history
On January 20, 1548, the Chancellor Dr. Gregorius Brück by Elector Moritz of Saxony a . a. to the fiefdom the village village of Nudersdorff with all rights and with the hare hunt on the same village marckten . Moritz had become the new sovereign of the Electorate of Saxony with the acquisition of the electoral dignity and renewed the fief that had already been given by Duke Friedrich of Saxony when Brück acquired the goods from Bernhard Brambach, citizen of Wittenberg.
There was no mention of a manor in the true sense of the word in the aforementioned loan letter. A property made up of two wings adjoining at right angles must first have been built by Gregor Brück. The estate also had a paper mill, which Gregor Brück's son of the same name sold to Dr. Veit Winsheim from Wittenberg sold.
In 1592 Nudersdorf was already owned by representatives of the von Leipzig family . In 1622 Wilhelm Löser acquired the Nudersdorf estate from the heirs of the late Friedrich von Leipzig. The estate in Nudersdorf is said to have been "demolished" during the Thirty Years' War . In 1654 Ludomilla Löser undertook that Guth Nuderßdorff would again be awarded and to cede to Georg Heinrich Löser on Kropstädt . From this point on, the ownership of the Nudersdorf and Kropstädt estates was linked, and representatives of the Löser family regularly renewed the fiefs at the Lehnhof Dresden until the beginning of the 18th century . After the death of Georg Heinrich Löser, the three brothers Wilhelm Heinrich, Eustachius and the wolf Adam Löser, who lived abroad, did so. Their cousin Magnus Löser († 1693) also had a share in Gut Nudersdorf.
In 1704, Wilhelm Heinrich Löser took over the estate as the sole owner, after he had already taken care of its structural renovation in the external appearance that is still present today (Wappenstein from 1703). Wilhelm Heinrich Löser died in 1709 without leaving any children of his own. His two brothers Eustachius and Wolf Adam therefore inherited the estate. Since the latter continued to live abroad, Eustachius became the new heir and court lord on Nudersdorf. He died on January 23, 1732, and his two sons Jost Heinrich and Eustachius Friedrich Löser inherited the estate. Since they were in military service, they sold it in 1738 to the Hofrat and Ordinarius zu Wittenberg, Dr. jur. Augustin Leyser . The ennobled Leyser died on May 4, 1752 in Wittenberg without leaving any living sons. As requested he was on the 9th of M. buried in Nudersdorf. The property then fell to the Braunschweig-Lüneburg Higher Appeal Council Friedrich Wilhelm von Leyser zu Celle . After Leyser died on July 15, 1766, his two sons Friedrich Wilhelm and Georg Ludwig von Leyser took over the Nudersdorf estate. The latter left his share of the estate to his older brother in 1767. Friedrich Wilhelm von Leyser died unmarried on April 3, 1784 in Celle and had bequeathed the estate to his nephew August Wilhelm Friedrich von Leyser , born in 1771, in his will . He became a captain in the Garde du Corps and in 1803 achieved the conversion of the Mannlehn into a hereditary property. Leyser, meanwhile promoted to Saxon major general and cavalry brigadier , sold the manor Nudersdorf , which had been in the Kingdom of Prussia since 1815, to the Prussian forest master Alexander Ferdinand von Erdmannsdorf in the same year .
On November 18, 1840, the Allodial -Rittergut Nudersdorf was auctioned with the highest bidder to the economic inspector Christian Meyer from Wiesenburg , who acquired the estate on behalf of the Saxon chamberlain and manor owner Curt Friedrich Gottlob von Watzdorf from Wiesenburg. Watzdorf died on April 14, 1848, and his widow and children inherited the estate. They sold it on April 4, 1849 to the bailiff Johann Friedrich Pfau from Lobstädt near Borna , who later lived in Anger near Leipzig. Pfau left it to the brothers Gustav and Karl Wilhelm Luther in 1850. They built a bathhouse here. A sulfur-containing spring was discovered and the water was piped to the bathhouse. The bath became famous and had more and more visitors from year to year. The industrial boom (mining of coal and clay, handicrafts, trade) in Nudersdorf caused the baths to cease.
Nudersdorf Castle has been used as a school since 1945, initially as a village school in Nudersdorf, later as a 10-class, at times also multi-class Polytechnic High School Nudersdorf.
In 1992 the castle became the seat of the South Fleming administrative association . The primary school in Nudersdorf (grades 1–4) was integrated. The building and the forecourt were renovated. A historical castle festival takes place every summer.
In 2005 Nudersdorf was incorporated into Lutherstadt Wittenberg, so that the castle is no longer the seat of the administrative community of South Fleming. However, the seat of the citizens' office remains.
In 2006 the castle was re-used when the primary school moved to the second floor and the Nudersdorf youth club moved into the south wing of the castle.
