About Hohenstein Ernstthal

Hohenstein-Ernstthal is a town in the Zwickau provincial district, Free State of Saxony, Germany. The towns of Hohenstein and Ernstthal were joined in 1898, and the town is either known by its hyphenated structure, or just called Hohenstein. The town developed in the 15th century after silver mines were built up close-by. Ernstthal was named out of appreciation for August Ernst von Schoenburg. Physicist Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert and innovator Christoph Gottlieb Schroter were born in Hohenstein. The place of his introduction to the world is an exhibition hall. Besides, Hohenstein-Ernstthal is particularly popular for the Sachsenring dashing circuit. Starting at 2013 Lars Kluge is the civic chairman of Hohenstein-Ernstthal.

In the 15th century, the town of Hohenstein was set up after silver was found and mined there. In 1680 a few people from Hohenstein moved to the backwoods close to the town to get away from the threats of the plague. That settlement was later named Ernstthal Ernst valley after August Ernst von Schonburg. Both town joined in 1898, accordingly getting to be Hohenstein-Ernstthal. During 19th and 20th century silver mining turned out to be less productive, so the material business turned out to be increasingly significant. In 1999, Wustenbrand turned into a piece of Hohenstein-Ernstthal.
