history

At the current location of the group of houses, a settlement under the name daz dorf Sletyn or durff Sletin is first documented for 1323 . The corridors reached from Großrückerswalde in the west to the confluence of the Roten in the Schwarze Pockau in the east and completely enclosed the area of ​​the mining town of Marienberg, founded in 1521 . For the first time it is recorded as a desert for 1484 . In 1519 the first silver deposits were discovered in Hüttengrund , whereupon Elector Friedrich the Wise released the corridors of the desert Slettenn for settlement for miners in the same year.

A glassworks was operated in the corridors of the first settlement . The earliest known reference to this dates from a document from 1386 in which the glass hut is listed next to the places Großrückerswalde, Mildenau and Jöhstadt . Fragments of glass harbors were found near the Rätzteich south of Gelobtland , which suggest an early hiker's hut . Dated December 3, 1486, Barthol Preußler was enfeoffed with the glassworks mentioned in 1386 by the Wolkenstein bailiff.

The group of houses was placed under the jurisdiction of the city in 1533. The area that was repopulated after 1519 - in 1521 the place is called zue Schletten - is mentioned by Albert Schiffner in the "Handbook of Geography, Statistics and Topography of the Kingdom of Saxony" 1839 a. a .:

"[...] stretches up the forest to Rückerwalde, but comes up with the Schlettenmühle on Prager Strasse, has little field, and mostly does mining and lace making ."

Furthermore, Schiffner names 11 Hufen Land and 71 inhabitants for the year 1837  , in 1875 there are 132 inhabitants.

Wüstenschlette has been part of the town of Marienberg since 1996 , previously it was a district.
