German to English: Albrechtsburg Meissen General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: History
Source text - German Wegen ihrer Lage hoch ueber der Elbe auch "saechsische Akropolis" genannt, gilt die Albrechtsburg zu --> Meissen alsAusgangspunkt saechsischer Historie, als fruehester Schlossbau Deutschlands und beherbergte 154 Jahre lang, von 1710 bis 1864, mit der --> Manufaktur Meissen die erster Porzellanmanufaktur Europas.
Die frueheste Geschichte der Burg geht auf das Jahr 929 zurueck, in dem Koenig Heinrich I. (876-936) die sorbische Burg "Gana" zerstoerte und zur Beherrschung des Landes auf steilem Felsen zwischen Elbe, triebisch und Meisahier einen geeigneten bauplatz fand.
Ab 968 ist ein Markgraf von Meissen bezeugt und im gleichen Jahr wurde der Burgberg Bischofssitz fuer den Oberhirten des neuen Bistums Meissen. 1089 belehnte der Kaiser erstmals einen Vertreter des Hauses wettin mit dem Markgrafenamt, das seit 1125 unter den Wettinern erblich ist.
Diese schufen im saechsisch-thueringischen Raum ein gewaktiges Herrschaftsgebiet, welches unter dem 1423 zumKurfuersten von Sachsen ernannten Friedrich IV. dem Streitbaren (1370-1428) den Hoeepunkt der Machtentfaltung erreichte.
Translation - English Albrechtsburg Meissen
Because of its location high above the Elbe, the Albrechtsburg in → Meissen, also called “Saxony’s Acropolis”, was, as the earliest castle in Germany, the starting point of Saxon history, and for 154 years, from 1710 to 1864, home to the →Meissen Manufactory®, the first porcelain manufactory in Europe.
The earliest history of the castle dates back to the year 929, when King Heinrich 1st (876-936) destroyed the Sorbian castle "Gana", and in order to control the countryside, found a suitable site on a steep cliff between the Elbe, Triebish and Meisa rivers, on which to build his castle.
From 968 a Margrave of Meissen was testified and in the same year, the Castle Hill became the Bishop’s seat for the pastors of the new diocese of Meissen. In 1089, on command of the Emperor, a representative of the House of Wettin was appointed, for the first time, to the office of Margrave, which, since 1125, had been hereditary among the Wettins.
This made the Saxon-Thuringia area into a powerful domain, which under Friedrich IV. the Pugnacious (1370-1428), who was appointed Elector of Saxony in 1423, reached the highpoint of power expansion.
