The rule of Goseck goes back to the property of the Goseck Monastery, which was secularized as a result of the Reformation in the 16th century. The abolished monastery became a literary manor in the Freyburg office of the Thuringian District of the Electorate of Saxony . After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the Goseck manor fell to the newly formed Prussian province of Saxony . The villages of Goseck , Dobichau, Kleingräfendorf , Pettstädt , parts of the villages Markröhlitz and Eulau belonged to the Goseck estate ; Lobitzsch was parish .
history
Georg von Altensee († 1565) and his brother Lamprecht von Altensee († 1581) were among the first owners of the manor.
In 1594 Franz von Königsmarck was enfeoffed with Goseck, whose wife Katharina b. von Hoym married Chancellor Bernhard von Pöllnitz after his death. Both were enfeoffed with Goseck by Saxon electors in 1609. They were followed by the sons Christian Julius († 1662) and Hans Christoph von Pöllnitz (died 1680).
In 1684 Amalie von Pöllnitz born. von Hunigk took over the Goseck estate as a widow in the guardianship of her sons Christoph Bernhard and Christian Julius Heinrich. Since both sons were declared dead after a sea voyage, the estate passed to various heirs, from whom Goseck was handed over to the senior tax councilor Gottfried Pfitzner (died 1732). Other owners are his son Hofrat Jakob Heinrich Pfitzner († 1737) and grandson Gottfried Heinrich Pfitzner († 1758). After his early death, his mother Charlotte Sophie, née Lampe (died 1776) the estate, which she bequeathed to her son from her second marriage, Ludwig Wilhelm von Eckhardt.
From 1808 Carolina Christiane von Schönberg, b. von Brandenstein and her three siblings can be proven to be the owners of Goseck. Goseck remained in the possession of the Barons von Brandenstein until 1840.
In 1840, Julius Graf von Zech-Burkersroda (1805–1872) acquired Goseck and Uichteritz . He was also the owner of the goods Kötzschau, Bündorf, Geusa and Benndorf; Diehsa; Börln and Radegast.
In 1847 Julius Graf von Zech-Burkersroda sold Benndorf, in 1854 Uichteritz was also sold. This extensive estate was inherited by his two sons. Julius Ludwig August Graf von Zech-Burkersroda (1835–1876), who in 1867 acquired the Eulau manor and later inherited Goseck, Bündorf, Geusa and Diehsa. Friedrich Ludwig Graf von Zech-Burkersroda (1853–1927) inherited Börln, Radegast and Kötzschau. The Goseck manor remained in the possession of the Graf von Zech-Burkersroda family until the land reform in September 1945.
