history

According to tradition, the German place name can be traced back to medieval gold panning. The town's brief heyday dates back to the 18th century, when the glass master Michael Fuchs first ran a glassworks in 1736 and, after his death in 1767, the master glazier Johann Kaspar Lenk, which mainly produced sheet glass. During the lifetime of Johann Kaspar Lenk, the latter had leased the five glassworks belonging to the Tachau rulership in the Grenzwald, including the later built glassworks in Neu-Windischgrätzhütte . The company fed up to 11 glass workers and up to 33 auxiliary workers and was closed in 1894.

After the abolition of patrimonial Goldbach formed from 1850 a district of the community Paulusbrunn in the judicial district of Tachau and Pilsener Kreis. Since 1868 the place belonged to the Tachau district . At the beginning of the 20th century, the village belonging to Paulusbrunn only consisted of a few houses. The popular name of the place goes back to the first owner of the hut, he was called "Obere Fuchshütte". (The Fichtenbach near Taus was the "Untere Fuchshütte")

Only a few remains of buildings still remind of the place.
