history

The first written mention of the place dates from the year 1431, at that time it was owned by the Lords of Schönburg auf Birsenstein . In a certificate of division from October 26, 1431 between the cousins ​​Alesch and Wilhelm von Schönburg, a Heinz Kauphung with the "fiefdom in Kessel" is mentioned. With a contract dated June 9, 1449, Wilhelm von Schönburg sold his possessions, to which the town also belongs, to Wilhelm Ileburg . He sold it on February 10, 1453 to the brothers Apel, Busso and Bernhard von Vitzthum. In this deed of purchase the place is called "Köstelwald". After the founding of Kupferberg , Köstelwald belonged to its landlords.

School lessons for the local children were held in Preßnitz and Kupferberg until a trivial school was established in the village in 1790. Construction of a new school began on September 4, 1876 and was ceremoniously consecrated on July 12, 1882.

With the construction of the Komotau – Weipert railway line , Kupferberg received a station that was built directly on the southern boundary of Köstelwald.

In 1879, Köstelwald and Wenkau were separated from Kupferberg and became an independent municipality. In the first half of the 20th century, the inhabitants were engaged in agriculture, musical instrument production, lace making and forest work.

After the Second World War, the almost exclusively German-Bohemian population was expelled , the place was almost deserted. Most of the now abandoned houses were demolished in the period that followed.

1979 Kotlina was incorporated with Venkov to Měděnec, in 2011 the place consisted of 5 properties and a chapel.

Chapel of St. Anna
Chapel in Kotlina (2012)

A chapel was to be built as early as 1914, for which a plot of land and building materials were procured. The construction costs were also covered by donations. The First World War prevented construction, however, and the money went to the Austrian state as a war loan, of which nothing remained after the war. In 1933 a chapel could finally be built and it was consecrated to Saint Anne. As a result of the expulsion of the German-Bohemian population, the building was no longer maintained and increasingly fell into disrepair. - In the end, the building had neither doors nor windows, and a leaky roof from which rainwater dampened the building and caused damage to the walls and ceiling. In winter, snow was deposited in the interior for months.

In 2010 the Měděnec municipal administration financed a new roof and a ceiling in the interior. In the following year, lightning protection was installed and new windows and a door were installed. In 2013 the tower also received new windows. In 2014, residents from the Czech Republic and Germany began renovating the interior on a private initiative and with private money. Electric cables were laid and new wall plaster applied inside. The old, rotten gallery was removed and new beams were used as supporting structure. A new stone floor was installed. New pews were set up from Saxony. A harmonium was also procured. After completion of the renovation in the interior with the installation of the stairs and the railing on the gallery, the outer walls were drained on behalf of the municipal administration. On August 20, 2014, the first marriage since 1945 took place. Also on behalf of the municipal administration, new exterior plaster was applied and painted yellow. On September 6, 2014 the chapel was inaugurated.

In 2014 the Crottendorf Erzgebirgszweigverein procured a new 70 kilogram bronze bell from the bell foundry of the Maria Laach Abbey in the Eifel. This was consecrated on November 2nd of that year in the Trinity Church in Crottendorf. On April 28, 2015, the bell was hung in the chapel and solemnly rung on May 10 of that year.
