history
timeline
On September 29, 1412 Schmiedeberg was first mentioned in a document as Smedewerg . In 1492 a hammer in Neuschmiedeberg is documented for the first time , in which the iron ore from Schellerhau and Berggießhübel were processed and which is considered to be one of the oldest hammer mills in the Ore Mountains . Around this hammer, a Vorwerk with tin mining rights was built in the area of the Weesenstein estate . It later developed into the Schmiedeberg manor and belonged to the Bärenstein domain and was enfeoffed to the Kölbel family . The place name came from the numerous smelting works of the local mining industry. Floating on the Weißeritz was first mentioned in 1521 . In 1644 the place was called Bergflecken Schmiedeberg . After it received town charter in 1675 , it was called a mountain town from 1752 . However , Schmiedeberg never achieved an urban constitution . In the 18th century, the Altenberger Zwitterstockgesellschaft took over the iron hammer and the ironworks .
Schmiedeberg has been called a village since 1833 . The hammer mill was shut down in 1880 and the ironworks survived until the fall of the Berlin Wall . In 1897 there was a heavy flood in the valley of the Rote Weißeritz . In 1898 Schmiedeberg was connected to the telephone network in Saxony. In 1912 the gray foundry was built.
During the time of National Socialism , Hitler , Hindenburg and Mutschmann received honorary citizenship . After the war, the new administration had these entries deleted.
In 1946 the United Workshops Schmiedeberg with 155 jobs were founded. These were dissolved in 1949 and transferred to a VEB . The VEB foundry and mechanical engineering, Ferdinand Kunert ' employed several hundred workers until the turn, causing the site increased greatly. The company was continued after 1990 under the name Schmiedeberger Gießerei GmbH .
During the GDR era, the Scholl siblings holiday camp of VEB Waggonbau Ammendorf was located in the Pöbel valley for the children of its employees.
Incorporations
The first incorporation into Schmiedeberg took place in 1935 through the incorporation of Niederpöbel . On July 1, 1950, the neighboring town of Naundorf was incorporated. After the reunification , the communities Dönschten (1994) and Schönfeld came to Schmiedeberg. In 2001, Obercarsdorf merged with Schmiedeberg. Until Schmiedeberg was incorporated into the large district town of Dippoldiswalde, which came into force on January 1, 2014, the community had the ten districts of Ammelsdorf , Dönschten, Hennersdorf , Naundorf , Niederpöbel, Obercarsdorf, Oberpöbel , Sadisdorf , Schmiedeberg and Schönfeld .

Development of the population
The big jump in the number of inhabitants from 2012 to 2014 can be explained by the incorporation of Schmiedeberg and its districts into the city of Dippoldiswalde. The districts are now included in Dippoldiswalde, so that Schmiedeberg is considered alone. See also the section on population development in the article Dippoldiswalde .

In 1882 the place received a railway connection with Freital and Dippoldiswalde via the narrow-gauge Weißeritztalbahn .
