Möschlitz (Reuβ ältere-Linie.) was involved in a conflict with Oschitz (Reuβ jüngere-Linie.) which almost came to battle. When | Möschlitz (Reuβ ältere-Linie.) was involved in a conflict with Oschitz (Reuβ jüngere-Linie.) which almost came to battle. When Napoleon’s brother, Jerome Bonapart, was stationed in Schleiz with a large army preparing for war with Austria, he needed to feed his soldiers. In an effort to preserve their herds from being requisitioned for the army, the people of Möschlitz hid their cattle in the forest. When the Oschitzers betrayed the hiding place of the Möschlitzer cattle in an effort to preserve their own cattle, the Möschlitzers armed themselves in preparation for battle against their neighbors in Oschitz. However, bloodshed was averted at the last minute as the Reuβ Lords intervened. | ||
In 1930 Moschlitz was connected to Schleiz and Saalburg by rail, which is no longer in use. In the spring of 1945, S.S. guards killed a train full of prisoners who were being taken from Buchanwald to Bavaria. The town erected a memorial to these prisoners between Möschlitz and Burgk. | In 1930 Moschlitz was connected to Schleiz and Saalburg by rail, which is no longer in use.
