The solar vortex houses on a historical map section

The oldest known information about the development of this mountain region is provided by the notes of Johannes Mathesius , first published in 1562 , who at that time was employed as rector and pastor in Sankt Joachimsthal . In a topographical representation he mentions the mountain as a "sun vortex" . In a description of the boundaries of the parish , he reports on the settlement:

“The sun vortex also belongs in the Raths zirck. But because the people in winter time this church is remote / those of the solar vortex [...] / get on amicably with the people from the God of God / and let a window be made in ire newe church / that relaxes / the churches on the God of God use / and to recover the Sacrament from the pastor. "

According to the list of mines by Mathesius attached to the records, several corridors were opened in this area from 1533 to 1551 . Including 1536 the “Sun whirls funtgrub am Widergebirg” and 1543 the “Unrest funtgrub am Widergebirg”. In the maps of the Franziszeische Landesaufnahme (1842-1853) the "Unrest Schacht" is mapped southeast of the Sonnenwirbelhäuser, which speaks for mining as a reason for settling at this altitude.

In 1927 the settlement consisted of two houses. When the Germans were expelled from Czechoslovakia after the end of World War II , the settlement was abandoned and the houses were later demolished.
