About this picture

The town of Pausa-Mühltroff is located in the Saxon Vogtland district . The city with around 5,400 inhabitants advertises itself to be at the center of the earth . This goes back to an entry in the town chronicle, according to which Pausa is located in the geographical center of the old Vogtland. The earlier break / Vogtl. ( Pausa / Vogtland ) renamed itself to Pausa-Mühltroff on January 1, 2013 after the incorporation of the neighboring town of Mühltroff .

history

Probably in the 6./7. In the 19th century, Slavic tribes settled in the area. The first documentary mention of the village as Pussen dates from 1263 in a document about a purchase between the Deutschherren -Ordenshaus Plauen and the Mildenfurth monastery near Weida (today part of Wünschendorf / Elster ). The first documented mention of the town as a town was in 1393, the oldest town statutes date from 1449. Pausa was the seat of the small Vogtland office of Pausa , which was later merged with the office of Plauen . There is no longer anything to suggest that there was an official mill in Pausa shortly after the city was first mentioned . The city ​​wall has been documented since 1571 . The development from a purely agricultural area to industrial trade began in the 17th century. From the 18th century on, textile companies (embroidery, weaving, hosiery) shaped the cityscape. A specialty in Pausa was the production of ships' flags in the first third of the 19th century. In 1883 the Mehltheuer – Weida railway line was opened, where Pausa was given a train station. As a result, a number of factories were built, which progressed the industrialization and made Pausa a prosperous industrial town.

During the time of the GDR , a whole range of supraregional importance worked in Pausa, for example

  • VEB Pametall (sole manufacturer of aluminum tableware),
  • VEB Miederwerk (producer of corsetry such as bras, girdles; export to the mail order companies Neckermann and Quelle ),
  • VEB Dekostoffe Mülsen, Pausa plant (cloth napkins),
  • VEB Drahtweberei Pausa (production of expanded metal for the border fences of the GDR and of large-meshed industrial screens),
  • VEB Linen Union Elsterberg Werk A Pausa (bed linen; export to the mail order companies Neckermann and Quelle),
  • VEB Rotpunkt Gummiwarenfabrik (work and surgical gloves made of rubber) and
  • VEB Elektroinstallation Pausa (electrical fuses / fuse links made of hard porcelain).

In addition there was still a number of smaller industrial companies. All together made Pausa an industrial city with a far greater importance than the size of the city would suggest. In the wake of reunification, there was an extensive decline in the Pausa industry. Only a few companies survived, were privatized and are enjoying positive development. The population sank considerably due to emigration, which was only offset by incorporation.

In the GDR, Pausa belonged to the Gera district and initially became Thuringian after the reunification of Germany . On April 1, 1992, the Pausaers pushed through their reintegration into the Free State of Saxony. Local incorporations also took place in the 1990s, making Pausa a sub-center . On January 10, 2000, an administrative community was formed between the town of Pausa and the town of Mühltroff, six kilometers to the west, called the Pausa administrative community. On January 1, 2013, the administrative community was dissolved and the town of Mühltroff was incorporated into the town of Pausa.

Population development

Development of the population (from 1998 December 31st) :

  • 1834: 2191
  • 1998: 4189
  • 1999: 4179
  • 2000: 4139
  • 2001: 4112
  • 2002: 4052
  • 2003: 3988
  • 2004: 3956
  • 2005: 3902
  • 2006: 3834
  • 2007: 3787
  • 2008: 3724
  • 2012: 5288
  • 2013: 5230
  • 2014: 5154
  • 2015: 5102
  • 2016: 5052
Data source from 1998: State Statistical Office Saxony

The figures do not adequately reflect the dramatic loss of population after 1990, caused by the closure of numerous industrial plants and the resulting emigration, as the number of residents was added by extensive incorporation.

Culture and sights

Buildings

The architectural sights of Pausa include the town hall (1892, historicist building) with a rotating globe, the former district court (1823, classicist building), the town church of St. Michaelis (1824–1825, classicist hall church ) with church square and remnants of the city wall. Also worth seeing are:

  • The wood-carved altar of the baroque parish church of Saint Maria Magdalena in the Ebersgrün district.
  • The fortified church in the Thierbach district.
  • The triangulation column station 155 of the Royal Saxon triangulation from 1876 on the Sandberg near Thierbach. It was put back in its place in the 1990s.
  • The ring wall in the Linda district, remnants of a small medieval fortress from the early settlement phase of this region with earth wall and remains of the moat.
  • Bad Linda, a villa with partially used gardens (rhododendron) on both sides of the country road and two ponds, near the Reinhard spring in the forest.

Natural monuments

  • Eckardts Park with its springs, nature trail and animal enclosure .
  • Near the Bad Linda location , in the Ehrlig corridor, the Reinhardsquelle, where ferrous mineral water from Ordovician slates emerges in a contained spring in the forest area and creates an ocher-colored spring sediment.
  • Pausaer Weide nature reserve
  • Orchid meadow on the Wallengrüner Flur at Jahnberg.

Sports

  • The wrestling club Pausa, founded in 1909, is very successful. From 1932 to 1939 the city was called the "wrestling stronghold". With the wrestling club ASV Plauen there has been a competition community of two men's teams (season 2009/2010: Oberliga Sachsen and 2. Bundesliga Nord) and a youth team in the youth league of Central Germany for several years. In 2008, the club was awarded the Green Belt of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) for its work with young talent .
  • Pausa has a well-developed network of hiking trails about 85 kilometers in length.
  • Leisure center pool Pausa on the butter mountain. On the night of October 28th to 29th, 2007, the pool's restaurant burned to the ground as a result of arson. There was damage of around 700,000 euros. The building has now been rebuilt and the restaurant has reopened.
  • An eight-hour Trabant race takes place in Pausa every year.

Center of the Earth

The axis of the earth

The statement to lie at the center of the earth was made in a modification of the fact that Pausa is relatively exactly in the middle of the original Vogtland . The "marketing" of this property began at the end of the 18th century after Pausa became Bad Pausa for a few decades from 1850 ; the corresponding mineral water sources were proven as early as the 15th century. The exact location of the center point, and thus the point of exit of the earth's axis , changed over the course of time: a water box on the market, a lid and a brass ball in the hallway in the floor of local inns. Today the earth axis can be viewed in the basement of the town hall for a fee and can also be lubricated there. Marketing is also carried out by selling "Erdachsenschmieröl" (a herbal liqueur) and the process from the Erdachsendeckelscharnierschmitternippel-Kommission zu Pausa e. V. is monitored.

The landmark of the place symbolizes - for the first time in 1934 - a globe mounted on the town hall roof, today with a diameter of 3 meters and a weight of 1.2 tons. The model is illuminated and rotated at night (but against the sense of rotation of the globe, otherwise the writing “Pausa - Center of the Earth” would not be legible).

Bernstadt also claims the designation center of the earth on its own near Görlitz .

Ebersgrün wind farm

In the district of Ebersgrün, a wind park with four wind turbines was built from October 2012 within six months as part of the energy transition . The Repower MM 92 turbines with a total nominal output of 8.2 MW were completed in May 2013 and went online. The hub height is 100 meters each, the rotor diameter 92 meters each. The operator of the wind farm is WKN AG.
