history

The Graefenhainichen Castle was founded by the Counts of Anhalt and came under the feudal sovereignty of the Wettins in 1381 . The castle and the office of Graefenhainichen belonged to the Ernestine line of the Wettins after the division of Leipzig in 1485 . Since the defeat of the Ernestines in the Schmalkaldic War in 1547 ( Wittenberg surrender ), the goods were in the possession of the Albertines .

Elector August von Sachsen sold Graefenhainichen Castle to his bailiff Heinrich von Gleißenthal in 1554 . The "Gut Strohwalde" was built in the late 16th century as the foreworks of the castle on a deserted marrow . It was first mentioned in a feudal letter from 1586 as a replacement building for the ailing castle forecourt. Heinrich von Gleißenthal , bailiff and Merseburg cathedral provost, sold what was known as the “Rittergut Gräfenhainichen” in 1600 after 1612 to Hans Georg von Müchi , who was enfeoffed in 1618. In 1694 Christoph von Müuellen sold the estate to Christian Siegmund Plötz. Because the Gräfenhainichen Castle fell in desolation during the Thirty Years' War , the Strohwalde Vorwerk became a residence and the property took its name.

The Saxon rent chamber acquired the property back from the Plötz family in 1750 and converted it into a chamber property that was subordinate to the Graefenhainichen office / rent office . Strohwalde remained a Saxon, from 1815 Prussian fiscal property and was still an independent estate in 1929. After Gräfenhainichen was ceded to Prussia in 1815, it belonged to the Province of Saxony until 1945 .
