history

Arnsnesta village church

Arnsnesta was first mentioned in a document in Sunnunwalde et Arnsneste in 1288 , in 1298 a Theodericus junior de Arnisnest is mentioned, then in 1348, Botho von Tourgaw (von Torgau) is the landlord. 1376-1387 the village is Arnesneste, 1550 Artznest . The name comes from the Germanic Arn , in German eagle, it can probably be interpreted as an eagle's nest .

The Lords of Torgau from the Wettin family built a moated castle on the then meandering Black Elster. At the same time, a Botho von Torgau built a castle on the upper Elbe in Bohemia that had well-fortified moats. This place was also named after the Arn Arnau , the Czech name is Hostinné .

Until 1815 the place belonged to the office of Annaburg . In 1550, 20 “possessed men” lived there, four of whom were coaches with a judge and 16 gardeners who were directly subordinate to the Lochau office. The town hall bordered with the Annaburger Heide on Premsendorf, Borken and Bernsdorf.

The Elstermühle , which was subordinate to the office and operated by Augustin Müller in 1550 , also belonged to Arnsnesta . It was the seat of a mill court in the 18th century. There was also a Freihof in the village that belonged to Hans von Hagenest . After his death in 1560, this man-made estate, which was under the control of the Dresden office, was converted into a hereditary estate. Arnsnesta already had its own pastor in the 16th century, and the church patronage belonged to the University of Wittenberg at that time . As of December 31, 2001, Arnsnesta was incorporated into the city of Herzberg (Elster).

Castle hill

Castle hill in Arnsnesta, medieval moated castle of the Lords of Torgau in the 14th century
The sketch shows the location of the castle tower of the former Arnsnesta moated castle in the former river course of the Black Elster.

The castle hill is located 200 m southeast of the church on a flood plain on the right bank of the Black Elster and can still be recognized as a hill. The field name is Borchwall or Borchelt. In the 14th century the castle was surrounded by protective water arms. The castle was a circular to oval structure with approx. 51 meters in the north-south axis and 57 meters in the west-east extension. In 1902 archaeological excavations were carried out. The old course of the river ran approx. 60 meters west of today's castle hill. The remains of the castle were demolished in 1911–1912. The former castle is listed under the ground monument number 20368. (Map of the old river and moat)

landscape

To the west of the town is the Annaburger Heide , which is mainly used for military purposes as a military training area and also for forestry. The oxbow lakes of the Black Elster there form the former course of the river, which can still be easily recognized, before it was straightened and are of particular importance from a nature conservation perspective. These backwaters have developed into a refuge for protected plant species with plants such as water hazel , crayfish claws , swamp milkweed and others. The nature reserve Alte Elster and Rohrbornwiesen is particularly worth mentioning there .
