history
A high medieval trading path ran through the valley of the Eulenbach from the old Wosek Castle over the Erzgebirge ridge to the Mark Meissen. The trade connection, later referred to as the Riesenberger Steig , was paved on its steep ascent between Hrad Osek and Dlouhá Louka to prevent leaching and to make it easier to drive on with an unusual flat pavement, which Franz von Rziha dated to the 11th or 12th century at the latest. The path was probably created by the Lords of Hrabischitz as the starting point for their settlement of the Ore Mountains and the establishment of the Sayda , Purschenstein and Rechenberg lords in the Margraviate of Meissen . Between 1241 and 1250, Borso II von Wosek had the new mighty Wosek Castle built on a spur over two source brooks of the Eulenbach, which was soon also called the Giant Castle . Analogous to this, Borso II acquired the title of Riesenburg . A castle settlement with toll collection was built below the castle. Borso IV von Riesenburg had a new trade route laid out from Ossegg via Riesenberg, Langewiese , Strasbourg and Grünwald in 1341 , which again reached the Ossegger Steig on the pass and continued on this to Rechenberg and Frauenstein . Because of over-indebtedness, the Borso d. Ä. and Borso d. J. von Riesenburg in 1398 sell the rule Riesenburg to Margrave Wilhelm I of Meissen . In 1422, Emperor Sigismund confirmed the possession of the Riesenburg to Margrave Wilhelm II , Frederick the Peaceful and Frederick the Arguable .
After the Riesenburg rule became part of the Kingdom of Bohemia again through the Treaty of Eger in 1459, King George of Podebrady , whose daughter Sidonie had married Albrecht the Brave in the same year , pledged the Riesenburg rule to his follower and creditor Prokop von Rabenstein . Since the Saxon rulers were not willing to give up their now Bohemian property, the castle was besieged by Bohemian troops in 1469. Due to numerous attacks by Heinrich von Rabenstein and the conquest of the castle in 1473, the brothers Ernst and Albrecht the Brave ceded the rule to the queen widow Johanna von Rosental . At the instigation of King Vladislav II Jagiello , Heinrich von Rabenstein sold the Riesenburg pledge in 1474 to Prince Paul Kaplirz de Sulewicz , who then called himself von Wosek . After 1488 he moved his seat to the fortress Duchcov and left the giant castle to decay. Johann Kaplirz de Sulewicz sold the Riesenburg pledge to Diepolt von Lobkowicz in 1523 . King Ferdinand I left Diepolt's sons to rule Dux, with the huge desert castle as hereditary property. A tax list from 1549 lists four subjects liable to interest for Miesteczko pod Wosekem . In 1642 the Counts of Waldstein inherited the rule. In 1680 Johann Friedrich von Waldstein raised the lordships of Dux and Oberleutensdorf to a family affide .
In 1831 Riesenberg consisted of 34 houses with 226 German-speaking residents. There was a public chapel, an official forester's house, a wooden garden, three grinding mills and a board mill in the village . The parish was Alt-Ossegg. Until the middle of the 19th century, Riesenberg remained subject to the entails rule Dux.
After the abolition of patrimonial Riesenberg formed from 1850 a district of the municipality Ossegg in the Leitmeritz district and judicial district Dux. From 1868 the village belonged to the Neuossegg municipality in the Teplitz district, and in 1896 it was assigned to the Dux district . In 1913, Neuossegg and Altossegg merged to form a municipality of Ossegg, which was made a town a year later. The Czech place name Rýzmburk was introduced in 1924. As a result of the Munich Agreement , the village was added to the German Reich in 1938 and belonged to the Dux district until 1945 . After the end of the Second World War, Rýzmburk came back to Czechoslovakia and the German-Bohemian population was expelled . In 1949, Rýzmburk was renamed Hrad Osek . Since 1961 the place belongs to the Okres Teplice .
Today, Hrad Osek is a place to relax and a starting point for hikes to Rýzmburk Castle and the Ore Mountains.
