description

At the edge of the valley floor there is an almost round castle hill about 70 m in diameter, 2 m high with a ring ditch up to 20 m wide , which is now open on the valley side. The plowed hill floor is full of broken bricks and stones. According to Freiherr von Löwenthal's “History of the Mayor's Office and the City of Neumarkt” in 1805, “a large, massive tower” stood here.

history

This is where the Hohenstaufen imperial family of ministers, the Lords of Thannhausen, sat . In 1253, a Hermanus de Thanhusen appears as a witness in a certificate from Albert Rindsmaul . On the marriage route, the goods around Thannhausen came to the Reichsministeriale von Stauf. Gertrud, the widow of Hermann von Stauf, bequeathed various goods in Thannhausen to the Franciscan monastery in Nuremberg on January 14, 1295 ; she herself continued to reside in Thannhausen. After the Stauf, the Reichsministeriale von Stein followed . Around 1467, Thannhausen came completely to the diocese of Eichstätt . As early as 1406, Bishop Eberhard II von Kirchberg had a new castle built in Thannhausen, which served as the residence of the episcopal Vogt ; In 1602 the castle without a chapel was inhabited by the caretaker Peter Burchart. After the Thirty Years' War , the Episcopal Office of Thannhausen was merged with the Episcopal Office of Jettenhofen in 1690 , and the Thannhausen Castle had lost its function. In 1719 the Kastner von Jettenhofen had the castle removed down to the tower and the stones sold. The tower was demolished around 1816 and in 1834 the castle disappeared completely.
