history

The community was formed on December 13, 1855 through the merger of Großpöhla and Kleinpöhla under the common name Pöhla. The place name is of Slavic origin and is derived from the word bjelo , 'bright' or 'white', which is often used in place and field names . The name of the place was given by the stream flowing through it, the Pöhlwasser.

Großpöhla and Kleinpöhla had initially developed independently. The Pöhlwasser not only formed the border between the two communities, but also carried the rulership border between the Schwarzenberg rulership and the Schönburg rulership or, after both were sold to the Electorate of Saxony in 1533/1559, between the offices of Schwarzenberg and Crottendorf, which were later merged .

Großpöhla was first mentioned in a document in 1406 as "the Behl" or "the Böhl" and was laid out as a single row forest hoof village. Towards the end of the 16th century, the four hooves were inhabited by 26 “possessed men”, including eleven “little cottagers”, with their families. At the beginning of the 19th century, Großpöhla already consisted of 75 houses and around 750 inhabitants, who lived from lace-making, spoon making, woodwork, mining and hammering, etc. In the village there was an inheritance court and an escort from Schwarzenberg. There was also a private lime kiln near the village. See also: Siegelhof (hammer mill) .

Presumably in the first half of the 16th century, the later Pfeilhammer was built to the left of the Pöhlwasser . As recently as 1495, there was talk of only “two men in the bele” for the Schwarzenberg share. The population increased so much that in 1551 there were already two landowners, six cottagers and nine residents in Kleinpöhla. It has a block corridor. Over the centuries the arrow hammer remained one of the main employers of the village and contributed to the steady population growth.

Johann Traugott Lindner wrote about Pöhla in his book Walks through the most interesting areas of the Saxon Upper Ore Mountains under the heading Großpöhla:

No less than 1489 people live in the 109 houses, which are densely packed and often jammed together and shingle, including the neighboring Kleinpöhla, of whom the men at the two hammer mills, the so-called Biedermann's and the arrow hammer, mostly get their food thinks, women and children, on the other hand, do lace making.

Today Pöhla is hardly of any economic importance. Above all, tourism and winter sports should give the community a boost.

For a long time the community endeavored to break away from the administrative community with Markersbach and Raschau that had existed since 1995 . This measure was rejected by the mayors and local councils of Markersbach and Raschau. A referendum on November 26, 2006 was initially unsuccessful, although the majority of the residents of Pöhla voted for the desired exit and simultaneous incorporation into the large district town of Schwarzenberg . Repeated inquiries at the Saxon Ministry of the Interior were initially unsuccessful. Between January and July 2007, the Pöhla municipal councils suspended their mandates because, for legal reasons, they saw no possibility of the o. Implement referendum. The mayor of Pöhla approved this procedure, although it was to be seen as a violation of the Saxon municipal code. The activity was resumed on July 19, since important expenses could not be made without a resolution of the municipal council. After the two partners, Markersbach and Raschau, aspiring to the unified community of Raschau-Markersbach, agreed to dissolve the existing administrative community, this was confirmed by the Saxon Ministry of the Interior in its official gazette of December 27, 2007, paving the way for incorporation in Schwarzenberg. The previous honorary mayor Annerose Grund ( FDP ) has been retired; Annelore Liebchen ( Die Linke ) was appointed head of the village . The Schwarzenberg city ​​council was strengthened with three Pöhla city councilors until the local elections in 2009 ; the previous municipal council continued to work as a local council. The preservation of the elementary school in Pöhla was one of the main arguments for incorporation into Schwarzenberg. However, on May 17, 2010, it became known that, according to plans by the Saxon Ministry of Culture, the primary school should be closed after the 2010/11 school year.

With 665 parish members in August 2009, more than half of all residents belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Pöhla.

On December 5, 2016, construction work began on the new Pöhla-Globenstein mine in Pöhla . First of all, an exploration shaft is to be sunk ; the headframe is to follow in spring 2017. Commercial dismantling is planned from 2019. The Pöhla skarn deposit is the largest tin deposit in Europe. 30,000 tons of tin are expected in the 408 hectare mining area, which is spread over three camps. In addition, 18,000 tons of tungsten and 250 tons of indium should be able to be mined in the deposit. After the Precipitation mine , Pöhla would be the second newly built mine in the Ore Mountains after the fall of the Wall.

Was the holy obedience created in Pöhla?

In his book Walks through the Most Interesting Areas of the Saxon Upper Ore Mountains , published in 1848, Johann Traugott Lindner wrote under the heading Großpöhla:

Among the proletarians (there are) a lot of strange customs and superstitious behavior that characterize family life, especially at Christmas time, which one encounters in the following little song, which a Pöhlaerin wrote in her dialect.

This is followed by 14 stanzas of the Holy Ombudsman under the heading Christmas . The author of the song Johanne Amalie von Elterlein does not mention Lindner.
