Schwarzenberger Hut
The Schwarzenberger Hütte was an ironworks in Sachsenfeld , a neighboring village of the Saxon town of Schwarzenberg / Erzgeb.
history
The hut was built in 1873 by the Magdeburg entrepreneur Hermann Gruson between the Schwarzwasser and the Zwickau – Schwarzenberg railway line , which opened in 1858, on a site that he had previously acquired from the Sachsenfeld manor. After the entry in the commercial register on May 13, 1873, the general management of the Schwarzenberger Hütte submitted a building application for an office and a factory building to the Schwarzenberg court office on July 16 of the same year.
As early as May 1873, Gruson had acquired a number of mines in the Western Ore Mountains , including Riedel's Treasure Trove , God's Blessing Constantly Erbstollen am Roten Hahn near Bermsgrün , Haustein's Hope near Langenberg and Gelber Zweig together with Julius Erbstolln . The previous owner of these pits was Ernst Erdmann Zweigler, the father of the entrepreneur Emil Zweigler, owner of a cardboard and cardboard factory in Wildenau .
The new ironworks did not generate the desired sales due to the onset of the iron crisis. Even after it was sold to the Belgian company Société anonyme des Mines et Usines de Hof-Pilsen-Schwarzenberg in 1877, the smelter was not profitable and was finally closed.
In June 1889, after the Société anonyme went bankrupt, the entire facility was demolished. The blast furnaces were blown up on June 6, 1889. In the following year, M. Förster, Berlin, submitted an application to build a Chamottestein factory on the site of the former Schwarzenberger Hütte. Despite initial concerns about the exhaust gases, the plant was built with the requirement to build two particularly high chimneys. After being sold to Friedrich August Gehlert, he built a stamping and enamelling factory here in 1894. Today there is a shopping center on the site.
