Würdenhain
Würdenhain is a district in Röderland, Brandenburg. It is the smallest district in the municipality, with 114 inhabitants. There is evidence that there was a fortified complex in Würdenhain in the form of a castle or palace, which probably originated in the first quarter of the 11th century. The village itself was first mentioned in a document in 1346. In 1370, the dominion of Würdenhain was owned by Emperor Charles IV. The castle was destroyed in 1442 on the orders of the Saxon Elector Frederick the Gentle, as the Elector's Saxon vassal there was guilty of breach of the peace. The dominion was assigned to the neighbouring dominion of Mühlberg. When the area came to the Bohemian nobleman Hinko Birke von der Duba through barter and purchase transactions, it was noted in the deed of sale: "The Würdenhain Wall shall not be built upon or timbered for eternity". After the Peaceful Revolution, Würdenhain and the surrounding villages of Haida, Prösen, Reichenhain, Saathain, Sto ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
