history

This place was first mentioned in 1135 as Lengeuelt ; presumably it was founded in Diepolding . The Dieplodinger Ministeriale Gottfried von Wetterfeld has Lengenfeld on behalf of his Lord Diepold III. handed over to the Reichenbach monastery , but remained administrator of the place. In a deed of donation from the Lords of Albinesberg to the Admont Monastery in 1171, a Bruno de Lengenvelt is named next to a Wernhart de Vohebruch . In 1182 Gottfried von Wetterfeld renounced his fiefdom at Lengenfeld. In 1279 a local nobility is named again, namely a wilhay de lengenuelt appears as a documentary witness for the knight Ulrich von Neustadt . Further family members are named arable from 1285 in the Bavarian Duke ( Heinr. Lengenuelder, Ch. Lengenuelder ). In 1322 Heinrich Conrad and Wolfhardi de Lengenvelt are in a feud with the Waldsassen monastery . The Landgraves of Leuchtenberg force the Lengenfelder to sell their goods around Lengenfeld and Rothenbürg to the Waldsassen monastery. The Lengenfelder remain present in this area after the sale of their ancestral castle. B. 1351 as fiefdom holder of Schönficht Castle . In 1337 Otto Frawenberger von der Reut appointed the monastery as Vogt for Lengenfeld, who was supposed to protect the monastery people at Lengenvelt and the Rotenpuerge from the feared attacks by the Lengenfelds. Gertraud von Gleißenthal zu Plößberg received Lengfeld as a personal property in 1354 .

Localization

The Burgstall is located 950 m southwest of Tröglersreut on a wooded spur of the Lindenbühl above four ponds that belong to the Frombach. This spur is popularly called "Schlossberg". The main castle is in front of a 2 m high wall in the north and northeast, which separates the castle area from the spur. On the inside of the wall is a trench up to 3 m deep and 25 m long. The recent forest path cuts through the wall and crosses the ditch on a heaped earth dam. The original gate system can be assumed to be where the forest path reaches the plateau of the castle complex. In the northeast corner there is a rectangular 2 to 3 m high boulder, the so-called "Devil's Stone", on the edges of which there are bulges that may have been post holes. The village is also said to have been here in the Middle Ages.
