The Edelhof Alberoda (also Wasserburg Edelmannsteich , Wallteich ) was a moated castle in the Alberoda district of Aue-Bad Schlema in the Ore Mountains . The facility was first mentioned in 1424. After it burned down in 1617, it was expanded that same year.
Description and history
Edelhof Alberoda (August 2010)
Edelhof Alberoda from the pond side
Today's Edelhof goes back to a defense system that was built around 1200 and consisted of a rampart surrounded by a moat. The castle served to protect the old Bohemian road from Zwickau via Hartenstein . Between 1424 and 1536 it was owned by the von Oelsnitz family, followed by Fabian von Ulset and the von Schönburg family . In 1543 the Lords of Schönburg sold their property to Leonhard von Milkau, whereby the noble court was elevated to a manor.
The core of the facility is built over by a residential building with a side length of around 11 by 11 meters. The ground floor of this house is made of quarry stone with Renaissance walls and suggests the use of building materials from the former moated castle. A ditch has been preserved as an embankment in the west, north and east . This is between 11 and 15 meters wide and 2 to 4 meters deep. The southern section was backfilled. In front of this ditch are the remains of a dam about 5 meters wide and 4 meters high. Possibly this is a remnant of the outer wall of the plant.

The foundation walls of the residential building probably come from a previous building that was built in 1543 by the then owner Bernhard von Milkau. After a fire in 1617, it was rebuilt in its current size. The preserved Renaissance portal still shows remains of the side seats and is marked with the initials WF.VM (Friedrich Wilhelm von Milkau) in the keystone. The ground floor includes a vault with ornate keystones. The upper floor is paneled with wood. The roof is hewn .
After 1800 there were frequent changes of ownership of the property, which was rebuilt in 1859 by Carl Gottlob Hofmann. The moat was filled in at the end of the 19th century. In 1943 the factory owner Bruno Ebert from Lößnitz acquired the Edelhof and made further changes to the building. After the Second World War, the building was used by the Aue district hospitals as a TB sanatorium between 1948 and 1958 . It has been a listed building since 1953. From 1958 the LPG called it “8. March "used for residential purposes.
In 1988, private owners bought the historic building and began gradually renovating it. Since 1991 it has been used as an apartment and restaurant.
