The castle Schloßböckelheim , formerly also called Burg Böckelheim , is the ruin of a hilltop castle on a mountain slope in Nahegau near the local community Schloßböckelheim in the Bad Kreuznach district .
history
The castle was probably built in the 9th century on the remains of a Roman settlement.
Konradiner (until 1046)
The place Becchilenheim was first mentioned in a document in 824. For the time around the turn of the millennium, a later document mentions a Duke Cuno von Beckilnheim, who is most likely Konrad von Schwaben . In the 11th century the castle came into the hands of the Upper Lorraine Duke Gottfried III as an imperial fief . the bearded man , who was in direct line of succession through Mathilde von Schwaben . 1046 the castle of Emperor Heinrich III. besieged and destroyed and the fiefs withdrawn after Gottfried rose up against the emperor.
Nellenburger (1046–1125)
It is assumed that in 1065 the feudal lordship over the castle Böckelheim with the Reichsgut Kreuznach from Emperor Heinrich III. is transferred to the diocese of Speyer. Count Eberhard VI was the tenant at this time . von Nellenburg , of which it is otherwise known that he was for his allegiance to Heinrich III. on whose Italian campaign 1046/47 was rewarded.
In 1105, Emperor Heinrich IV. Is held captive at the castle by his son and successor Heinrich V and is forced to abdicate. Immediately beforehand, Heinrich V had appointed Abbot Gebhard from Hirsau to be Bishop of Speyer. The Counts of Nellenburg are supporters of the Gregorian and Hirsau reforms and thus become opponents of Henry IV.
Sponheimer (1125-1279)
In the line of succession, the fiefdom passes through Adalbert von Mörsberg to the Counts of Sponheim . After a division, Heinrich von Sponheim-Dannenfels sells the castle to the Archbishop of Mainz . Heinrich's brother Johann tries to reverse the purchase, which in 1279 leads to a bitter feud (Battle of Sprendlingen) between Sponheim and Mainz and the final loss of the castle to the Mainz spa monastery.
Kurmainz (1279–1471)
Under Electoral Mainz rule, the administration of Sobernheim and the other Mainz properties in the middle Nahe is relocated from Disibodenberg Monastery to Böckelheim Castle (see Böckelheim Office ).
In 1327 Rheingraf Siegfried II, Vice Cathedral in the lower Rheingau , bears the title of Burgrave of Böckelheim. In 1388 Antilmann von Scharfenstein, called Grasewege, bailiff at Böckelheim Castle, whose widow donated the Disibodenberg Chapel in Sobernheim, died.
Electoral Palatinate (1471–1688)
After several changes, the complex was ceded to the Electoral Palatinate in 1471 and completely destroyed by French troops in 1688 at the beginning of the Palatinate Wars of Succession .
