history

The Hifteberg houses were first mentioned in a document in 1492. In 1728 the head stable master Hans Siegmund von Schaumberg granted the glass master Michael Gundelach the concession to build and operate a glass and faience hut (Gundelachshütte). The company flourished in the first decades of its existence and the place grew around the Saar houses . Michael Gundelach was promoted to castle captain at Eisfeld and sold the hut in 1772 to the Duchess Charlotte Amalie von Sachsen-Meiningen , who converted it into a forester's house. In 1737 the Hifteberg houses , one in the area of ​​the Sonneberg court and two on Schaumberg-Rauensteiner territory in the later Schalkau office above a former gold mine in the bottom of the upper Grümpen , were counted as Siegmundsburg.
