history
Excavations since 2007 on the excavation area, which is about 50 m above the valley of the Schmutter in the "Oberes Feld" corridor , have produced finds that date back to at least 5000 BC. Go back BC. A small adze, a so-called shoe last wedge , originates from the time of linear ceramics (5500-5000 BC). Most of the finds could be assigned to a Neolithic settlement of the Münchshöfen culture (around 4300 BC). In addition, there were more recent individual finds from the Altheim culture (around 3700 BC) and the bell beaker culture (2500-2200 BC) as well as a cemetery from the Early Bronze Age (around 2000 BC, evidence of red chalk ) and a cremation the early La Tène period (4th century BC).
The earliest mentioning of the settlement with the name Planchinburc was in 1090. The name means "castle of the blank" or "shiny, brightly shimmering castle". As the oldest lord of the castle, Hermann de Planchinburc was named in a document from the Solenhofen monastery in 1190. The Knights of Blankenburg were Dornsberg and Imperial Marshal vassals. Ulrich and Hermann von Blankenburg were the first to appear in a document in 1208. In 1209, Bishop Sifridus of Augsburg notarized the donation of a property to the Kaisheim monastery . A Hermannus de Blanchenburc is listed as a witness. The same Hermann or his son of the same name attested in a document in 1230 that Bishop Siboto of Augsburg confirmed that his Ministeriale (vir nobilis ministerialis ecclesi) Hermannus de Blanchenburc sold fields and meadows to Abbot Cunradus von Kaisheim for 80 silver marks.
The areas of Lechrain and parts of the Northern Gau fall as Conradin inheritance in 1269 to Duke Ludwig the Strict of Bavaria (1229–1294). Blankenburg Castle must have fallen apart or been destroyed in 1280. In the Wittelsbacher Urbar from 1280 there is only talk of the bare castle hill in Blankenburg, which belongs to the building yard of Donnersberg Castle and is managed from there: “Planchenburg mons pertinet ad agriculturam Dornsberg” . In the Salbuch from approx. 1280 the fiefdom is presented under the redditus castri in Dornsperg. Finally, Ulrich and Conrad von Blankenburg are mentioned again in 1290. The Blankenburg family died out in 1301 with Ulrich von Blankenburg, who was the court chaplain of the Bishop of Augsburg. After the dynasty of the Knights of Blankenburg died out, the fiefdom fell to Duke Ludwig the Strict of Bavaria. The castle stables, several courtyards, levies and the mill in Blankenburg have been part of the rulership since then, as has Donnersberg Castle. In 1323 Emperor Ludwig IV. Anna, the daughter of his marshal Conrad von Ellingen, prescribes 60 Pf. Haller from Mayerhofen and Blankenburg as a marriage good when she married Heinrich von Agawang. After the castle was destroyed by the Augsburgers and rebuilt in 1388, it was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years War. The last remains of the existing ruins were completely destroyed during earthworks in 1973.
Since the amalgamation of the municipalities of Nordendorf and Blankenburg in 1975, political fate has been determined by the Nordendorf municipal council.
Blankenburg settlement community
At the beginning of 1919, Hans Koch founded a settlement on a farm with around 20 young people who wanted to provide for themselves with gardening, animal husbandry and handicrafts in the spirit of the youth movement . If it was initially under the goodwill of the Revolutionary Minister Gustav Landauer , it was precisely for this reason that the political police lifted it as a Spartacist stronghold in May 1919 . The communist Max Levien was briefly hiding here. After the release, the project ended ruinously in 1920.
