In 1604, the miner Balthasar Baumann was given a tin soap , which was called "booze pool". The name originally referred to a stream from which tin was washed. 1616 is the name Seuschwämm .
A calculation showed that in the period from 1643 to 1671 the yield from the boaring pool was around 17,147 guilders, which was very considerable for the time. At the beginning of the 18th century, a larger grain of gold was found here and delivered to the Dresden court. Soaps were still in use in the Sauschwemme until 1843, as evidenced by several Raithalden dumps up to ten meters high .
In 1845 the few houses and inhabitants of Sauschwemme were placed under the administration of the eastern neighboring town of Steinbach , which was incorporated into Johanngeorgenstadt in 1951.
