history
Origin of name
Kager means something like stilts, dense bushes, living fence. The name is very common and can be found in many areas of Old Bavaria and Austria.
Gender name
In the Middle Ages, the family of the Kagerer (aka Kager, von der Kager ), who had their seat on Geigant (Lkr. Cham), among others , was mentioned in this area . This widespread German knightly family is said to have taken its name from their ancestral castle Kager and the village Kager (later Kogerau until 1945, today Kolová ), east of Königsberg ad Eger .
Documentary information about the ownership structure
The region around Kager originally belonged (from 1009) to the possessions of the Bamberg diocese . Before it belonged to the collegiate monastery of the old chapel in Regensburg.
In 1413 Ruprecht Donnersteiner received in the dispute over the estate of a Pemflinger whose all possessions except "daz dorff zu kager with everything belong, daz fief is from the noble Bystump zu Babenperg". Around 1454 the Eyttenharter (Eittenharter) are certified as owners, of whom Ruprecht calls himself "zue der Kager". Since 1437, this family was also jointly owned by the Pemfling court.
In 1488 at the latest, Kager was raised to Hofmark . It held a special position among the court brands in this area: it was not always inheritable.
In 1518 the Landsasse Mertein Ziegler (Zigler) held the fiefdom , who was also the keeper of Wetterfeld . From 1539 Jörg von Murach is the owner. He was followed in 1550 as co-owner, then sole owner, Endress Georg von Murach , then in 1584 his stepson Hans Christoph Fuchs the Younger, who received Kager by will from his stepfather. In the tax book of 1590 the entire property of the fox is summarized under Kager, with Pemfling, Darstein, Döfering, Grafenkirchen, Löwendorf, Engelsdorf, Rhan, Balbersdorf and Rackelsdorf mentioned, to name only the most important villages. In 1610, Fuchs sold Kager to Colonel Georg Wolf Kolb von Raindorf, which resulted in the final solution from the Pemflinger legacy. After the Thirty Years War , Kager came to the Schwenck family. After her father Georg Andreas Mathias von Schwenck, Rittmeister Matthias von Schwenck, who was also city treasurer in Cham, and his brother Johann Friedrich lived in the estate in 1726 . Later, a branch of the Barons von Vieregg lived on Kager before it came to the Drechsel family in 1755 through the marriage of Karl Josef Anton von Drechsel (1723–1785) and Marie Anna Franziska von Vieregg. Their son Joseph Maria Freiherr v. Drechsel (1754–1780) and the grandson Karl Joseph Graf v. D. called themselves from or on Kager.
From the early 19th century on, Kager was finally still in the possession of Andreas von Moreau (* 1765, name later Germanised to Moro ), a former Napoleonic and then Bavarian captain. In 1820, the Ministry of the Interior gave it permission to form a second class patrimonial court .
In 1831 the state acquired the Dominicals including jurisdiction, after the fields and meadows belonging to the castle had already been divided or sold among 36 properties in the same year.
Parish affiliation
Kager originally belonged to the parish of Pemfling, but joined the parish of Stamsried in the middle of the 16th century , as Pemfling professed Luther's teaching, and thus remained Catholic. On July 12, 1867, Kager was parish again in the parish of Pemfling.
Origin of the village - Kager today
Originally, the estate, which was also known as Auf der Kager until the 18th century , was only surrounded by the Selden and day laborer's apartments that belonged to it. Through the division of the arable and meadow land, today's village emerged from the former Hofmark Kager (the smallest closed Hofmark of the Cham regional court ). In 1946 the Kager parish was dissolved and moved to Pemfling. This concluded the independent history of the old noble seat.
Although the natural center of a place, the church, is missing, the old part of the village still seems rarely closed. The uniform origin from the old manor is clear. More recently, a settlement (also called “Strasskager” by the inhabitants) has emerged on the road just outside the old village.
Castle Kager / Hofmarkschloss Kager
location
At the highest point of an approx. 20 m high, clearly sloping spur foothills on three sides to approx. 407 m above sea level. NN.
Building development
The original residential castle was probably built in the second half of the 15th century as a residential castle and court yard for the Eyttenhart family until 1518, when the owners changed. On the Apian map from 1568, the buildings are almost as large as the important places Runding and Arnschwang and show a large two-story building with a stepped gable between two towers. Walls with loopholes represent the connection. It was probably destroyed in the Thirty Years War, the fortifications were abandoned and only the main building was rebuilt using older parts, only functional. In 1726 M. Wening called it "Hauß". In 1831 only three buildings lined up in a row can be seen in a free space.
Current condition
Of the old Hofmark buildings, sparse remains of the wall can only be seen on house number 20: walls made of quarry stone that are up to 1.2 m thick on the lower floor, but taper to 80 cm on the first floor. In addition, barrel-vaulted cellars from the late Middle Ages have been preserved under this . The building is heavily modernized and built. Other remains of the wall and a vault were cut in during construction work in the neighborhood in the 1960s.
Economy - population development
Around 1800 the country estate Kager was one of the places with the most numerous linen weavers in the Cham care court . However, the remote location of the village was not conducive to its economic development. Today there are only a few farms left. The number of inhabitants already decreased in the 19th century. It is reported that in the year 1865 in Kager and in the neighboring Engelsdorf the dysentery disease prevailed in "epidemic degree" and not a day passed without people dying of this disease.
