The forest district of Oberwald historically belonged as a forest district to the Schönburg dominion of Waldenburg .
During mining exploration work, several tunnels were probably excavated in the Oberwald from the 17th century . The main search was for iron ore; was found serpentinite . One of these tunnels is the Karl May Cave , which dates back to 1620 as a mining facility. Already in the 18th century it was used by robber gangs as a hideout and called the robber cave. In 1869, when the 27-year-old Karl May (1842–1912) came into conflict with the law on several occasions because of theft , he used this cave as a hideout and hiding place for his belongings.
After an administrative reform was carried out in the area of the Schönburg recession in 1878, the Waldenburger Oberwald came in 1880 as a manor district under the administration of a district forester as head of the newly established royal Saxon administration of Glauchau . The serpentinite quarry in Oberwald was opened up in 1906 by workers from the Zöblitz serpentine quarries . The mined material was taken to Zöblitz by train , as the processing industry was based there. It was used for the production of arts and crafts and as an architectural design element, such as the altar feet of the Hohenstein Church of St. Christophori. In the 1930s, the material was increasingly needed for structural purposes, including the construction of the Reichsautobahn between Dresden and Meerane , now the A4 federal motorway . From 1945 mining was reduced and in 1972 it was stopped entirely.
After the Free State of Saxony was proclaimed in 1918, the independent manor districts were dissolved. The Oberwald manor district was assigned to the Kuhschnappel community around 1922 . As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the Waldenburger Oberwald came to the Hohenstein-Ernstthal district in the Chemnitz district as part of the Kuhschnappel community in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). In the same year took place in the corridors of the western neighboring town Upper Callnberg the digestion of nickel mining Callenberg South I , which, after the closure of 1,977 in 1982 as a reservoir Oberwald opened. The Karl May stage and the summer toboggan run of the leisure area are located in the corridors of the Waldenburger Oberwald.
On April 1, 1996, the Waldenburger Oberwald became part of this municipality with the incorporation of Kuhschnappel into St. Egidien. The reclassification of the Waldenburger Oberwald district to Hohenstein-Ernstthal took place on January 1, 1999.
Since July 10, 2002, the Waldenburger Oberwald has been part of the "Pfaffenberg-Oberwald" nature reserve.
