Only a small piece of forest around the Schwarzheider Ferdinandsteich is still preserved in its original form, the rest of the Pommelheide today is a picture of the remains of opencast mining holes .
history
Around 1600 the Pommelheide and the place Zschipkau belonged to the Bohemian - Saxon noble house " von Schleinitz " on Saathain . At that time, his own wolf Dietrich von Schleinitz leased the Pommelheide to the Saxon elector as a hunting ground. Until 1861 it was an exclave of the Mückenberg rule and until 1918 belonged to the Saxon royal Grünhauser forest of the Meissen office of Hayn and until the beginning of the first devastation in 1928 to the Prussian state forest . The people living there were very original and Sorbian , they lived mainly from fishing , glassmaking and milling . The catchment area was originally a wet forest area with many streams , swamps , ponds and beaver dams and crisscrossed by countless moors and gravel dunes . In addition to the otter and beaver were mainly red and black game and lapwings and gray heron home .
