history

The place name Schlößchen shows that the northern settlement is not a farm, but a manor settlement in the immediate vicinity of a castle-like building.

The place was from 1791 to 1856 Amtsdorf of the Amt Augustusburg .

After 1792 the place consisted of three now two spatially separated locations:

  • "Vorderschlössel" with the manor and fish ponds,
  • "Hinterschlössel" with cemetery, town hall, school and slipper factory. This locality was only created after 1792. and
  • Wilisch Valley with Schlösselmühle and paper mill. In 1821 August Schumann named 15 houses in a row above the Wilisch valley in the Staatslexikon. The connecting settlement from the Wilisch came into being at the end of the 20th century.

The school was built in 1896 and teaching was finally discontinued in 1972.

Between 1925 and 1937, a central water supply was built.

In 1992 the branch of the Penig paper mill was reprivatised.

On January 1, 1994, the municipality of Amtsberg was newly formed from the previously independent municipalities of Schlößchen, Weißbach and Dittersdorf.

In 1995 the special paper factory Wilischthal GmbH and the house shoe factory were shut down.

Manor

Nestled at the source basin of Hörkelbach Good was to the 16th century Vorwerk of Zschopauer castle . The first mention of the estate dates back to February 9, 1560, when Elector August his chief hunter Cornelius from Rüxleben " the Forwergk Borssendorf located in our Ambte Schellenbergk above the Zschopa " through suitable with all uses.

From the manor there are still three buildings erected at right angles to one another. The two larger ones were farm buildings.

The smaller, eponymous tower house ("Schlösschen") has a mansard roof and an octagonal stair tower with a Welscher hood as special features . Two arched portals allow the building to be dated to the second half of the 16th century. In 2009 there was a complete renovation and conversion under private sponsorship into a day-care center and meeting place.

The fish house, a stable building, the gate and brick barns and the mansion, which was probably built in the 18th century, were demolished on the orders of the SMAD in 1947 after the last private owner of the property, Karl Franz Anton Philipp , expropriated and expelled as part of the land reform in October 1945 and the approximately 140 hectares of land were divided between 14 new farmers .

The manor also included the Schlösselmühle , an oil and grinding mill on the banks of the Wilisch . This was later included in the now dilapidated Wilischthal paper mill.
