Silberstraße Manor

The first documented mention of the manor dates back to the years before 1251 under the name Arme Ruh.

Around 1470, a bridge over the Mulde was built for the silver mining of the Ore Mountains. The then lord of the manor, Kunz von Uttenhofen (an old Franconian noble family), used this between 1470 and 1479 to petition the sovereign for a renaming of the manor and village to Silberstraße.

In the following centuries, there were several changes of ownership and structural alterations to the manor complex.

Known major structural changes date from 1899. The manor building was demolished by the then owner Ernst Gustav Alfred Dautzenberg. A mansion was built in its place, which in subsequent years was repeatedly extended and rebuilt to its current appearance. In 1945, the owners were dispossessed and expelled by the communists.

After the Second World War, the manor became municipal property. It served as a residential building and as an administrative building for the local agricultural cooperative until the political change and was sold in September 2011 to an interested American retired couple.
