history
The Werkweiler Mittelschmiedeberg was built in the immediate vicinity of a former hammer mill on Arnsfeld . The first documented form of place name dates from 1677 as a smith's hut in the middle of Schmiedebergk .
In 1662 Christian Meyer, who also owned the hammer in Schlössel , built a hammer mill here. In addition to the Ober- and Niederschmiedeberg hammer works mentioned in 1501, it was the youngest of the three Schmiedeberger hammer works and at the same time the youngest of its kind in the Preßnitz valley. Meyer was given an electoral concession and a piece of forest from which he could obtain the charcoal he needed for the facility . In 1674 the work was granted the privilege of being a Zain hammer, rifle hammer, gun hammer and pipe hammer, at that time it was owned by Councilor Gabriel Voigt. At the end of the 17th century it became the property of the von Berbisdorf family , who also owned the Neunzehnhain , Schmalzgrube , Nieder- and Oberschmiedeberg plants. After Kaspar Siegismund von Berbisdorf jun. went bankrupt in 1739 due to his dissolute lifestyle, the von Elterlein Mittelschmiedeberg family, experienced in mining and metallurgy, took over . From the inheritance of his father Hans Heinrich IV, who died in 1773, Hans August received the works Mittel-, Oberschmiedeberg and Schmalzgrube, at the same time he was the first hammer owner who had his permanent residence here. According to a year in the mansion's basement, it was probably built in 1754. Christian Gottlieb Weisbach (1764–1835), the father of mathematician and engineer Julius Ludwig Weisbach, was a shift supervisor at the plant for many years. Christian Gottfried Sehmisch is named as the blast furnace master and Johann Heinrich Vieweg as the coal knife.
With regard to the facilities of the plant, August Schumann mentions 1819 in the State Lexicon of Saxony:
“The hammer mill consists of 1 tall furnace , 2 stick fires and 1 wire mill, with 1 shift supervisor, 6 workers at the tall furnace, 8 at the stick fires, 18 at the wire mill. Around 100 people live in the village. The livestock is 8 cows. In 1800 the factory delivered 5077 wagons of iron, to Werth for 12,000 thalers. "
The ore to be processed was obtained from pits in the surrounding areas and from the Bohemian "Revier Preßnitz ". There is evidence of mining in Mittelschmiedeberg in the 18th century. In 1713 there was the "Palmbaum" pit and in 1750 the "Lindenbaum" pit. After the death of Hans August von Elterlein, his son Joachim Gustav Ferdinand took over the management of the plant. With great efforts due to competitive pressure, difficult import conditions for Bohemian iron ore and outdated plants, operations were maintained. Joachim Gustav Ferdinand von Elterlein died in 1818, and his younger brother Ludwig Adolph Constantin managed the company for the next ten years. After his death in 1828, his two sisters from Marienberg continued it. As early as 1831 they sold the inheritance to Eduard Wilhelm Breitfeld , in 1835 Franz Benjamin Salzer from Christophhammer acquired the Mittel- und Oberschmiedeberg works. While 2419 quintals of pig iron were produced in 1826 , the following year it was only 1548 quintals. In the period that followed, production declined more and more, so that operations were discontinued around 1860.
The Beyer family then set up a wood grinding shop and later a cardboard factory. Not far from the mouth of the Haselbach flowing into the Preßnitz is the "Sägemühle Neubert", first mentioned in 1846 and still operational today, whose frame saw is operated exclusively with water power. Originally driven by a water wheel, the conversion to a Francis turbine followed in 1912, which delivered an output of around 20 hp with a water input of 220 l / s . The plant was shut down in 1966, but remained functional and can now be viewed in demonstrations.
Together with the administrative village of Arnsfeld, in whose corridor the settlement was located, the office hammer and the Werkweiler Mittelschmiedeberg belonged to the electoral and royal Saxon authorities of Selva until 1856 . From 1856 the place belonged to the court office Annaberg and from 1875 to the official authority Annaberg . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Arnsfeld with its districts Oberschaar and Mittelschmiedeberg came to the district of Annaberg in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Annaberg from 1990 and in 2008 Erzgebirgskreis rose. As a result of the merger of the municipalities of Arnsfeld and Mildenau , Mittelschmiedeberg has been part of the Arnsfeld district of the unified municipality of Mildenau since January 1st, 1999. The Pressnitz Valley Cycle Path was opened in 2001 on the route of the narrow-gauge railway from Selva to Jöhstadt , which ran through Mittelschmiedeberg between 1892 and 1984 .

On the route of the narrow-gauge railway Wolkenstein – Jöhstadt (central part of the former Preßnitztalbahn) existing between 1892 and 1984 , a cycle path was created in the valley of the Preßnitz.
