history

In a document from 1376 the place is mentioned as Wyldenow . On December 13th of the same year, and also on January 16, 1377, Duke Wenzel of Saxony approved donations for a newly built altar in Herzberg . The village had to deliver grain and meat, which the donors of the altar bought from the previous owner of this income, a Mathias von der Dahme. In 1419 the village and the manor Wildenau were owned by Heinrich von Kockeritz . In 1474 the place is mentioned as a divided village. The brothers Köckritz and Johann Draendorff share the place. In 1482 and 1487 a knight Christoph von Leipzk then acquired both parts. Wildenau remained in the possession of the von Leipzig (er) family until 1799.

On June 12, 1802, Friedrich Alexander von Sommerlatt bought the Wildenau manor from Sommerlatt. Until 1815 the place was in the Electorate of Saxony . After the Congress of Vienna and the Vienna Final Act , the place went to Prussia . In 1846 the estate became the property of the then chief magistrate Fritz Langenstrasse. He was murdered here on January 18, 1851. He is followed by his son-in-law Wilhelm Müller, who sells the estate to Wilhelm Junge for 185,000  thalers . The last owner of the manor was his son Hans. Wildenau had its own patrimonial jurisdiction until 1848 .
