history
12th to 16th centuries
For centuries, Stollberg has been the center of a natural-historical cultural landscape. The origins of the Stollberg settlement, first mentioned as a city ( civitas ) in 1343, date back to the time of the first settlement of the Ore Mountains . The first owners of the Stal (e) burc (first documented mention in 1244 probably forgery, certainly in 1267 Stal-burch ) and the Stollberg rulership belonging to it were the Erkenbertingers, who later referred to themselves as the Burgraves of Starkenberg . Originally they came from Mainfranken near Würzburg and appeared in 1088 in the vicinity of the Bishop of Naumburg . This made them settle in Tegkwitz near Altenburg . At the end of the 12th century, Erkenbert IV von Tegkwitz settled the later rule of Stollberg, whose seat and center was the medieval border fortress Stal (e) burc. After the Schönburgs took over the area around 1300, they sold it to King Wenceslaus of Bohemia in 1367 . The town of Stollberg, which is always connected to the castle, was first mentioned as such ( civitas ) in 1343/46, the first mention was made in 1296. The town's market rights are also documented from 1343 onwards. The name of the city changed from "Stolburg" (1412) to "Stolbergk" (1459).
The castle and town of Stollberg passed to Saxony as a Bohemian fief in 1459 . In 1473 they came to the von Schönberg family and in 1564 to the Wettin rule . The rule of Stollberg became the Electoral Saxon Office of Stollberg . The Staleburc was converted into an electoral hunting lodge , which was destroyed by fire in 1602 and repeatedly during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). Two important trade routes crossed near the former ford through the Gablenz River. The Böhmische Steig led from Altenburg to Prague . The Chemnitzer road ran between the city and the same Dresden . So often traders and carters came to the city, who were referred to as "Kärrner" because of their two-wheeled carts with which they mainly transported salt and ore. The legend of the "Kärrner von Stollberg" reminds of them to this day.
17th to 19th century
In the 17th century, Stollberg Castle was used as a remand prison. For this purpose, a new keep (today's clock tower) was built in the Hohe Eck , from which the new name Hoheneck Castle and the Hoheneck settlement that developed around it was derived from 1706 . The name "Hoheneck" first appeared in 1704 as an official name on a loan. A fire in Herrengasse in 1809 destroyed the Herrengasse, the market with the town hall, the boys' school and the parish. In 1812 the foundation stone was laid for the town hall (today's building of the district court). In 1815 the Hoheneck Castle was rebuilt, which until 1856 also housed the Stollberg Rent and Justice Office. The city of Stollberg became the seat of an independent superintendent in 1837 . The Städtische Sparkasse opened in 1855. Until 1856, Stollberg was the seat of the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Stollberg Office and from 1856 the seat of the Stollberg court office . In 1875, the city of Stollberg first came to the administrative authority of Chemnitz .
In the middle of the 19th century, industrialization began in Stollberg. In 1855 the construction of the large factory buildings of the stocking factory FE Woller, founded in 1824, began. The Stollberg (Sachs) station was built at the same time as the Stollberg – St. Egidien opened in 1879. With the opening of the Zwönitz – Chemnitz Süd railway (section Zwönitz – Stollberg in 1889, section Stollberg – Chemnitz in 1895), the Stollberg station became a railway junction. The Hoheneck prison was opened at Hoheneck Castle in 1862 . At the turn of the 20th century, the city of Stollberg received numerous new buildings (1867: district poor house, 1873: secondary school, 1879: municipal gas station, 1886: new town hall, 1898: new post office, 1899: municipal slaughterhouse, 1903: royal teachers' seminar).
20th century to the present
On July 1, 1910, the administrative center of Stollberg was formed from the southwestern part of the Chemnitz District Administration, the administrative center of which was the city of Stollberg. In this context, the city of Stollberg received a new administration building. In 1923 the place Hoheneck was incorporated into Stollberg. The Chemnitz – Stollberg section of today's Federal Motorway 72 was opened in 1939. At the end of the Second World War , four level-headed anti-fascists prevented the forcible capture of the city by US troops by organizing the raising of white flags: Heinrich Bley, Walter Röhner, Ernst Dittmann and Heinz Rimbach. The deputy mayor Johannes Friedrich was therefore shot by armed forces soldiers. The city of Stollberg was briefly occupied by the Americans on May 8, 1945. What is certain is that the town and parts of the Stollberg district belonged to the unoccupied area in the Western Ore Mountains after the surrender of the Wehrmacht on May 8, 1945 , before they were handed over to the Soviet occupiers after 42 days .
During the first district reform in the GDR , the Amtshauptmannschaft Stollberg , which was renamed Landkreis Stollberg in 1939, was dissolved in 1950. The city of Stollberg came to the Chemnitz district. As a result of the second district reform in the GDR, the city of Stollberg became the district town of the newly formed Stollberg district in the Chemnitz district (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). The miners' hospital was set up in the former Bahnerschen stocking factory as early as 1949. In 1953, Stollberg received a dam on the Lower Querenbach . Between 1955 and the 1980s, the city's various new development areas were built. On January 1, 1952, the previously independent community of Mitteldorf was incorporated. Oberdorf and Gablenz followed on January 1, 1974 .
From 1990 Stollberg was the capital of the Saxon district of Stollberg . When it was dissolved in 2008, the city of Stollberg was awarded the title of large district town to compensate for the loss of the district seat . Since then the city has belonged to the Erzgebirge district. In 1993 the residential area "Zu den Teichen" and the industrial area "Stollberger Tor" were built on the A 72. The opening of the A72 junction "Stollberg West" in 2005 and the bypass road of the B180 contribute to a better connection to the industrial area . In 2002 the “Stollberg (Sachs)” station with the two railway lines that touch it was integrated into the “ Chemnitzer Modell ” local transport concept .
After the correctional facility at Schloss Hoheneck was closed in 2001, the renovation and conversion of the buildings has been carried out since 2014 so that they can be used separately as a memorial, leisure center and meeting place with overnight accommodation. As a first step, a memorial with the original cell wing was set up in the south wing in 2015, where guided tours also take place. In 2017, the interactive learning and adventure world "Phenomenia" moved into the north wing of Hoheneck Castle, which gradually transforms the former penal institution into a cultural center. After the reconstruction of the palace, a memorial is to be set up in the west wing for the historical classification of the SED injustice and to honor the victims. The theater education center of the Erzgebirge district “Burattino” will also have its seat in the west wing of the castle. The organ in the chapel hall of the west wing is also being renovated. After the renovation, the " Abora Science Center" is moving to the top floor of the south wing , where the ABORA reed boat expeditions across the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic are presented in an interactive exhibition. In the new building area on Albrecht-Dürer-Strasse, the citizens' meeting center “das dürer” was opened in 2008. In 2012 the “Bürgergarten” was reopened in the city center, which means that the city of Stollberg now has a wide range of cultural activities.
