Schnorr also put the ironworks in today's Auerhammer district, which had been severely damaged by the Thirty Years' War and which he had bought together with Zacharias Schöppel in 1644, back into operation.
On a trip to the Leipzig trade fair in 1648, he was abducted by robber soldiers to Russia and sold to the tsar for a high ransom. Schnorr worked as a mining expert and supervisor in the mines of the Urals for 16 years before he managed to escape to Vienna via Turkey. However, he never saw the Erzgebirge again. He died on his journey home.
Veit Hans Schnorr the Younger (1644-1715) was one of the most important personalities in the mining industry of the Erzgebirge.
He introduced new production techniques to the hammer and ironworks of the Erzgebirge, which even achieved a European monopoly in tinplate production, particularly in the second half of the 17th century. Schnorr created, among other things, the "Erzgebirgische Blechkompanie", a kind of group that regulated the sale of tinplate and blackplate from the Erzgebirge hammer mills. He had the hammer mill in Aue further expanded and earned merit for the Niederpfannenstiel blue paint works. He is credited with the discovery of the white earth, kaolin. The white earth mine on the outskirts of the town supplied the raw material for the Meissen porcelain manufactory for 150 years.
He had Carolsfeld built on "wild roots". The emperor ennobled him for this. He was now allowed to call himself Veit Hans Schnorr von Carolsfeld.
Schnorr made a handsome fortune, making him one of the richest men in the Erzgebirge.
The desirable men's room
Salon Lotter
The Salon Lotter is small but nice. Here you can hold undisturbed and individual celebrations, meetings or conferences for up to 14 people.
The room is decorated in a youthful style and is crowned by a kilim from 1900.
Melchior Lotter was born in Aue around 1470. His father came from Nuremberg. He may have been attracted to the Ore Mountains by the flourishing silver mining industry in Schneeberg. From 1491 until his death on February 1, 1549, Melchior Lotter worked as a book printer in Leipzig. Here he was in contact with Luther, who visited the trading metropolis several times. The visit to Leipzig in June 1519, which led to the public debate with Luther's opponents at Pleißenburg Castle, has gone down in history as the most significant. During this visit, Luther and his friends stayed at Melchior Lotter's house.
In 1517, Luther's 95 theses were printed in a large poster from Lotter's print shop. Melchior Lotter also published the first edition of Luther's translation of the New Testament in 1522. It became known as the "September Testament". It should also be mentioned that Lotter was the first German printer to use Antiqua, the upright Latin typeface, in 1511. Lotter's sons followed in their father's footsteps. They were also printers and worked in Wittenberg, where they printed the writings of Luther and Melanchthon.
Melchior Lotter, who was a promoter of the Reformation with his art of printing, must be considered an important son of the town of Aue.
