The castles Tieringen two Outbound castles at Tieringen , a present district of Meßstetten in Zollernalbkreis ( Baden-Württemberg ).

The castles were probably built by the lower noble lords of Tieringen, ministerials of the Counts of Hohenberg , who have been named since 1275 . In the 14th century the castle and the residential tower were destroyed. From the land register in the house archives of the Cotta family from 1613 it emerges that knights Wilhelm von Thieringen and Ludwig von Lantaw received the Plettenberg and the surrounding villages as compensation for war expenses in the reign of Duke Friedrich II (1337-1344) . In 1370 the rule of Meßstetten came to the Wildentierberger line . Through the marriage of a Wildentierberger daughter Anna von der Wildentierberg with Conrad von Hölnstein , the rule of Meßstetten came to this. In 1418 Konrad von Hölstein sold Tieringen, Meßstetten and Hossingen but kept his house with Hofraite in Tieringen. Knight Hans von Thieringen belonged to the crew of Hohenzollern Castle in 1423 .

System of castle names

Danube valley with the Wildenstein castles

In 1327 there is one of the castles in the Meßstetten / Lautlingen area and a farm owned by the von Bubenhofen family. In 1327 Kunz (father: Konrad von der Altentierberg) acquired a castle Neuentierberg with all accessories at the court, but without the church set to Lautlingen, without Meßstetten (Stetten) and a number of serfs. The local history researcher and pedagogue Hermann Krauss assumed that the local castles were called Tierberg. Heinrich von Tierberg bought the village of Tieringen along with the church and church set, as well as rights in Winzeln and in 1347 the villages of Meßstetten and Hossingen from the Counts of Hohenberg . Hermann Krauss is based on the Wildenstein Castle in the Danube Valley with several smaller castles in the vicinity, the former Altwildenstein , Unterwildenstein , Wildensteiner Hexenturm Castle and Wildensteiner Hahnenkamm Castle .

Church centers

The lord of the castle Friedrich von Tieringen supported the front altar of the Tieringen church in 1338. In 1344 Gertrud von Bubenhofen, Jakob von Tieringen's widow, donated a farm to Alpirsbach Abbey. In 1442 Albrecht Baldorff worked as parish lord of Tieringen

Occupation by conscripted Tieringer citizens

the strategically important Lochenpass on a topographic map of the Kingdom of Württemberg from 1850

According to the draft list from 1521, the Tieringer militiamen are responsible for securing the road to Rottweil against Hausen, which passes the castle. Other interlocked barriers in the Meßstetter area are at Bschorner Weg (military training area near Kählesbühl), Burteltal ( Hossingen castle ) Tobelsteige occupied by soldiers from Laufen, Lochenpass occupied by soldiers from Weilheim and Eschental (Unter-Ober-Digisheim).

The names of the partially mounted soldiers have been passed down: Hans Beier, Hans Berner, Michael Bupser, Hans Eisenmann, Christ (ian) Fuchs, Hans Grathwohl, Ludwig Grathwohl (subsidiary form Kratwol), Martin Grimm, Conrad Großhans, Gore Hetzel, Bernhardt Heymeyer, Hans Kiefer, Hainrich Linder, Michael Linck, Peter Linck (subsidiary form Link), Conrad Lohner, Hans Mayer, Hans Narr, Bernhart Narr, Hans Narr (subsidiary form Barr), Hans Maiser, Ulrich Motz, Martin Motz Vogt (subsidiary form Montz), Meßner, Jörg Quartlenter (minor form Quarleiter), Hans Roth, Conrad Roth, Mathias Rupp (minor form Ryp), Hand Schätzlin, Hans Schäublin, Melchior Schaüblin (minor form Schyblin), Michael Schmott, Stefan Schneider, Hugo Schneider, Conrad Schuhmacher, Jakob Schweitzer, Conrad Küffer , Agnes Schulers Knecht, Hans Weber, Ludin Meyer, Auberlin der Ackerknecht, Hans Hug, Christ (ian) Kiefer, Jörg Egli, Hans Schätzlin, Jörg Schätzlin and Hans Witzemann.

After participating in the Peasants' War in 1525, Hans Berner (subsidiary form Hanslin Bernart), imprisoned in the Balinger Tower, was sentenced to no longer carry a defense. Only a bread knife with a broken tip was allowed.

Scientific excavations

The foundations of a residential tower have long been known and researched. Another larger castle stable on Rottweiler Weg has been located and is to be made accessible via a hiking trail. This is likely to be Heiliburg (Heyliburch) mentioned in 1565. The name is said to go back to the castle woman Heila (father Benz von Hölnstein's apartment: Burg Hölnstein ). In 1442, junker Hans von Tierberg quarreled with the Tieringen pastor Albrecht Baldorff about the farmland. A 3D - CAD - Simulation of the residential tower was presented.

Traffic situation in the Middle Ages

Because of its location directly on the pass, Tieringen represents a small traffic junction, over which the third crossing over the Alb and at the same time two Alb ascents lead in the processing area. The first ascent from Rottweil via Schömberg leads through the Schischemtal , the second from the foothills of the Alb near Balingen over the Lochenpass into the village; Here both climbs unite and flow into the road that leads through the Bäratal via Nusplingen to Fridingen on the Upper Danube. The steep, old road towards Burg Hossingen and Burg Altentierberg is still there and is nowadays used by cyclists to shorten the hairpin bends.

Say

One knows fabulous memories from places gone. A place between Gräblesberg Castle and Tieringen Castle has disappeared. Behind the upper Tieringer tent with the former gate at Torbühl (today the Tieringen sports field) there would actually be space for three more tents up to Gräbelesberg Castle . In addition to the still existing Stetten places on the Heuberger Hardt , Hermann Krauss also knows an abandoned Stetten. Nüwenghausen, a place mentioned in 1477, has not yet been assigned. The residents are said not to have come to rest to this day: An old legend reports that at certain times hindered dealers were visible under the Baienfelsen ( 48 ° 11 ′ 30.7 ″  N , 8 ° 53 ′ 50.85 ″  E ). A brave Tieringer carter came on an empty trip with men from Hausen am Tann am Baienberg. At midnight he once called out to the junk dealers out of chance. All passengers survived the nightly haunt . The harnesses of the shy horses had to be cut off and the wagon stuck in the deep clay had to be left behind.

The bowl woman

There are the following verses to the legend:


“Dull moonlight, the clouds chase;
Ghostly old trees tower up.

Huh, how nocturnal shadows
flit across the Hohlgass onto gloomy mats!

Annemrei, don't go after the suitor today, on
Fridays, you know it, it's uncomfortable here.

Do you hear the dogs, the cats and the owls?
Do you hear the skies howling so eerily?

Annemrei don't stand, don't look around,
the woman with the bunch of keys is going around today!

She was once the mistress of Tieringer Castle,
Irmgard with a rich servant entourage.

She was the most beautiful maiden in the land.
Many knights courted her hand.

But she only longs for one, for
Kuno, the Lord of Wenzelstein.

But he did not love the lady
and said it freely to her face.

The maiden flared up in great anger, and
Herr Kuno suffered great suffering.

She attacked him in night and storm
and threw him into her strong tower.

In there she let the noble blood languish,
His white bones resting there in the cellar.

In death, however, she did not find rest,
at night her hand shakes at the gate.

But she does not find the right key, so she
floats until the Last Judgment ”.
