history

The place is probably already 1185 in a papal protection deed from Pope Urban III. named for the possession of the Waldsassen monastery as a flour rod . The place itself was probably founded by the Counts of Schweinfurt or Diepolding in the 11th century.

The first reliable mention of the place and castle takes place in 1390, when Bernhard , Hans and Erhard , the sons of the Eger citizen Heinrich Schirndinger , sell their bricked seat in Metzleinsreuth to the chaplain of the monastery Jakob Eppenreuter . After the transfer to the monastery, the castle, which was not a court seat, fell into disrepair after 1390.

Matzersreuth Castle today

The angular village pond in the middle of the village is reminiscent of the castle, to which another pond below the fire station belonged. The preserved pond is accompanied by a dam. Due to the ponds, there is a possible ring moat that could have enclosed an island of 50 × 40 m. This protrudes one meter over the pond. The angular pond has been filled up again and again in recent times, so that the original system can no longer be seen.
