The Burgstall Poppenreuth is located in the Großkonreuth district of the Upper Palatinate community of Mähring in the Tirschenreuth district .

history

The village is mentioned as Poppinruth for the first time in a protection document from Pope Lucius II , which was issued for the Waldsassen monastery in 1185. Although this is problematic, it appears to have been the first castle that the monastery acquired. In 1353 the Lords of Wilbrandt zu Parkstein Poppenreuth took over the monastery for life. The next owner was a Reindl from Griesbach, who in 1396 sold the mill, the Kretsche (i.e. the inn) and other goods to the monastery. A Palatine vassal Hans Asmann von Poppelrewt is named in 1422 and a Tirschenreuth judge named Hans Poppenreuther in 1482which could indicate a local nobility or ministerials of the monastery, who name themselves after their place of origin.

It is not known exactly when the court was moved from Griesbach to Popplereuth. 1502, the first judge is here mentioned, namely, on the sale of the block of work (i. E. The castle) and of the associated court to Stiftisches porter Hans Steger . Soon afterwards, they returned to the monastery and in 1511 Abbot Georg von Waldsassen was able to sell the property to Michael Frönl from neighboring Großkonreuth. In 1519 the property went to Wolfgang Beuml , whose son is still named as the owner in 1523.

Poppenreuth Castle then and now

In contrast to other ministerial castles, this one was not demolished by the Waldsassen monastery. In 1502 the castle was used as the seat of the Griesbach court. Before that, it was perhaps a farm with the associated farm. In 1515 the main castle is still mentioned as Blochwerk , the associated inn ( Kretsche ) was opened in the 20th century when the state road 2167 was expanded.

The castle stables were located in the middle of the village across from house 19. Originally, the complex was divided into two parts, the castle stables and an outer bailey with the Kretsche. The Burgstall consisted of a diamond-shaped island (22 × 17 m), which lay in a pond (49 × 45 m). The island was surrounded by a dam on three sides. Because of the designation as Blochwerk , a tower is thought of that stood on a corresponding tower hill or a smaller solid house with a wooden upper floor.

The remains of the Plochwerk for the Weiherhaus were previously under monument protection , but have now been removed from the corresponding list. The island and pond are still preserved.
