Klingenthal

Klingenthal is a town in the Vogtland locale, in the Free State of Saxony, south-eastern Germany. It is arranged straightforwardly on the outskirt with the Czech Republic inverse the Czech town of Kraslice, 29 km southeast of Plauen, and 33 km northwest of Karlovy Vary. The Aschberg "ash mountain" towers over the town at 936 m. The amazingly stretched town, 10.5 km from start to finish, is encompassed by various woods of firs. The town is divided by the Dobra and Zwota waterways. These two streams join at the Czech-German fringe to shape the Svatava waterway, which thusly streams into the Ohre waterway at Sokolov.

In 1591, Sebastian Koppel built up a mallet factory close to the fringe to Bohemia on the banks of the Zwota so as to capitalize on the rich stores of iron metal and the area's immense supplies of wood, both for structure and charcoal creation. On 1 February 1602, there was the main archived notice of the "Hollhammer" in the neighboring town of Schoneck's congregation register. Around then, smithies, diggers and charcoal creators were living there. In 1628, the sledge plant burned to the ground and was just halfway remade. On 1 April 1992, Muhlleithen, a settlement on the north-western peak of the Aschberg, was fused.
