History


Halsbrücke was originally founded in 1349 as an estate named czu dem Halse, belonging to the Altzella monastery in Nossen. The name referred to a ridge on the bend of the river which was said to have a "neck"-like formation (German Hals). The area belonged to the city of Freiberg from the 16th century onwards.[3]

The bridge (German Brücke) was included in later variations of the municipality's name, namely czu der brucken am Hals (1441), an der Halßbrücken (1654), and Halßbrücke (1706).

While the municipality today stretches both sides of the river, Halsbrücke was formerly divided between two administrative regions. On the left bank of the Freiberger Mulde, the areas of Hals and Neu belonged to the city of Freiberg, while Sand and Grüneberg came under the jurisdiction of Meissen.[4]

Halsbrücke had no church of its own for most of its history, instead coming under the parish of Tuttendorf. The church of St. Lorenz am Schulberg was then constructed between 1985 and 1991, and opened in 1992. The municipality was serviced by a rail connection, namely the Freiberg-Halsbrücke line, from 1890 until the line's closure in 1995. The station still exists, unused.
