history

church

The Waldhufendorf St. Michaelis was first mentioned in a document in 1348. The name of the place goes back to a pilgrimage chapel dedicated to the Archangel Michael , which was built on the former Fürstenweg from Freiberg to Augustusburg . With the beginning of silver mining in the Freiberg mountain area , the upper, heavily agricultural part of the village in particular changed into a miners' settlement. The Rotvorwerksteich was created on the Goldberg in 1577 . In 1572, the Himmelsfürst Fundgrube was awarded in the southern corridor of St. Michaelis . It was located in the southwest of the Freiberg district and, together with the Himmelfahrt Fundgrube, was the most profitable and best-known Saxon ore mine in the 19th century . A small settlement developed around the treasure trove, but politically it always belonged to St. Michaelis.

Along with Oberschöna , Wegefarth and Linda, St. Michaelis was one of the four Eckhard villages. These were fiefdoms of the Hersfeld monastery in Hessen . The place originally belonged to the Altzella monastery near Nossen . Since 1532 St. Michaelis was an official village , which until 1856 was in the electoral or royal Saxon district of Freiberg . From 1856 St. Michaelis belonged to the Brand Court Office and from 1875 to the Freiberg District Administration . With the opening of the Brand-Erbisdorf-Langenau railway line on July 15, 1890, a stop was inaugurated in the southern part of the municipality of Himmelsfürst . It was in operation until the line was closed in 1997.

The neighboring town of Linda , west of St. Michaelis, was incorporated into St. Michaelis on July 1, 1950. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR, the place came to the Brand-Erbisdorf district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). Since the incorporation of St. Michaelis into the town of Brand-Erbisdorf on October 1, 1993, St. Michaelis has formed the village of St. Michaelis with its district of Himmelsfürst and the district of Linda . As a district of Brand-Erbisdorf, St. Michaelis came from the Saxon district of Brand-Erbisdorf to the district of Freiberg in 1994 and to the district of Central Saxony in 2008.
