history

The lordship Ringethal northeast of Mittweida originated around 1150 to 1170. Originally, the lordship was located as a Hermitage Ringethal on a rock spur of the Arnsberg, which lies in a loop of the Zschopau . In 1315, Lewenhain Castle (also called “Robbery Ringethal”) was built on the steep bank of the Zschopau opposite the Lauenhain Talgut. Later the mansion was moved to the valley next to the existing farm buildings, where the Fliehburg was also located in the island pond. In 1450 the Lords of Hain (also known as von Hahn / von Hayn) finally moved their residence to the valley and built the Ringethal moated castle on the banks of the Zschopau . Under the von Poigk family, Ringethal Castle was rebuilt and expanded into a late Baroque castle in 1742. Since then it has consisted of two upper floors and a mansard roof. In 1789 the castle of Christoph Friedrich von Flemming passed to the Baroness von Racknitz. From 1861 to 1935 the von Schroeter family is recorded as the owner of the Ringethaler Schloss.
The lordship Ringethal consisted of the knight seat Ringethal and the places Ringethal, Falkenhain, Hermsdorf and Erlebach. As an exclave of the Freiberg district office, it was located between the offices of Rochlitz and Nossen . In 1606 the place Erlebach came to the Office Rochlitz . The lordship of Ringethal was owned by many different noble families and belonged to the Freiberg district office as an exclave until 1832. It was then integrated into the Frankenberg-Sachsenburg office, which was expanded to the northwest .
