The name "precipitation" first referred to the forest area on the western slope of the Pöhlbach, before the name was transferred to the settlement of exiles founded there in the 17th century. Around 1600 there was a settlement in the corridor of today's precipitation, which was called "Georg Küttner's house, ofm Nieder Schlagk". It consisted of two buildings and a pond and was located just below the mouth of the Luxbach in the area of ​​today's building group of Gasthof Bären / Siegelmühle.

The settlement on the border of the Electorate of Saxony came into being in the 17th century. Due to the beginning of the Counter-Reformation in the neighboring Kingdom of Bohemia, Protestant religious refugees ( exiles ) settled in the area, which in addition to precipitation, also established the neighboring towns of Stahlberg and Hammerunterwiesenthal. Since 1657, precipitation has been parochial in the Protestant parish in Bärenstein. Politically, precipitation was counted on Hammerunterwiesenthal. The place was in the Electoral Saxon office of Crottendorf , which was administratively closely related to the neighboring district office of Schwarzenberg and was finally united with this in 1670. Between 1650 and 1870, precipitation showed a flourishing mining industry, including silver, cobalt, copper and iron ore. The place belonged to the Wiesenthaler Bergrevier. The pits "Johannes and Strasbourg luck", "Unverhofft Glück" and "Freuden-Huthaus am Luxbach" and "Neu Unverhofft Glück" were located south and west of precipitation. Furthermore, peat was extracted in the Luxheide and mica schist on the Steinberg.

In 1832 the Schwarzenberg district office was reorganized. From the south-eastern part of the office around Oberwiesenthal with the neighboring places, a judicial and rent office in Oberwiesenthal was formed under the name Amt Wiesenthal and court Wiesenthal, to which also precipitation now belonged. Since 1856 precipitation as part of Hammerunterwiesenthal belonged to the judicial office of Oberwiesenthal , whose administrative district was affiliated to the official authority of Annaberg in 1875 .

The Cranzahl-Kurort Oberwiesenthal narrow-gauge railway, which opened on July 19, 1897 and where precipitation received a stop, gave the place a connection to the rail network. The station, dedicated to the train station in 1948, is located a little west of the village in the Pöhlbach valley and is located in the forest, already on the Hammerunterwiesenthal corridor. In 1920, the trained electrical mechanic and later zither soloist and composer Curt Herbert Richter appeared for the first time with Anton Günther in precipitation. From then on he devoted himself to folk music from the Ore Mountains.

In the autumn of 1946, the Wismut SAG began exploring the Neu Unverhofft Glück mine . This overcame the old structures and opened up the deposit through numerous shafts , tunnels and pits. The objects were already in safe custody in 1954 . During this time, 132.7 tons of uranium were extracted. During the investigation work on uranium ore between 1950 and 1954, a deposit on river and barite was discovered. The mining investigation work was carried out in the central area in a depth interval of 260 m to 554 m above sea level by the Wismut and stopped in 1960.

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Hammerunterwiesenthal with its district fell in 1952 to the district of Annaberg in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Annaberg from 1990 and was added to the Erzgebirgskreis in 2008 . The rural community Hammerunterwiesenthal lost its independence on January 1, 1997 and was incorporated into Oberwiesenthal. Their district of precipitation was reclassified to Bärenstein due to a signature campaign by the residents. On December 1st, 2008, its status as part of the municipality was revoked.

With the rise in raw material prices, the extraction of raw materials in the deposit on fluorspar and barite became economically interesting again. On March 4, 2008, the Saxon Mining Authority granted the “Erzgebirgische Fluss- und Schwerspatwerke GmbH” a license in accordance with Section 8 of the Federal Mining Act (BBergG) for the extraction of fluorspar and heavy spar. On November 8, 2013, the mine was officially opened after a two-week trial run. It is already in the hallway of Hammerunterwiesenthal and therefore belongs to Oberwiesenthal. The mine has been in regular operation since 2015.

traffic

The federal highway 95 runs right through the town . The place has a train station on the narrow-gauge railway Cranzahl-Kurort Oberwiesenthal (Fichtelbergbahn), which has a connection to the normal-gauge railway line Vejprty-Annaberg-Buchholz unt Bf in Cranzahl .
