history

In 1122, Bishop Otto von Bamberg announced that he had started building the Aura Monastery in 1108 and consecrated it five years later. At that time he had it heavily endowed, including villula nomine Warta in Saxonia sita . Pope Eugene III. confirmed the possessions of the Aura monastery in 1150, including Warta quae iuxta fluvium Unstrat sita est .

Huch de Warda first appeared in 1168 as a witness to the Bishop of Naumburg . In 1171 he was called Hugo de Wartha . In the following year he was named Knight of the Pleißenland , Hugo (nis) de Wartha , in the entourage of the Bishop of Naumburg , then in 1173 as Hugo de Warda , 1180 Hugo de Warte / Warthe , 1183 Hugo de Warta . In the last year mentioned the noble Hugo von Warta appeared for the last time in a document.

He must have been the father of Hugo iunior de Warda , who appeared as a witness in the presence of Emperor Friedrich I in Altenburg in 1188 and worked as Canon Hugo von Warta at the bishopric of Naumburg from 1190 to 1206 . Almost simultaneously with him was Hugo von Scheidingen (1197/1271) as canon .

The von Warta are considered the founders of Waldenburg (Saxony) and became lords of Waldenburg .

Wart (h) a became desolate as early as the late Middle Ages. In 1834, the pastor of Thalwinkel received his tithe from the desert Mark Warta, whose corridor was marked with malt stones. Most of the former corridor of Wart (h) a was assigned to Golzen and redistributed there in 1858 in the course of the separation .
