NN high Lindenberg above the Koberbach valley in the hamlet of Rußdorf north of the town of Rußdorf (north of the street Am Lindenberg 1 ), today part of the Blankenhain district of the large district town of Crimmitschau in the district of Zwickau in Saxony on the northwestern border with the district of Altenburger Land in the Free State of Thuringia .
history
Little is known about the Kleinburg. The weir system was built in the course of the country's expansion in the 12th and 13th centuries. 1304 was first mentioned in the course of the acquisition of interest at the Rußdorf chapel by the Grünhain monastery , in which a knight Ericus de Rulandesdorf was named dictus de Ponicz . In 1372, the Gries family is named as village and castle owners, who are the castle men of the bailiffs of Weida and Plauen . The formerly wooden weir system seems to have been replaced by a stone castle in the 14th century. Then the trace is lost in the story.
Around 1800, the former manor of the town of Rußdorf was built from the remains of the walls of the castle ruins . At the end of the 19th century there were reports of wall remains on the Lindenberg. In 1927 excavations are said to have taken place in the castle area. Today only earth walls and remains of moats on the castle stables are evidence of the former castle complex.
