history
The Feste Neuhaus on the Schlossberg in Dittersbach was established around 1293 by Duke Bolko I. von Schweidnitz . Like the neighboring castles Fürstenstein , Gröditzburg , Vogelgesang and Kynast, it served to secure the border against Bohemia . Identical to the Waldenburg, it was first mentioned in 1365. Due to the marriage of Princess Anna von Schweidnitz in 1353 to the Bohemian King Karl I, later Emperor Karl IV , Neuhaus Castle lost its strategic importance.
In 1372 Neuhaus Castle, together with the castle district of the same name, passed from ducal property into the hereditary property of Burgraves Schoff . In 1426 the von Liebenthal and 1434 Hermann d. J. von Czettritz on Schwarzwaldau and Fürstenstein until about the middle of the 15th century. During the Hussite Wars (1419–1436) the castle was not destroyed as the burgraves willingly accepted the Hussites . From around 1450 it was subordinate to Hans von Zedlitz , who was followed by Hans von Czettritz in 1462. As a party member of the Bohemian King Georg von Podiebrad , after his death in the middle of the dispute over the Bohemian crown, he lost the rule of Neuhaus to the opposing king Matthias Corvinus in 1475 . During this time Neuhaus was administered by the Schweidnitz governor Georg von Stein as a royal pledge . In 1488 Neuhaus came back to Hans von Czettritz. In 1490 the Bohemian King Vladislav II withdrew the pawn loan and sold it to Fabian von Tschirnhaus as an inheritance. In 1492 Neuhaus was again in the possession of Hans von Czettritz, whose descendants or in their sidelines the Dyherrn -Czettritz remained until 1866. Neuhaus Castle was destroyed by fire as early as 1581 and was not rebuilt afterwards. Instead, from 1606 to 1628, Waldenburg Castle was built in the Renaissance style in Ober Waldenburg on the then city limits of Waldenburg.
The owners of the castle had lived in Ober Waldenburg since the beginning of the 17th century, or in a small castle at the foot of the castle hill, which was demolished in 1882. In 1866, Amalie Friedrike Wilhelmine von Dyherrn-Czettritz bequeathed the Neuhaus reign to Pastor Franz Gyrdt, from whom she passed on to Hans Heinrich XI in 1871 . von Hochberg , Prince von Pless and Count von Hochberg auf Fürstenstein .
Castle District
The hamlets of Hermsdorf , Waldenburg and Weißstein belonged to the castle district in the 14th century . In 1682 it consisted of the villages of Neuhaus, Dittersbach, Hermsdorf, Althain and Bärengrund. In 1928 the castle district and the Vorwerk were incorporated into Dittersbach, which in turn was added to the town of Waldenburg in 1934.
