history
After the early modern entrepreneur Georg Bernecker from Leipzig had set up two stamping works on the Breitenbach after 1537 , the paint maker Oswald Gluckhenn from Schneeberg built a paint mill on the Breitenbach in 1569, from which a blue paint factory later emerged. In 1570, Emperor Maximilian II allowed the citizens of the Bohemian mountain town of Platten ( Horní Blatná ) to build a new hammer mill in the forest area on the Bohemian-Saxon border on the other side of the confluence of the Breitenbach into the Schwarzwasser . Due to financial difficulties, the mayor and council of the city of Platten sold these rights in 1583 to Sebastian Köppel from Schlaggenwald ( Horní Slavkov ), who built the hammer mill with the associated mill, guest house and residential buildings, which was named Breitenbach.
In 1643, the hammer master from Blauenthal, Caspar Wittich (1602–1673), bought the Breitenbach hammer works, which suffered heavily from marauding soldiers during the Thirty Years' War . In 1651 Wittich built another hammer mill immediately opposite on the Saxon side, which was named Wittigsthal after him and which today belongs to Johanngeorgenstadt . In 1752 there were three blue color mills in Breitenbach : the Breitenbach'sche , the Putz'sche and the Elster'sche blue color mills , as well as the Breitenbacher hammer belonging to Johann George Gottschald and a glassworks that was not accessible due to a lack of wood. The Gotthold tunnel near Zwittermühl was operated with interruptions from 1744 until the 1950s .
In the course of the Bohemian administrative reform of 1849, the amalgamation of several districts (see below) created the "Municipality of Breitenbach", which belonged to the district administration of St. Joachimsthal ( Jáchymov ) and the judicial district of Platten . When the administration was restructured in 1910, Breitenbach was integrated into the Neudek district or later Neudek district ( Nejdek ).
Although after 1910 Breitenbach created its own Roman Catholic based on the designs of the architects Karl Mattusch from Karlsbad. Church received, the place remained in the mountain town of Platten, where the cemetery is still today. In 1939 there were unsuccessful efforts to add Breitenbach as a district to Johanngeorgenstadt. In 1939 there were 1,559 people living in Breitenbach. The official name of the place was until 1948 Breitenbach. After the Munich Agreement , the place was added to the German Empire and belonged to the Neudek district until 1945 .
The Dreckschänke inn on the road to Karlovy Vary ( Karlsbad ) became known beyond the town's borders after the Ore Mountain folk singer Anton Günther dedicated a much-sung song to it in 1904, which was sold on song postcards . The inn was reopened in 1991, closed again ten years later, and has since fallen into disrepair.
tourism
Since the summer of 1991, Potůčky has become a much-visited place for German shopping tourists thanks to its numerous street shops and sales halls, primarily Vietnamese owners and, after the opening of a border crossing for cars, a large petrol station. A snow-making ski slope with a ski lift and a children's ski lift is near the village. The piste is 0.7 km long and has an average gradient of 23%.
traffic
Since 1899 there has been a railway connection across the border to Johanngeorgenstadt and inland, past Heinrichstein , across the Erzgebirge ridge southwest of the Plattenberg to Karlovy Vary ( Karlsbad ). In addition to the Potůčky train station, there is also a stop between the Dreckschänke inn and the Ziegenschacht district (see the Karlsbad – Johanngeorgenstadt railway line ).
Regular buses run via Pernink ( Bärringen ) and Ostrov nad Ohří ( Schlackenwerth ) to Karlovy Vary ( Karlsbad ).
The pedestrian and railway border crossing to Johanngeorgenstadt, which was closed in 1946, has been reopened since June 30, 1991, and since January 16, 2008 also for vehicles up to 3.5 t. The Anton-Günther-Weg, created in 1995, leads through the village .
