history

Wissing ( Wizzingen ) is mentioned for the first time in a tradition from the Plankstetten monastery in 1131, with the mention of Hadmar et frater eius Hainrich de Wizzingen . The Lords of Wissing were resident here as local nobility. These are regarded as ministerials of the Habsberg count and later of the Eichstätts diocese . The aforementioned Heinrich von Wissingen appears again in a document in 1144. In a document in 1236 a Konrad von Wissing appears next to a Heinrich von Pollanten , when Marquard von Heideck confirmed a donation from his ancestors to the Auhausen monastery . Ulrich von Wissing is mentioned as a noble citizen in Neumarkt in 1310.

In 1310 it is said that the Count von Heideck sold Wissing Castle to the Bavarian Duke. Which also includes the fact that possessions in Wissing in the corresponding Urbar of Viztumamtes Lengenfeld emerge from the 1326th At that time the Bavarian dukes had enfeoffed the Wilfertsdorfer with goods in Wissing, while the Wissingen possessed goods in Grasenhül (as also mentioned in the Codex Falkensteinensis ). In the Landsassenmatrikel of the Schultheißenamt Neumarkt from 1518 a Hans Roßtaler zu Stauffersbuch with a seat in Wissing, called Schellenstein, is mentioned; Wissing has thus been connected to Hofmark Staufersbuch . In 1526 it is said that the seat at Wissing is derelict and desolate; According to the tax book, there were only two 1/16 houses left, which belonged to Hofmark Stauffersbuch with the lower jurisdiction .
