history
The place, whose name comes from a tunnel about 850 meters high , was first mentioned in 1590. However, the settlement took place much earlier and was, as elsewhere in the area, caused by mining. In the 16th century, the Drei Junge Zinnzeche , “Auf dem bescherten Glück” and the “St. Anna Zinnzeche ”by Count Lorenz Schlick on tin . Several soap fiefs on the Schmelzbach and Voigtsgrüner Bach are also known. However, the climax was reached as early as 1580. There was a stamp mill on the Pochwiese , where the tin ore was processed on site. Melting took place in the stately smelter in Neudek. On the Schwedenberg there was extensive mining for red iron ore in the stately St. Katharina colliery until 1860 .
Due to the Munich Agreement , the place belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Neudek in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Empire . After the Second World War , a large part of the German population was expelled . The low point of demographic development was in 1991 when there was only one permanent resident here. Was divided the formerly independent village community Hohenstollen in the vineyard Höhlberg, Sweden mountain and Traußnitzberg.
