history

The name of the place indicates a settlement of the Turdil . Behind it hides the Dipolding ministerial family of the Thierlingers , who later took their seat at Thierlstein Castle .

A Witoldus de Turdelingen is mentioned in a tradition of the Reichenbach monastery , which is dated between 1118/19 and 1125. A Willehard de Turdelingen named in the middle of the 12th century is considered his son. The third generation of this family can be identified with Albert von Thierling , who is mentioned in an Oberalteich tradition from 1167–1170 and who also appears as a witness in Reichenbach Abbey during this time. Between 1190 and 1204 the brothers Ernst and Hartwig von Thierling are mentioned, and one time there is also a Friedrich I. von Thierling .

After the Diepoldinger died out, the Thierlingers switched to the ministry of the Wittelsbachers . Between 1234 and 1247 a dominus Ebo de Tvrdeling appears in the Oberalteich monastery, later also in a tradition of the St. Nikola monastery and in the Niederalteich monastery . In 1254 he appears together with a Wichmann I. von Thiering as a witness in Reichenbach. In 1254 Gotpold I. von Thierling appears twice as a witness in Passau and Niederalteich, Konrad I. von Thierling is named as a witness in Cham . In 1287 an Evco von Thierling appears in a document from the Schönthal monastery . His presumed brother Bertholdus von Thierling is mentioned once in 1299. Between 1303 and 1324 Wichmann II can often be found in the documents of the Schönthal monastery. An Ebo III. von Thierling must have been his brother. On January 20, 1329, he and his brother Stefan I acquired half of the Pösinger Au from Albrecht von Schönstein . In 1333 a dispute broke out between the Regensburg Abbey of the Old Chapel and the two brothers about this property, which was resolved by a ducal arbitration. Ebo III. still appears frequently in Schönthal and Reichenbacher documents, he probably died around 1375. Stefan I was a judge in Cham; he also held this office in 1349, when he appeared together with his brother Gotpold II as a witness when her sister-in-law Margarete von Thierling handed over a court to the Schönthal monastery . In 1360 he is the holder of the vice office in Straubing .

In 1365 Stefan I called himself Thierlstein for the first time, so at that time the headquarters was relocated to Thierlstein Castle. The facility in Thierling should not have been given up immediately, because Wolfhart Thierlinger named himself after this place in 1411 . This castle probably came to an end in the 15th century.
