history

The progenitor of the Waldecker Walchun is first mentioned in a document in 1120, he probably comes from Waldeck near Schliersee . 1133 a Walchun de Waldekke is called. The Waldeck brothers made peace on August 18, 1272 due to an arbitration award from Pilgrim von Tannberg. In 1280 an Ortlof von Waldeck is mentioned, who handed over a farm. In 1321 and 1323 a Hadmar von Waldeck († 1337) is mentioned as he donated four farms to the Engelszell monastery . A Meingot dictus de Waldecke died in 1324 and was buried in Passau Cathedral. With Hadmar's son Ortlof V, the Waldeckers died out.

Waldeck Castle today

The Hausberganlage cut out of the natural terrain, known locally as "G'schloß in der Schnölzen", was the seat of the Lords of Waldeck. The frustoconical core has an oval plateau in plan and is sealed off from the hinterland on the north side by walls and ditches . Next to it is a double fortified farm yard with a rectangular floor plan, connected to the fortification system of the Hausberg, in the center of which the location of a rectangular building can be seen.

Recent impairments due to delivery routes can be identified. In the process, layers of culture were removed with medieval ceramics and thus destroyed.
