am Hohberg (previously Äußerstniedersohland ) to form a district of Hohberg . After the end of the Second World War, the border crossing to Czechoslovakia was closed. In 1972 both E. Hantusch & Co. Granite and Syenite Works and Ernst Hauptmann KG were nationalized. The stone grinding shop was re-privatized in 1990 as E. Hantusch GmbH. The three ponds in the long meadow were dammed up again at the end of the 20th century as the "Rosensee" recreational area. In 2004 the road at the customs house was reopened as a car crossing. On August 7, 2010, after heavy rain, the Rosenbach swelled to a flood of the century and devastated the Hantusch company in particular. On January 1, 2011, Hohberg was deleted as an official part of the municipality of Sohland an der Spree.
