history
Foundation and development
The place was probably created at the end of the 12th century as a Waldhufendorf on the western slope of the Schwarzwassertal and was first mentioned in a document in 1460/62 in the Zwickau Franciscan terminology book as Lawther . Other earlier forms of the name are Lawte (1501) and Lauttera (1509). The place names are derived from the name of the brook the Lauter , which is no longer used today.
In addition to agriculture and rafting , mining - especially tin ore extraction - and basketry were the main sources of income for the population. During the Hussite War , the Peasants 'War and the Thirty Years' War , Lauter was not spared either, destruction and devastation led to the stagnation of the population.
Economic boom
At the beginning of the 18th century laboratory technicians from the Electoral Saxony were sent out on behalf of August the Strong to locate sites of medicinal herbs and roots. From this - as in ancient China - an elixir was to be made that promised a long and healthy life. The herbalists founded a factory in Lauter , in which medicinal and home remedies were produced according to secret recipes. They opened the Lautergold distillery in 1734 and thus contributed to the growing prosperity of the residents.
Since the beginning of industrialization in the 19th century with the simultaneous decline of mining in the region, several machine, metal and wood processing companies as well as an enamelling factory have settled there. In addition, laundry and paper mills were built.
The 20th century
In the two world wars, residents of Lauter were also called up for military service and had to lose their lives, as a corresponding war memorial commemorates.
From 1947 onwards, a tunnel and a deep excavation were excavated in the Weidauer quarry by SAG / SDAG Wismut . Any uranium mica mineralization found was mined and work was discontinued.
Between 1950 and 1952 an ore deposit with shaft 329, 8 tunnels and 4 deep pits was investigated on the north-east slope of the Burkhardtswald, and 2.1 t of uranium were mined.
In 1962, Lauter was granted city rights.
On January 1, 2013, Lauter merged with Bernsbach to form the new town of Lauter-Bernsbach.

coat of arms
The center of the coat of arms is a fir tree that embodies the wealth of forests in the city and its surroundings. Ferns lie around the roots as a symbol of the floodplain on which Lauter once originated. The foliage to the right and left of the conifer tree base characterizes the fruits and medicinal herbs of the forest. A red string of pearls around it symbolized the city's former ore wealth. - It is not known who designed the coat of arms, it is traced back to designs by folk artists. In the course of the implementation of West German coats of arms, the string of pearls disappeared from the official city arms.
economy
Since the late 1990s there have been no major industrial establishments in the city. On the other hand, the enamelling factory, the chip basket manufacture and the liqueur factory have been preserved or established. Craftsmen, small businesses and a number of inns (such as Morgenleithe or Pension Danelchristelgut ) contribute to Lauter's economic strength .
