history

Wolftitz

Pond with Wolftitz Castle

The area around Wolftitz and Gnandstein had been settled by Sorbs since the 7th century . Around the year 800 they are said to have built the "Wolfsburg", a small, heavily fortified complex to protect them. The place name "Wolftitz" is of Sorbian origin.

In 1102, Margrave Wiprecht von Groitzsch took over Wolfsburg. He commissioned Abbot Windolf from Pegau Monastery to set up Wolfsburg as an abbey . It served to protect the clergy and to spread the Christian faith among the Sorbs. Furthermore, the abbot mill was built away from the castle at the ford over the Wyhra during this time. In 1103 the Franconian village "Eppinhain", to which the mill originally belonged, was built in the meadow of the Wyhra in the immediate vicinity of the Abtmühle. After Eppinhain was completely destroyed by the Hussites in 1430, the mill came to Wolftitz. The "Abthouses" to the east of the Wyhra and north of the Streitwald belong to the Wolftitz corridor. The Abbot Rodebot (also: Radebot) of Wolftitz became the first secular owner of Wolfsburg and of Wolftitz, first mentioned in 1233, through a donation. The von Wolftitz family died out with Gerhard von Wolftitz at the end of the 14th century.

Wolftitz Castle

In 1419 the Wolfsburg and the Wolftitz property were bought by Hildebrand von Einsiedel , the lord of the Gnandstein Castle to the south . He was related by marriage to Kunz von Kauffungen, who is said to have lived in Wolfsburg between 1452 and 1455 with his wife Elisabeth von Einsiedel. After Kunz von Kauffungen became famous in 1455 with the Altenburg prince robbery , he was caught and executed on July 24, 1455 in Freiberg . The father of the two kidnapped Saxon princes, Margrave Friedrich the Meek , demanded that Kunz von Kauffungen's last residence be razed. Wolfsburg was then razed in 1457. The demolition material was released to the population and, among other things, the "Schänke uff`n Berge zu Wolftitz" was built. This building, known today as the “Jägerhaus”, was built on the Sahlis manor by order of Hans Löser .

Between 1460 and 1480, Wolftitz Castle, a knight seat of the Lords of Einsiedel on Gnandstein, was built in the valley . It remained in the possession of various family members of the von Einsiedel family until it was expropriated without compensation in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945. From 1948/49 until 2000 it was used as a retirement and nursing home. The building has been empty since then. The von Einsiedel family recently bought it back along with a forest property.

Streitwald

Streitwald hunting lodge

The settlement "Streitwald" is much younger than Wolftitz. It was only created in the 18th century. The forest area that gave the settlement its name once stretched under the original name " Rochlitzer Wald" from the Wyhra to the Zwickauer Mulde . It belonged together with the Colditzer Wald to the Merseburg Monastery until 974 . Emperor Otto II. (* 955; † 983) donated the Rochlitz Forest to Merseburg Bishop Giselher von Magdeburg (Merseburg Bishop from 971 to 981). Under Emperor Otto III. (* 980; † 1002) came the Rochlitz forest through an exchange to Margrave Ekkehard I , but fell back to the diocese of Merseburg after legal objection by Emperor Heinrich II . In the following years the descendants of the liege lord Ekkehard I complained to the emperor because they liked to hunt in the forests rich in game. They got the forest back, but without hunting rights. Nevertheless, one of the descendants of Ekkehard I had two enclosures built between Rochlitz and Kohren . After Bishop Thietmar von Merseburg found out about it, he had the enclosure largely cut up around Easter 1018. With his death in December 1018, the 21-year-old dispute over the Rochlitz Forest, which has since been called "Streitwald", ended.

In 1748 a settlement was founded in the Streitwald, which took the name of the forest. It was built around the forester's house (later called "Jägerhaus") and at that time only had 56 inhabitants. The manor was at the manor Kleineschefeld -Frohburg.

Common story

The places Wolftitz and Streitwald were until 1856 in the Electoral Saxon and Royal Saxon Office Borna . From 1856 both places belonged to the Frohburg court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration . In 1934 the larger town of Wolftitz with about 250 inhabitants was incorporated into the Streitwald, which has about 50 inhabitants. This was due to the Sorbian origin of the place name of Wolftitz, which was undesirable to the National Socialist rulers at the time. During the second district reform of the GDR in 1952, Streitwald was assigned to the Geithain district in the Leipzig district . The incorporation of Streitwald with its district Wolftitz to Frohburg took place on April 4, 1973.

traffic

Bridge of the federal highway 7 over the Wyhra

The federal highway 7 runs through Streitwald . Between 1906 and 1967 the Wyhratalbahn was in operation, at which Streitwald had a stop. This was originally called "Wolftitz Jägerhaus". The railway line was completely dismantled and is now used as a cycle path .
