The Rehhübel is a 930.2  m above sea level. NHN high mountain in Saxony .

Geographical location

The Rehhübel is located in the western Erzgebirge near Oberwildenthal and south of the Sauschwemme , a district of Johanngeorgenstadt in the Erzgebirge district . The next higher elevation not far from the Rehhübels is 1018.2  m above sea level, about three kilometers to the north . NHN high Auersberg . The border with the Czech Republic runs just a few hundred meters south of the Rehhübel .

geology

The Rehhübel belongs to the Roteisen - Baryt formation. The Rehhübler block train was once the most important and was best known for the distinctive steps of the red glass head .

history

While the Rehhübel was a charcoal burner in the 16th century , the mining of red iron stone , quartz and pitchblende began in the 17th century . In 1656 the Allerheiligen mine is mentioned. The most important mountain lord here around 1700 was Veit Hans Schnorr von Carolsfeld , who owned the three brothers , St. Christoph and Mariä Himmelfahrt pits .

Recovered timber from the Urbanus Erbstollen, even a "tunnel louse" (wooden wedge) was there

Tin and iron ore are among the raw materials mined in the Wildenthal area since the earliest times. The mine field at Rehhübel belonged to the Eibenstock mining district in Electoral Saxony. This included the entire area between Gottesberg in the west and Johanngeorgenstadt in the east. The first documented mentions of iron and tin ore mining in the area south of Schwarzenberg date back to the last quarter of the 14th century. It has not yet been conclusively clarified when the mining around Wildenthal began. Old cracks show a large number of heaps and pit names in the area around the Urbanus tunnel, which indicate intensive, near-day mining already before 1700. The Urbanus tunnel, an inheritance tunnel, also served for drainage of mines located above such as the “St. Johannes Fundgrube ”and later also the“ Lorenz Fundgrube ”. In 1833 the "Yearbook for the Saxon Miner and Hüttenmann" mentioned u. a. that “bey Sct. Johannes am Rehhübel [...] there is always no lack of iron ore fragments. "And" The Urbaneser Stollnort moved away at 14 7/8 Lachter around noon in the Lorenzer Felde. "A year later (1834) the one in the Lorenz treasure trove is also dismantled in the yearbook The ore vein is described as follows: “Freylich is [...] the dewatering, which requires 6 men a day, very expensive [...]. In the meantime, the approach of the deeper Urbanus tunnel from St. Johannes [...] should completely remedy this evil in not too long a time. "

In historical crack documents it can often be seen that at the time of the measurement, tunnels and cavities that were no longer accessible were no longer shown. The current diurnal breaks show that here too the cracks with regard to mine workings on the Urbanus tunnel that may have been built before 1780 are incomplete.

Up until the beginning of the 1930s, the St. Johannes hat house stood on the Rehhübelhang slope towards Oberwildenthal , which once served as a pit house for the mining of the Roteisenstein. The Lorenz Society also suspected the Lorenz-Tiefer-Erbstollen here . The Lorenz houses and the Lorenzweg that still exists today were named after her.

Not far from the Rehhübels, the Hohlbauer Kunstgraben passed until after the First World War .
