history
The formerly independent small settlement Leipnitz on today's outskirts of Dahlenberg, today also known as House Leipnitz , emerged from a manor that was given to Lehn at the Lehnhof Dresden and later at the Higher Regional Court of Naumburg . The manor arose in the late Middle Ages from a farm and was initially owned by the Löser family. In 1618 the aristocratic family from Leipzig acquired the estate, which owned it for almost the entire Thirty Years War and then in 1644 left it to Johann Levin von Bennigsen . Wolf Erich von Bennigsen took over the manor after his death. He was followed by Gustav Adolf von Bennigsen , who left the estate as Lieutenant General Adam Friedrich Brand von Lindau . In view of the lack of his own sons, Brand von Lindau sold the estate to the Trotta family called Treyden in 1772 . The last daughter of this family married a Mr. von Tzschirsky. In 1823 Otto Engelbrecht became the new landlord until it came to the Counts of Alten in 1846 .
