Slauko V. von Riesenburg

Slauko V. von Riesenburg (Czech Slavko V. z Rýzmburka ) was a Bohemian nobleman from the family of the Hrabischitzer , later Riesenburger .

In the middle of the 14th century, the son of Boresch IV moved together with his brother Boresch the area of ​​their interests from northern to western Bohemia, to the Luditz and Teplá region in the Karlovy Vary region . Their first act was the granting of city rights to the citizens of Buchau through the Treaty of Bečov . Then they sold the Saxon villages Hartmannsdorf , Ammelsdorf and Hasilburn to the Meissen burgrave Meinhart, the gentleman on Frauenstein . The remaining farms in Saxony then went to the Schönberg family in 1352 .

In 1354 King Charles IV granted them the right to free mining, initially for twelve years. From this point in time at the latest, besides Riesenburg, the Bečov fortress became their second residence, from which they managed their business. At the same time there was also a separation of property between the brothers.

The giant burgers also came back to a certain prosperity, as the patronage given to churches and newly founded settlements testify. Slauko belonged to Göhren and localities in the Brüxer and Duxer area.

While his brother pursued his political career in the following years, Slauko devoted himself to the administration of his assets and the further expansion of the mining industry. He also sold some lands such as Ječovice and Sobrusan to the church.

Towards the end of his life, Slauko sold the half of the castle and town of Ossegg that belonged to him as well as Beschau, Burglin and Luditz to his brother Boresch.
