The history of today's Stollberg district of Hoheneck begins with the "Stal (e) burch" mentioned in 1267, which gave the town of Stollberg its name and is known today as Hoheneck Castle . The castle was the center of the newly settled Stollberg rule, which came to the Albertine line of the Wettins in 1564 as the Stollberg electoral office .
Today's district of Hoheneck emerged from the former Vorwerk of the Staleburg. With the takeover of the castle built on the foundations of the Staleburg in the 16th century by the Wettins, the Vorwerk became an Electoral Saxon chamber property in 1564 . The electoral meadows around the Castle had the inhabitants of the town of Stollberg and the surrounding villages in forced labor farm. Due to financial difficulties, the Saxon elector Augustus the Strong had to sell a number of his chamber goods, which is why he parted with the estate in Stollberg. It was acquired by the Dresden Accis Council Gottlob Friedrich Nestler. Since Nestler needed servants to run his estate, he divided 40 acres of his property into plots in 1706. Stocking weavers and linen weavers settled there and had to work on the estate six days a year. This is how today's place Hoheneck came into being. Nestler, who was also the bailiff of the Stollberg Electoral Saxon Office , went bankrupt in 1728, as a result of which the Saxon state bought back the chamber property.
In the 17th century the castle was used as a remand prison. For this purpose, a new keep (today's clock tower) was built in the Hohe Eck , from which the new name of the castle and the Hoheneck settlement that developed around it was derived. This first appeared in 1704 as an official name on a loan. From 1706 it was also introduced as the name for the castle and the estate. The Saxon rural community order of 1838 made Hoheneck an independent municipality. The area of the state penal institution in Hoheneck, which was founded in 1862 as the Royal Saxon Women's Breeding Institute , had an administration that was independent of the municipality. In 1845 the estate was divided up and given to private individuals.
Until 1856, Hoheneck belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Stollberg . In 1856 Hoheneck came to the Stollberg court office and in 1875 initially to the administrative authority of Chemnitz . On July 1, 1910, from the south-western part of the Chemnitz Office, the Stollberg Office was formed, to which Hoheneck now also belonged.
In 1923 Hoheneck was incorporated into Stollberg. During the first district reform in the GDR in 1950, the Amtshauptmannschaft Stollberg , which had been renamed the Stollberg district in 1939, was dissolved. Hoheneck and the city of Stollberg came to the Chemnitz district. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR, the city of Stollberg with the district of Hoheneck became the district town of the newly formed Stollberg district in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Stollberg from 1990 onwards . When it was dissolved in 2008, Hoheneck came to the Erzgebirgskreis as a district of Stollberg.
The prison at Schloss Hoheneck was used during the GDR as a prison for women who were imprisoned for political reasons. From 1990 Hoheneck was continued as the only women's prison in the Free State of Saxony. After the prison was closed at the end of April 2001, it was bought by a private investor, whose plans to use it failed due to economic difficulties and resistance from the victims' associations . The large district town of Stollberg bought the complex back in 2014 and set up a memorial there in 2015. In 2017, the interactive learning and adventure world "Phenomenia" moved into Hoheneck Castle, which gradually transforms the former penal institution into a cultural center. After the reconstruction of the castle, the theater education center of the Erzgebirge district "Burattino" will also have its seat at Hoheneck Castle.
