Southwest of Lauta lies the high Dreibrüderhöhe, southeast of the village is the high Lautaer Höhe.Until the opening of the Marienberg ring road in 2007 the B 174 federal road from Chemnitz to Reitzenhain passed through the village. Since then it has run past Lauta to the north and east. There is a road to Lauterbach, the ''Kreisstraße'' 8131. History Lauta was first mentioned in 1434 as ''die Lute''. Mining started in 1523 with ''Bauernzeche'' pit on the ore vein '' Bauer Morgengang''. Following the Protestant Reformation Lauta became part of Lauterbach parish in 1539, and on 1 October 1875 it became part of Marienberg parish. By way of reciprocation, some mine buildings near Rittersberg and two mine buildings which used to belong to Niederlauterstein, together with 27 inhab ...

Former Municipalities In Saxony
A former is an object, such as a template, gauge or cutting die, which is used to form something such as a boat's hull. Typically, a former gives shape to a structure that may have complex curvature. A former may become an integral part of the finished structure, as in an aircraft fuselage, or it may be removable, being using in the construction process and then discarded or re-used. Aircraft formers Formers are used in the construction of aircraft fuselage, of which a typical fuselage has a series from the nose to the empennage, typically perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. The primary purpose of formers is to establish the shape of the fuselage and reduce the column length of stringers to prevent instability. Formers are typically attached to longerons, which support the skin of the aircraft. The "former-and-longeron" technique (also called stations and stringers) was adopted from boat construction, and was typical of light aircraft built until the ad ...

Hufe
An oxgang or bovate ( ang, oxangang; da, oxgang; gd, damh-imir; lat-med, bovāta) is an old land measurement formerly used in Scotland and England as early as the 16th century sometimes referred to as an oxgait. It averaged around 20 English acres, but was based on land fertility and cultivation, and so could be as low as 15. An oxgang is also known as a ''bovate'', from ''bovāta'', a Medieval Latinisation of the word, derived from the Latin '' bōs'', meaning "ox, bullock or cow". Oxen, through the Scottish Gaelic word ''damh'' or ''dabh'', also provided the root of the land measurement ' daugh'. Skene in ''Celtic Scotland'' says: : "in the eastern district there is a uniform system of land denomination consisting of ' dabhachs', ' ploughgates' and 'oxgangs', each 'dabhach' consisting of four 'ploughgates' and each 'ploughgate' containing eight 'oxgangs'. :"As soon as we cross the great chain of mountains Grampian Mountains] separating the North Sea, eastern from the Atlan ...

Inwohner
Inwohner is a German expression for lower-ranking inhabitants of a populated place. The exact significance varies regionally, but the word generally refers to lodgers without real property. In the Middle Ages and the early modern period in places such as in southern Germany, in Saxony and in Austria the word meant inhabitants of a town or a village who generally did not possess real property and therefore did not enjoy full civic rights. Of similar meaning are the expressions ''Inste'' and ''Instleute'' who were also lodgers in rural communities. Likewise, similarities exist to the expression ''Einlieger'' for day labourers without real property who rented living room from farmers. An ''Inwohner'' must be distinguished from a member of the household who was either related to the home owner or was a direct employee (e.g. a maid or a servant) of the latter. Regional variations In Mecklenburg, inhabitants of towns were called '' nwohner'' or ''Einlieger'' if they did not possess th ...

Hufner
A ''Hufner'', also spelt ''Hüfner'', was a farmer in medieval Europe who managed one or more oxgangs (German: ''Hufe'') as his own property. The actual names of these members of the farming community varied from region to region. In the Low Saxon dialect region the term ''Hovener'' or ''Hofener'' was used, in the Central German region they were mainly known as ''Hufner'' or ''Hüfner'' and in the Upper German region as ''Huber''. In many areas, completely different names were also used, such as ''Ackermann'', ''Pferdner'' or, in the Upper Saxon region, even ''besessene Mann'' or ''besessene Männer''. (Note: ''Pferdner'' actually refers to a similar type of farmer who owned and managed one or more horse teams (''pferdegespannen''). This may be regional, as the name appears more rarely than the variants of ''Hufner''.) The ''Hufner'' was a full member of the community of farmers; he had a say in that community and was allowed to use the commons. In the social hierarchy of the vil ...

Horse Gin
A horse mill is a mill, sometimes used in conjunction with a watermill or windmill, that uses a horse engine as the power source. Any milling process can be powered in this way, but the most frequent use of animal power in horse mills was for grinding grain and pumping water. Other animal engines for powering mills are powered by dogs, donkeys, oxen or camels. Treadwheels are engines powered by humans. History The donkey or horse-driven rotary mill was a 4th-century BC Carthaginian invention, with possible origins in Carthaginian Sardinia. Two Carthaginian animal-powered millstones built using red lava from Carthaginian-controlled Mulargia in Sardinia were found in a 375–350 BC shipwreck near Mallorca. The mill spread to Sicily, arriving in Italy in the 3rd century BC. The Carthaginians used hand-powered rotary mills as early as the 6th century BC, and the use of the rotary mill in Spanish lead and silver mines may have contributed to the rise of the larger, animal-powered mill. ...

Lautite
Lautite is a rare mineral belonging to the class of sulfides and sulfosalts with the general formula CuAsS. It is orthorhombic and is known to form up to 2.3 cm long prismatic or flat crystals. It is also found as grains or masses. First identified by Friedrich August Frenzel in 1880 in the Rudolphschacht mine near Lauta in Saxony, it was named after its type locality.Frenzel, A. (1880). XIX. Mineralogisches. Zeitschrift für Kristallographie, Mineralogie und Petrographie, 3(6), 504-516. Lautite is formed in veins under hydrothermal conditions at medium temperatures. Depending on the locality it is found accompanied by arsenic, tennantite, proustite, chalcopyrite, galenite, and baryte (in the type locality); by kutinaite and paxite (in Nieder-Beerbach); or by arsenic, bismuth, tennantite, loellingite, rammelsbergite, proustite, and quartz (in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines). Aside from the type locality, the mineral is found in other places in the Ore Mountains, in Sankt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Friedrich August Frenzel
Friedrich August Frenzel (24 May 1842 – 27 August 1902) was a German mineralogist. He was born in a miner's family in Freiberg, Saxony. In 1861 he was awarded a scholarship which enabled him to study mineralogy at Bergakademie Freiberg. There he attracted the attention of August Breithaupt who asked him to help with organising the mineralogical collections of the academy and with testing mineral samples, and to assist in the professor's mineralogical research. In 1865 Frenzel finished his studies and was awarded the title of a mining inspector. From then on, he worked for 25 years as a chemist in the metallurgical laboratories. He also lectured at the Bergakademie. One of his best known works is the mineralogical encyclopedia for the Kingdom of Saxony (''Mineralogisches Lexicon Für Das Königreich Sachsen''), which contains descriptions of 723 minerals found in Saxony, information on their physical properties and chemical compositions, and descriptions of the corresponding loc ...
