history

View from Burgstein to Krebes

Hermann Vogel House in Krebes

The row village of Krebes was first mentioned in 1390, the neighboring towns of Ruderitz in 1418 and Burgstein in 1479. Located in the west of the Vogtland, the villages were owned by the von Sack family from the Vogtland in the 14th century . There is archival evidence of a noble residence on the Burgstein for at least the 1420s (“… that [Edel-] Lewt was sitting at Burckstein [,] they were called the Pucher”). In 1474 a pilgrimage arose on the castle stone after an apparition of Mary , combined with the construction of a pilgrimage chapel (today western castle stone ruins), which belonged to the parish of the neighboring village of Krebes and thus to the diocese of Bamberg . Not least the location directly on the border of the dioceses of Bamberg and Naumburg led to long-term disputes between the two over the presumably considerable income from pilgrimages, which were contractually settled in 1487. The construction of the second, eastern Burgstein church is to be seen in connection with the elevation to an independent parish in 1489 (it would therefore have been the parish church of the new parish). With the implementation of the Reformation in Vogtland and the associated rejection of the Catholic pilgrimage practice, the decline of the double church began. In 1540, the Saxon Elector Johann Friedrich ordered the demolition of both Burgstein sacred buildings, which were not completely demolished but left to decay. The members of the Burgstein parish were referred to the church in the neighboring village of Geilsdorf . The parish church in Krebes, to which Ruderitz is also parish, was mentioned as early as 1542. It belonged to the so-called dispute parishes in the Vogtland border area. In the 15th century there was mining activity on the nearby Plattenberg.

A settlement on the Plattenberg in the southeastern corridor of Krebes is given in 1791 as Schwarz Reuth , in 1839 as Schwarzenreuth or black Reuthäuser . The stain was one with respect to the basic rule as office Village to 1856 Saxon or Royal Saxon Official Plauen , which also includes the below the fundamental rule of the manor standing Geilsdorf Krebes with the Vorwerk belonged Kandelhof. In 1856 Krebes and the district of Schwarzenreuth became part of the Plauen court office and in 1875 the Plauen administrative authority . Station 158 of the Royal Saxon Triangulation was set up on the Kandelstein east of the Kandelhof farm in September 1876 . In the age of romanticism , the castle stone with its two ruins was rediscovered in the 19th century. An inn built on the Burgstein in 1875/77 increased the attractiveness of the place considerably until the beginning of the 1950s and, especially at the beginning of the 20th century, it was the meeting place for an illustrious group of artists around the Vogtland painter and graphic artist Hermann Vogel (1854 to 1921), his country residence in Krebes today houses the Hermann-Vogel-Haus museum.

Through the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Krebes with Schwarzenreuth came to the Plauen-Land district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). With the establishment of the restricted area on the inner-German border , the Burgstein area , which had previously been popular with tourists, was no longer accessible. The last host family on the Burgstein was evicted in 1952 . According to the historical register of Saxony, this fate also hit the hamlet of Schwarzenreuth. A listening system was set up on the Kandelstein. On May 16, 1968, Ruderitz was incorporated into Krebes with Burgstein. With the fall of the Wall , the Krebes community and the Burgstein area ended their situation in the restricted area. From 1990 it initially belonged to the Saxon district of Plauen.

On January 1, 1994, the Krebes community merged with six other communities to form the Burgstein community, which got its name from the Burgstein mountain. This belonged to the Vogtlandkreis since 1996. With the incorporation of the municipality of Burgstein into the larger municipality of Weischlitz, Krebes with the hamlet of Schwarzenreuth and Ruderitz with the hamlet of Burgstein have formed the Krebes / Ruderitz district of Weischlitz since January 1, 2011.
