Niederulrain Castle (Bavaria)
Niederulrain Castle

The abandoned castle Niederulrain , also known as Burgstall Ulrain , was located between the districts of Ober- and Niederulrain in the Lower Bavarian town of Neustadt an der Donau in the Kelheim district of Bavaria . The Burgstall is shown on the western slope of the Nussberg on the topographic map ; this is thus about 500 m south of Niederulrain and 700 m west-southwest of the center of Oberulrain.

description

According to Michael Wening (1645–1718), only verbal information from the villagers about a castle on the "Bichel" was available at the time, Ulrain itself was a Hofmark without a castle at that time . Nothing is known about the appearance of the castle. Remains of the castle (paving stones of the cellar vault) were found during plowing at the end of the 19th century. The castle was destroyed in 1388 by the Second Rhenish Association of Cities .

history

The name Ulrain is mentioned for the first time in 900 when a Herirant swaps his property for this property at Straubing and Tann . The name Ulrain also appears in 1006, when the abbot Richolf of the St. Emmeram Monastery exchanged ownership with a Rudpert . The lords of Ulrain, who were ministerials to the lords of Wöhr in the 12th century and then were among the servants of the Bavarian duke, are connected to the castle . In 1133/35 a Heinrich von Ölrein is mentioned in a transfer of goods to the Weltenburg monastery . In the further 12th century, various members of this family appear in donations to the Biburg Abbey and Weltenburg Abbey. In 1315 the brothers Konrad and Otto von Ulrain sold a voucher to the abbot Ulrich of the Prüll monastery . A Bertold von Ulrain was in dispute with the Niedermünster monastery in 1337. His presumed son Ulrich no longer lives in Ulrain, but in Landshut ; with him the Ulrain family died out.

Ulrain then passed to Heinrich Wimmer, Edler von Ulrain, in 1344 at the latest, to Heinrich the Harlander in 1365 and then to the Pusch zu Vilsheim . In 1572 Sebastian Kugler, administrator of the town and monastery of Biburg, acquired Ulrain. In 1585 the Pilbis von Siegenburg bought these goods; on the marriage route, these are then passed on to Johann Oswald von Eck or his son Nikolaus Bernhard. In 1693 Karl Freiherr von Heydorn acquires the Hofmark and through his daughter Anna it comes to the emigrated Veronese family of Count Rambaldi. In 1838, through marriage, Nepomuk Freiherr von Imhof on Untermeitingen became the Hofmark owner.
