The pond house is a group of houses that is located in the valley of the upper Freiberg Mulde about three kilometers east of Holzhau near the border with the Czech Republic .

history

Freiberger Mulde at the height of the hamlet of Teichhaus

The history of the small settlement can be seen in connection with the wood requirements of the mining and metallurgical industry ( pit wood and charcoal for smelting ) in the Freiberg district . Since at least 1438, wood has been rafted to Freiberg and Brand-Erbisdorf on the Freiberg Mulde . After the forests in the vicinity of the two mining sites had been cleared, the logging was gradually shifted along the Freiberg Mulde upstream to the ridge of the Eastern Ore Mountains .

On July 8, 1534, Duke Georg von Sachsen bought the forest area from Caspar von Purschenstein above the later double village of Rechenberg-Bienenmühle for wood production. A little later, the Holtz Hawe (Holzhau) settlement was built on Rodeland .

In 1549 it is reported that the wood felled not far from the Bohemian border was drained from the so-called Old or Black Pond in the valley of the Hirschbach on the Freiberg Mulde.

To secure the water supply for the rafting business , several ponds were created along the hollow . The first pond, about 1 hectare in size, was not far from the Bohemian border and was known as the border pond or border raft pond . The Teichhaus estate was built on him in 1582 as the home of the raft master. It was also used by loggers and wagoners as a retreat. At first it was a single building with a small annex on the north side, which was located directly above the small Steinbach that flowed past the pond house.

In 1604, due to ongoing border disputes between Saxony and Bohemia , a border regulation regarding the so-called piece of war , whereby the Hirschbach was defined as the border line, as the border still runs today. As a result of the new demarcation, the pond house lost land to the Kingdom of Bohemia through the border fence on the eastern dyke of the raft pond. Originally the field plots of the pond dam reached as far as the grinding mill in the Bohemian Vltava , which the Mühlweg still reminds of today .

The Pond House suffered in 1632 in the Thirty Years' War caused considerable damage, 3000 trestle burned raft wood.

At the end of the 18th century the estate already comprised three buildings. The area of ​​the pond house initially belonged to Hermsdorf . In 1791 the pond house belonged to the Frauenstein office . In 1875 the administration was with the Amtshauptmannschaft Dippoldiswalde . At that time there was already a small group of houses here, which was parish to Hermsdorf.

From ancient times, two streets led past the pond house, one coming from the Bohemian Teplitz and the second from Moldau, along the foot of the Brandberg. The road over the pond dam was used to transport wood.

From 1826 until at least 1832 the camera survey was carried out with several longer interruptions with the recording of the Freiberg Mulde from the Teichhaus on the Saxon-Bohemian border to its confluence with the Zwickauer Mulde by Wilhelm Gotthelf Lohrmann .

The rafting industry came to a complete standstill in 1884 when the newly built Nossen – Moldau railway with its connection to Bohemia went into operation. Now the railway took over the transport of wood and coal from the Bohemian forests to the Freiberg area. In the course of the railway construction, the border pond had to give way to the new railway embankment. A new valley road from Bienenmühle via Rechenberg to Holzhau was built next to the railway embankment. Between 1890 and 1898 a new inn called the Teichhaus was built on this Muldentalstrasse by the previous owner Göhler. The old, partly already dilapidated pond house was acquired by the sports club "Turnlust" from Dresden in 1926 and converted into a holiday accommodation which, in contrast to the pond house on Talstrasse, was called the Altes Teichhaus .

The Teichhaus stop went into operation on September 29, 1963 when tourism in the Eastern Ore Mountains took off again after the Second World War. Residents from Teichhaus and Holzhau built the platform and the access routes as part of the national construction project . Rail traffic between Holzhau and Hermsdorf-Rehefeld was stopped on February 7, 1972 after cross-border traffic had been idle since 1945. The railway bridge over the road to Moldava at the pond house was blown up in 1973 for the DEFA feature film “ Shots in Marienbad ”.

In 1949 the new pond house was moved to Holzhau and in 1952 it became part of the newly formed Brand-Erbisdorf district . In 1960 the owner Rudi Göhler sold the pond house to VEB Vakutronik Dresden. This company expanded the building and used it as a holiday home. After the operation in the VEB Robotron-Meßelektronik Dresden was up, the pond house was used as the company holiday home "Otto Schön". The use as a company holiday home ended in 1990. The building is now used as a forest inn and guesthouse.
