history

Local history

In 1350, the forest hoof village was first mentioned as a cling village. It seems that next to the name Klingenberg also existed of 1378 as Klynginberg appears while 1489 again Clingendorff is written. Administratively, the village belonged to the castrum Tharandt in 1378 , to the Freiberg care around 1445 , and from 1460 to the care or the Dresden office . Around 1500 there is a branch church of Dorfhain in Klingenberg .

The property with 37 possessed men and 28 residents belongs to the Höckendorf manor in 1552 and to the Potschappel manor around 1606 . From 1696 a manor Klingenberg is mentioned, which was owned by the noble family Reichbrod von Schrenkendorff , who also sat on Potschappel. In 1764 there were 22 possessed men, 38 cottagers and 28 hooves each with 18 bushels . In 1875 Klingenberg became part of the Dresden administration . In 1898 the Protestant parish of Klingenberg became independent.

With the East German district reform in 1952 , the rural community came to the county Freital . Within the Weißeritzkreis , Klingenberg formed the administrative association An der Talsperre Klingenberg from August 1, 1994 with Colmnitz and Dorfhain (existed until December 30, 1998). On January 1, 1999, Klingenberg and the neighboring municipality of Colmnitz became part of the municipality of Pretzschendorf, which merged with the neighboring municipality of Höckendorf to form the new municipality of Klingenberg on December 31, 2012 . The community name was taken over, among other things, because of the central location of the district, but the seat of the community is in Höckendorf.

Today there is still a high school in Klingenberg .

Buildings

Klingenberg-Colmnitz station

The crossing point opened in 2009 on the former station area: in the background the former reception building, on the left the Dresden – Werdau railway line , on the right the areas formerly used by the narrow-gauge railway

In 1862 Klingenberg was connected to the railway line from Dresden to Freiberg , and from 1869 onwards, when the line was continued beyond Freiberg, there was also a connection to Chemnitz and West Saxony. This point forms with 435  m above sea level. NN the end point of the steep section from Tharandt station , which has an extremely unusual gradient of 1:40, sometimes even 1:39, for a main line and is considered one of the steepest standard-gauge railway lines in Europe . In the times of steam locomotive operation up to electrification in the mid-1960s, this incline was only mastered by means of a sliding locomotive , which was still the case afterwards with over-long freight trains. At the Klingenberg-Colmnitz train station, after 11.6 kilometers, the 228 meter high difference in altitude into the Ore Mountains has been overcome.

With the establishment of the narrow-gauge railway Klingenberg-Colmnitz-Frauenstein in 1898, the stop was extended to the Klingenberg-Colmnitz station, after being on the boundary between the two villages of Klingenberg / Sa. and Colmnitz was built. For regional railway junction, the station was as the latest after 1921 narrow-gauge railway Klingenberg-Colmnitz top Dittmannsdorf opened (both until 1971 in operation), the connection to the Wilsdruffer network created.

In this context, the railway settlement Am Sachsenhof or Kolonie Sachsenhof (zu Klingenberg) and Am Bahnhof (zu Colmnitz ) was created, which, next to Neuklingenberg, forms the third settlement area in the district.

In 2009 a new crossing point between bus and train was inaugurated on the station premises.

The station became known in model railroad circles because it serves as a model for models in the TT and H0 gauges .

Klingenberg dam

Klingenberg dam with dam

The dam south of the village in the course of the Wild Weißeritz was built from 1908 to 1914 according to an architectural design by Hans Poelzig and according to the Intze principle . It was initially called the Friedrich August Dam, now the Klingenberg Dam. Together with the Lehnmühle dam and a connection to the Lichtenberg dam , it provides drinking water for Dresden and large parts of the former Weißeritz district , for flood protection , and with the Klingenberg , Dorfhain and Tharandt hydropower plants connected to the Dresden-Coschütz waterworks by an open-air drinking water tunnel , including electricity generation .

The Klingenberg waterworks is located below the dam and, like the dam and the power plant, is part of the ENSO energy adventure trail on the Hans-Poelzig-Rundweg.

Matchstick Bridge

In the years 1910 to 1911, a narrow-gauge industrial railway was built from Klingenberg-Colmnitz station to the dam construction site, which crossed the Lange Grund on a wooden bridge structure. In 1914, operations on the dam railway were stopped. In the course of the construction of a road on the old railway line, the wooden railway bridge was replaced by a reinforced concrete structure. An avenue of maples leads to the matchstick bridge.
