Schönburg (also Schumburg; Czech: ze Šumburka or as the word "Schönburger": "Šumburkové") is the name of an old Saxon - Thuringian noble noble family who also temporarily settled in Bohemia and owned the Schönburg lordships , partly as imperial directors, partly as a Saxon fiefdom. The family belongs to the historical high nobility .

history

The Schönburg on the Saale

The family, first mentioned in 1130 with Ulricus de Schunenberg (Sconenberg) on ​​the Schönburg an der Saale, owned an imperial area in the area of Geringswalde around 1182 , which they ceded to Electoral Saxony in 1590 .

Already in the last quarter of the 12th century, the Lords of Schönburg shifted their dominance from the Saale to the area around the Zwickauer Mulde and, presumably, changed to the Reich Ministry under Hermann I (1212-1224 / 25 occupied) . Like other noble-free and ministerial families, they were able to establish sovereignty in the realm of Pleißen , mainly through clearing . Around 1170 they founded Glauchau Castle . The reliable line of trunks begins with Hermannus de Sconeburg, who appeared in a document from 1212 to 1224. In 1233 Hermann II founded the Benedictine convent Geringswalde , which served as the family's burial place until the Reformation.

For centuries, the Lords of Schönburg determined history in southwest Saxony . Their possessions, the Schönburg lordships , included: Glauchau (owned since 1256), Lichtenstein (since 1286), Waldenburg (since 1378) and the county of Hartenstein (since 1406). While they Hartenstein from the Electorate of Saxony as Empire after feud got that Schönburger carried their three early Reichslehen Glauchau, Lichtenstein and Waldenburg the Czech kings of the House Luxembourg , which also featured the German Emperor, as Reich After fief in order to protect them from the Electorate of Saxony influence. In addition, in the 16th century there were the Saxon feudal lords of Penig and Wechselburg (since 1543) and Rochsburg (since 1548), which fell to the Schönburgers in exchange for the lords of Lohmen , Wehlen and Hohnstein . The entire goods had at times a circumference of 16 square miles with 14 cities and 61,000 inhabitants. The largest part was thus Reichsafterlehen , the rest of the property was Electoral Saxon fiefdom.

As early as the late Middle Ages, the Schönburg rulers were divided up variously (among others between the Glauchauer, from around 1300 the Crimmitschauer and the Bohemian Pürsteiner line). In contrast, the fraternal divisions of 1524 and 1556 only provided for a division of use, while the enfeoffments were always made in full and the joint government in Glauchau was adhered to. From then on, the family split into the main lines Glauchau (until 1610), Waldenburg (later also referred to as the Upper - from 1790 princely - line and divided into the branches Waldenburg and Hartenstein) and Penig (who inherited Glauchau in 1610), the latter also as the Lower (Graefliche ) Line known. The branches remained connected as the "entire house", which was regulated in more detail in family contracts of 1556 and 1566. The government of the entire house changed annually between the three lines. Since no primogeniture order was issued, further branches were temporarily formed in the early modern period.

The Lords of Schönburg belonged to the imperial estates of the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation , and to the estates of the Saxon electors and the kings of Bohemia . The imperial estate was exercised by the Counts of Schönburg as members of the Wetterauischen Counts College .

As a result of the territorial changes in Saxony and Thuringia after the Wittenberg surrender in 1547, the Schönburger Land (white, from Waldenburg to Hartenstein) was transformed from a border buffer between Ernestines and Albertines to an island in the Albertine electorate. Only the Altenburger Land came back to the Ernestines in 1554.

Under Ernst I (1480–1489) and Ernst II († 1534), both urbanism and mining were promoted; the mining towns of Hohenstein , Scheibenberg and Oberwiesenthal are their founding. After the death of Ernst II. In 1534, the guardianship government introduced the Reformation in the Schoenburg dominions from 1542 . Since the county of Hartenstein, in contrast to the other rulers, was an Electoral Saxon Reichsafter fief, the Reformation was introduced there as early as 1539/40 and thus three years earlier than in the then Bohemian Reich afterfeiters Glauchau, Lichtenstein and Waldenburg. Georg II. Herr von Schönburg-Waldenburg (1558–1611) and Wolfgang II. Herr von Schönburg-Penig (1532–1581) signed the concord formula of 1577 and the concord book of 1580. The property of the monastery of Geringswalde , which was abolished during the Reformation , where 1566 –1568 a Schönburgische Landesschule existed, passed to Electoral Saxony in 1590.

