The Jochhöhschlösschen is a baroque castle in the Pesterwitz district of Freital in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district . Today there are condominiums in the building.

history

The castle was built between 1795 and 1797 by the Roßthaler manor owner, privy councilor, chamberlain and district tax collector Günther Carl Albrecht von Nimptsch as a winegrower's house. It consists of a two-storey central building, two single-storey side wings and two cavalier houses arranged on the entrance side . Below the castle was a vineyard with a winery and a small inn. The vineyard and park area were surrounded by a wall of plans . In 1803 the brother of Günther Carl Albrecht, Friedrich Hugo von Nimptsch, took over the castle.

In 1820 the pleasure palace went to the Baron von Thümen as part of the Pesterwitz manor . In 1847 Carl Friedrich August Dathe von Burgk acquired the castle. Already in October 1848 he gave it to his son Arthur Dathe von Burgk for the wedding. However, he does not live there, but rented the property to miners. The firecrackers placed in front of the house were the only heavy armament used by the rebels of the Dresden May uprising in 1849 and are now in the possession of the Dresden City Museum .

Wine has not been grown at the Jochhöhschlösschen since 1898. Due to the phylloxera disaster , the vines died and were not rebuilt. Since the 1980s, the winemaking tradition has been carried on elsewhere in Pesterwitz . The name Pesterwitzer Jochhöhschlößchen is used as part of the Dresden Elbe slopes , even if the viticulture managed by Gut Pesterwitz no longer has a relationship with the Jochhöhschlößchen.

In the years that followed, the castle lost its importance as a residential palace and was only used as a pleasure house . In 1935 (according to other information 1954) the city of Freital set up a retirement home in the castle . This was closed in 2000 and moved to a new building near the village square. The castle was privately renovated for residential purposes. Since 2003 there have been 15 condominiums in the Schlösschen, four more in the Kavaliers houses.

Development of the castle name

The original name of the castle, 'Juchhe', is said to come from the Junkers' joie de vivre. As a friend of poetry and rural festivals, he is said to have uttered a cheer when looking at his castle.

Around 1830 the name 'Juchhöh' came up. This became more and more widespread and lasted until a hiking map in 1957. The name 'Jochhöh', which is known today, has been traceable since around 1840.
