Jahnishausen ( district of Meißen , Saxony ) is a district of the city of Riesa about 4 km south of the city center on the right bank of a right branch of the Jahna . It is known today because of the building complex of the former castle (a two-wing complex) with adjoining park with Märzenbecherwiesen . The park is part of the Jahnatal landscape protection area . Also worth mentioning for the park is a 200-year-old male ginkgo tree on the back of the palace (planted around 1809). In the village there is also a church with a remarkable oval floor plan.

History of the place and castle

Below is an overview of the history of the place as well as the castle and church:

The first settlement of the area between Meißen and Riesa took place after 2000 BC. BC, probably as part of the Aunjetitz culture . The castle stands on the site of an early German moated castle , the predecessor of which was a Slavic rampart at the confluence of the Keppritz and the Jahna. It was first mentioned as Wacswicz in 1334. For the year 1389 Bernhard von Kanitz was named as the owner. After 1431 it was bought by the von Schleinitz family on Seerhausen . At the time of the estate of Jahn (Johann) von Schleinitz, the place was renamed to Jahnishausen in 1500.

During the Thirty Years' War there was repeated devastation by Swedish troops between 1636 and 1645. The repair of the war damage by Friedrich August von Kötteritz was then carried out (1645–1676).

The first village church was built around 1665. Maria Sophia Freifrau von Reichenbach born. Friesen (July 23, 1652– June 13, 1718) lived in Jahnishausen Castle with interruptions between 1690 and 1718. It was then owned by the von Callenberg family (1718–1786). During this time the castle was destroyed by fire in 1730. After 1786 it was provisionally restored by the Elector of Saxony, Captain Christoph Dietrich von Plötz.

In the Saxon peasant uprising in 1790, the Jahnishausener temporarily forced the landlord to waive service and interest. In the same year, on the initiative of Christoph Dietrich von Plötz, a new one - today's village church - was built and consecrated (with a pulpit altar in classical form) on the ground of the first village church.

In 1796 the palace was restored by the Royal Saxon Secret Cabinet and War Minister Georg Wilhelm von Hopfgarten († April 1813, see also Großjena ).

In 1824 the Saxon prince and later King Johann (known under the pseudonym Philalethes ) acquired the Jahnishausen manor. The western wing of the palace was renewed in the classical style. On the occasion of the golden wedding of King Johann with Princess Amalie Auguste of Bavaria in 1872, the couple received two so-called stone wedding vases made of Rochlitz porphyry , one of which is in the castle park and the second was on the current grounds of the Dresden-Hosterwitz waterworks until 2000 . The castle gained special importance through the translation of Dante's Divine Comedy , on which Prince Johann worked here alongside Weesenstein Castle from 1825 to 1848. His former study - the gable room of the north wing of the castle - as well as his secretary can be visited.

From 1899 the building was occupied by the Saxon kings Albert , Georg , Friedrich August III. and used by Prince Ernst Heinrich of Saxony as a hunting lodge .

Around 1930 the castle served as a rest home . In 1945 it became part of a state-owned property through expropriation and land reform in 1945 and housed, among other things, a kindergarten, daycare center and cultural areas. It was owned by the Saxon royal family until 1945.

The eastern wing of the building was destroyed by a roof fire (1969/1970) and the entire building was abandoned by an official decision and it fell into disrepair. The palace park was restored to its handsome condition in 1991.

On March 1, 1994, Jahnishausen was incorporated into Riesa. The ruin was secured in 1995 by the German Foundation for Monument Protection . The former palace complex was auctioned in 2002 by the “Lebenstraum” community.

The cultural association Accademia Dantesca Jahnishausen was founded in 2003 to restore Jahnishausen Castle. V.

Use of the former castle

The alternative-ecologically oriented community "Life's Dream", in the legal form of a cooperative , was founded in 2002 with the date of the auction of the former manor. Within ten years, the smaller part of the building was restored while preserving the preservation of the monument protection in order to set up apartments, common rooms, studios and workshops.