Since the 17th century there has been a growing burden of debt, inheritance divisions and tensions within the family. The result was multiple attacks by the Electorate of Saxony on the Schoenburg rulers, including 1617 after Otto Wilhelm's murder by his brother Wolf Ernst (1582–1622) at Hinterglauchau Castle. Under Georg Ernst (1601–1664), peasant riots began in 1652 with refusals of compulsory labor , which flared up again and again until 1684. Christian Ernst (1655–1718) founded the city of Ernstthal in 1679/80 . On August 7, 1700, Emperor Leopold I raised the entire Schönburg house to the rank of imperial count with the salutation high and well-born .

The Lords and Counts of Schönburg, as one of only a few Saxon gentlemen's families, managed to maintain a special constitutional position compared to the Electorate of Saxony and thus a limited sovereignty with their own state structures until the 18th century . In a recession with the Saxon Elector on May 4, 1740, after lengthy negotiations with the Minister Heinrich Graf von Brühl , they waived most of the autonomy rights resulting from the imperial immediacy. In the decades that followed, the Schönburg dominions were gradually integrated into the electoral state. Glauchau , Lichtenstein / Sa. , Waldenburg (Saxony) , Hartenstein and Stein gradually became part of the Saxon state as Schönburg recess lords after the 1740 recession , while Remse , Penig , Rochsburg and Wechselburg have always been fiefdoms and offices of the Electorate of Saxony. In 1768 the entire Schönburg family tried to reverse the process. A conflict arose which led to military action as part of the War of the Bavarian Succession ("Glauchau War"); However, in the Peace of Teschen in 1779, Electoral Saxony obtained from Maria Theresa as the Bohemian queen the lordship rights over the Schoenburg recession rule and thus finally prevailed as the sole sovereign.

Otto Karl Friedrich Graf von Schönburg was raised to the rank of prince by Emperor Leopold II on the day of his coronation, October 9, 1790 . Since Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, the members of the so-called sex "were lords ", so families with formerly sovereign ruler violence that had largely lost its sovereign rights, however, the still reigning houses par remained. In 1818, the House of Schönburg applied to the German Federal Assembly to determine its rights to be exercised with the German Confederation , in particular with regard to voting rights. In 1828, however, the Federal Assembly only granted the personal and family rights of the imperial families mediated in 1806 . Since 1831, the entire house had two seats in the First Chamber of the Estates Assembly of the Kingdom of Saxony . After the transition of the Kingdom of Saxony to a constitutional monarchy with the constitution of September 4, 1831, an explanatory process was concluded between the Saxon government and the House of Schönburg, which modified the recess of 1740 and was placed under the protection of the German Confederation in 1836. Although he established a limited life of its own for the Schönburg rulers, he accelerated the process of integration into the Saxon state. During the revolution of 1848 , Waldenburg Castle was looted and burned down.

The German Courts Constitution Act of 1877 completely repealed patrimonial courts for Germany. On December 1, 1878, on the basis of a further recession, the Saxon government took over full judicial and administrative sovereignty over the Schoenburg rule. After that, the princes and counts of Schönburg were no longer bearers of state sovereignty, except for their special status as noblemen and members of the First Chamber. However, they kept their extensive estates with castles, commercial enterprises and art assets. The Hartenstein and Fordglauchau lines converted to Catholicism in the 19th century, while the Waldenburg line remained Protestant. The house of Schönburg shaped culture and economy in parts of south-west Saxony and northern Bohemia for many centuries. Article 51 of the Constitution of the Free State of Saxony of November 1, 1920 read: “The special rights under public law of the Schönburg and Solms -Wildenfels houses are abolished.” In the course of the land reform of September 1945, the family was expropriated and expelled without compensation. After German reunification , a branch of the Hartenstein line returned to the Schönburger Land and acquired Stein Castle in Hartenstein and the Old Castle in Penig .

Possessions
Map of the district Zwickau with red labeled municipality of Waldenburg, adjacent the other post in the beautiful burg dominions lying places Remse, Oberwiera (shares), Schoenberg, Meerane, Dennheritz, Crimmitschau, Glauchau Callenberg, St. Egidien, Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Oberlungwitz, Bernsdorf, Gersdorf, Lichtenstein, Mülsen, Hartenstein, thus roughly the northeastern half of today's district.

