Scheibenberg Mountain Inn

Guesthouse on the summit of the Scheibenberg, price-performance ratio completely okay, a worthwhile excursion destination

If you want to stay directly on the Scheibenberg summit, you can rent one of the 13 rooms in the mountain inn. The restaurant with its rustic beer garden in front of the entrance is also a great place to take a break. The food was delicious, and there is also something on the menu for vegetarians.

Scheibenberg Citizens' and Mountain Inn
In the course of the construction of the Carola Tower, the first mountain inn was opened in 1892. The initially modest building was rebuilt and expanded several times in the following decades. The current building was built in 1992/93 as part of a comprehensive modernization. After the first mining work on the Scheibenberg, the mining master, Michael Zechendorfer, announced on May 4, 1522 on behalf of the landowners Wolf and Ernst von Schönburg that farmsteads would be awarded to those willing to mine. On May 20, 1522, the sovereign Duke Georg granted the Scheibenberg miners' association the first privileges at the request of Ernst von Schönburg. At the same time, he decreed that the Annaberg mining regulations should be applied in Scheibenberg and that he would not waive the tithe. On May 31, 1522, Elector Friedrich and his brother Johann granted the settlement town rights - a new town - and granted it extensive freedoms. This document also shows that no silver had yet been found on the Scheibenberg. In the next few years, the town was built up with a town hall, church and brewery. A fire in 1529 destroyed large parts of the town. The Reformation was introduced in 1539, as an inscription on the back of the Scheibenberg altar tells us. At the beginning of May 1559, Scheibenberg and the entire Upper Forest part of the County of Hartenstein came into the possession of the Electorate of Saxony and was placed under the Crottendorf Office. At the end of the 16th century, mining gradually came to a halt. Between 1530 and 1767, the town had its own mining office, which then existed until 1847 as a sub-mining office of the Annaberg mining office.[2] In 1632, Scheibenberg citizens also tried to defend the Wiesenthal Pass against the invasion of the general Heinrich von Holk. During the entire Thirty Years' War, Scheibenberg suffered from looting and raids, which Pastor Christian Lehmann impressively reports in his war chronicle.
