The Berg vor Eilenburg estate was a Vorwerk near Eilenburg , from which the two independent manors Berg and Friedrichshöhe later emerged. The facility was located west of the city and south of Eilenburg Castle on the high bank of the Mulde . The two preserved mansions opposite each other in today's Weinbergstrasse 8 and 9 are registered cultural monuments in the list of monuments of the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Saxony (object numbers 08973303 and 08973318).

history

Gut Berg was first mentioned in 1395 as a Vorwerk ( uff dem Berge lyt eyn furwerg hoff ). It was originally located in the area of ​​the former Burglehn and farm yards of Eilenburg Castle . According to the chronicle, the residents of today's Mittelstrasse, Grenzstrasse and Weinbergstrasse as well as on Grabenweg had to pay taxes. After the estate in 1463 as fallen desert was mentioned, it was in 1533 in a Lehnsakt the Elector Johann Friedrich I of Francis of Plaußig . Even then, Gut Berg consisted of two farms opposite each other ("Hof auf dem Berge" and "Hof am Steinwege"). In 1556 the new owner, official administrator Georg Winkler, received the right to inheritance from Elector August I , but without jurisdiction . In 1561 the part at today's Friedrichshöhe ("on the mountain") came to the administrator Heinrich Schlegel, whose man-made estate was also converted into an allodial property by the elector in 1563 .

There were now two independent manors that only came back to a common owner in 1844. From then on, the name Gut Berg meant the estate "am Steinwege", which was west of today's Weinbergstrasse. The estate to the east was still called "on the mountain". The somewhat misleading naming was given up in 1875 when the new owner of the manor "on the mountain", Friedrich von Pentz, gave the property his name. Since then, the distinction between the goods in Berg and Friedrichshöhe , which is still used today, has existed .

In 1652 the junker Hans Bernhard von Wahren stabbed the quartermaster Schwalbe from Krippehna on his manor Berg . Von Wahren was pardoned, however, and the pronounced fine of 500 guilders went to the churches. The goods changed hands several times in the following period. In 1844 they both came back into one hand. After negotiations about incorporation into Eilenburg had been going on since 1876 , the goods lost their independence in 1894 by means of the "highest cabinet order". In 1945 they were finally expropriated without compensation as part of the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone . At that time, the expropriation was flanked by the maxim “Junker land in peasant hands”.

In 1542 the manor district counted ten possessed men , in 1747 30 cottagers with three hooves of land were mentioned there, and also in 1814 when the Berg manor with 30 houses on Hintersteinweg and in Wedelwitz was mentioned. The parish church was always the Marienkirche .

Personalities

In 1745 the war councilor and satirist Christian Ludwig Liscow acquired the estate "auf dem Berge", where he set up his retirement home and died in 1760. He was buried in the nearby Marienkirche . The estate remained in the family until 1800.
The Anhalt court marshal was born on Gut Berg in 1725 and was the owner of the estate until 1785.
The imperial-royal major general was Busso's brother and was born in 1732 at Gut Berg.
In 1803 the novelist Karl Eduard von Bülow was born on Gut Berg , whose parents came into possession of the property in 1799.
The machine fitter and inventor was born in 1856 in the Gut Berg district.

Manorial rule

The manors Berg and Friedrichshöhe changed hands many times. Among these were several German aristocratic families as well as local and state officials. From 1561 to 1844 both farms were owned separately. In 1945, the country fell by expropriation in public property . The following list provides an overview of the manorial system, but does not claim to be complete.
