Burgstall Frabertshofen

The Burgstall Frabertshofen is an abandoned hilltop castle in the Frabertshofen district of the same name, which was relocated in 1939 for the Hohenfels military training area (house no. 12); the deserted Frabertshofen now belongs to the Upper Palatinate market Hohenfels in the district of Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate . The facility is designated by the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation as a ground monument D-3-6736-0060.

description

At the western end of the village, in an area sloping to the north, there is a ring wall about 50 m in diameter, which was already disturbed by 1938. The wall is 8 m thick and up to 1.5 m high. In the southern corner there is a small hill, in which a tower or castle hill is assumed and on which two other buildings stood. Trench-like depressions on the outside and inside of the wall are attributed to repair work.

In the royal Bavarian original cadastre from 1830, the Frabertshofen seat, which was last referred to as the so-called "Schlößl" and whose cellar was used as a beer cellar by the pub next to it, can still be seen as a ring wall at the former inn. In 1833 the seat and village of Frabertshofen burned down except for three houses. But even today, the former castle complex, including the remains of houses and basement foundations, is still faintly visible in the ground relief in the desert.

history

Frabertshofen was first mentioned as Frobrehteshofen in 1242 when the noble Hager settled here. The hamlet of Frabertshofen originally belonged to the Hohenburg lordship and in 1330 the Hager were accepted as the Hohenburg ministerial family . The last of the Hager, a Hans Hager zu Frabertshofen, nurse of Auburg , sold his property there in 1564 under Bishop Veit von Fraunberg for 2200 Rhenish guilders to the Hochstift Regensburg due to high debts .
