origin
Remnants of the old tavern are named as Schänkhübel in old forest records in 1730 . Outside the electoral hunting lodge, which was built between 1554 and 1558, a tavern with stables for 82 horses was built in 1557. It is drawn in the oldest representation of the Grillenburg hunting lodge around 1580 and was already lost at the end of the 17th century.
history
In 1704 the building permit was issued for an official mill east of the location of the old tavern, which was leased, whereby the tenants increasingly let the mill building, which was increased in 1713, fall into disrepair. After long negotiations, the hereditary sale for 500 guilders to Georg Naumann from Colmnitz took place in 1736 . Associated with the permission of the Waldhutung (wood pasture) for six cows that approval, the cutting gear (were sawmill ) through an oil passage ( oil mill to replace), the right of Ausspannung (change of horses), the free Schank-, milling and baking Justice and the right to freely collect wood in the forest.
Since the official mill was no longer subject to the electoral office, the now private mill property was marked with boundary stones. These boundary stones carried the year 1736 towards the mill and the Kurschwerter to the outside, similar to the forest boundary stones that were set around the Tharandt forest in 1735–40 . One of these sandstone rainstones from the mill property was exhibited in the exhibition on the history of the hunting lodge in the Grillenburg hunting lodge and was stolen after it was removed from storage .
As early as 1737 Georg Naumann sold the inherited HochHerrschaftliche Mühle to his son-in-law, the farrier Christian Kernd (t) from Pretzschendorf . In 1737 he got the concession to build a forge on the mill property. A later owner, the hereditary miller Johann Gottlob Ficke (senior), also managed to obtain the concession for lodging, slaughtering and selling meat in 1780. In this year the place Grillenburg was created.
In 1783, the Erbmüller had the old residential, bakery and inn building ( Wiesenhaus ) , which has been preserved until today, renovated or rebuilt and the old smithy demolished in 1784 without giving up the blacksmith's license. The mill was later taken over by his son Johann Gottlob Ficke (junior). In 1818 Christian Friedrich Heinsch was the owner of the official mill .
The buildings of the Princely House and the Fronfeste in the hunting lodge area were demolished in 1828 and the material was used by the mill and tavern owner Traugott Lindner in 1829 to rebuild today's inn. The fireplace from the elector's room in the entrance area, the window frames and the old door frames in the cellar of the inn made of Grillenburg sandstone are a reminder of this to this day.
In the meantime, the Dresden - Freiberger -Chaussee, laid out in 1826, led through Grillenburg (today Ferienstrasse Silberstraße ) and replaced the old Fürsten- or Herrenweg , which led via Fördergersdorf and Spechtshausen , until then the main connection from Dresden to Grillenburg. In addition to the forge, which was newly built in 1785/1869, the building for the road money collection (1826–76) and later the Grillenburg district forester, which is still in existence today , also served as the first collecting school in town from 1827–37 .
1855-65 and 1869-77 that served Wiesenhaus (the old inn) and others of collecting school Grillenburg as a classroom. Around 1900 the mill is said to have burned down due to a short circuit in the direct current generator. Their location was between the still-preserved Wiesenhaus or the farm building opposite, behind the Grillenburg inn and Grunder Weg (today: the location of the new single-family house) on today's Triebisch . The owner at the time was Paul Glanzberg.
Current condition
The last maintenance measures on the Wiesenhaus , where the historic bakery is still located today, were carried out by innkeeper Heinz Stephan in 1969. As a holiday home operator, the Chemnitz public transport company let the still inhabited meadow house fall into disrepair. After the expansion of the inn to the Waldhotel Zur Grille by the Dietmar Kumpfe family, the old farm building (remise) behind the inn was repaired and used for event catering events, while the farm building in front of the inn in front of the inn for a new row house disappeared in 1996 .
Today the ensemble with meadow house , farm building and inn exists as Gasthaus & Pension Waldhof zu Grillenburg and has been run by the Philipp family since July 2007. It even serves as a relaxation area for the historic Grillenburg stagecoach . Since September 2004, with day trips in the region, it has impressively reminded its passengers that the Dresden- Nuremberg postal route in 1829 / 33-62 led with stagecoaches and riders on the Dresden-Freiberger Chaussee through the Tharandt Forest.
