Siegfriedsdorf Memorial and Ruins

Do you know Siegfriedsdorf? Not really? That's right, that's not possible. For in 1427 a Hussite army reached the small town and devastated it completely.

Siegfriedsdorf stretched along a small stream near the present federal road 99.

The former village at this point was the "basic foodstuff" for the monastery for centuries and was given to the nuns by Queen Kunigunde in 1234.

For this reason, the Hussites only managed to pillage the village of "Siffridsdorf" on May 11, 1427.