The areas once ruled by the House of Schönburg were lined up like a crescent moon in an elongated north-south semicircle on both sides of the Zwickau Mulde . They formed a "corridor" between the Saxon cities of Zwickau and Chemnitz . From north to south: the rulers of Wechselburg and Penig (both today in the district of Central Saxony ), then in today's district of Zwickau (whose coat of arms combines the Schönburg with that of the Pleißenland ) the areas known as the Schönburg recession : Schönburg- Waldenburg , Schönburg- Glauchau , Schönburg- Lichtenstein , to the east of it the mountain villages of Hohenstein-Ernstthal founded by the family , then the Stein rule and the Hartenstein county , the southernmost part of which (the Crottendorf department in today's Ore Mountains district , with the silver mines of Oberwiesenthal and Scheibenberg also built by the Schönburgers) ) Was sold to Kursachsen in 1559.

The Schönburg house came into the possession of the Glauchau area around 1170 . From there, they were the direct imperial dominions Glauchau (since 1256) and Lichtenstein (since 1286) and obtained as a result of a testamentary agreement with the Forest burgers 1378 located at a ford on the river Mulde Waldenburg , including town and surrounding area. By lending these areas to the Bohemian king, which formally existed until 1779, state sovereignty was guaranteed vis-à-vis the Electorate of Saxony . In 1406, the county of Hartenstein , which was also directly imperial (but without the rule of Wildenfels ), was pledged to the House of Schönburg by the Meissnian burgrave Heinrich I von Hartenstein , but as early as 1439 as an electoral fief. In 1524, the "Entire House" Schönburg with the seat of government Glauchau was set up in order to prevent the fall of the Schönburg rule in the event of future partitions and to ensure uniform representation to the outside world. After the secularization of the possession of the 1143 founded, direct imperial went monastery Remse , located between Waldenburg and Glauchau, by purchase in 1543 in the possession of the Lords of Schönburg over.

In 1681 the rule of Glauchau was divided into the partial dominions of Fordglauchau and Hinterglauchau . From 1683 to 1763 Fordglauchau was again divided into a Penigschen and a Wechselburger portion. With the death of Otto Ludwig von Schönburg in 1701 and the inheritance contract of his four sons entitled to inheritance, the Stein rule was formed in 1702 from part of the Hartenstein county.

Your distinctive buildings in these areas are Castle Ford- and Hinterglauchau , Castle Hartenstein , Castle Waldenburg , Castle Stein in Hartenstein and Castle Lichtenstein as well as Rochsburg, which was rebuilt in 1549 .

Neuschönburg ruins , Egertal

In Bohemia, the Schönburg family owned, among other things, the possessions of Šumburk (Neuschönburg, early 15th century), Eidlitz , Hagensdorf , Hassenstein , Měděnec , Kaaden , Pürstein , Schatzlar and Trautenau (late 15th / early 16th century). From 1437 to 1567 the estate of Hoyerswerda was also owned by the Schönburgers.

Lines

In the 16th century, the entire house was divided into an upper line (a count since 1700 and a princely one since 1790) and a lower line (a count since 1700). To this day, the princely line exists in the branches Schönburg-Waldenburg and Schönburg-Hartenstein and the counts as the Schönburg-Glauchau line .

The Upper Lusatian noble family von der Kosel was a bastard line going back to the unnamed sons of Wenzel von Schönburg auf Hoyerswerda († 1523), Wanke and Georg, which was named after the manor Cosel .

Princely line

The progenitor of the upper line is Hugo, Mr. von Schönburg zu Glauchau and Waldenburg (1529–1585). In 1700 the entire house was raised to the rank of imperial count. Count Otto Karl Friedrich (1758–1800) was raised to the rank of imperial prince on October 9, 1790 , the head of the line carried the title of prince, those born after the title of prince or princess with the salutation Highness . In 1813 there was a division of property between two sons:

1st branch: Schönburg-Waldenburg

Prince Otto Viktor (1785–1859) founded the Schönburg-Waldenburg branch with headquarters at Waldenburg Castle and Lichtenstein Castle and shares in Hartenstein and Stein. From the 19th century onwards, the Waldenburger Ast owned a number of landlords in other Central German areas: from 1839 Droyßig Castle (in the Burgenland district), Guteborn Castle (Silesian Upper Lusatia), Gauernitz Castle (Meißen district), and from 1852 Belgershain Castle (Leipzig district) ), from 1856 Hermsdorf Castle (Bautzen district) and Pomßen Castle (Leipzig district) from the end of the 19th century . Furthermore, the Upper Franconian Schwarzenbach Castle (on the Saale) with the Förbau manor . After the House of Wettin, the princes of Schönburg-Waldenburg were considered to be the largest Saxon landowners with 8,640 hectares of agriculture and forestry. In the 19th century they owned the Palais Vitzthum-Schönburg in the royal seat of Dresden .

