history

The mill office in Annaberg passed as the rule of Pöhlberg in 1411 by pledging from the Burgrave of Meißen to the Wettins . Since the division of Leipzig in 1485 it belonged to the Albertine line of the Wettins. After the "Neustadt am Schreckenberg" was founded in 1496 ( called Annaberg from 1501 ), the Pöhlberg rule was dissolved in 1499. The seat of the new office became the eponymous Herrenmühle on the Sehma . In 1553 the office was leased to the mountain town of Annaberg. In 1794 the mill office Annaberg was dissolved and integrated into the office of Wolkenstein . Some of the tasks were carried out on site until 1830.
