History The first mention can be found in a document from 1103. The history of the village is directly related to the Lords of Isenburg. Around 1100, Reinbold and Gerlach built the Isenburg in the area of a manor of the Fulda Abbey as the ancestral castle of the Lords of Isenburg. Soon after the castle was built, the first residents settled in the valley and built their houses around the castle hill. Isenburg was a castle village and had special rights such as the status of a free town. However, a town was never founded, as the location of the town did not offer any opportunities for expansion. At the beginning of the 14th century, Isenburg was fortified. The fortifications, which extended over a large area around the castle and valley, not only protected the town, but also served as an advanced security point for the castle. The town fortifications consisted of a wall with four gates. Two gates - the "Alte Porz" and the "Schildpforte"

Stein Castle, also known as Schloss Stein, is located southeast of Zwickau in the Hartenstein district of Stein on the rocky bank of the Zwickauer Mulde in Saxony. Construction began in the 13th century and subsequent renovations gave it its current form. The building is a listed building.

HistoryEdit Settlement in the Ore Mountains began in the 12th/13th century, mainly along the rivers. River crossings and settlements were protected by fortified structures. Numerous castles were also built along the Zwickauer Mulde. The forerunners of the old Stein Castle can be found on the northern steep bank of the Zwickauer Mulde above the train station. The castle used to have a ford, later a ferry and various wooden and stone bridges, some of which are shown as covered in old illustrations. Bridge tolls were still collected until 1924. A modern steel arch bridge was blown up by the SS in 1945, and a concrete bridge has stood in its place since 1950.

Wildenfels Castle Curved-beaked birds and exotic plants frolic on precious silk panels. A feeling of a thousand and one nights spreads through the "Blue Salon" of Wildenfels Castle. In the "Chinese Cabinet" you can admire Chinoise figures in opulent robes and colorful flower tendrils. The unique paper and silk wallpapers from the 18th century are the highlight of the small castle in the Ore Mountains. Wildenfels Castle was built on the walls of a castle built over 800 years ago. To this day, elaborate ceiling and wall paintings as well as overdoors bear witness to glorious days. Concerts, readings and lectures take place in the castle hall with its magnificent stove made of Meissen porcelain. Contemporary regional art can be admired in the castle gallery.

a wonderful place, also for taking a break

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.

Wildenfels Castle rises on a mountain spur above the town of Wildenfels near Zwickau and was built on the walls of a castle built over 800 years ago. It is best known for its unique paper and silk wallpaper from the 18th century, which can be found in the former living quarters of the count's family. To this day, elaborate ceiling and wall paintings as well as overports bear witness to the glory days. Concerts, readings and lectures take place in the castle hall with its magnificent stove made of Meissen porcelain. Contemporary regional art can be admired in the castle gallery.
