Forest dominium Sankt Joachimsthal
The kk Montanwalddominium Sankt Joachimsthal was a mining rule in the Elbogen district in Bohemia , which was subordinate to the kk Bergoberamt Sankt Joachimsthal .
location
The dominium was in the northern part of the Elbogen district. It bordered the Saxon office of Schwarzenberg to the north, the royal mountain town of Gottesgab to the southeast, the Dominions Joachimsthal and Schlackenwerth to the south and the Neudek rule to the west .
history
The area belonged to the Schwarzenberg rule until 1546 . After the Schmalkaldic War , the southern part fell to the Bohemian Crown in 1547. In 1548, Emperor Ferdinand I issued the Mountain Regulations. He put the formerly independent mining offices of Platten and Gottesgab under the administration of the Begoberamt St. Joachimsthal. From then on it formed the royal mining and forest domination of St. Joachimsthal. Platten became a royal mountain town.
The mountain freedom granted the residents exemption from taxes and compulsory labor . The administrative administration and jurisdiction took place from St. Joachimsthal, with the Mining, Hütten- and Montanwaldamt and Bergphysikat. After the Thirty Years' War , the Counter-Reformation exiled a large part of the population to Electoral Saxony . The depressed mining industry lost more and more of its importance and those left behind became impoverished.
Since 1840 the Dominium had its own administrator. The population was in 1847 2095 people, including 11 Protestant families. In the middle of the 19th century the trade was mainly lace making, some mining on tin, cobalt, vitriol, iron and silver. In addition, cattle breeding, logging and other forest work were carried out. Larger industrial companies were two blue paint factories in Breitenbach with 6 workers and in young stallion with 15 workers. In Halbenmeil there were two chemical plants with a total of 8 workers.
