Buschmühle
Highlight • Historical Site
"The Buschmühle was built around 1550 by a certain Heinrich Rauchdorn and handed over to the subsequent owner 18 years later. From 1586 it was part of the administration of Stolpen Castle. During the Thirty Years' War, 6000 Swedes stayed in Rennersdorf under General Baner. They looted and destroyed numerous houses and barns, as well as the majority of the town houses of Stolpen. The church was also a victim. But not only Stolpen, but the entire area was plagued by them. They discovered the hidden bush mill in 1641 and burned The Swedes, whose custom it was to destroy the mill wheels in order to prevent the flour production, did not adhere to the martial law and "Artikulus letters", which contained the provisions not to damage or destroy plows and mills.
It was only 40 years later that the Buschmühle was rebuilt and was able to continue its grinding and cutting business. Since then, the owners and the affiliations have changed frequently between Schmiedefeld and Rennersdorf. In 1774 the Buschmühle was ordered not to undertake any modifications that might allow new grinding and cutting aisles to be put into operation. In contrast to some mills in the Wesenitztal, the Buschmühle remained a real grinding and cutting mill (1). In the winter of 1927/28 the mill burned down again, but was rebuilt and, until the final shutdown in 1962, it was a popular restaurant next to the mill. "

View of Dittersbach Castle
Highlight • Castle
There were numerous further changes of ownership up to 1829, but Dittersbach Castle only remained in the ownership of the respective buyer for a few years. In 1949, the LPG took over the manor and used it until 1990. The castle served as a hostel for apprentices until 1989. After it was returned to the city of Dresden in 1993, the palace stood empty. It was sold with the park in 2004 and has since been gradually renovated.
A nymph, Apollino and Diana, goddess of the hunt, beautify the park again. The owner recreated the old lines of sight in the form of the two avenues of lime trees through extensive new planting and new paths. The park wall, which was largely used as a “quarry” after the war, was also rebuilt. The 1400 square meter castle pond, with its surrounding sandstone border, which had been completely filled in in the 1970s, was dug out again and rebuilt.
Thanks to all the work in the area surrounding the palace and park, the original appearance of the entire complex has been restored for a long time. The side wings of the castle shine again in their old splendor. Now the main building and the numerous outbuildings are to be extensively renovated and put into private use. There will then be concerts and other events in the restored premises of the palace, as is regularly the case in the park today.
