Location of the municipality of Muldenhammer in the Vogtland district

Muldenhammer is the name of a municipality in the Saxon Vogtlandkreis . It was created on October 1, 2009 through the merger of the previously independent communities of Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz , Tannenbergsthal and Hammerbrücke and has over 3000 inhabitants.

geography

The area of ​​the municipality of Muldenhammer extends in the area of ​​the upper course of the Zwickauer Mulde as well as the Small Pyra and Large Pyra . Large areas of the community are covered by forest, including the Auerbacher Forest . In the western part of the municipality, the relief is characterized by low elevations and flat, undulating depressions. In the east, on the other hand, the valleys cut increasingly deeper, for example at Tannenbergsthal and around Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz. This is where the transition from the Vogtland to the Western Ore Mountains takes place.

The traffic road system is well developed in the western municipality. In the regions affected by the mountains, the paved roads run mainly in the large valleys. There is only an active railway connection in the neighboring municipality of Muldenberg. Originally, trains ran here on the Chemnitz – Adorf line . This section of the route has been closed since 1975.

The region has a considerable water retention capacity and is therefore important for the production of drinking water. The Untere Floßgraben, which branches off from the equalization basin in front of the Muldenberg dam , crosses the municipality in the west and is still water-bearing as far as the former Leonhardt sawmill in the Hammerbrücke district. In addition to the extensive forests, there are numerous moor meadows and some former peat cuttings.

history

Pioneer vacation camp "Hanno Günther" in Gottesberg

In November 2008, the formation of a unified municipality was legitimized by local council resolutions in the three municipalities that had formed the joint administrative association Waldgebiet Vogtland since 1994 . A working group with representatives from all three communities decided on the name Muldenhammer in January 2009 to commemorate the earlier iron processing in hammer mills . The design of the coat of arms contains elements of all three places: hammer and mallet represent Hammerbrücke, Frischhaken and rising sun Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz and the fir trees Tannenbergsthal. The watercourse of the trough is also a unifying element. The contract for the formation of the unified community was signed on May 28, 2009 in the Tannenbergsthaler Herrenhaus, which is intended to be the seat of the community administration. This came into force on October 1st. On October 1, 2019, the Muldenhammer community turned 10.

At GDR times of the entertained VEB Maxhütte Unterwellenborn in the district Gottesberg the pioneer camp " Hanno Günther " for the children of his company employees.
