location

Kühberg is separated from the settlement area of ​​Bärenstein in the northeast of the municipality. The settlement is located in the Middle Ore Mountains . It extends from the northwest to the southeast on a steep slope northeast of the Bärenstein from a hill on which the federal road 95 runs, to the valley of the Pöhlbach . South of Kühberg, this also forms the state border with the Czech Republic . Kühberg is crossed in the middle area by the Vejprty – Annaberg-Buchholz railway und Bf , where the place once had a stop at an altitude of 705  m above sea level. NHN owned. The section leading through the town is currently without regular rail traffic.

The area below the railway line or the former raft ditch up to the Pöhlbach bears the field names “Im Grund” or “Kühberger Grund”. The lower section of the Pöhlbachtal was called "Ziegenthal" until the 19th century.

history

14th and 15th centuries

The pass road in Kühberg
Kühberg, view from the lower to the upper district

The Kühberg area was probably populated as early as the 14th century. In the wooded area to the left of the Pöhlbach between Königswalde and Kühberg there is said to have been a silver mine called "Berghäusel", which was destroyed between 1426 and 1429 during the Hussite Wars . At the same time as the mine, the associated settlement “Berghäusel” on Preßnitzer Strasse (called Salzstrasse or Passstrasse in the 19th century) was destroyed. The name Berghäusel was subsequently transferred to the forest area in which the mine and the settlement were located. Together with the Bohemian town of Preßnitz , the trade route leading through the location to the Preßnitzer Pass (Preßnitzer Strasse) was first mentioned in a document in 1335. This originally led from Halle (Saale) via Altenburg , Zwickau , Hartenstein , Grünhain and Zwönitz to Schlettau , where the upper Zschopau was crossed. The path then led via Sehma and Kühberg into the valley of the Pöhlbach, where it was passed over the “Bohemian Bridge” at the height of the Blechhammer. Since the Bohemian rule of Schlettau fell to the Grünhain monastery in 1413 , the Saxon-Bohemian border ran here. The Blechhammer beyond the creek belonged to the district Weiperter reason . From there, the Preßnitzer Pass continued via Weipert (today: Vejprty), Pleil (today: Černý Potok ) and Preßnitz (today in the reservoir area of ​​the Preßnitz dam ) to Reischdorf (today: Rusová ), in whose locality it is in the direction of Kaaden ( today: Kadaň ) and Kralupp (today: Kralupy u Chomutova ) branched out.

To protect this important trade route to Bohemia, there was a fortified spur castle on the castle stone south of Kühberg . It was near what is now the railway tunnel. The rock spur on the Schlossstein offered a good overview of the entire course of the former pass road from Kühberger Berg over the ford in the valley of the Pöhlbach at the later Blechhammer and over the entire opposite slope up to the forester's lodge at the "Berghof". However, the system on the castle stone was given up again in the 14th century. The area around the castle stone was also a critical angle. West of the Pöhlbach downstream was the Saxon rule of Wolkenstein with the council of Königswalde. Since the division of Leipzig in 1485, this belonged to the Albertine Duchy of Saxony. Upstream was the Bohemian dominion of Pressnitz with Weipert. The area east of the Pöhlbach with the Schlossstein, Bärenstein, Kühberg and the official side of Königswalde belonged to the Schlettau rule, which was Bohemian until 1413 and was then subordinate to the Grünhain monastery. This area belonged to the Ernestine Electorate of Saxony since 1485 .

Originally, the area around Kühberg and the works on the north side of the Bärenstein belonged to the official side of Königswalde. The town of Bärenstein, first mentioned in a document in 1525, and the surrounding area were acquired by the Saxon mining officer Hans Röhling in 1527 from the Grünhain monastery as inheritance . Under the Elector Moritz von Sachsen (reigned 1547–1553), the Röhlingsche Vorwerk was raised from hereditary property to man-made property . At the same time it was given lower jurisdiction . The other settlers on the Bärenstein were subject to him, paying interest and debts, and were no longer part of the Königswalde official site. In terms of church, the area around the Bärenstein was initially parish in the Catholic Church in Schlettau . After the construction of the Sankt-Trinitatis-Kirche in Königswalde-Ratsseite, Bärenstein and Kühberg belonged to Königswalde in 1523. In 1529 the Reformation was introduced in the area of ​​the Grünhain monastery, which was Ernestine . The Albertine territory east of the Pöhlbach remained Catholic until 1539. The Kühbergers on the Ernestine, Protestant side of the Pöhlbach went to worship on the Albertine, Catholic side of Königswalde. The Albertine Duke George of Saxony closed the Königswalder Church in 1530 because he forbade the new teaching on his territory. The church did not reopen until after his death in 1539. The inhabitants of the lower district of Kühberg later went to Königswalde, those of the upper district to Cranzahl to worship. Only since the consecration of the Bärensteiner Erlöserkirche in 1655 was Kühberg parish after Bärenstein.

The dissolution of the Grünhain monastery in 1536 went hand in hand with the Reformation. Politically, Bärenstein and Kühberg were assigned to the newly established Schlettau Office, which was merged with the Grünhain Office a short time later . After the place with the office Schlettau in the course of the Wittenberg surrender in 1547 came to the Albertine electorate of Saxony, Bärenstein with the settlement Kühberg belonging to it became a council village of Annaberg in 1548 . The land bridge, which was later known as the “Bohemian Bridge” or “Border Bridge”, was built in 1557 over the Pöhlbach at the lower end of the town of Kühberg. It existed until 1945. At that time, mining flourished on both sides of the Pöhlbach, which caused numerous miners to settle. Pits on Raumberg near Kühberg carried u. a. the names "Blue Mouse" and "Berghäusel Bärenstein".

