history

In 1210 Heinrich von Schwarzeneck appears in a document from the Regensburg Bishop Konrad and Countess Mechthilde von Hohenberg . This Heinrich von Swartzenecke is regarded as a local ministerial ; as such, he attests to a pledge agreement between Count Heinrich von Altendorf and the Ortenburg Count Heinrich I. Schwarzeneck was then part of the County of Ortenburg, which is also confirmed by the fact that Schwarzeneck is entered in the Salbuch of Duke Ludwig II in the Neunburg-Warberg office, the U. a. the possessions of the Wittelsbach familywhich were acquired by them between 1268 and 1272 from the Counts of Ortenburg- Murach . In the treaty of 1271 the milites Hainricus and Ott Zenger appear, whose families owned Schwarzeneck in the 14th and first half of the 15th century. In 1281 Cholo von Schwarzeneck informed his feudal lord, Count Wernhardus de Leonberch , about the return of various farms and tithe by Chonradus de Gicenrvt and Heinricus Hvstetarius . In 1285, Count Berengerus de Lonsperch gave the fiefs of his vassal Cholo de Swartenekke to Schönthal Monastery . In 1292, Berengerus confirmed the donation of three farms which, in addition to Otto von Pertolzhofen and Konrad von Murach, also held Chol von Schwarzeneck as fiefs. On January 31, 1284, due Cholones de Swartzenekke on the part of Ludwig conjure up a comparison between the Wittelsbach brothers Heinrich and Ludwig .

On April 12, 1293, Duke Ludwig enfeoffed Ulrich Marschalk von Lengenfeld with the Swarzeneke Castle, including all pertinances. The Cholo family was compensated with the villa in Vodern Aichelperg owned by Heinricus Cholo in 1326 . In 1297 Chol, Heinricus and Rimboto de Swartzenekk waived the tithe from some of the Lonsberg estates in Hiltenbach in favor of the Walderbach monastery . Chol de Schwarzzekke ceded various feudal rights to the Schönthal monastery in 1300.

On March 19, 1305 Heinrich der Zenger called himself after Schwarzeneck. This was also one of the knights from northern Gau, who confessed to Ludwig in 1321 and had taken part in the battle of Mühldorf . In the Wittelsbach house contract of 1329, Schwarzeneck was awarded to Rudolf's sons ( Rudolf II and Ruprecht I ). From 1339 the brothers Heinrich IV and Otto III sat . on Schwarzeneck. Otto's son, Heinrich VI. In 1359, Zenger von Schwarzeneck was the keeper of Veste Regenstauf . Heinrich V. Zenger von Schwarzeneck was Vitztum in Amberg from 1351 to 1355 . Until the end of the 14th century, Otto III. Zenger and Heinrich IV. Mentioned in numerous documents with their ancestral seat Schwarzeneck. On February 19, 1376 Parzival Zenger von Schwarzeneck , a son of Heinrich V, is mentioned here. Finally, a Tristram II. Zenger von Schwarzeneck seals a certificate as the nurse of Nabburg .

Schwarzeneck Castle was probably destroyed in 1427 in the battle of Tristram Zengers von Schwarzeneck against the Bavarian dukes Ernst and Wilhelm . Schwarzeneck no longer appears as an aristocratic estate in the land register of the 16th century.

1526 a hammer is mentioned in Schwarzeneck. The owner was Hans Sonleutner . In 1599, Endres Sonleutner is named here as a hammer master. This acquires the Schwarzeneck estate from Katharina von Plankenfels . He wanted to acquire the freedom of the nobility for the estate and the hammer, but this was first denied him by the Neunburg district judge Dietrich von Winterfeld . Only after an objection to the electoral governor Prince Christian zu Anhalt in 1605 was he granted the freedom of the state. After further divergences with the office of the district judge, Elector Friedrich V repeated in 1615 the granting of the freedom of the local people to the Sonleutner, for which the latter had to make a “removal”. After the death of Endres Sonleutner († November 10, 1618) his son Leonhard followed him . In December 1618 he gave up the compulsory Landsassen situation , but died in 1620. The property then came to Sigmund Abraham Scheups , who had married Leonhard's widow.

In the course of the Thirty Years War , the estate came to the Gant . During this time, six out of 15 properties were destroyed and the livestock population sank to a quarter of the pre-war population. In 1650 Georg Wilhelm Fuchs acquired the estate . He paid homage in 1652, but had to leave Schwarzeneck in 1655 because of an adverse religion . He sold Schwarzeneck to Johann Franz Zollner von Brand , who on July 17, 1673 resigned from compulsory Landsassen. The estate came from Franz Zollner to Johann Friedrich von Satzenhofen on Pettendorf . He sold the estate on August 15, 1690 to Adam Friedrich von Horneck and his wife Maria Isabella Eleonora . The estate remained in the possession of this family until 1756.

On July 10, 1756, the Secret Council in Munich granted the Schwarzhofen monastery permission to purchase the landed estate on the condition that the monastery had to buy it on to a secular applicant within 40 years and that certain claims to jurisdiction had to be waived. Due to the high level of debt, the monastery had to sell the estate and the hammer, which had been deserted since 1757, to Johann Georg von Mospurger , who in 1774 erected a mirror loop on the site of the iron hammer. In 1797 he sold Schwarzeneck to Wenzeslaus Schedel von Greiffenstein , who also acquired Katzdorf Castle in the same year .

This appears in 1809 as the owner of a patrimonial court in the district court of Neunburg. In 1813, Wenzeslaus Schedel applied for the formation of a local court in Schwarzeneck. On August 14, 1818, referring to his 21 years of activity as a district judge, he applied for the formation of a first class patrimonial court in Schwarzeneck, which was also granted to him on March 5, 1819. After his death († August 2, 1819), his widow asked for a change to a second class patrimonial court for her son Wenzel, because she no longer wanted to exercise the administration. This was approved on March 19, 1820. On December 27, 1830, the landowner sold the patrimonial court to August von Schmauß . His heirs sold this to the former hammer mill owner Kerschmann from Silberhütte. That was the reason to withdraw the court rights and to extradate them to the district court of Neunburg. In 1946 the previously independent community of Schwarzeneck was incorporated into Schwarzhofen.

Schwarzeneck Castle today

The current castle was built around 1735, as evidenced by a year on the roof. The very neat two-storey building has a double mansard roof with a split gable portal . The building facade, which is kept in yellow, is structured with white pilaster strips . In front of it there is a three-sided ensemble of farm buildings. On the upper floor there are rooms with wall paintings (two lake landscapes and allegorical figures with decorative elements in the classical style) from around 1800. The building is now part of an agricultural property.

Burgstall Schwarzeneck

The medieval castle Schwarzeneck stood on the edge of the mountain on a ledge into the Schwarzachtal and near the castle. From this Schwarzeneck castle only a stable with a (walled up) underground passage is preserved, which is partly built over by a farm (Schwarzeneck No. 15). Presumably this building was destroyed in the course of the Thirty Years War and then not rebuilt. The place was sold by Freifrau von Horneck in 1751 to a previous owner of the current farm.
