The Burgstall Bärenfall , sometimes also called Perfallschlössl , is located in the Heinzhof district of the Upper Palatinate municipality of Ursensollen in the Amberg-Sulzbach district of Bavaria . The Outbound hilltop castle is located approximately 1000 meters northeast of Heinzhof and 275 m southwest of Bittenbrunn in Amberg town forest, bear case (District Perfall ), and northwest of the leading of Heinzhof after Bittenbrunn road. The object is listed by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments under monument number D-3-6636-0010 as a "medieval tower hill".

description

Close to the edge of a plateau sloping slightly to the southwest is a small ring wall with a trench. The diameter of the enclosed area is approx. 10 m, the ridge circumference is 31 m, the height from the bottom of the trench to the ridge varies between 2 and 3 m. Remains of a tower-like stone building are said to have stood here as late as 1950, as can be seen from a stone cross made of hewn cuboids. Because of the high levels of weeds, the Burgstall stands out very little from its surroundings today.

history

Written sources about this lost castle are not available. The Burgstall is associated with the gentlemen from the nearby Hohenkemnath . A Stefan von Kemnath zu Hohenkemnath, Lutzmannstein and Rosenberg is proven as early as 1267. The last of the Kemnathers in Hohenkemnath was a Wolf Philipp, according to the Landsassenmatrikel 1530, but between 1570 and 1589 another Philipp von Kemnath is mentioned, who is said to have also sat in Hohenkemnath.

According to another interpretation, the Brennberger family could have lived here. Of these, a Locke von Prennberg is mentioned once in 1358 . The name Brennberg was also borne by a nearby farmyard that burned down towards the end of the 16th century. According to a border map from 1590, no castle or ruins are entered here, so that one can assume that the complex was already deserted at that time.
