history

The hilltop castle is said to have been built by the Hofers . According to the Bamberg fief book of 1306, Otto and Hiltprant Hofer owned the castrum Newhaus cum suis attentiis as a Bamberg fief . On February 15, 1340 Hiltprant and his son of the same name are proven here. Hildebrand the Younger appears in 1346 and Eberhard Hofer in 1366 as the owner of Feste Neuhaus. Eberhard and his son Michael made the streets unsafe, which the Regensburg merchants complained about. On May 24, 1385 both vowed not to do anything against Regensburg and its federal cities for the next three years and to stand by Regensburg. A Hans der Hofer zu Neuhaus is proven in 1375/76. Around 1400 the Hofer dynasty expires in Neuhaus.

On December 11, 1396, Friedrich Gräul was employed in Nutz und Gewer by the judge of Neunburg vorm Wald , Hans Pülenreutter, at the Neuhaus fortress. On July 22nd, 1410 Erhard Vorster, a "servant" of the Count Palatine Johann , was certified at the castle. On January 26th, 1427 Christian Harder zu Wetterfeld sold the part of the festivities inherited from his mother Eberhartin the Hofferin to Linhrad Dürner zu Kaspeltshub. 1445 the Zenger can be proven here. Since Paul Zenger had inflicted great damage on the Bavarian prince in terms of tolls and customs, Duke Albrecht captured the castle in the same year. The Regensburg merchants also filed a complaint against the Blassenbergers who then resided here , which is why Elector Philip had the castle conquered. Caspar von Blassenberg was able to flee from the Anark von Wildenfels , caretaker to Wetterfeld, to the episcopal enclosure in Regensburg. In 1502 he promised to end all hostilities against Elector Philip and to sell the Neuhaus fortress within a year. In fact, Elisabeth von Blassenberg sold the fortress to Kuntz Arnold. However, there were also disputes with this, which were ended by a contract of March 2, 1507. After the death of Kuntz Arnold, Neuhaus passed on to his two sons Appolinaris and Alexander, who appeared in 1525 as country residents. In 1548 they shared their property, with Appolinaris receiving the Neuhaus and Alexander Nittenau festivals. The heirs of the Appolinaris are recorded as owners of the Hofmark Neuhaus in 1566 .

Christoph Güntzkofer followed in 1570 and the Neuhauser family acquired the property from him. In 1576 Hans Neuhauser and his son Georg Ludwig are mentioned in the country table. In 1611 Neuhaus came to Wolf Dietrich von Mornau. He sells the Hofmark to Hans Georg von Morolding, who also owned Regenpeilstein Castle . As a Lutheran , he had to leave the Upper Palatinate and went to Regensburg, where he died in 1632. His daughters Maria Elisabeth von Bertholdshofen and Anna Barbara von Salet were the next owners. Georg Wolf von Bertholdshofen paid homage to Neuhaus in 1652. He was followed by the Salet heirs: in 1666, Hans Christoph Peter von Preysing took over Neuhaus, partly by inheritance partly by purchase. Since he was a Protestant , he was only allowed to stay in Neuhaus for six weeks a year. However, he converted to the Catholic faith and was then entered on the land table. After his death in 1688 Georg Fels, Chancellor of Regensburg, acquired Neuhaus. Neuhaus stayed with this family until 1774; mentioned are Christoph Josef Anton (1710), Raimund (1736) and Peter Anton Fels (1760). After his death, his widow Maria Josepha appeared in 1774 and then his daughter Amalie in 1790 as owners of Neuhaus. In the same year Neuhaus went to her husband, Government Councilor Josef von Bauer, Michelfeld's rentier .

Josef von Bauer had failed to apply for admission as a Landsasse and when he wanted to do so in 1807, it was decided that Neuhaus's court rights would be assigned to the Wetterfeld Regional Court. On December 7, 1818, Amalie von Bauer regained the court rights for Neuhaus and was able to form a second class patrimonial court here . On December 9, 1826, the State Ministry of the Interior ordered the Neuhaus Court to be withdrawn immediately. In 1946 the new municipality of Bleich was formed and Neuhaus was added. With the regional reform of January 1, 1972, Neuhaus was incorporated into Nittenau.

Burgstall Neuhaus today

In the hearth description from 1762, a castle and other courtyard buildings at Neuhaus are mentioned. In the cadastre from 1808 there is only one manorial house. The castle was protected by a moat on the attacking sides. Access was via a bridge from the west. Approximately in the middle of the castle area was a tower that has recently been demolished. The remaining small building remains are inhabited by various owners. Today the castle still has a semicircular structure and a lining wall on the moat.
