The Burgstall Quakhaus or Schloss Quackhaus refers to an abandoned hilltop castle in Oening , today a district of the Berching municipality in the Neumarkt district in the Upper Palatinate of Bavaria. The noble seat is said to have belonged to the Beilngries brand and was assigned more to Upper Bavaria. The Postal is located about 100 meters south-southwest of the parish church of St. Nicholas and west next to the schoolhouse on the southern outskirts in the former house no. 28. The building is from the Bavarian State Conservation Office under the monument number D-3-6935-0085 as ground monument entered.

description

The Burgstall is located on the edge of a mountain tongue directly above a steep slope that lies above a dry valley . Only a slightly raised place can be seen from the castle stables. The castle is referred to as the former seat of the Vestenbergers . Around 1830 walls could still be seen.

Name interpretation

It is difficult to trace the name back as it is hardly mentioned in a document. In books on the interpretation of place names for southern Germany, a quack house or quack house is referred to as the nestling's house, with Quack - meaning the youngest son of a family . A corresponding analogy would be to see the name as an early noble seat of the Vestenbergers or the youngest offspring of the family.
