history
As early as 977 there was a royal estate here, which Otto II gave to the collegiate church in Merseburg that year .
Later there was a manor at the place , which was successively owned by different noble families. The castle, a three-winged baroque complex based on French models, is said to have been started under Baron Anton Albrecht von Imhoff , according to an entry in Duncker 1699–1702 . It is also believed that the builder Hermann Korb reshaped it from an older building. The wind vane on the central tower dome bears the year 1699.
It is more likely that it was built in 1677–78 for Christian von Klengel (1629–93), who had acquired the manor in 1675, through his brother, the Saxon master builder Wolf Caspar von Klengel . The varied structure of the three-winged building is baroque, the two stair towers with the sloping windows are still in the Renaissance style. The gable and roof shape of the central risalit are reminiscent of the neighboring Schönwölkau Palace built in the 1670s , the octagonal open roof turrets with onion domes on the church of Eutzsch attributed to Klengel , the middle onion on the top of his Dresden Hausmannsturm .
In 1724 it was bought by the wealthy Leipzig merchant and war supplier Peter Hohmann , who was ennobled in 1717 and thus founded the von Hohenthal family . The Counts of Hohenthal owned the estate until the expropriation in 1945. Above the portal is the Count's alliance coat of arms Hohenthal-Pourtalès from 1894 (for the married couple Count Moritz von Hohenthal and Rosa née Countess von Pourtalès ). There is also a Hohenthal alliance coat of arms in the gable field.
Hohenprießnitz belonged to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Eilenburg until 1815 . As a result of the resolutions of the Congress of Vienna , the place became part of Prussia and was assigned to the Delitzsch district in the Merseburg administrative district of the province of Saxony in 1816, to which it belonged until 1952.
In the course of the second district reform in the GDR in 1952, Hohenprießnitz was attached to the Eilenburg district in the Leipzig district , which was added to the Delitzsch district in 1994 . On January 1, 1999 Hohenprießnitz was incorporated into Zschepplin.
The Bavarian entrepreneur Konrad Obermüller acquired the castle in 2011 and inaugurated the renovated main building in 2014.
In 2011 the association Atmaseva was founded , which is inspired by the spiritual teachings of Sathya Sai Baba . He acquired a plot of land on the site of the former manor.
