Schiffelbach castle ruins

The castle ruin Schiffelbach is a lost moated castle in Schiffelbach , a district of Gemünden (Wohra) in the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg in Hesse .

Geographical location and current state

From the former castle seat, which was still inhabited until around 1830, only remains of walls and a cellar vault with a pointed arched gate are left. You are in the southeast of the village in the extension of the street "Am Storckborn" (field name: "Hinterm Hof").

history

The village, first mentioned in 1263, was wholly or mostly owned by the Schleier family until it died out in 1635. These were ministerials and feudal men of the Counts of Ziegenhain until the latter died out in 1450; thereafter they were the same among the Landgraves of Hesse . Around 1500, Johannes Schleier, probably the son of Hartmann Schleier, who in 1485 was certified as councilor and court master for the still underage Landgrave Wilhelm II of Hesse, had a moated castle built on the site of an older castle , which his son Hartmann then completed. It was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1580 and from 1778 was referred to as Tilemann'scher Hof , but also as (Steinernes) Castle .

Johann Schleier zu Schiffelbach died in 1579, and when the inheritance was divided among his four sons in 1580 with their manors in Schiffelbach, Ottrau , Schrecksbach and Gemünden (Wohra) , the decline of the family began. In 1619 the veils sold the part of the village they had bought from the von Löwenstein and the castle seat to Philipp von Scholley the Elder. , with the right of repurchase, and in 1622 Scholley also acquired the rights of use for the mainzian half of the village by pledging . After the Schleier zu Schiffelbach veils died out with Johann Daniel Schleier in 1635, the ore monastery Mainz moved the Mannlehen to half of the village and court and lent it to the Mainz cellar David Leutenrodt in Neustadt . The former half of the von Löwenstein family was at that time free possession of Heinrich Gramehl, who had acquired them from Scholley.

In 1688, Landgrave Karl sold the estate and village of Schiffelbach to the colonel and later lieutenant general and city commandant of Marburg , Johann ufm Keller , who had extensive renovations carried out on the property around 1700. The rule of the Keller's heirs, most recently the Tilemann family called Schenk, in the village ended in 1810 and 1838 with the sale of the estate, which had now been divided among them: the first part was sold to 16 local farmers in 1810, the other part 1838 to 30 farmers; the forest ownership came to an interest group. The former castle was demolished after 1830.

description

The castle seat was changed several times. Nothing is known about the appearance of the moated castle, the moats of which could only be secured by means of the moats of the Schiffelbach stream flowing past to the north. In the first half of the 16th century, the Schleier zu Schiffelbach family had the new castle house built in the castle complex, which was probably adorned with a coat of arms from around 1530. The older “stone castle” a few meters east at the end of today's street Am Stockborn then served as a warehouse . 150 years later, the condition of the castle buildings is described as "extremely dilapidated". The newer manor house was changed again under Johann ufm Keller around 1700 and can be addressed as a half-timbered house with a stone plinth and vaulted cellar . Only remnants of the same with the entrance and parts of the surrounding wall on slightly elevated terrain have been preserved and are now a Hessian cultural monument with the object number 79420.
