history

The presumed construction of the castle in the 12th to 13th centuries by the local nobility, the knightly family of the Lords of Titmoningen, is uncertain.

The castle was first mentioned when it was purchased by the Archdiocese of Salzburg ( Archbishop Eberhard II ) as a border fortification against Bavaria . The archbishop initially only awarded the castle hat for a short time. The first castellanus was Friedrich von Törring in 1273 , Ulrich von Wispeck in 1282 , Heinrich von Nopping in 1299, Wulfing von Goldegg in 1306 and Otto von Goldegg in 1307. The latter also exercised control over the Tittmoning court. In 1312 Kuno von Teising appears as captain of Tittmoning, then (1320) Konrad von Oberndorf, who was already titled as a nurse . Konrad von Oberndorf went to the battle of Mühldorf on the Habsburg-Salzburg side and was held as a prisoner of Count von Hals in his castle until 1323 . The next castle captain was Wulfing von Goldegg. This was both the fiefdom of the Bavarian Duke of Dornberg Castle and of Archbishop Friedrichs . In the battle of Mühldorf he took the side of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria and when he advanced against Tittmoning in 1324, he opened the town and castle to him, whereby the Bavarians destroyed the castle and plundered the town. In 1327 the castle and the city were sold back to the Archdiocese of Salzburg.

In 1338 the fortifications were strengthened and the castle often served as a meeting place for the Salzburg delegation at meetings with the Bavarian delegation on the Wechselberg . Hans von Traun (1369), Hadmar von Laber (1383–1387) and Jörg von Frauenberg (1490) are known as carers from this period .

In the second half of the 15th century, the castle was expanded into a fortress in the late Gothic style. From 1484 the abdicated Archbishop Bernhard von Rohr lived here . In 1525 Tittmoning was pledged to Bavaria for four years. In 1540 the carer Adam von Thurn is paid for major renovation work. A traid box (grain store) may have been built under the administrator Ernst Herzog von Bayern in 1553. Sigmund von Lamberg was the last keeper to whom the stronghold was handed over in 1561 with the obligation to own it personally with his own back . This resigned in 1590 and handed over the business to a care administrator. In 1591 Jakob Hannibal von Raitenau was entrusted with the office of caretaker. Since he also held other offices, he was obliged to come to Tittmoning twice a year. The usual business was done by a care administrator, who also held the office of district and city judge. Since then, the nurse no longer lived in the castle, but the nursing court had moved to the court house with the archive in the city of Tittmoning.

1611 the castle captain had Snow White to Arlezstain by Bavarian troops during the salt war with the Archbishop Wolf Dietrich damaged castle to I. Duke Maximilian passed. In 1614 Tittmoning was sold back to the Archdiocese of Salzburg. From 1614 to 1621 the castle was converted into a hunting lodge by the court architect Santino Solari under Archbishop Markus Sittikus . During the Thirty Years' War part of the Salzburg flag lay here. The palace was maintained by the court chamber until 1686, when the landscape had to cover half of the costs. From 1690 to 1694 the St. Michael castle chapel was given a baroque style . The last commandant of the castle was Freiherr von Schaffmann, who left the castle in 1790. After that, the castle remained unoccupied. In 1805 the castle burned under French occupation. a. the keep was destroyed.

After 1816 the castle belonged to the state of Bavaria. Because of the beginning of decay, the town of Tittmoning bought the castle in 1852. In 1911 the museum of the historical association came to the castle. In 1940 a prison camp for officers was established here. After the Second World War, the castle became a transit camp for refugees and displaced persons. In 1953 the museum was reopened and renovation work began.

description

Castle and city

Two cross vaults on the ground floor of the cavalier floor and the fountain in front of the kitchen floor date from the time the castle was founded. The current appearance of the castle is shaped by the renovations in the 15th and 16th centuries; the most striking building is the three-storey traid box with a mighty hipped roof and today's castle chapel of St. Michael .

Today the showrooms of the home of the Rupertiwinkel are housed here. You can visit the largest collection of shooting targets in Bavaria from 1600 to 1930. The museum also owns some works by the Tittmoningen artist Johann Baptist Cetto.
