history
The development of Golßen goes back to the time of the German settlement in the east in the 12th century. The oldest surviving document of the city dates back to October 21, 1276. The settlement structure of Golßen still shows the typical central form of an Angers settlement grouped around the market square .
In 1276, the Golssen manor was owned by the burgraves from the Wettin family . In 1346 the property was owned by Heinrich de Damis . In 1372 Emperor Charles IV pledged the "Veste Golssin" to the Lords of Querfurt . In 1395 the Margrave Wilhelm "der Einäugige " von Meißen, 1402 Wichard von Rochan and from 1418 Caspar and Paul von Knobelsdorff are mentioned as owners. After the von Knobelsdorffs, the von Polentz and finally von Stutterheim families appear as owners of the Golßen estate in the further course of the 15th century .
The von Stutterheim family united the goods Alt-Golssen, Sellendorf, Hohendorf, Schäcksdorf, Krossen, Drahnsdorf, Liedekahle, Jetzsch, Falkenhain, Zützen, Görsdorf, Landwehr, Priaro from the middle of the 15th century to the 17th century , Waldow, Rietzneuendorf, Briesen, Oderin, Sagritz, Pitschen, Krebitz and a number of other goods in their hand and thus held an area that went far beyond the area of today's Golßen. In the course of the Thirty Years' War and subsequently until the beginning of the 18th century, the family gradually lost or sold their property.
Around 1647 the von Bredow family acquired partial ownership of the Golssen estate and held it until 1718. In 1718, this family estate was sold to the Prussian Chamber Councilor Johann-Peter von Koehler, through whom the estate was passed on to his son-in-law Johann Just Vieth (later as Vieth ennobled by Golssen (au) , cf. Ludwig Renn ) passed over. This built the middle part of today's castle. The estate finally came to the Counts of Solms-Baruth through various owners . After 1945 the property was expropriated as part of the land reform . Today (2014) the castle is empty.
The Zützen and Wendisch-Gersdorff estates belonged to the von Klitzing family in the 17th century . In 1651 she married the royal Swedish colonel Herbert von Droste zu Möllenbeck, a brother of Everwin von Droste zu Möllenbeck (from a branch of the Westphalian noble family Droste zu Hülshoff ). His son, the Saxon general Johann Eberhard von Droste-Zützen , married the estates Reddern (where he built the flat church) and Grebendorf. His visit to the family ancestral estate Burg Hülshoff was handed down through literary work by the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff . In the middle of the 18th century, a descendant sold the estate to the Kleist family , who had Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff build the splendid Baroque Zützen Castle, which burned to the ground in May 1945 - probably as a result of arson.
