The Ziegenleithe is a district of the Schönheide community ( Erzgebirge district ) in the westernmost tip of the Saxon Ore Mountains , with around 15 buildings.

Geographical location

The Ziegenleithe is located in the lower part of Schönheide east of the town center in the valley of the Filzbach. Johann Traugott Lindner describes the Ziegenleithe as a "deep gorge". This should mean the cut in the valley of the Filzbach, on the slope of which the Ziegenleithe lies. According to the natural space map of Saxony , the area lies in the mesogeochore "Schönheider plateau" and belongs to the microgeochore "Schönheider Kuppengebiet".

Surname

The Ziegenleithe is registered in the Berlin copy of 1792 of the Aster miles sheets as “The Ziegenleithe ” [ see above !]. The alphabetical location directory of the Kingdom of Saxony from 1862 names the "Ziegelleithe" [see above!] A district and mentions in the Comments column that it belongs to Schönheide, but leaves the "Inhabited buildings" and "Inhabitants" columns empty.

The name Ziegenleithe is explained by the author Ernst Flath, who wrote a story by Schönheide, published around 1910, that on the Leite , a mountainside, goats were kept and looked after . It is also possible, however, that the first part of the word was created by the transformation of Seigern . The document on the sale of Schönheide to the Saxon Elector August by the family of the sovereign Balthasar Friedrich Edlen von der Planitz from 1563 mentions Seigerhütten, which are to be located at this point. The German dictionary of the Brothers Grimm sees the word meaning of Leite as a term derived from Old High German in "mountain slope". This word was still preserved in the Franconian language area. The German legal dictionary gives the meaning in mining in this sense: "the ore leading in a certain direction", but also "the discharge route for the ore". But it also contains the meaning "slope". The origin of the word cannot be clearly clarified. What speaks in favor of the term mountain slope or slope is that the terrain drops off steeply from the district of Webersberg to the Filzbachtal.

history

The Ziegenleithe did not belong to the areas of Schönheide for which Hufe was determined when the settlement began in 1537 , because the district of Webersberg was not one of them and from here the area slopes steeply to the Ziegenleithe, so that it could not be used as arable land. While the Vorderberg at 650  m above sea level. NHN is high, the Filzbach is the street goats Leithe at an altitude of around 560  meters above sea level. NHN . In the so-called Liberation Letter of March 20, 1549 Jul. , the founding document of Schönheide, of the sovereign Balthasar Friedrich Edler von der Planitz , the Ziegenleithe is not mentioned.

Copper mine

There was a mine on the Ziegenleithe. It already existed in 1563. When the then territorial lord of Schönheide, Balthasar Friedrich Edler von der Planitz, sold Schönheide to Elector August von Sachsen, the Schwarzenberg bailiff Hans Todt pointed out in his report of June 1563 about the inspection of the areas up for sale: “Bey der Schönheyde recently excited a Kupffer and hybrid mine.” In addition to von der Planitz, donors from Nuremberg and Schneeberg are also involved in this mine. However, due to a lack of sufficient capital, it is not very profitable, but could be more profitable with more financial and mining effort. Hans Todt does not give a name for the mine. Siegfried Sieber dates the beginning of mining to 1560. In the Dresden copy of the Meilenblatt 237 from 1792 you can find the indication “Kupferzeche” at the Ziegenleithe. In Schumann 's Lexicon of Saxony, published in 1833, it is said that the mine is “small”. Tin ore was also mined in this mine, there were also veins of the iron-barite formation, and there was also calcuranite. Johann Carl Freileben mentions this mine with the name “Neuer Seegen Gottes Stollen” in 1843. Albert Schiffner writes in his “Führer im Muldenthale” published around 1848 that the mine “the new blessing of God” is only “operated on copperfahlerz,” which is why a stamping mill was built in 1829 ”.

Siegfried Sieber reports that in Schönheide the mining of iron, copper and tin "came to a complete standstill" around 1800. Overall, no significant quantities of ore were mined either.

Cultural monument of the Ziegenleithe building 10

Remnants of the mine can still be found on the forest slope. Mineral seekers are still active there.

Cultural monuments

The mine mouth hole, which existed almost until the end of the 20th century, was declared a cultural monument by the Saxon State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and thus qualified: “Of importance in terms of mining technology and local history. Fortified tunnel entrance, granite round arch made of conically shaped bosses, integrated into a fortification wall ”. The state office indicates the dating “18. Century or older (mouth hole) ”. In the early 1990s, the community of Schönheide filled the tunnel mouth hole.

Also the residential building Ziegenleithe 10 with this description “Residential house (surrounding area, cottagers' property), surrounding area as a rare evidence of rural building forms in the place of building historical importance. Surrounding binding to the right of the door 2/2 yokes, plastered, block room massively replaced, new windows and doors, slate pitched roof, two standing dormers on the valley side, gable clad with sheet metal “is a cultural monument. The Saxon State Office for Monument Preservation dates the establishment to the middle of the 18th century.

Mills on the Filzbach

In the area of the water of the goat Leithe Filzbachs, which supplies a piece above the Schönheider Dorfbach be water was used for the operation of a grain mill, in the switch's miles sheet is designated 1792 as "perennials mill". It was later known as the "fisherman's mill". In the further course of the Filzbach, its water drove a sawmill until around 1900, known as the “Sägewerk Baumeister Unger”.
