Tiefenbrunn is a district of the municipality of Eichigt in the Vogtlandkreis in Saxony .
Location and geography
The village is located near the border with Bavaria and the Czech Republic in the Saxon Vogtland . The Tiefenbrunn corridor has a direct share in the triangle formed by Bavaria, Saxony and Bohemia.
The local area lies in higher terrain, flattened south-facing, near the watershed of the Weißer Elster and Saale , which only unite at Halle (Saale) . The village and the associated districts drain into Bavaria via the Regnitz into the Saale. In the north of Tiefenbrunn there is a larger contiguous forest area in which the Bubenstock and Platzerberg elevations are located. Tiefenbrunn with scattered districts is characterized by fields, meadows and wooded parcels. In the west near the former district of Wieden, the land is used entirely as arable land.

history
The village of Tiefenbrunn was probably created in the 14th century. The name can probably be traced back to a deep bog well that could have been there. When it was first mentioned in documents in 1405, however, the place was already desolate , as it was called "a wustung czu Tyfenbrune". Probably rebuilt and referred to as "Tieffenbrun" in 1413, the place with its 8 courtyards is said to have been completely destroyed a little later in the Hussite War. In 1487, still listed as a desert, Tiefenbrunn was rebuilt in the 16th century.
The place was parish after Posseck . According to a vision protocol from 1599, its residents belonged partly to the Posseck manor and partly to the Sachsgrün manor . In 1791 the Ebmath manor also had a share. The district of Unterwieden, however, belonged to the Bavarian Gattendorf for a long time . According to legend, a Fraulein von Reitzenstein from the house of the manor owners von Posseck is said to have lost her way in the then still dense forest at Wieden. Only when she heard the little bell from the church in Gattendorf did she find her way again. Out of gratitude she donated several lands and forests around Wieden to the Gattendorf Church as a fief . In the miles sheets of Saxony , produced from 1780 to 1806, large parts of the area up to the immediate locality of Tiefenbrunn are marked as "royal Bavarian" possessions. Tiefenbrunn belonged to the Electoral Saxon office of Voigtsberg until the 19th century .
After the Second World War, life in the districts of Tiefenbrunn became increasingly difficult due to the proximity to the inner-German border . As early as the 1950s, the GDR State Security carried out individual forced resettlements against the residents ( Vergeziefer campaign ). By 1974, together with the border troops of the GDR, the districts of Wieden with Oberwieden and Unterwieden, Hammerleithen, Träben im Tale and Feilehaus were completely depopulated and destroyed. Tiefenbrunn itself could only be reached with a pass until 1989.
On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipality of Pabstleithen was incorporated.
In 1994 Tiefenbrunn was incorporated into Eichigt. The border installations were largely eliminated and along the border was protected area three borders as part of the conservation project Green Belt Germany established.
