Podlesí ( German  Streitseifen ) is a district of Potůčky (Breitenbach) in Okres Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic .

location

Streitseifen is located at a height of 852  m nm in the western Ore Mountains , away from major roads in the forest area of ​​the rear Rabenberg on the north side of the 961 m high Sandfelsberg. By consisting of five houses originally place flowing Podleský Potok (Streitseifener Bach) , the near Rozhraní rises and formerly known as Age soaps led.

history

Streitseifen owes its foundation to mining in the 16th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1554. The place name goes back to a dispute over a tin soap mine . In 1583 silver was also found here . The finds must have been so productive that a silver smelter was put into operation, which is mentioned in 1611.

On the way to Breitenbach was the "Glücksburg" mine in the forest with the mine house of the same name, which gave the 852 m high Glücksburgberg its name. According to legend, a castle used to stand here. Before 1925 Kleophas Ullmann reported from Streitseifen to folklorist and saga collector Johann Endt: “There was an old castle on the way from Streitseifen to Breitenbach. A few years ago we found the foundation walls while digging. A treasure was buried in the castle ... “ According to the legend, on the mountain building of the Glücksburg there was a fire blessing of a gypsy woman from around 1800 . Well-protected from all human fire, the mountain building stood in the middle of the forest until lightning struck at the end of the 19th century and the building burned down completely.

By following the Thirty Years' War strengthened incipient Counter-Reformation left several residents of armed soaps and Glücksburg Bohemia in order to Saxon side with exiles from the mountain town of plates and other bohemian types Johanngeorgenstadt to start. After the decline in mining, the remaining residents of Streitseifen were mainly engaged in forestry. They also raised cattle, and because of the relatively sheltered location, they could even grow potatoes. Several residents were employed in Breitenbach's factories.

Streitseifen was parish to the church of St. Laurentius in plates. In 1847 the place had 3 houses with 45 inhabitants. Until the patronage was abolished, Streitseifen in the kk Montanwalddominium Joachimsthal was under the administration of the kk Bergoberamt Joachimsthal. In the course of the Bohemian administrative reform of 1849, the "municipality Breitenbach" was formed by amalgamating several districts, which belonged to the district administration St. Joachimsthal and the judicial district of Platten .

House no. 3 was fundamentally rebuilt around 1930 and was given the name "Edelweiss-Hof". After the German population was expelled from Streitseifen in 1946, this house was used as a company holiday home. Today it is the hotel “Red Fox” (U Červené lišky). Not far from Streitseifen there is a pedestrian border crossing to Breitenbrunn / Erzgeb on the old Joachimsthaler Straße at Himmelswiese .