The Annaberg raft ditch was built between 1564 and 1566 to bring in large quantities of firewood, pit, smelter and construction wood, as well as additional surcharge, industrial and drinking water for the mountain town of Annaberg . The eleven-kilometer-long ditch began at the Bärenstein corridor boundary with the Stahlberg settlement that was not built until the 17th century . Then it ran to the location of today's Bärenstein station along today's railway line via the former Kühberg stop in the center and on towards Königswalde upper station. The trench was in operation until the rafting operations were abandoned in 1844.

Due to the lower pass height compared to the neighboring Erzgebirge passes, the Preßnitzer Pass, on which Kühberg was located, was used frequently during the Thirty Years' War . In the 17th century, the road between Bärenstein and Hammerunterwiesenthal did not yet exist. Oberwiesenthal was reached via the Sehma valley. The "Joachimsthaler Straße", which today roughly corresponds to the course of the federal highway 95 between Annaberg and Bärenstein, led on to Weipert over the Bohemian border and from there to Sankt Joachimsthal . In 1654 the electoral Saxon escort and customs house called "Berghäusel" was built on the west side of Joachimsthaler Straße (today: Annaberger Straße). It was at the intersection of Joachimsthaler Strasse (from Annaberg to Bärenstein / Weipert) and Preßnitzer Strasse (pass or salt road from Schlettau to Weipert / Preßnitz). In 1669 the building was so dilapidated that the customs and escort house moved into the inn opposite, which belonged to the Annaberg City Council. In the vicinity of the customs house was the "Mareckswiese", on which a garden house with hospitality justice was built after 1682, which was the forerunner of the later "Gasthaus Königslust". This building, also known as “Gasthof Bärenstein”, was located southeast of the “Vorwerk Königslust” belonging to Sehma at the northern end of Kühberg. The customs house was not part of the Bärenstein mansion. It was therefore not subject to the council of the city of Annaberg, but belonged as a fiscal building to the Schwarzenberg district office from 1654 until after 1800 . The house has been used for private purposes since it was auctioned in 1849. The name "Berghäusel" was forgotten in the 19th century.

19th century to the present

Location of the abandoned Kühberg stop (2017)

Between 1827 and 1830 the road from Bärenstein was built via the upper part of Kühberg to Annaberg. Bärenstein and the Kühberg settlement belonging to the village belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Grünhain ( Unteramt Schlettau ) until 1856 . From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Annaberg and from 1875 to the official authority Annaberg . For the construction of the railway line from Annaberg to Weipert , the Annaberg raft ditch, which had not been used since 1844, was filled in and tracks were laid on it. Kühberg only got its own stopping point in the town center on December 15, 1896 on the line that was opened in 1872.

In 1884 a volunteer fire brigade was founded in Kühberg, which was dissolved again by a municipal resolution in 1894. From 1895, there was one of three fire engines of the Bärenstein fire brigade in Kühberg. In addition, the Kühberg volunteer fire brigade was re-established in 1911. After the Bärenstein compulsory fire brigade was dissolved in 1925, the volunteer fire brigades from Mittelbärenstein, Kühberg and Stahlberg merged to form the Bärenstein volunteer fire brigade in 1936. Kühberg received a new syringe house a year earlier. In the years 1901/02 the road from Königswalde to Kühberg was built in the valley of the Pöhlbach.

With the incorporation of the Sudetenland into the German Reich in October 1938, the state border to Weipert ceased to exist. As a result of the Second World War , the pedestrian crossing over the “Bohemian Bridge” between Kühberg and the Blechhammer in the Grund district belonging to Weipert (renamed Vejprty after 1945) was closed. After 1945 the district of Grund was demolished along with the ruins of the tin hammer that burned down in 1945/46 on the Czech side.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Kühberg came as part of the Bärenstein community in 1952 to the Annaberg district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Annaberg from 1990 and was added to the Erzgebirgskreis in 2008. After the political change , the road and rail border crossing from Bärenstein to the neighboring Czech Vejprty was reopened. The border crossing in the lower district of Kühberg remained closed. At the present time there is only a cross-border footpath over the Pöhlbach to " Anton-Günther -Ruh" in the disappeared settlement of Grund . The Kühberg stop on the Vejprty – Annaberg-Buchholz railway line was closed on September 27, 1998 due to the low traffic. The section leading through the town has only been used as a temporary tourist offer in the summer months since May 1, 2016. On December 1, 2008, Kühberg's status as part of the community was revoked.

traffic

In the north-west of the place the federal highway 95 runs . Kühberg is crossed in the central area by the Vejprty – Annaberg-Buchholz railway line . The Kühberg stop was opened on December 15, 1896. He was in the center of the settlement. Due to the low frequency of traffic, the stop was closed on September 27, 1998. As part of the renewal of the route in 2000, the platform that was still in existence was completely demolished. With the timetable change on December 14, 2014, the scheduled travel between the stations Vejprty and Cranzahl , in the section of which also Kühberg is passed, was completely stopped. In April 2017, traffic was resumed on the weekends until September. Since May 1, 2018, two pairs of trains have been running from Chomutov to Cranzahl and back again on weekends. The railcars of the Czech State Railways are used.
