The Postal Church Rohrbach , including Rohrbach or Postal Gußstein called, is an Outbound hilltop castle at the height of the edge of a 416 meter high hilltop 60 meters above the Regental in the district church Rohrbach the community Walderbach in Oberpfälzer district of Cham in Bavaria .

history

The castle was built in the first half of the 12th century by the lords of Rohrbach, a Diepolding family of ministers , as their ancestral seat. A short time later, the family had their ancestral seat until the 13th century at Katzenrohrbach Castle, after which they also named themselves. From 1196 the castle was the ministerial seat of the bishopric of Bamberg . After the Cham line of the Diepoldigians with Margrave Berthold II died out in 1204, the Rohrbachers probably orientated themselves politically towards the Wittelsbachers , the castle was no longer mentioned and began to deteriorate.

In 1424 a Hofmark Kirchenrohrbach is mentioned, which presumably came to the Satzenhofer from the Rohrbachers . On September 14, 1424, the brothers Wilhelm and Hans sold the Satzenhofer zu Fraunstein their own village and Hofmark Kirchenrohrbach to Abbot Johannes von Kloster Walderbach . In 1518 a Jorig Vorster seeliger is registered in the land register of Kirchenrohrbach as the owner of the Forsthube zu Kirchenrohrbach. He had the obligation to wear armor ( with his armor serviced ). Then another Niklas Margreder, Vorster zu Rorbach appears in the documents of the Walderbach monastery.

description

The castle stable of the former castle complex is now a ground monument that still shows the remains of the earlier buildings.

Of which up to the late 12th century to the middle datable keep on an area of 7.5 by 7.5 meters with a wall thickness of two meters in the northeast corner of the plant were in 1905 still more layers hump ashlar masonry to see.

In the west of the small castle, the two-meter-high remains of a semicircular four to five-meter-wide trench with a rampart in front can still be seen, and in the east, a kennel-like, lower terrace. The 25 by 30 meter core facility still shows the foundations of the curtain wall in the northwest and southeast . In the western part, a residential building can be assumed that was separated by an internal wall, and a recess could indicate a cellar or a cistern .