The Waldenburg main branch on Waldenburg , Lichtenstein , Belgershain and Pomßen went out with Prince Günther in 1960. Otto Victor's second son Hugo (1822-1897) founded the secondary branch Droyssig , which went out with his grandson Hugo (1910-1942) in the male line. His third son Georg (1828–1900) was resident in Hermsdorf , his sons Hermann (1865–1943) in Hermsdorf, Grünberg and Schneeberg and Ulrich Georg (1869–1939) in Guteborn (Silesian Upper Lusatia); the latter branch still exists, today's line head is Ulrich Fürst von Schönburg-Waldenburg (* 1940). Otto Victor's youngest son Karl Ernst (1836–1915) donated the Gauernitz branch (near Meißen), with a neighboring seat at Schwarzenbach Castle (on the Saale) ; (illegitimate) descendants of this branch still live in Tahiti .

2nd branch: Schönburg-Hartenstein

Friedrich Alfred (1786–1840), younger brother of Prince Otto Viktor von Schönburg-Waldenburg, was raised to Prince von Schönburg-Hartenstein; after he died childless, his younger brother Heinrich Eduard (1787–1872), who lived in Austria, inherited the title and the ownership shares in Hartenstein and Stein. He founded the Schönburg-Hartenstein branch , a Catholic since 1822. In 1835 he acquired the Červená Lhota (Roth-Lhotta) castle in southern Bohemia , which remained in the family until 1945. His son, Prince Alexander (1826–1896), and his son Alois (1858–1944) were important Austrian statesmen and generals and from 1838 for a short time also in the Hohenwang (Styria) rule , further on the Achensee and from 1843 in the Moravian Gundrum resident. Vienna's residence was the Schönburg Palace since 1841 . Around 1870–1880 they briefly owned Enzesfeld Castle in Enzesfeld-Lindabrunn in Lower Austria.

Today's head is Johannes Fürst von Schönburg-Hartenstein (* 1951), his eldest son is Aloys (* 1982). The younger brother, Alfred Prince von Schönburg-Hartenstein (* 1953), has been President of the Association of German Aristocratic Associations since 2008 and has been the owner of Stein Castle in Hartenstein since 1996 through repurchase ; In 2014 he also acquired the old castle in Penig .

Counts line Schönburg-Glauchau

The lower line was founded by Wolf II, lord of Schönburg zu Glauchau and Waldenburg (1532–1581), who had been lord of Penig , Wechselburg and Rochsburg since 1566 . The sons of Wolf III. (1556–1612) founded the branches Penig-Rochsburg and Wechselburg. As the oldest line in the general sex who Glauchauer, 1610 extinct, the rule fell Glauchau to the lower line, the Penig-Roch Burger branch Forderglauchau took over, which in the 18th century in Penig-Forderglauchau and Rochsburg (announced in 1900 again united), while the Wechselburg branch owned Hinterglauchau, also as a summer residence from 1805 Castle Gusow (Mark) and from 1858 also Schloss Netzschkau in Vogtland. In 1878, King Albert of Saxony awarded all members of the Count's line the title " Exalted ".

With the death of the childless Count Richard Clemens von Schönburg-Hinterglauchau (1829–1900), the entire property of the count's line was reunited, in the hands of the Fordglauchau branch, which had been Catholic since 1869. Under Joachim von Schönburg-Glauchau (1873–1943) and his son Carl Graf von Schönburg-Glauchau (1899–1945), the Glauchau double castle was largely left to the city for use as a museum; the Peniger castles were used as courtrooms until they were sold in 1889. Official and administrative headquarters used and the Rochsburg as a museum and youth hostel. The place of residence was Wechselburg Castle . Joachim Graf von Schönburg-Glauchau (1929–1998) was expelled with his mother and siblings in 1945 and expropriated without compensation. His younger son, the journalist and writer Alexander Graf von Schönburg-Glauchau (* 1969) is the current line manager of the Glauchau Schönburgs.

