Neunzehnhain is a small settlement belonging to the town of Pockau-Lengefeld in the Saxon Ore Mountains .

The group of houses surrounded by the Bornwald lies in the valley of the Lautenbach at an altitude of 450 m. Above is from Neunzehnhain the dam Neunzehnhain II and below the dam Neunzehnhain I .

In the year 1550 a possessed man with the possession of a hoof is mentioned in Neunzehnhain in the Augustusburg office . In 1692 a sheet metal hammer was built on this site, which was in operation until 1729. Later a board mill was built, which was operated as a "hammer mill" until 1955. While the population increased from 75 to 121 between 1834 and 1890, it fell to 57 by 1910 due to the construction of the Neunzehnhain I dam for the drinking water supply of Chemnitz and the associated resettlement of some families and reached a low point with 35 people in 1946 after in an air raid on the dams by Allied bombers in 1945, six of the eight existing buildings were destroyed.

In the early 1960s a hydrobiological laboratory of the Zoological Institute of the University of Leipzig was set up in the “Hammerschenke” restaurant . Today the building is the ecological station of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at the Technical University of Dresden .

In 2006 the only remaining residential building next to the ecological station was demolished.

The residents of Neunzehnhain had been to Waldkirchen / Erzgeb since 1840 . and from 1900 to Börnichen / Erzgeb. parish. Politically, the settlement belonged to Börnichen until 1876 and was then independent. On October 1, 1948, the settlement came to Wünschendorf and on January 1, 1999 it was incorporated into Lengefeld.
