Wolkenstein Castle is a high medieval castle that was first mentioned in documents in the 13th century. The town and castle stand on gneiss rocks 80 meters above the Zschopau valley. Wolkenstein owes its existence to the "Berggeschrei" (the cries of the mountain), that is, the discovery of the ore deposits. The settlement and ore mining is older than that of Annaberg-Buchholz.

Like the neighboring villages of Neukirchen and Burkhardtsdorf, Klaffenbach was a tributary village to the Benedictine Abbey of St. Mary in Chemnitz. These villages were sold in 1543 (according to other sources, 1547) to the wealthy Annaberg citizen Wolff Hühnerkopf, owner of several silver mines and master of the mint. He had the moated castle, now known as "Klaffenbach Water Castle" (older name "Neukirchen Castle"), built around 1557. After several changes of ownership, the castle came into the possession of Baron Dietrich von Taube, a court marshal of the Electorate from the Baltic region, in 1615. The castle's current appearance is said to be the result of the reconstruction under Taube beginning in 1616. The castle remained in the possession of the von Taube family for over 200 years. In 1819, the factory owner, merchant, and trader Carl Heinrich Hähnel from Schneeberg acquired the castle complex. The castle subsequently changed hands several times. In 1926, the municipality of Klaffenbach became owner of the manor (the moated castle's farmyard), and from 1934 onward, the moated castle as well. Subsequently, it was used by the Reich Labor Service (from 1935 to 1945) and as a youth correctional facility (1947-1989). After extensive renovation in the 1990s, the castle and its adjacent farmyard were converted into a cultural meeting place. Other buildings in the farmyard housed a hotel and a restaurant.

Wildeck Castle, with its eventful history, offers a wonderful panoramic view of Zschopau and the surrounding area from the “Dicker Heinrich” observation tower. The first documented mention of a medieval fortification came from the year 1299; at the center of this complex is the Dicker Heinrich keep. Between 1545 and 1547, at the instigation of Duke Moritz, the later Elector of Saxony, the castle was converted into a hunting lodge in the Renaissance style. After an eventful history, Wildeck Castle now shines in new splendor. The castle houses the motorcycle exhibition MotorradTräume, which deals with the history of motorcycle construction in Zschopau. The Zschopau engine works with the DKW and MZ brands were once the largest in the world. The machines were not only indestructible but also very successful in racing.

I visited the castle on a via ferrata tour. Well restored, not too built up.
