history
The rule Wiesenburg was a territory in the Saxon Ore Mountains that arose in the middle of the 12th century . From its foundation in 1157 to 1394/98, the area was owned by the Reussians of Greiz , and thus belonged to the governors. After that it belonged to the Margrave of Meissen . By lending it to the nobles von der Planitz in 1405, it was associated with the Zwickau office . After the division of Leipzig in 1485, the rule belonged to the Ernestine line of the Wettins . Since the defeat of the Ernestines in the Schmalkaldic War , it came into possession of the Albertines like the Zwickau office in 1547 . From 1591 the rule was subordinate to the council of the city of Zwickau before it was re-established as an electoral office in 1618 . From 1663 to 1724 the office of Wiesenburg was lent to the dukes of Holstein-Sonderburg . In 1843 the Kirchberg Office was formed from the territory and the northern part of the Schwarzenberg Office . After the end of the Saxon constitution of offices in 1856, the Kirchberg court office was formed from the Wiesenburg locations of the Kirchberg office. The places Lindenau and Zschorlau came like the other places around Schneeberg to the court office Schneeberg .
Origin of name
One source states that Wiesenburg Castle was originally called "Weißenberg", as a counterpart to the Schwarzenberg lordship with the castle of the same name. It was probably even the starting point of the Schwarzenberg rule.
