The Outbound Castle Guteneck was a late medieval Spur castle in the town district Johanniskirchen in the Lower Bavarian district of Rottal-Inn of Bavaria .

history

It is believed that Guteneck was founded by Count Ortenburg from Haidenburg. However, this could only have been the case around 1330, when the daughter of Alram von Hals married Count Heinrich IV von Ortenburg . However, there is earlier evidence of Guteneck's existence. 1302 is already attested to an oppidum in Guteneck. The oldest owners are the Reinholde von Pörndorf , who have also called themselves zu Guteneck (1317 to 1396) since the end of the 13th century. A Reinolt von Guteneck is attested in 1317. With the consent of Duke Heinrich of Bavaria, he gives half a farm to Sunnpach (= Simbach am Inn ) to the Raitenhaslach monastery . This Reinolt is mentioned again in 1331. The creditors of Wynhart Reinold von Guteneck, Friedrich Stachel and Andrä Ys [s] el von Oberndorf , moved in the Guteneck Fortress after 1392 and sold it in 1410 to Wilhelm Fraundorfer.

In 1446, Guteneck Castle and Hofmark Dummeldorf were purchased by Hans Zaunrieder. These Zaunrieder can be traced on Guteneck up to 1508. Then Georg Zaunried sold Guteneck together with Dummeldorf to Hans Closen zu Arnstorf. His son sold the property (probably 1522) to the brothers Hans and Caspar Offenheimer. In the 16th century Guteneck remained the property of the Offenheimers. In 1599, Eustach, Hans and Georg Offenheimer and the two widowed sisters Sophia and Johanna Zeller and Sidonia von Elreching were registered as owners of the court brands Guteneck and Dummeldorf. Sidonia then acquired half of Guteneck. In 1604 Guteneck and Dummeldorf were assigned to the aforementioned Offenheimer brothers and to Christoph von Elreching. The latter had received his half by marrying Sidonia, nee Hauzenberger. After Sidonia's death, her share passed to her daughter Anna Maria, married von Neuhaus. In 1608 Hans Georg Offenheimer sold half of his share to Guteneck and Dummeldorf to Hilpolt von Neuhaus, Anna Maria's husband. In 1605, Duke Maximilian of Bavaria had announced to Hilpolt von Neuhaus, because of his services as caretaker of Neumarkt, that he would be granted noble freedom and non-jurisdiction throughout, in descending order of his and his marital inheritance . By 1619 at the latest, Hilpolt von Neuhaus was the sole owner of Guteneck, Dummeldorf and Eitting . After the death of Veit Hans von Neuhaus, a Gant proceeding had to be opened about his possessions and so in 1680 Gottfried Wilhelm Graf von Rheinstein zu Tattenbach bought the Neuhauser goods. In 1802 these goods came to the Arco-Valley by way of inheritance . After that the castle fell into disrepair, became uninhabitable and was demolished from 1830 onwards. In 1848, Count Arco-Valley sold the remains of Guteneck Castle and its grounds to the landlord Pott.

Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary in Guteneck

From the lost castle, a multi-part, 200 × 100 meter stables with ditches and ramparts have been preserved. In addition, the subsidiary church Mariae Himmelfahrt located here should be mentioned, which was built as a castle church around 1470. In this there is a late Gothic high altar with a predella group , which consists of sandstone and is incorporated into the altar shrine; this shows the marriage of the baby Jesus to St. Catherine.
