history
The Johanngeorgenstadt district of Neuoberhaus was built in 1949/1950 as a miners' settlement for the uranium mining workers of the object 08 of the Wismut AG . The settlement was named after the old tin mine Neu Oberhaus Sachsen bei Lachthaus . The employees of shaft administrations 87, 126 and 164 were accommodated here. The housing estate was built adjacent to the site of shaft 125 . 13 wooden barracks were built . 2 of these barracks were "Viennese houses" that only had a ground floor. The others were two-story barracks. They were built on a massive basement. After a short time, up to 3,000 people were living here. The settlement had a central bismuth kitchen and a bismuth HO. With the cessation of mining in the above-mentioned shaft administrations in 1955, the Johanngeorgenstadt municipal housing administration took over the settlement. Due to its remoteness, it was pulled empty until 1956.
Between 1959 and 1965, a youth workshop for the Karl-Marx-Stadt district was housed here.
From 1965 to 1992 the site was used by the “ Martin Hoop ” company vocational school as a central training facility (ZAS) for specialists in geological and mining in the GDR . In addition to the approx. 3,800 apprentices, approx. 500 skilled workers, among others from Mongolia, as well as engineers for drilling technology were trained. It was also used as a holiday home .
After 1992, no new use was found and the buildings were vacated because the remoteness of the settlement would have resulted in high costs. The buildings were then completely demolished and the area reforested.
Even today, former students from all over Germany and abroad meet at class reunions and occasionally at "general meetings".
