history

The Lords of Czettritz were one of the most respected and oldest Silesian noble families. A Dietz Czettritz is proven as early as 1230. The family first appeared in documents in 1243 with Merboto de Czetteras in Freiburg in the Duchy of Silesia , whose brother Peczco / Betsche owned the neighboring Zeisburg . The uninterrupted line of tribe begins in 1368 with Hermann von Czettritz , Burgrave of Nimptsch . The Czettritz acquired numerous possessions in the Duchy of Schweidnitz , where they founded several villages in the Waldenburger Bergland in the 16th century . In their possession were inter alia Adelsbach , Dittmannsdorf , Fröhlichsdorf , Fürstenstein , Gaablau , Gottesberg , Hausdorf , Jannowitz , Konradswaldau with the Castle Conradswalde , Kreppelhof , the rule Kynau with the Kynsburg, Liebersdorf , Schwarzwaldau , Reussendorf , Seitendorf and the Zeisburg as well as the castle district Neuhaus with the city of Waldenburg and Oberwaldenburg . In the neighboring county of Glatz they were wealthy in the Oberwernersdorf rule . From 1558–1561 they also owned the Upper Silesian Gleiwitz .

In Moravia , the Czettritz von Kynsberg family branch owned, among other things, Grätz in the Duchy of Opava and Kunewald and Zauchtel in Kuhländchen . The last two places mentioned developed during their rule to a center of the German-speaking brother movement , which was supported by Johann Balthasar von Czettritz. He built the Trinity Church in Zauchtel from 1604 to 1614, which was one of the largest Protestant meetinghouses. In Eastern Bohemia , among others, Schatzlar was owned by the Czettritz.
