Traubling Castle

The castle Traub Ling is an Outbound castle in local situation at the site of today's inn Old Castle in the district of Lower Traub Ling the community Obertraubling in the district of Regensburg in Bavaria . In the second half of the 17th century, the castle was transformed into the Niedertraubling moated castle.

history

The Niederungsburg was first mentioned on January 21, 1343, when "Fridrich the Weichsär von Traubling" issued the Regensburg bishop an official certificate. In it he promised: " My dear lord bishop Hainrich ze Regenspurch ... loyal ze serve and ze wait with my Veste ze Traubling ". This can be read on page 859 in the " Codex chronologico-diplomaticus episcopatus Ratisbonensis ". The complex is certainly older, because Friedrich (I) had added the addition "von Traubling" since 1309 and one can certainly assume that there was a castle owned by the family . In 1367 the Vistula were expelled from Niedertraubling by the Regensburg monastery and the Traubling fortress was passed on to the knight Kontrad Lichtenberger. In a proverb from 1369, the bishop had to reimburse the Lichtenberger payment that was due and the castle came back into the possession of the Vistas.

In the 14th century, the Nothracht took over ownership in Niedertraubling. In 1471, the joint ownership of the castles of Wernberg, Runding, Haybach and Traubling was recorded by the Nothaft family. In 1474, the settlement of a dispute between Georg and Albrecht Nothaft, Albrecht Nothaft's sons, concerning the Runding, Wernberg, Haibach and Traubling castles, in the 35th letter, fol. 77-80 in the Bavarian Main State Archives in Munich.

As the first of the knighthood, Nothaft von Traubling resigned his services to the duke. Over the course of several years of fighting, the Löwler castles were destroyed, including Köfering and Triftlfing. It was only thanks to the fact that during the siege of Niedertraublinger Castle in 1492 King Maximilian , who later became Emperor, initiated peace with Duke Albrecht that the Niedertraublinger Castle was not also razed .

As a result of the Lion War, the son Heinrich IV von Nothaft got so deeply in debt that on November 21, 1530 he had to sell the Hofmark Niedertraubling along with Embach, Mangolding and Sengkofen to his brother-in-law Christoph Freiherrn von Schwarzenberg. In 1565 the Maxlrainers came into the possession of Hofmark Niedertraubling and the associated villages Mangolding and Sengkofen .

A special event was the visit of Emperor Matthias (1612–1619) to Georg von Maxlrain . The emperor and his entourage traveled from Straubing to Regensburg on July 30, 1613 and wanted to spend the night in Pfatter. But since the plague was already raging there, he returned to Schloss Niedertraubling. He stayed overnight and had a day of rest on July 31st. On August 1st he took his morning meal and then moved on through Obertraubling to the Reichstag in Regensburg.

Georg von Maxlrain died in 1631. His successor was Christoph von Gleißental. In 1636 he married Georg von Maxlrain's widow in the second marriage. Gleißental, who was Protestant, died in Regensburg in 1650. Ulrich Schad von Mitterbibrach, a Bavarian treasurer and land tax collector, succeeded him on June 30, 1644.

The Topographia Bavariae by Matthäus Merian zu Traublingen reads: "... was set on fire by the Swedish / in the autumn month / Anno 1648 ...". This is likely to be the last devastation of the Swedes towards the end of the Thirty Years' War.

After several changes of ownership in the 17th century, the barons of Berchem held the Hofmark. In 1839 Wilhelm von Berchem (1810–1883) sold the castle and Hofmark Niedertraubling to Prince Maximilian Karl von Thurn und Taxis , who leased the property (1839 to 1863 to the Dietl family and from July 1, 1963 to the Lang family).

The Burkart family, who once lived in Niedertraubling (now Burgweinting), owns the estate and thus the rest of the moated castle.

Building

Philipp Apian already speaks of a great castle by a pond. The engraving by Michael Wening from 1720 shows an impressive moated castle with an eight-story tower to which a bridge leads. The building is a four-wing complex, some buildings are decorated with stepped gables. The almost square facility has a side length of 50 m. The outside access via farm buildings is enclosed by a wall; The associated church of St. Peter von Neutraubling also has a wall. Several fountains are shown in a park behind the castle.

In 1852 the keep of the moated castle was demolished. What has been preserved is a two-storey hipped roof building, essentially a late medieval office building. There is also the former brewery, a three-storey saddle roof building with a vaulted driveway, segment-arched windows and an inscription plaque with the year 1595; in between there is a two-storey gable roof building with knee sticks, the former barn. Remains of the moat with a single-arched, post-medieval stone bridge are still preserved, as are the remains of the entrance gate, consisting of two pillars with attachments and parts of a brick wall from the 18th and 19th centuries.
