Neuwernsdorf is a part of the municipality of Neuhausen / Erzgeb. in the extreme south of the Saxon district of Central Saxony directly on the state border with the Czech Republic.
geography
Neuwernsdorf is in the transition area from the Eastern Ore Mountains to the Middle Ore Mountains , embedded in the upper Flöhatal in the Ore Mountains / Vogtland Nature Park . Direct neighbors are Rauschenbach (1 km away), Deutschgeorgenthal (0.5 km), the neighboring Czech municipality Český Jiřetín (Georgendorf), Cämmerswalde (2 km) and the municipality of Neuhausen / Erzgeb. (7 km) with the 789 m high Schwartenberg . Below the village, the Flöha is dammed in the Rauschenbach dam, where part of the village stretched until the dam was built.
Place name
The origin of the place name can only be assumed. It is not proven that the first settlements took place on the Wernsbach. It is believed that the first settlers came from Wernsdorf near Klostergrab in Bohemia and therefore called their new hometown Neuwernsdorf.
history
The place was probably 1650 to 1670 as the impact in Bohemia comprehensive Counter-Reformation for the revival of Catholicism established. According to the Viennese genealogist Günther Kallinowsky, between 1659 and 1669 at least 350 inhabitants of the villages of the parish Fleyh [that was Georgendorf , Willerdorf and Motzdorf ] were bloody driven from Bohemia to Saxony . They were welcomed there after several plague epidemics and the Thirty Years' War . The small town on the Erzgebirgskamm could also have existed as early as the 14th century, when the two glassworks Neuwernsdorf I and II south of the locality were mentioned. Once upon a time there were supposed to have been unprovable gold discoveries on the Wernitzbach.
The once independent village without a church became part of Cämmerswalde on January 1, 1924. In 1963, a not inconsiderable part of the town had to give way to the construction of the Rauschenbach dam (completed in 1968). 184 residents were relocated. 23 residential buildings with 64 apartments had to be demolished. The restaurant, the "Hengst" bakery right next to it, the "CG Meyer" chair factory and the "Hocke & Hegewald" wood goods factory disappeared by 1964. Neuwernsdorf, which previously employed up to 200 workers, became meaningless after the political change in the GDR also closed the chair factory (100 employees). After the incorporation of Cämmerswalde to Neuhausen / Erzgeb. a 1994 census showed 151 inhabitants for the district of Neuwernsdorf. As of December 31, 2008 there were 130 residents.
