After the split of the Counts of Solms-Laubach, who resided in Baruth / Mark , in 1615, the class was named Solms-Baruth , after the town of Baruth / Mark, which received Magdeburg city charter shortly before the start of the Thirty Years War in 1616 . The Baruth Castle was built after the 1,671th The family later rounded off the rule around Schloss Golßen and Schloss Casel (in Kasel-Golzig ).
The caste domination belonged to 1815 to Saxony and fell after the Congress of Vienna in Prussia . The Prussian representative at this congress was Prince Karl August von Hardenberg and his assistant was Count zu Solms-Sonnewalde.
