history

Struppen settlement arose around the turn of the 20th century in the southeast of the Struppen forest hooves . Landowners from Struppen had leased a total of 37 hectares to the Saxon Ministry of War between 1896 and 1904. The area of ​​today's settlement served as a parade ground for the occupation command of the Königstein Fortress three kilometers to the east . Struppen-Siedlung was founded in 1919/20. Before that there had been three manors and a brick factory.

From 1963, the development of the Königstein uranium ore deposit by means of a mine on Leupoldishainer Flur located one kilometer to the east meant a cut for the settlement . Since the mine could not be connected directly to the nearby Elbe Valley Railway due to the difference in altitude , the Rottwerndorf station on the Gottleubatal Railway was expanded to become the central material and ore loading station. The transport between the mine and the train station was carried out by a 4.4 km long cable car with 175 gondolas of 1 m³, built between 1965 and 1967, which cut the Struppen settlement from east to west. The cable car was in operation until the early 1980s and was dismantled from 1987 after ore with thousands of tons of uranium had been transported over it.

In 1981 a helicopter crash occurred in Struppen-Siedlung, in which there were no fatalities. After the fall of the Wall, the built-up area of ​​the district expanded through a new building area. The municipality granted Struppen-Siedlung the status of a locality, so that it has one of the two local councils in the municipality of Struppen in addition to Thürmsdorf .
