history

The hammer mill in Schlössel

Locks

In 1539, Duke Heinrich von Sachsen allowed a Merten Schilling from Marienberg and his company to build a stamp mill in Schlössel and gave him old piles of sinter and cinder. There was probably a hammer mill in the Saxon part of the Schwarzwassertal in the early 16th, maybe even in the 15th century. A Paul Siegel is mentioned as the owner in 1550, and in 1616 Hans Krauss was Hammerherr bei Jöhstadt. His son Georg acquired the plant from his heirs in 1622. The hammer mill suffered badly during the Thirty Years' War . Production declined, plants fell apart. Georg Krauss sold the company on June 2, 1635 to Christoph Rubner, the hammer owner in neighboring Sorgenthal . After ten years, the Rubner family sold it to Christian Meyer.

A Jöhstadt town book reports in detail about the sale:

“On Easter Tuesday of the 1645th year, Josef Rubner, hammer master craftsman in Sorgenthal and Jöhstadt, brought the little hammer, which had collapsed and barely stood almost everywhere, consisting of a dilapidated house with a stable and barns, a grinder with a regular grinder and a baking device, the associated small cowshed, the Krauss's collapsed and desolate houses, very few fields, small patches of land and space at the war forest, further with Hohofen, so only consisted of walls and collapsed housing, without bellows and Hohofen equipment, with invading fresh huts without hammer, help, fresh stove, also with the upper ones completely collapsed huts, with a desolate, almost collapsed board mill including cabbage and cellar houses, furthermore with all Eisenstein collieries in the Preßnitz area to Christian Meyer against assumption of the debts of 2178 guilders. "

Christian Meyer Sr. put the hammer back in good condition. In 1662 he built the new plant in Mittelschmiedeberg , Schlössel inherited his son, the Herzoglich-Altenburgische Hof- und Justizrat Dr. Andreas Meyer. In the 18th century the plant was temporarily idle. In 1758, Gottlieb Kaden received permission to restart the hammer.

In 1823 August Schumann named Schlössel in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning a. a .:

"It understands a hammer property (basically called), which formerly formed a proper hammer mill under the name Unter-Jöhstadt, but now only has a few hammers and hearths: furthermore the hammer mill, turner mill, and the beautiful apartments of 2 merchants, which are very important Do business on the border, so go to busy roads even after this small town. It is said to have got its name from the former castle-like house of the Hammerherrn. "

In the first half of the 19th century the company belonged to the Martin family, a branch of the Frohnau and Königswalder hammer mill owners . In 1852 Ernst Wilhelm Richter wrote about the hammer and the small settlement:

"Schlössel or Hammer Unterjöhstadt, also called the Hammer, is located northeast further down the Schwarzwasser, over which a bridge also leads, and understands, close to the forest, a Hammergut, formerly with a blast furnace, now only with Zain-, Schaar- and gun hammer, 2 mills and some relatively pretty houses. "

The hammer operation finally ended on July 15, 1857 due to a fire that destroyed the hammer mill and the residential building. Various other businesses were later set up on the former hammer mill site, and around 1930 the Chemnitz entrepreneur Rudolf Kinder set up a twisting mill.

The Werkweiler Schlössel

The Werkweiler Schlössel was built in the immediate vicinity of the former hammer mill . Politically, it always belonged to Jöhstadt and, like this one, was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon office of Wolkenstein until 1856 . From 1856 the place belonged to the Jöhstadt judicial office and from 1875 to the district administration Annaberg . With the station "Schlössel" the Werkweiler received a railway connection on June 1, 1892 with the narrow-gauge railway Wolkenstein – Jöhstadt .

Politically, as part of the city of Jöhstadt, Schlössel belonged to the Annaberg district in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ) through the second district reform in the GDR since 1952 , which was continued as the Saxon district of Annaberg from 1990 and in 2008 in the Ore Mountains district rose. In the spring of 1982, goods traffic on the narrow-gauge railway between Steinbach and Jöhstadt was stopped because of the poor condition of the line. On January 13, 1984 the last passenger trains ran between Niederschmiedeberg and Jöhstadt. Shortly after the section was closed, the tracks and bridges were dismantled in various stages from January 1984 to summer 1989.

Since 1992, the Preßnitztalbahn interest group has rebuilt the line between Steinbach and Jöhstadt as a museum railway , and Schlössel has had a siding again since 1993. In 2005, a new exhibition and vehicle hall for the Preßnitztalbahn was built in Schlössel, which was given its own stop. This is located on the site of the former hammer mill.
