history

Private blue paint factory Pfannenstiel around 1850, contemporary engraving

Niederpfannenstiel was built as a small settlement around 1635 for the people of Veit Hans Schnorr the  Elder. Ä. founded the first large paint mill in Saxony, from which later a blue paint factory and today's nickel smelter emerged. The number of inhabitants was constant between 60 and 70 until the end of the 19th century. They lived in three groups of houses around the actual estate , around the paint mill and at the entrance to Bärengrund . The inhabitants belonged to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Lößnitz , were given their own cemetery laid out by the blue paint factory in 1867 and a mourning hall outside the actual cemetery grounds in 1890 . The cemetery area was 640 square meters. Because of the small population there were only a few burials, so in 1934 three people were buried, in 1935 two people. The last funeral took place in 1954. At the request of the residents, responsibility for the cemetery was transferred from Lößnitz to the parish of Aue -zelle in 1923. This looked after the cemetery until 1972, then it was closed because the nickel smelter set up a paint store on the area. All graves were leveled, and the community fulfilled ongoing contracts by moving them to the municipal Nicolai cemetery on Schwarzenberger Strasse.

After the fall of the Wall , the nickel smelter dismantled the paint store and leased the site to a trader for a short time. When he had to give up the location, the area became a parking lot, which the employees of the nearby quarry use.

For recreation in leisure time, an English garden was created between Schwarzwasser and the ditch of the blue color factory. At the beginning of the 20th century the park was abandoned and built on. In 1921 a total of 184 people lived in 14 houses. In 1922 Niederpfannenstiel was incorporated into Aue. The oldest half-timbered building by Niederpfannenstiel, which was built in 1784 and bears house number 10b, has been preserved on the former Bärengrund am Rumpelsbach.

The name of the place is related to its location on an elongated mountain ridge and an almost circular bend in the black water, the so-called hook bend . Already in 1522 there is talk of a tunnel on the Pfannenstielh . In the course of the 18th century, the names Niederpfannenstiel (for the older one) and Oberpfannenstiel (for the new settlement) became established to delimit the current district of Bernsbach , which was founded in 1691 in the forest above the Pfannenstiel .
