history

In the second half of the tradition books of the St. Emmeram Monastery, transfers of goods to the nobiles Helfrich, Lantfried, Egil, Sigipertus and Meginhart , who were based in the village of Chaparussa , are mentioned. In the 13th century the castle and court rights came to the Wittelsbach family . In 1285 Duke Otto gave the court to Kagers to the Vitztum Albrecht von Straubing, the castrum Chabers was pledged to Leutold Pincera. There were family ties between Albrecht von Straubing, his brother Karl von Rain and other people who named themselves after Kagers, Rain or Straubing.

In a land report from 1331 it is reported that the duke gave the court of Kagers to the Chamerauer as a fief. But there was a dispute between the Duke and the Chamerauers and in 1334 the old fortress, the castle and the court fell back to the Duke. In the Salbuch of the caste office in Straubing 1479 only the Hof zu Kagers is mentioned, the caste book of 1479 names the Hofmark Kagers. In 1432 the Straubing citizen Caspar Lerchenfelder, who previously held ducal pledges, was made administrator of the Moshaim court brands in the district court of Haidau and Kagers for life. Kagers owned the Lerchenfelder until 1609, then Kagers came to the Straubing Rent Office and remained there until 1803 as the sovereign Hofmark. The description of the country by Johannes Lang and Franz Anton Max in 1752 only mentions the Hofmark Kagers, while in the same year Johann W. Widmer speaks of “Castle, Seat and Hofmarckt” Kagers.
