history

According to legend, Schlackenwerth is said to have been built by Prince Slakow von Riesenberg , after whose name the city was named. Until the 15th century, Schlackenwerth was the property of the royal chamber and was associated with the lords of Hauenstein and Tüppelsgrün. In 1419 Emperor Sigismund pawned it to Kaspar Schlick . The property remained in the hands of the so-called Schlackenwerther line of the family. In 1489 the dominion was divided. Kaspar II. Schlick built a new Renaissance castle in place of a fortress. In 1575 Schlackenwerth fell to the Counts of Schönburg-Glauchau , who pledged the rule to the city council in 1590. In 1602 it came entirely to the city for a purchase price of 71,000 thalers. Since Schlackenwerth took part in the uprising against Emperor Ferdinand II , she was declared forfeit of her property and privileges.

After the Battle of the White Mountain , the confiscated town and rulership went to Duke Julius Heinrich von Sachsen-Lauenburg for 150,000 florins , who had made a name for himself as an imperial general in the Thirty Years' War . After his death in 1666, Duke Julius Franz von Sachsen-Lauenburg inherited it , who left it to his daughter Princess Franziska Sibylla Augusta von Sachsen-Lauenburg , wife of Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden-Hochberg in 1689 . Since then, Schlackenwerth was owned by the margravial house of Baden. After the death of the last male representative, Margrave Georg August von Baden, his niece Princess Elisabeth Auguste received it. The right of usufruct was granted to her by Empress Maria Theresa for life. After her death in 1782 it reverted to the royal chamber.

In 1811 the rule came to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany , but it was separated from Hauenstein and Tüppelsgrün. In the possession of the family for more than 100 years, the castle has since been used as a summer residence. In 1832 the rule comprised three cities and 30 villages, the latter containing 622 residential buildings with 3587 inhabitants, who mainly farm and raise cattle. The seat of the office is in the protective town of Schlackenwerth. This contains 238 houses with 1,191 inhabitants who do business and agriculture. The municipal town of Bärringen has 202 houses with 1460 inhabitants who are active in the lace making and lace trade after the decline of mining. The municipal town of Lichtenstadt has over 1000 inhabitants, including 163 Christian and 37 Jewish houses who live from agriculture, trade and commerce.

After the revolution of 1848/1849 , inheritance and patrimonial jurisdiction were abolished in the Austrian Empire and the judicial districts were established. The landlords were thus only landowners.
