history

In 1361 Frankenberg was first mentioned in a document as "Franckenbeg" (probably from the first name Franco ). The castle seat of the Plassenburg was probably destroyed in a Hussite attack in 1430 . Since there is no evidence of damage in the documents, one can assume that the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) left Frankenberg almost without a trace.
