About this picture

The district of Aue-Schwarzenberg ( Westerzgebirgskreis until 1995 ) was a district in the southwest of the Free State of Saxony . Since 2008 it has formed the western part of the newly created Erzgebirgskreis .

geography

The district of Aue-Schwarzenberg was in the west of the Saxon Ore Mountains. Its highest point was the 1019 m high Auersberg between Eibenstock and Johanngeorgenstadt. The largest river was the Zwickauer Mulde , which flowed through the district from south to north, passing through the town of Aue. The neighboring districts were in the north the district of Zwickauer Land and the district of Stollberg , in the east the district Annaberg , in the south the Czech administrative district Karlsbad ( Karlovarský kraj ) and in the west the Vogtlandkreis .

economy

The district called itself the “cradle of metal forming” and was represented by a number of medium-sized companies in the metalworking industry. The region has been involved in tourism since the first half of the 20th century and attracted numerous visitors, especially in the winter months.

history

A large part of the municipalities in the district owed its existence to the gradual settlement of the Ore Mountains, which began in the second half of the 12th century. The cities of Schneeberg and Johanngeorgenstadt, on the other hand, are much younger. One emerged, like some of its neighboring communities, as a result of the emergence of mining, the other as a settlement of exiles from neighboring Bohemia.

After the Second World War in 1945, some cities and towns were not occupied by either the Soviet or American occupation forces for a few weeks (see “ Free Republic of Schwarzenberg ”).

The district was created as a result of the district reform on August 1, 1994 by merging the districts of Aue and Schwarzenberg . It was initially called the Westerzgebirgskreis and was renamed the Aue-Schwarzenberg district on January 1, 1995.

In the course of another administrative reform in Saxony, the districts of Annaberg , Aue-Schwarzenberg, Middle Erzgebirgskreis and Stollberg merged on August 1st, 2008 to form the Erzgebirgskreis .
