history

After Dietrich der Kürner had received Stamsried as a fief from Count Palatine Ruprecht II in 1346 , he built Kürnberg Castle on Haidberg with the permission of the Count Palatine and has been called Kürner von Kürnberg ever since. When Dietrich died in 1360, his sons Marquart, Hans and Dietrich inherited the castle. In 1367 a Vlreich of the Tanner sat here at the time, called the Kürnberg . His master was Marquart der Kürner, who at that time also owned Stamsried, and the aforementioned Tanner was court judge for both court brands . Dietrich Kürner the Younger died in 1406, his widow married Hermann the Hertenberger, with whom she lived in Stamsried. Her sons Marquart, Hans, Degenhard and Dietrich remained in the possession of Kürnberg. On January 16, 1422, Hans der Kürner issued a lapel to Bishop Friedrich von Bamberg about the free man fiefdom Kurinberg and the Vogtei Roding, because the castle was a Bamberg fiefdom.

Ulrich Warberger bought the Kürnburg from this with the consent of Count Palatine Johann (September 12, 1429). His son Christoph was the owner of the castle in 1452. In 1467 Balthasar Warberger issued a fiefdom lapel with the request to lend it to Hans von Plankenfels. This is also mentioned in the oldest Landsassematrikel from 1488 and entered the Löwlerbund in 1489 . In 1499 the castle came to the knight Ludwig von Habsberg († 1520). He was followed by his son Ulrich and then again by his son Hans Wolf, who is recorded in the land register in 1530. In 1539 Georg von Murach owned the castle , and in 1580 his son Andreas Georg von Murach was the fief owner. Kürnberg was merged with Stamsried by the Murachers and then follows the history of Stamsried ownership.

In 1634 the castle was destroyed in the Thirty Years War after the siege by the Swedes and fell into disrepair. At the end of the 1970s, the castle ruins were extensively renovated.
