history
The rulership is named after Mylau Castle, in the Göltzsch valley. The dominion in the northeast of the Vogtland was established in the course of the German colonization in the east . The area and later also the castle were named Milin , after the Milinbach, today Raumbach. The first rulers over the area were directly subordinate to the German Kaiser as imperial administrators. In the 14th century, Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian lent the castle and the associated rule to Heinrich II. Reuss von Plauen. As a result of the Vogtland War , the bailiffs had to recognize the feudal sovereignty of the Bohemian King Charles IV and in 1367 they were forced to sell the rule to Charles IV. In 1422 the rule of King Sigismund was pledged to the Wettins and no longer redeemed. Conversion work was carried out from a defensive building to a residential palace under the Metzsch rulers . While the von Metzsch were only responsible for the area as officials of the Wettins, they bought the castle in 1460. Joseph Levin Metzsch introduced the Reformation as a friend of Luther . In 1571 the rule was divided by his sons. Abraham von Metzsch kept Friesen and Reichenbach. Ernst von Metzsch founded the branch line to Weißensand and Lengenfeld and Konrad on Mylau. The Mylau estate was bought by Nikol von Schönberg in 1577 . But already in 1638 the acquired Amtshauptmann of Zwickau , Carol Bose rule. The last nobleman was Christian Ludwig Edler von der Planitz from 1727 .
