history

Between 1118/19 and 1125 the local nobleman “Fridericus de Lutenbach” sealed as a Diepolding henchman. Around the middle of this century the local aristocrat "Hartnit (Hartuit?) De Luterbach" appears as a documentary witness. A Heinrich von Lauterbach is mentioned in 1274.

The noble seat, which probably emerged from the Bavarian Meierhof , was in the territory of the Counts of Hirschberg and was transferred to the Imperial Hirschberg District Court in 1305 when they died out . In 1430 the district court Wigileis / Wiguleus Rauscher was enfeoffed with these bailiwick rights . The Hirschberg servant family Rauscher was well off in the area south of Neumarkt, for example in Obermässing, Nottersdorf , Möning , Kauerlach , Hagenbuch and Liebeneck near Mettendorf . In the 14th century, the noble family Klack von Obermässing is named as the owner of what is said to be a small noble seat. In the early 15th century the seat was passed to the Haider family; 1424 is called Endres Haider zu Lauterbach. 1461 sold its been incurred in the clergy son Frederick to the Gredinger pastor and splitters Dean Hans Wermger; his brother Hans zu Lauterbach testified to this with others. Hans Beringer, Wermger's successor, sold the mansion with its affiliations to Hans Wolfstein zu Obersulzbürg. Hans Haider got into a dispute with the Wolfsteiners, which ended with Haider being compensated. In 1513 Hans Haider the Younger was still sitting in Lauterbach, before he soon moved into the Eibwang Castle in the Anlautertal , which he had acquired from the Eichstätt Monastery .

How the noble seat came under the territorial sovereignty of Pfalz-Neumarkt (so handed down for 1497) is unclear. In the centuries-old dispute over the high jurisdiction on the southern border of Neumarkt mayor office , the castle- Bishopric of Eichstätt with the Electorate of Bavaria , located on the former advocacies called the Counts of Hirschberg through the Office Jette Hofen, on January 30, 1767 a treaty from which the territorial sovereignty was finally awarded to the Hochstift via Lauterbach and other places nearby.

Around 1518 the bourgeois Hanns Kechlern, (at Hofmann / Mader probably correct: Hans Rechler) Richter zu Untermässing , acquired the "Sitzlein" located in the middle of Lauterbach, probably in order to be ennobled by Pfalz-Neumarkt. At that time it was a "desolate, unbuilt castle stable" and fields, meadows and gardens had already passed into other hands before it. Soon after 1555 Rechler parted with the property again without ever having lived there; later he appears as Rechler von Rechlerstein, so has been ennobled.

Before 1564 the noble estate passed to Rudolf von Hirnheim zu Jettenhofen. After his death, his four daughters sold not only the Burggriesbacher Schloss but also the Lauterbach seat in 1586 to the Eichstätter Bishop Martin von Schaumberg , as did the five properties belonging to the seat in the village, the “lordly” or “manorial” subjects. At that time, the only real estate that belonged directly to the noble estate was the three-day-work field "Wolfsgrub", the garden opposite the castle on the other side of the street, which was later converted into a field, a four-day field meadow below the village and the " Engellohe ”, a three day long meadow between Lauterbach and Jettenhofen. The episcopal court chamber gave the castle with the agricultural land to peasant landholders.

As a result of the Thirty Years' War , only three of the manor houses were occupied in 1642, and five again in 1644. In 1658 Leonhard Dengler the Elder owned the manor house. 1709 it is reported that the manor house, the associated barn and the wide courtyard are barren; The owner at that time was Michael Hilpoltsteiner, the owner of the Eichstätter Taferne in Burggriesbach, who apparently only used the few agricultural areas of the former noble residence. In 1786 the house and barn no longer existed. In 1802 the Eichstätter Hofkammer sold the properties to several farmers.