Joint possessions and titles, division contracts and house contracts

Already in the Middle Ages, the Schönburgers had shared ownership, for example, of the rule Glauchau (central administrative seat) and Geringswalde (house monastery of the Schönburgers and probably their first castle in the Mulden valley). Therefore, it came about during the Schoenburg Fratricidal War (1347–1355) that the Schoenburgers of Hassenstein Castle in 1349 in an inheritance dispute between the Glauchau brothers Hermann VIII († 1356) and Friedrich XI. († 1389) for the inheritance of her brother Dietrich II, who had entered the Teutonic Order. Soldiers marched to Glauchau.

Joint ownership and the titles attached to it were also determined in the case of later divisions of inheritance or contracts of division. All persons involved in the notarization were allowed to call themselves, for example, "Herr zu Glauchau and Waldenburg" if the lords of Glauchau and Waldenburg were stipulated as joint property in a division agreement, but also if they did not own a share of this rule. Friedrich XI. von Schönburg calls himself for the first time in 1378 "Lord of Glauchau and Waldenburg" . Such division contracts and other house contracts have been handed down for the years 1431 ( Pürstein line ), 1446 (Glauchau jointly owned), 1524, 1556 (division contract, Hartenstein and Geringswalde joint property), 1582 (division of the lordships of Hartenstein, Lichtenstein and Waldenburg), 1639 (Division of the rule of Hartenstein into Hartenstein and Stein), 1681 (division of the rule of Glauchau into Fordglauchau and Hinterglauchau), 1683 (division of the rule of Fordglauchau into Peniger and Wechselburger part), 1701/1702 (division of the Waldenburg line into the branches Waldenburg, Lichtenstein , Hartenstein and Stein), 1707.

coat of arms

Family coat of arms

The family coat of arms is divided diagonally right three times by red and silver. On the helmet is a flight that is labeled like the shield. The helmet cover is red-silver.

Occasionally there are also three red diagonal bars, especially with alliance coats of arms, where the coat of arms symbols were traditionally shown "facing each other".

The first known depiction of the Schönburger coat of arms can be found on the foundation deed of the Benedictine convent Geringswalde , the Schönburg house monastery , dated January 2, 1233. This is also the first documented mention of the Schönburgers from Muldenland . The coat of arms has not survived from the earlier Schönburgers who were wealthy near Naumburg and Merseburg.

On the gate wings of Fordglauchau Castle (east gate) and in the ballroom (Blue Hall) of Waldenburg Castle , Schoenburg coats of arms can be seen, which are underlaid with the imperial eagle (as in other ruling count or princely houses or also in free imperial cities ) as a sign of imperial immediacy .

Since Emperor Leopold II appointed the Waldenburg line to the imperial princes in 1790, the entire Schönburg family has been allowed to crown its coat of arms with a princess hat decorated with Hermelin, and the great family coat of arms, as with all houses of the high nobility, is surrounded by a coat of arms .

The Schoenburg coat of arms was added to the coats of arms of the cities of Glauchau and Lichtenstein as well as the district of Zwickau:

Heraldic saga

In the last battle that Charlemagne fought against the Saxon Duke Wittekind, he was harassed. Most of his companions had already fallen, and he alone withstood the onslaught of the enemy. Suddenly a piece of rock thrown with a strong hand hit his shield. The shield shattered and Karl only had his sword for defense. Then one of his fallen companions rose and handed him his shield. No sooner had he covered himself with it than help approached and the battle could be won. He was able to find his savior alive and recognized him as a Schönburg. Until then, he only had a simple silver shield with no gem. Karl touched the bleeding wound with the ring, middle and index finger of his right hand and stroked the silver-colored shield twice, so that it was adorned with two red stripes. He said: "Schonburg, from now on this will be your symbol, your blood the coat of arms of your house."

There are also other versions of the Schönburg coat of arms saga.

Coats of arms of older lines

According to a booklet from 1981, the much older "Eastern-Thuringian" line, with its first traditional representative Ulrich von Schönburg: "Ulricus de Schunenburg" (first mentioned in 1130, last mentioned in 1166 or died), used a completely different coat of arms. They had a lying St. Andrew's cross in their shield. The line mentioned was the one on the Schönburg near Naumburg . They are also said to have owned in the diocese of Merseburg until it was sold in 1394. (This cannot refer to the Schoenburg- Crimmitschau line from Pleißenland , which died out around 1413 on the male side. This also had the well-known Schoenburg coat of arms "alternately striped diagonally in red and white", as the coat of arms of the city of Crimmitschau proves) Other books, however, claim the coat of arms of the Thuringian Schönburger is not known, so it is unknown.

