Henry VII, who ruled from 1285 to 1326 (?), Was a friend of the German Emperor Ludwig IV of Bavaria. When he visited him in Arnstadt in 1323, he persuaded him to ask the Thuringian landgrave Friedrich of Thuringia (son-in-law of Ludwig) to allow him to build a castle in Plaue. This was granted by Friedrich von Thuringia to Henry VII on July 12, 1324. The document has been preserved in the State Archives (Wikipedia).
