history
Purschenstein was owned by the von Riesenburg family
At the beginning of the settlement in this area from Bohemia , the area around Purschenstein and Sayda belonged to the domain of the Bohemian Hrabischitzer (also called Lords of Riesenburg ). When the first silver was found in the Ore Mountains in the 12th century, they founded the Cistercian monastery Ossegg (now in Czech: Osek ), which played a decisive role in the settlement of the rulers. At the end of the 13th century, the Hrabischitzer family owned the town of Sayda , Purschenstein Castle and the villages of Clausnitz , Cämmerswalde , Dittersbach, Neuhausen , Deutscheinsiedel , Seiffen , Heidersdorf and, further west, Reukersdorf , Hallbach , Schönfeld , Pfaffroda , Dittmannsdorf , Ullersdorf and Friedebach . In 1253 the Hrabischitz property in the Eastern Ore Mountains was exchanged for Austrian lands belonging to the Meissen margrave Heinrich the illustrious . The Bohemian King Wenceslas II and the Meissen Margrave Friedrich I exchanged the lands back in 1299. After the death of Wenceslaus III. In 1307, Margrave Friedrich took possession of the Hrabischitz property again. Since then, the Hrabischitz feudal lords of the Saxon margrave were in this area. Purschenstein Castle ("Castrum Borsensteyn"), first mentioned in 1289 and built by Boresch I (Borso), served as a customs and escort castle on the old Bohemian Steig , a salt road from Leipzig via the Deutscheinsiedler Sattel to Prague .
The Purschenstein lordship is owned by the von Schönberg family
In 1350 the brothers Boresch and Slavko von Riesenburg were given the fiefdom of the Sayda and Purschenstein castles . Two years later, the two brothers sold the Saxon goods to the Lords of Schönberg , thereby giving up the Saxon lands. From 1352 the town of Sayda belonged to the rule. The Lords of Schönberg initially resided at Sayda Castle and later at Purschenstein Castle . Between 1350 and 1426, in addition to the Lords of Schönberg, the Burgrave of Meißen was also given as the owner. From 1426 onwards, the Margraves of Meissen are finally given as feudal lords and the Lords of Schönberg as owners of the Purschenstein estate. Since the division of Leipzig in 1485, the Purschenstein rule belonged to the Albertine line of the Wettins .
The Purschenstein manor has been traceable since 1551. In 1584 a farm was built in place of Sayda Castle . Caspar Heinrich von Schönberg promoted the settlement of Protestant religious refugees ( exiles ) from Habsburg Bohemia during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) . Numerous new places arose in the rule that was depopulated by the plague and war.
When Schönberg was divided in 1578, the Schönberg property was divided into the Purschenstein lordship. The Hirschberg Forest between Seiffen in the east and the Bohemian border in the west was added as an exclave to the Schönberg dominion of Frauenstein . In 1650/51 the Purschensteiner family branch of those von Schönberg lost the manor Pfaffroda to the Sachsenburg family branch, whereby Pfaffroda and its associated places became their own rule. In 1653 the village of Deutscheinsiedel east of Seiffen in the Purschenstein rulership was flooded. The part of the town east of Neuhausen with the Einsiedler Revier and the Clausnitzer Forest bought by the Saxon elector came as an exclave to the Lauterstein office . The part of the place that remained under the rule was later called Bad Einsiedel . Since 1696 the rule Purschenstein belonged to the district office Freiberg . However, it remained in the possession of the von Schönberg family , and Purschenstein Castle even until it was expropriated in 1945.
Shortly before the Freiberg district office was dissolved with the Purschenstein rulership, Deutschgeorgenthal became part of the Frauenstein office.
The Seiffen vassal mining office
In 1324 the Hrabischitzer started mining in the area around Seiffen . In the second half of the 15th century, tin mining in solid rock began around the mountain town of Seiffen. In 1480, Caspar von Schönberg zu Purschenstein received the right to lend the mines for lower metals on his property himself, which subsequently made Seiffen the official seat of a Schönberg miner. Around 1600 the "Vasallenbergamt Seiffen" was established. In 1778 it comprised fifteen villages in the Seiffener Winkel. After the decline of tin mining in the following centuries, woodworking became an economic factor in the region. a. the Seiffen toy site is a testimony. In the Heidelbach glassworks a. a. Usable glass manufactured. In 1821 the vassal mining office consisted of the mountain master, the mountain and counter scribe, the jury, the shift manager and the mining office messenger. The affiliation to a mining authority district had not been completely clarified for centuries. The mining districts Freiberg and Marienberg raised their claims to the office until the 19th century . The mining office was dissolved in 1849.
The manor and the rule of Pfaffroda
The Pfaffroda manor has been traceable since 1512. Until 1650, the manor Pfaffroda and its associated places were part of the Purschenstein rule and thus belonged to the von Schönberg family ( Purschensteiner line). After that, Pfaffroda with its villages Dittmannsdorf , Hallbach , Schönfeld , Reukersdorf and the villages of Hutha (partially), Nieder- and Oberneuschönberg, newly founded by Bohemian exiles after 1650, formed an independent rule under Caspar von Schönberg from the Sachsenburg- Mittelrohna line .
