In 1265 the monastery bought a mountain near Teitzig from the von Kaltenborn brothers, abandoned it to the Lords of Colditz and transferred it to the monastery because a mill is to be built in Lastau. The gentlemen of Colditz, in consultation with their mill owner in Colditz, promised not to allow any further mills between Lastau and Colditz. The Margrave of Meissen confirmed this contract and took the goods under his protection. The brothers were allowed to operate a fish trap in their weir to catch pike. The margrave also asserted rights in the territory of the Lords of Colditz.
