history
An early mention of Tegernbach comes from the year 820; at that time this was the Mondsee area. The Lords of Tegernbach were first mentioned in a document in 1096, and an Ortolph von Tegernbach is mentioned in a document from the state above the Enns. His two sons Ortolph and Gebhard are named as witnesses in 1160. 1150 Tegernbach is referred to as a castle. Another Ortolph was in dispute with the St. Nikola Monastery in Passau, the lengthy process lasted from 1189 to 1218. A dispute over a tithe between the brothers Otto and Siboto von Tegernbach is also attested in 1204 , which was decided by Bishop Wolfker von Passau has been. In 1237, Friedrich von Pasching and Otto von Tegernbach appear as witnesses on a document from the St. Nikola monastery. Otto von Tegernbach donated Gut Reut near Nordprechtsberg to St. Florian Monastery in 1250 . Other owners were Otto, Dominius, Wolfingus with his wife Perichta and daughter Agnes. The latter married Chunrad von Hartheim and had three children with him (Chunigunde, Dietmut and Bertha). After their death, Tegernbach fell to the Marsbacher family. Agnes von Hartheim donated the castle and associated property to Mondsee Monastery in 1291 .
After the Tegerbach family, the castle came into the possession of the Schaunberger , Starhemberger and Pollheimers . Andreas von Pollheim († 1420 in Wels) bought the castle in 1398 from his uncle and brother-in-law Caspar and his son Georg von Starhemberg. The sons of Andreas were Gottfried and Siegmund, other owners were Governor Reinprecht von Pollheim († 1466), his son Martin († 1498), then his brothers Andreas († 1496) and Siegmund († 1505). The last owner was Siegmund Ludwig von Pollhaim zu Tegernbach (1494–1544). From this the moated castle Parz was acquired by Hans Pirchinger in 1514 . With the permission of Emperor Maximilian I , the Pollheimer was allowed to demolish Tegernbach Castle and use the demolition material to build Parz Castle , also known as Neu-Tegernbach. The rule of Tegernbach was incorporated into that of Parz (this is where the name of the cadastral municipality of Pflege von Schlüßlberg comes from).
Above the entrance to Parz Castle, this fact is commemorated with the following words:
“Emperor Maximilian der Gros, Parz took this castle from his name and called it Neu-Tegernbach Castle. Do that out of merit graciously Vom Pollham Herr Siegmund Ludwig. Who brought the castle at Tegernbach and broke it off. In the one thousand and fifteen years after which God man was born. "
The Gasthaus in der Pflege , which was formerly a popular excursion destination, is still reminiscent of the castle . In the meantime, however, the guest operation has been stopped.
investment
This mighty fortress stood on two steep hills, with the larger one carrying the main castle and the smaller one carrying a bailey, both of which were connected by a bridge (two-part earth-cone castle). The water flowing into the moat was dammed up by means of a dam so that the castle could possibly be referred to as a moated castle (not completely secured, since a water level of 15 to 20 m would be assumed). At the foot of the main castle, a pond relic has been preserved on the bottom of the trench. It was also called the most powerful and safest castle in Upper Austria.
You can find the remains if you follow the signs to Hofbühne Tegernbach and drive in the local area at the fire station in the direction of Pflege.
