history
Early modern age
The place was founded in 1532 by Saxon miners who mined for silver and tin in this area. Count Kaspar and Heinrich Schlick enfeoffed the settlers with reasons to build farmsteads. In addition to miners, artisans also settled there and formed guilds. In 1538 the first church was consecrated. In 1544 Bärringen with Irrgang and Fischbach counted 61 wooden houses. In 1547 King Ferdinand I gave the place a Zinnbergordnung and in 1559 officially the city privileges. The coat of arms was confirmed by Count Joachim Schlick in 1562. In 1581 the establishment of its own mining office and a stately tin smelter took place.
Julius Heinrich von Sachsen-Lauenburg tried in 1625 to get the tin mining going again and confirmed the privileges. In the course of the counter-reformation , the almost entirely Protestant population was given the choice of either becoming Catholic or leaving the country, whereupon many left the country for Saxony. A part belonged to the co-founders of Johanngeorgenstadt . After the decline of the mining industry, those who stayed behind earned their living mainly from homework such as embroidery and sewing. In 1696 Bärringen had 500 souls. In 1714 the construction of a new church began, which was elevated to a parish church in 1765. Fischbach and Salmthal were parish. In 1797 a new town hall was built.
Modern times
Up to the 19th century the spelling varied between Perninger and Bärringer. The official name Bärringen was not established until 1829. Until the abolition of patrimonial rule in 1848/49, Bärringen belonged to the Schlackenwerth rule and from 1850 belonged to the Platten judicial district and from 1910 to the Neudek district .
Bärringen was largely made possible by the company "A. Meinl Erben ”of the local born and deceased Karl Anton Meinl (1821–1873) and his father Adalbert Meinl (* 1780) from Abertham to a center of lace and white goods production with numerous branches in large European cities. She introduced the first knitting machine in 1868 . The son Adalbert Prokop Meinl (1847-1911) inherited the company, was mayor of Bärringen, holder of the Emperor Franz Joseph Order and made Bärringen a popular mountain health resort and winter sports area. Several hotels and pensions were built.
After the First World War , Bärringen was added to the newly created Czechoslovakia in 1919 . Due to the Munich Agreement , the place came to the German Reich in 1938 and until 1945 belonged to the Neudek district , Eger district , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . After the end of World War II , Bärringen was taken over by Czechoslovakia; almost all of the German residents were expropriated and driven out . The town charter was lost. Today Pernink has about 650 inhabitants.
On July 7, 2020, two passenger trains collided head-on, 400 m from Pernink station. Two people died and nine were seriously injured. The trains were occupied with 33 passengers and had planned the station Pernink cross must. The train from Johanngeorgenstadt to Karlsbad did not wait for the crossing, however, and entered the section occupied by the opposite train. The rescue work was difficult because of the mountainous terrain.
