history
A document dated December 31, 1349, which writes the manor house at the castle like the current place name. A castle is mentioned in 1372, a knightly estate not far from it in the 16th century.
The old housing estate originally served to accommodate those in the service of the manor. Their houses accompany the valley road from Großolbersdorf and the branch from it to the estate as well as the connection ascending on the northern flank of the castle hill.
With the Reformation in 1536 the place to Filialkirche Großolbersdorf belonged parish Wolkenstein . In 1575 Großolbersdorf became an independent parish.
The first industrial building was erected in 1835 on the neck of the Umlaufberg surrounded by the Zschopau instead of the lower Griesmühle. The 8 floors and 115 cubits (≈ 65 m) wide building of the "Fiedler und Lechlaschen cotton spinning mill", which at the time clearly exceeded all other spinning mills in Germany with 60,000 spindles and 600 workers. Two iron, 10 to 11 cubits (= 5.6 to 6.2 m) high and 2 cubits (= 1.1 m) wide water wheels together delivered around 60 hp . From 1838 a factory school existed, which was later converted into a public elementary school. The local school building was built in 1901/02.
The Mühlgraben tunnel, which supplied the impact water , was laid out for the lower Griesmühle in the 16th century and expanded in 1834.
In 1915 the facilities burned down, killing 9 people and injuring 22. After that, the partly rebuilt building housed a company of the Chemnitz mechanical engineering company Moll, which manufactured barrels from sheet metal. At the beginning of 1926, the plant was taken over by Zschopauer Motorenwerke J. G. Rasmussen AG ( DKW ), which from 1929 onwards manufactured eight and six-cylinder engines in Scharfenstein for the Audi type SS and type T cars built in Zwickau . From 1931 there was the production of cooling and power machines under the name “Deutsche Kühl- und Kraftmaschinen Gesellschaft mb H.” - after 1945 this was named “VEB DKK Scharfenstein”. In the 1970s, this company recorded more than 2,000 commuters, with Scharfenstein only manufacturing refrigeration systems such as compressors. The final assembly took place in Niederschmiedeberg . In order to be able to offer at least part of the workforce living space in Scharfenstein, a new housing estate was also built in the 1970s a little south of the town center on the left bank of the Zschopau.
In 1994 the municipalities of Drebach, Grießbach, Hopfgarten, Scharfenstein and Venusberg founded the administrative association Grüner Grund . On January 1, 2005, Scharfenstein was incorporated into Drebach. With the merger of the municipalities of Drebach and Venusberg on January 1, 2010, the administrative association was finally dissolved.
On February 6, 2005, the regional bishop Jochen Bohl inaugurated the evangelical community center in Scharfenstein.
