history

Historic inn in Ruderitz

The Waldhufendorf Ruderitz was mentioned in 1418 as Reichartz and the district of Burgstein in the north-western town hall in 1479 as zum Bruckstein . Located in the west of the Vogtland, the villages were owned by the von Sack family from the Vogtland in the 14th century . There is archival evidence of a noble residence on the Burgstein for at least the 1420s (“… that [Edel-] Lewt was sitting at Burckstein [,] they were called the Pucher”). In 1474 a pilgrimage arose on the castle stone after an apparition of Mary , combined with the construction of a pilgrimage chapel (today western castle stone ruins), which belonged to the parish of the neighboring village of Krebes and thus to the diocese of Bamberg . Not least the location directly on the border of the dioceses of Bamberg and Naumburg led to long-term disputes between the two over the presumably considerable income from pilgrimages, which were contractually settled in 1487. The construction of the second, eastern Burgstein church is to be seen in connection with the elevation to an independent parish in 1489 (it would therefore have been the parish church of the new parish). With the implementation of the Reformation in Vogtland and the associated rejection of the Catholic pilgrimage practice, the decline of the double church began. In 1540, the Saxon Elector Johann Friedrich ordered the demolition of both Burgstein sacred buildings, which were not completely demolished but left to decay. The members of the Burgstein parish were referred to the church in the neighboring village of Geilsdorf . In the presence Ruderitz is church gepfarrt Krebes after which a so-called armed Parish was Vogtland border region. In the 15th century there was mining activity on the nearby Plattenberg.

Regarding the manorial rule , Ruderitz was divided into the 19th century. One part of the castle stone belonged to the Geilsdorf manor . Another share was under the Schwand manor . The third part of Ruderitz, as an administrative village, belonged directly to the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Plauen . In 1856, Ruderitz and the Burgstein district became part of the Plauen court office and, in 1875, the Plauen authorities . In the age of romanticism , the castle stone with its two ruins was rediscovered in the 19th century. An inn built on the Burgstein in 1875/77 increased the attractiveness of the place considerably until the beginning of the 1950s and was the meeting point of an illustrious group of artists around the Vogtland painter and graphic artist Hermann Vogel , especially at the beginning of the 20th century .

As a result of the second district reform in the GDR , the municipality of Ruderitz came to the Plauen-Land district in the Chemnitz district in 1952 (renamed the Karl-Marx-Stadt district in 1953 ). With the establishment of the restricted area on the inner-German border , the Burgstein area , which had previously been popular with tourists, was no longer accessible. The last host family on the Burgstein was evicted in 1952 .

On May 16, 1968, Ruderitz was incorporated into Krebes with Burgstein . With the turnaround , Ruderitz and the Burgstein area ended their situation in the restricted area. As part of the municipality of Krebes, Ruderitz belonged to the Saxon district of Plauen from 1990. On January 1, 1994, the Krebes community merged with six other communities to form the Burgstein community, which got its name from the Burgstein mountain. This belonged to the Vogtlandkreis since 1996. With the incorporation of the municipality of Burgstein into the larger municipality of Weischlitz, Krebes with the hamlet of Schwarzenreuth and Ruderitz with the hamlet of Burgstein have formed the Krebes / Ruderitz district of Weischlitz since January 1, 2011.
