High and late Middle Ages

The fortress was built around the middle of the 13th century under Arnold I von Massenhausen, a follower of Duke Ludwig II the Strict . In 1334 an Ortlieb von Taesingen appears in the written sources. In 1352 the five sons (all of whom inherited the Mezzenhuser von Tesingen ) donated a chaplaincy for the castle chapel. In 1397 and 1400 Friedrich Massenhauser von Dasing and his cousin Wilhelm were mentioned in a document as the last of their tribe.

The kärpf (kerpf) von Dasing, whose talking coat of arms showed a carp , served the masses as knightly castle men . In 1324 the brothers Arnold III. and Ortlieb von Massenhausen Johann von Taesingen as "our knight ".

After the Lords of Massenhausen died out, the Dasing rule came by inheritance to Arnold Ebran von Wildenberg, the husband of Elisabeth I von Massenhausen. In 1424 his heirs, the daughters of Arnold VI. von Massenhausen, their shares (half the castle) to Hans Fraunberger zu Massenhausen. The Fraunbergers had the facility managed by a caretaker , so they did not live in the castle themselves.

In the imperial war against Duke Ludwig IX. the empires of Bavaria-Landshut ravaged the town of Dasing by around 400 Augsburg travelers. It is not known whether the castle was also stormed at that time.

When Hans Fraunperger died in 1477, his widow Anna von Pappenheim sold her claims to an annuity to Duke Ludwig IX. In 1478 the testator's two daughters successfully challenged their father's will before the Imperial Court of Justice . In 1482 and 1490, respectively, the ladies passed their shares on to the imperial chamberlain and court marshal Siegmund Prüschenk, whose brother Heinrich was already the keeper of the castle in February 1490. In October of this year, however, the heirs of the Frauenberger's sisters successfully claimed ownership. The Neuburger Landtafel names Johannes von Gegenberg, Marquard von Schellenberg and Jörg Pienzenauer as the new owners.

As early as 1490 Sigmund Prüschenk - Hardegg called himself "Newer haußwirt Zü Täsing". The brothers Sigmund and Heinrich Prüschenk had acquired the shares of Schellenberger in 1492 and in 1494 the portion of Schongau nurse Jörg von Pienzenau.

Early modern age

At the beginning of the 16th century, the estate was owned by Count Heinrich von Hardegg . The count in turn sold the castle to the Augsburg patrician Georg Ilsung , who passed the fortress on to the rich merchant Philipp Adler . The imperial councilor and financier of the Habsburgs then sold Dasing to Wolf II von Weichs zu Griesbach , who from 1518 was known as "zu Dasing". The Lords of Weichs held the rule for five generations until the residence was finally destroyed by Swedish troops in 1632 during the Thirty Years War .

The guardians of the heiress Eva Maria von Weichs therefore had to sell the Hofmark to Abbot Ulrich Hertfelder ( St. Ulrich and Afra Monastery in Augsburg ) in 1644 as a result of the " hostile defeat and the resulting landtruins " . The purchase price was set at 19,000 Rhenish guilders. For the conclusion of the contract, an additional 400 guilders tip and food (leikauf) were charged. However, the contract was only signed in 1656 after the purchase price had been paid in full. The Reichsstift St. Ulrich and Afra remained in the possession of Hofmark Dasing until secularization .

18th to 21st century

The copper engraver Michael Wening documented in his view from 1701 a planned palace construction on the site of the destroyed castle. However, the new building planned under Abbot Willibald Popp could not be realized. At that time, the basement of the castle palace was still inhabited by a gardener. This “Gärtnergütl” was bought in 1877 by the Hofbauer, whose property was directly adjacent to the Burgstall. An old photograph (around 1904, photo by Rischert) shows a two-story small farmer's property with an angled barn, which was probably demolished around 1910. The last residents are said to have died of verdigris poisoning. The court farmer took numerous stones from the castle ruins as building material, so that today only the brick cellar vault of the main building is preserved. 1889 Hofbauer the "Jägergütl" acquired in the former outer bailey added. In 1938 this property burned down and was demolished. On this occasion, the interior of the outer bailey was leveled and the old castle well filled.

For the Open Monument Day 2005, an information board was set up in front of the preserved cellar vault of the main castle. Later the community built a wooden protective roof over this entrance.

description

The castle stable of the Höhenburg lies on a low hill between the "Hofbauer" and St. Franziskus. The plateau of the main castle rises only about 13 meters above the valley floor.

The stately castle complex consisted of the oval main castle cone (approx. 23 × 25 meters) and the outer bailey to the north and east with the farmyard. Today the connecting road to St. Franziskus leads through the former neck ditch . The area of ​​the outer bailey was leveled in 1938 and the approximately 38-meter-deep castle well was completely filled.

In front of the northeast side of the castle stable, the remains of the moat with its rampart have been preserved. In the northwest the wall system has been destroyed by a large material pit. To the west, the area drops off in a steep step, the fortification of the south side has largely been leveled.

The main building on the core plant was probably three-story. In the east there was an arbor . In the southwest a square tower rose, probably the keep . A small illustration on Philipp Apian's land plate (1568) shows this tower with some window openings and a crenellated wreath. A circular wall ran around the plateau , of which small remains can still be seen in the west.

The well-preserved vaulted cellar of the former palace on the main castle plateau is remarkable . Two entrances led down from the south. The northern staircase is still usable, the southern one only survived in remnants. The cellar was completely built from bricks . The original floor covering is still largely in place. The vaulted room also served as a storage cellar for the later “Gärtnergütl”. In the upper part of the west wall, a rectangular light shaft breaks through the masonry.

Another small vaulted cellar from a later period - probably the 19th century - is located under the former arbor on the east side.

The Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation lists the ground monument as a medieval castle stable under monument number D 7-7632-0003.
