Hartenberg (or Hartenberk) is the ruin of a castle over the village of Hřebeny in the municipality of Josefov in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. Hartenberg Castle was built by the lords of Hartenberg, probably in 1196. The first written mention is from 1214. The Hartenberg family owned the castle until 1362, when Těma of Koldice obtained it from them and traded it in 1364 with Charles IV for Bautzen. At the beginning of 15th century the Hartenberg family received the castle again but soon sold it to Jan Maleřík. His descendants used the castle as the center of robbery attacks and that was why in 1459 the castle was besieged by the military of the town Cheb, conquered and plundered. Later the Schlicks owned the castle, the town of Loket and the Písnic family who held it more than 150 years. In the second half of the 18th century, the Ausperg family inherited the castle. From the 17th to the 19th century, modifications occurred. The last owner of Hartenberg was Františka Kopalová who inherited it in 1913 from her mother, Marie. After the World War II, she was expelled and relocated to Germany. More information...
