description

The remains of the wall on the Dietrichstein were only erected in recent times, but hewn stones and blocks from an older date were reused. Traces of a berm and a ditch are still there. Agricultural margins stretching as far as the Burgstall indicate an agricultural use of the area, which is now overgrown by a forest.

history

At Tyrstein (Dürrstein or Dietrichstein), regional court sessions were held regularly as a border point of the Hirschberg regional court, for example in 1339. In a document from 1404 it says for the last time: “given to the Freienstadt in all the measure than the regional court was more likely to allow the Tirstein ”. A noble family von Tyrstein has not yet been documented.
