The area at the confluence of red and white hollow to Zwickauer Mulde was until around 1590 thick jungle. The Saxon Elector Johann Friedrich The Great Minor acquired the Schöneck forests and the Kottenheide in 1533. Between 1563 and 1582, Elector August I von Saxony expanded the electoral forest property through acquisitions of those of Planitz and von Ellefeld. From 1579 the construction of raft trenches took place in order to be able to better market the wood. [2]

From 1586 to 1592, the first buildings were demonstrably built in the area of ​​today’s Muldenberg. At the beginning of the 17th century, the forest workers and raftsmen settled in the Electoral Saxon State Forest of the Upper Vogtland trough (also as as Hollow designated). It was as an official village in the Royal Saxon Office of Voigtsberg. [3]

In 1792 on the private forest of the Baron Trützschler von Falkenstein on the right of the Mulde, a second settlement with the name was called Muldenberg Founded, which was subordinate to the basic rule of the Dorfstadt knight. Until 1856, Muldenberg belonged to the course Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Plauen. [4] After 1856, the area belonged to the Schöneck court office and from 1875 to the Auerbach official team. [5] Around 1834 Mulde belonged to other forest settlements in the area, including Saubachhäuser, Tannenhaus and Kottenheide to the Schönecker Waldgemeinde, after 1875 Muldenberg was also included.

After the Remnitz – Aue -Adorf railway line had led through the valley of the Upper Zwickau Mulde since 1875, Mulde and Muldenberg also received a station in 1892 with the opening of the Falkenstein – Muldenberg railway line. The Muldenberg train station, located on both routes, was built north of the settlements in the Trützschlischer area.

Around 1900 the rural community “Mulde” consisted of the districts of Mulde, Muldenberg, Saubachhäuser and Tannenhaus. In 1906 the Kottenheide, south of Mulde, was surrounded by Zwota to Mulde. [6] Due to the favorable location in the source area of ​​the Zwickau Mulde, i. H. Between 1920 and 1925 south of the village, the Muldenberg drinking water dam was created at the confluence of red and white Mulde with the Saubach to Zwickauer Mulde.

In 1934 there was a renaming of the “Mulde” community in “Muldenberg”. In 1939 the reorganization of the southeast of Schöneck/Vogtl. Lying Muldenberg municipal part of Tannenhaus to Schöneck/Vogtl. [7] The municipal part of Saubachhäuser was no longer mentioned at that time. [8] The group of houses was located in the forest immediately south of the Sautiche. [9] From May 6, 1945 to June there was an unpaved prisoner of war. The prisoners were also used for ammunition recovery. On May 13, 1945, an explosion occurred in the sinking of ammunition in the Muldenberg dam, in which the bulky wall was badly damaged and 13 people died. The dam was rebuilt between 1946 and 1950.

Due to the second district reform in the GDR, the municipality of Muldenberg in 1952 came to the Klingenthal district in the Chemnitz district (renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953), which was continued as a Saxon district of Klingenthal from 1990 and opened in the Vogtlandkreis in 1996. In 1956 the Kottenheide district was reverse to Schöneck/Vogtl. [ten] Until then, Muldenberg was one of the largest communities in Saxony on the area, whose area ranged from Hammerbrücke to Klingenthal and the Schneckenstein. However, 90% of the area was forested.

After a citizens’ survey carried out at the beginning of the 1990s, the majority of the residents voted for an incorporation into the Grünbach community, four kilometers away and against the neighboring town of Hammerbrücke, just two kilometers away. Muldenberg has been a district of the Grünbach municipality since March 1, 1994. [11]

Since the construction of the Eibenstock dam, the Muldenberg train station has increasingly lost its importance as a separation station, since the railway line Chemnitz – Aue – Adorf was interrupted in 1975 between Wolfsgrün and the Schönheide Ost station in Schönheiderhammer. In 1983 the travel was stopped to Schönheide Ost, in 1995 also freight traffic. After the expansion of the soft, the West Saxon Eisenbahnen e.V. [twelfth] After the ZVV train station was unsubscribed as a stop in 2014, the house platform and the crossing traveler were dismantled. [13] Since then, Muldenberg has only had the “Muldenberg Flossplatz” stop in the 2001, which is located centrally in the village.

The Bahnhof Muldenberg was opened in 1892 at the confluence of the Falkenstein – Muldenberg railway line into the Chemnitz – Aue -Adorf railway line. In 2014, the train station, which was approximately one kilometer north of the town, was canceled by the Public Course Vogtland Association as a stop. Since 2001 there has been centrally in the place of the Muldenberg Flossplatz stop , The Vogtlandbahn towards Klingenthal and Auerbach/Vogtl. is operated.

Muldenberg is served by two clock bus lines of the Vogtland Transport Association: Line 22 runs to Schöneck and Morgenröthe-Rautenkranz, while line 23 leads to Falkenstein, Grünbach and Schneckenstein. Both lines also reach Hammerbrücke and Tannenbergsthal.

For better transport of the wood from the Electoral Saxon forests of the Upper Vogtland into the Halle/Leipzig area, the laying of raft trenches began from 1579. Around Muldenberg, u. the “upper raft moat” (from 1579), [14] The “Kielfloßgraben” to the Kiel near Mühlleithen (1632) and the “lower raft ditch”. [15] The latter had a gradient of six meters with a length of 7.15 kilometers. At the decision of the municipal council of Muldenberg, a section of the lower raft trench was made flowable again in 1991 and declared a technical monument. His dam is completely preserved. Today the trench only leads from the compensation pool of the Muldenberg dam to the former sawmill in Leonhardt in Hammerbrücke.

Muldenberg achieved a degree of awareness with the revival of the Scheitholz raferei, for which the repaired lower river ditch is used as a shovel line. The “Vogtländische Flößerverein Muldenberg e.V.”, founded in 1993, ” leads to the maintenance of customs on Ascension weekends every year. Furthermore, the association also operates cooling, whose Meiler can be visited. [16]
