history
The area of Zossen was settled as early as the 11th century. On an old trade route that served the salt trade from Poland, a small protective castle can be found from 1038. During the Tatar invasion of 1241, the fortress and settlement were destroyed. The present village can be proven from 1377. Zossen was the seat of a manorial lordship that eventually split into three parts, the castle estate, the sheep farm and the Freihof. From 1478 Zossen was verifiably a pastor, to which the branch church in Braunsdorf was affiliated until 1622 . After the Reformation in the 16th century, the residents became Protestant and were re-Catholicized after their defeat in the Battle of White Mountain.
In 1688 the owner Franziska Helena Freifrau von Tharoulle, née Kotullinsky von Kotulin, sold all three goods to Johann Julius Freiherr von Frobel, landowner in Glatz . The Saxon noble family von Frobel determined life in Zossen for a long time.
In 1725 his son of the same name, Johann Julius von Frobel junior, who had taken over the rule in 1709, had the old church demolished and a baroque building erected in its place. After his death in 1761 Johann Jakob von Frobel became master of Zossen, who built the brewery in 1764 and a stone chapel a year later. In 1772 he had the Frobelhof ( Froblov ) colony laid out in the corridors of the manor . When he died in 1792, his nephew inherited the property. The last patrimonial was Antonia von Eichstätt, born von Wittorf, from 1848 Zossen belonged to the Bennisch district .
After two major fires in 1851 and 1856, it was decided in 1859 to form a volunteer fire brigade . Zossen was known nationwide for the Zossen estate administration's brewery. On July 4, 1928 and May 13, 1929 a storm with pigeon egg-sized hail chimneys and downpours caused severe damage.
The community of Zossen had 857 inhabitants on December 1, 1930, 771 on May 17, 1939 and 413 on May 22, 1974. The German residents were expropriated and expelled in 1945. Until December 31, 2006 Sosnová belonged to the Okres Bruntál .
Attractions
- Parish Church of St. Catherine. The baroque building with extensive ceiling decorations and wall paintings was built between 1725 and 1727 according to plans by the master builder family Gans from Jägerndorf and was declared a national cultural monument. In the church there are valuable epitaphs from earlier landlords, such as that of Johann Stablowsky († 1556) or Dorothea von Schweinichen and Kolbitz († 1577)
- On both sides of the bridge by the church there are two statues depicting St. John Nepomuk and St. Florian, which have been declared cultural monuments.
