history

In the 16th century, "Stahlberg" referred to the ridge west of the Pöhlbach valley, which today includes the mountains Feuerturm ( 851  m above sea  level ) and Toskabank ( 887  m above sea  level ). It was not until the middle of the 17th century that the name was transferred to the settlement that formed on the north-east elevation. The Stahlberg settlement, which today has almost grown together with Bärenstein located to the north, was created a century after Bärenstein was first mentioned in documents in 1525. Similar to the neighboring settlement precipitation in the south, Stahlberg emerged around 1650 on the border of the Electorate of Saxony. Due to the beginning of the Counter-Reformation in the neighboring Kingdom of Bohemia, Protestant religious refugees ( exiles ) settled in the area, which in addition to Stahlberg also established the neighboring towns of precipitation and Hammerunterwiesenthal . Since 1658, Stahlberg has been parish in the Protestant parish in Bärenstein. From the 17th to the 19th century, tin, silver and copper ore were mined south of Stahlberg. Well-known treasure troves are u. a. the "Kramer Stolln" and the "Jakob Stolln".

Politically, Stahlberg, like Bärenstein, initially belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Grünhain ( Unteramt Schlettau ). The neighboring town of precipitation was already part of the Schwarzenberg district office ( Unteramt Crottendorf ). When the Schwarzenberg district office was reorganized in 1832/33, Stahlberg, which had previously belonged to the Grünhain office, with the southeastern part of the Schwarzenberg district office around Oberwiesenthal became the newly established Justice and Rent Office in Oberwiesenthal, which was called the Wiesenthal office or Wiesenthal court, united. Bärenstein, however, remained with the Grünhain office. Since 1856 Stahlberg belonged to the Oberwiesenthal judicial office , whose administrative district was incorporated into the district administration of Annaberg in 1875 . In 1896 Stahlberg was incorporated into Bärenstein.

In the 19th century there was a school in Stahlberg, in which the majority of the Stahlberg students were trained. The Bärenstein volunteer fire brigade was first mentioned in the district of Stahlberg in the local chronicle in 1876. After it was disbanded a few years later, there was a Stahlberg fire-fighting train from the Bärenstein volunteer fire department in 1895. After the Stahlberg fire brigade was re-established in 1903, it had 80 comrades in 1905 and 170 active and passive members for its 25th anniversary in 1930. In 1931 the Stahlberg volunteer fire brigade even owned a music band. With the merger of the fire brigades in Stahlberg, Mittelbärenstein and Kühberg to form FF Bärenstein, the independence of the Stahlberg fire brigade ended in 1936.

Between 1948 and 1954 the reduction of carried uranium ore through the SAG bismuth in the shafts "Stalin shaft 281" and "Stalin shaft 282".

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , Stahlberg came as part of the Bärenstein community in 1952 to the Annaberg district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ), which was continued as the Saxon district of Annaberg from 1990 and was added to the Erzgebirgskreis in 2008.
