Schloss Wildeck

Schloss Wildeck, 1 - 9405 Zschopau - see map - Contact
Wildeck Castle, built on the foundations of a 12th-century defensive complex, watched over Zschopau day and night. The carters and merchants who once travelled on the "Czech Trail" between the merchant metropolis of Leipzig and the royal city of Prague found refuge here. Originally they mainly transported salt from the Hallens region in Bohemia, which is why the trail is also called "Salzstraße". Today only the thickness of "Heinrich", a residential tower and guard more than 30 meters high with walls a meter thick, testifies to the military facility, with the function of protecting the medieval street of distant trade.

Schloss Wildeck History

L'ex castello di Wildeck fu costruito a metà del 16. Secolo trasformato in un castello di caccia molto meno marziale su ordine del duca Moritz von Sachsen e servito dal 17 º ai primi 20. Secolo come sede della locale Oberforst e Wildmeisterei. Oggi il castello rinascimentale bianco, visibile da lontano, ospita diversi musei dedicati alla storia industriale della regione - in particolare quelli della costruzione di veicoli sassoni. Perché Zschopau un tempo era la più grande fabbrica di moto del mondo. Pregiate macchine DKW della collezione "Rasmussen", gran parte della gamma di motociclette MZ e macchine da enduro e da corsa attendono i visitatori. Una meta per tutta la famiglia.
