history
The pastureland at Haselbach belonged to Schloss Kochberg . It was a rampart protected by a rampart, moat and bastions and was named in a file in 1428 as "Kuhfraß". Hardly any of these fortifications are left today. James Patrick Parry was the name of the rich Irishman who, as the husband of Luise v. Stein (granddaughter of Charlotte von Stein ) was accepted after he bought a title of nobility from the Duke of Altenburg . He built the “Hirschhügel” castle. The name Hirschgrund for Haselbachtal, Hirschbrunnen for Eichenborn and Hirschwiese were coined by him. The "Luisenturm" in Kleinkochberg is named after Luise . In 1892 Count Henckel von Donnersmarck inherited the property. In 1941 a children's home was set up in the “New House”. In 1945 the castle and property were expropriated without compensation.
The castle became a retirement home and psychiatric facility, now (2010) it is a retirement home of a social welfare organization. The historically renovated hunting lodge with a spacious park area of around eight hectares is used as a socio-therapeutic support facility for 125 guests. Outdoor living groups are located in the Saale valley in the village of Etzelbach .
In 1994/95, the remaining mobile inventory was returned to the Henckel von Donnersmarck family, who signed a permanent loan agreement with the Weimar Classic Foundation . This included paintings, graphics, art objects, furniture and 39 Goethe drawings.
