Egloffsteiner Palais (Sulzbach-Rosenberg)
The Egloffsteiner Palais is a Gothic secular building from the 15th century, which originally served as the seat of the Egloffstein family in the former residence town of Sulzbach (today Sulzbach-Rosenberg ). Due to an incorrect attribution of a coat of arms, the building is erroneously listed in older literature as "Hundtsche's house".
description
The late Gothic building with a gable roof is mainly made of stone and partially supplemented with half-timbering. Next to the entrance portal with a round arch there is a coat of arms relief showing the bear head of the Egloffstein family. The erroneous interpretation as a dog led to the wrong attribution of the coat of arms to the Hundt family . In the course of the restoration work from 2005 to 2007, a plank beam ceiling from 1470 and parts of a plank wall that originally enclosed the entire room were found under a ceiling suspension from the 18th century. Several rooms were decorated with wall paintings. For cost reasons, these were only partially made accessible and otherwise conserved under plaster.
history
The building was built in 1470 for the Egloffstein family on the basis of a previous square building from the first half of the 14th century. Evidence suggests that the previous building could even date from the Romanesque period. The construction work, which was complex for the time, and the decoration with wall paintings document the importance that the Egloffstein family attached to their seat in the then royal seat of Sulzbach. After Sulzbach was no longer a residential town, the building passed into civil ownership. In 1870 the city poor house was set up there. Since 1970 at the latest, the building was in need of renovation, mainly due to dry rot, so that demolition was even considered. After the € 1.2 million renovation between 2005 and 2006, the building is now used as the city archive and the headquarters of the Knorr-von-Rosenroth Society and the Richard Bauer Foundation.
