Reign Schnallenstein
The rule Schnallenstein (also: Dominion Rosenthal ) was in the south of the County of Glatz . It was formed in 1684 from several chamber villages in the Habelschwerdt district and named after the ruins of Schnallenstein Castle in this area .
history
To cover the costs of the Turkish Wars , Emperor Leopold I, in his capacity as King of Bohemia, sold numerous chamber villages in the Habelschwerdter and Landecker districts to Michael Wenzel von Althann , the governor of Glatz , who already owned the dominions of Mittelwalde , Wölfelsdorf and Schönfeld .
The villages in the Habelschwerdter district were: Rosenthal , Freiwalde , Marienthal , Seitendorf , Ebersdorf , Wölfelsgrund , Lichtenwalde , Peucker , Stuhlseiffen , Langenbrück , Hammer , Verlorenwasser and parts of Oberlangenau and Niederlangenau . Since some of these villages were formerly subject to Schnallenstein Castle, all villages and parts of the village were initially referred to as "Herrschaft Schnallenstein" and later, after Rosenthal developed into the main place of the rule, also called "Herrschaft Rosenthal". The colonies “Aloysienthal” and “Neuwalde” were added later. In 1796, Friedrich von Stillfried auf Hausdorf , who was the owner of the estate at the time, acquired the Frerichtergut in Rosenthal, which he connected with the dominant share there.
The respective owner of the lordship had the higher courts, over the subjects of the dominial shares, over the judges and his subjects as well as the free farmers in Oberlangenau and Wölfelsdorf. In Rosenthal, Ebersdorf, Wölfelsgrund, Freiwalde, Seitendorf, Marienthal, Lichtenwalde, Stuhlseifen, Peucker, Hammer and Langebrück, he had the privilege of brewing and serving beer. He also had the privilege of hunting and the right of patronage, which was associated with the appointment of priests.
As part of the Prussian reforms , inheritance was abolished in 1809. This gave the subjects personal freedom.
Owner of the Schnallenstein / Rosenthal estate
After the death of Michael Wenzel von Althann in 1686 the rule Schnallenstein / Rosenthal inherited his son of the same name and in 1738 his widow Maria Aloysia Theresia née von Dietrichstein . At their instigation, further houses were built at the lower end of Langenbrück, which were initially called "Colony Aloysienthal" and later as "Niederlangenbrück" and were also subject to the Schnallenstein rule.
Maria Aloysia Theresia von Althann bequeathed the rule of Schnallenstein / Rosenthal to her granddaughter Wilhelmine von Stahremberg in 1783. She sold her inheritance to Baron Michael von Stillfried on Neurode . In 1787–1797, he created the "Neuwalde Colony" on cleared land for the sovereign. It consisted of 16 houses that belonged to the Freiwalde community. Friedrich von Stillfried auf Hausdorf , a son of the aforementioned, inherited the rule in 1796 and in the same year acquired the Frerichtergut in Rosenthal, which he combined with the local dominion share. Around 1800 he sold the Schnallenstein / Rosenthal estate to Lieutenant Colonel Wilhelm von dem Busche, from whom Imperial Count Anton Alexander von Magnis in Eckersdorf acquired it in 1804 . In 1838 the rule came to Princess Marianne von Oranien-Nassau , who was married to Prince Albrecht of Prussia . Their descendants were expropriated in 1945.
