Purschenstein Castle

in East Germany was built in the late 12th century, around 1200, probably by Boresch I (Borso).

The toll and escort castle protected a salt road running from Central Germany to Bohemia.

This long-distance trading route, also called the Old Bohemian Track (Alter Böhmischer Steig), ran from Leipzig past present-day Neuhausen and over the Deutscheinsiedler Saddle towards Prague.
