The Gustavsburg is a Baroque building of the Swedish architect Jonas Eriksson Sundahl in saar Palatine place Jägersburg . The building was once called Hattweiler Castle , was renamed Hansweiler Castle in 1590 and finally Gustavsburg in 1720 . It is located in the center of Jägersburg directly on the 1.7 hectare large castle pond .
history
Remnants of the building reveals that the complex was originally a Salian border castle, which was destroyed by Barbarossa around 1168 and then rebuilt as the Stauferburg.
After the fall of the Staufer emperors, the castle ( called Hattweiler Castle ) fell to the Counts of Zweibrücken . A vassal of the Zweibrücken, a Bartholomäus von Hattweiler , is mentioned for the first time in 1272. His successors were Waitier von Hattweiler (1282) and Thielemann von Hattweiler (1318). In 1402 the castle was pledged to Philip von Nassau-Saarbrücken . Elisabeth von Nassau-Saarbrücken liked the system so much that she replaced the original name Hautefeuille with Hattweiler in the former French Minnelied which she incorporated in the Moselle-Franconian chivalric novel "Sibille". Other sonorous names such as Hermann Boos von Waldeck , Anselm von Bitsch and Symont Mauchenheimer , Hans Ryten Esel von Ruschenburg , Alheim Eckbrecht von Dürckheim , Albrecht von Morsheim and Philipp Breder von Hohenstein followed as owners of the castle.
During the war between Franz von Sickingen and the Trier Archbishop Richard von Greiffenklau (1522) the castle fell to the Trier family and the owner of Hohenstein was imprisoned in Wittlich . His sons got the castle back 20 years later (1543) and passed it on to Friedrich von Steinkallenfels . He sold it to Johann von Warsberg , who sold it to Duke Johann I von Pfalz-Zweibrücken , who converted it into a castle in 1590. In 1622 a watchtower was added to the complex. The castle burned down during the Thirty Years War . In 1666, Duke Friedrich Ludwig had a residential building with a barn and stables built in its place. In 1720 Duke Gustav Samuel Leopold had the Sundahl residential building renovated in the Baroque style and a chapel added, and named the complex Gustavsburg after himself . After the French Revolution , Gustavsburg Castle came into the possession of the forester Christian Lindemann , in 1842 in the Bavarian Forest Administration , before it was taken over by the Jägersburg community in 1973. 1978–1981 the city of Homburg had Gustavsburg restored with grants from the Saarland .