Schoenburg state flag

Several watercolors created around 1867 by the Dresden landscape painter Wilhelm Gebhardt (1827–1893), in his portfolio Die Schoenburgschen Schloesser , show red and white waving flags on various palaces of the house, e.g. B. on the castles Fordglauchau, Hinterglauchau and Waldenburg. Either a central horizontal (halved) divided flag is shown, one half of which (usually the upper half) is white and the other half red, or a horizontal flag is shown in three equally high stripes (i.e. three-part). This then has two red horizontal bars (above and below) and one white horizontal (central) “bar”. A black and white reproduction of such old representations is on the cover of the booklet Schönburgische Geschichte, Eine Zeittafel (2005). The flags shown here are also highlighted in text: “ In Saxony's colors, simple and pure, a red-and-white banner is looped in, light is blowing from Schönburg's wreath of castles and the like. is reflected in the hollow shine! ".

The Glauchau city flag, which is still common today, was evidently derived from the flag, which is horizontally divided into two halves (white / red), by adding the Glauchau city coat of arms in the middle.

Notes on older literature about the house

Initially initiated in part by the Counts and Princes of Schönburg themselves, specialist books and book series / prints on the history of the Schönburgers, their lordships and residences, the Reformation in Schönburg or the desert and much more were published towards the end of the 19th century

On April 26, 1893, the Schönburg archive secretary Dr. Giefel and his colleague Theodor Schön (1855–1911) commissioned to write a story for the House of Schönburg . Between 1901 and 1910 Theodor Schön published eight volumes and a supplement to the document book of the House of Schönburg in Waldenburg / Saxony. This literature is also named as a history of the princely and ducal Gesa mm thauses Schoenburg. Document book of the Lords of Schönburg . Supplementary volume no. 108 is said not to have been published in bookshops. In 1911 Otto Ackermann published in Weida / Thuringia the philosophical dissertation "The Development of Agriculture on the Vorwerke of the Schönburg Lordship of Wechselburg and Penig from the 16th Century to the Present" (at the University of Leipzig).

Some publications appeared in Waldenburg under the influence of the royal court there and its regular "Waldenburg Round Table" (1921–1931 and 1936–1939). Other publications appeared in Glauchau or Meerane. To be mentioned here are:

  • From Schönburgische Landen , at least 7 booklets, Meerane, no year
  • Schönburg house calendar / writing calendar (with scientific articles), Waldenburg, 1865, 1866, 1868, 1913, 1923, 1925, 1926, 1927
  • Schönburgische Geschichtsblätter , Waldenburg, 1894–1900 and 1913–1917
  • Schönburgische Heimatbücher , Glauchau, at least 9 booklets, booklet 9 published in 1936

  • " Paul Fleming and the Schönburg House", Waldenburg 1939, in "Messages from the Schönburg-Waldenburg Family Association Schloss Waldenburg 6, (Ed .: Walter Schlesinger )
  • "Foundation and history of the Geringswalde monastery " (about the Schönburg house monastery !), Waldenburg 1920, (unpublished manuscript from the estate edited by Ernst Eckardt ).

Ernst Eckardt (1819–1892), chronicler of the city of Glauchau:

  • Chronicle of Glauchau (Glauchau 1882), which contains a history of the House of Schönburg as a chapter.

Fritz Resch (1879–1956) was the author of several articles in Die Heimat (supplement to the Glauchauer Zeitung) and Heimatwarte (supplement to the Glauchauer Tagesblatt) as well as in the Schönburgische Geschichtsbl Blätter . He also wrote the articles:

  • "100 years of unified Glauchau", (in: "Die Heimat", Glauchau 1931)

Ultimately, Walter Schlesinger , who was born in Glauchau, should be mentioned:

  • The Schönburg lands up to the end of the Middle Ages (Dissertation Uni Leipzig 1934, published in Dresden 1935)
  • The Schönburg office of Glauchau in the 16th century (Glauchau 1937) and
  • The sovereignty of the Lords of Schönburg (Münster 1954)

The freshly graduated Walter Schlesinger was commissioned by Prince Günther von Schönburg-Waldenburg (1887–1960) to work out the monograph Die Landesherrschaft der Herren von Schönburg . This work was only partially completed.
