There was a castle in the town, which was built in 1482 by Burkhard Schenk von Tautenburg. The last of the Tautenburg family, Christian Schenk von Tautenburg, died in this castle on August 3, 1640. He had previously watched as his 22-year-old wife, Countess Reuss, and his children died on November 25, 1631, and his castle in Frauenprießnitz went up in flames on May 12, 1638. The local castle was demolished in 1780 and its stones and building parts were used to rebuild the Frauenprießnitz castle. (Wikipedia)

The first documented mention of the Tautenburg dates back to 1223. It came into the possession of the Schenken von Vargula before 1232. A branch of the Schenken, who named themselves after the Tautenburg, settled here until 1640. It is not known when the first village settlement developed below the castle, but it probably happened soon after the castle was built. The castle and the adjacent forest were initially given as a fief to the Lords of Lobdeburg-Saalburg as sub-vassals of the empire. When Hartmann IV of Lobdeburg-Saalburg died without a male heir, Emperor Frederick II transferred the imperial fief to the Tautenburg Schenken in 1243. (Wikipedia)
