history

In the area of ​​the current location, several artificially created ponds were created in the late Middle Ages for the purpose of fish farming. Like the forest itself, these were originally owned by the Wittelsbach family . In the 15th century the facility was owned by the von Abensberg family . In 1482, Mr. Niclas von Abensberg left the ponds as fiefs to his judge and castner, Dieter Schaidfellt. With the death of Niklas, the Weiherstätten, together with the Abensberg rulership itself, returned to the Wittelsbach family.

In 1506 Duke Albrecht IV sold a "private house" in the city of Neustadt, including the seven ponds near Mühlhausen and an eight-day meadow to Hans Zenner, the keeper of Neustadt. In the second half of the 16th century, the Trautzkirchner zu Kapfelberg acquired the property. The last owner of the family was the ducal counselor and carer of Abbach , Hans Lorenz von Trautzkirchen and his wife Helene, née Stinglhaim. On September 24, 1565, the childless couple from Trautzkirchen sold the property to their brother-in-law or brother Ludwig Franz von Stingelhaim zu Thürnthenning .

Ludwig Franz, who served as cupbearer , truchess and Jägermeister in the service of various high-ranking aristocrats, was the keeper of Neustadt and owner of Hofmark Offendorf . He died on October 31, 1593. His epitaph , a red marble slab with a relief portrait of the deceased in armor, is in the parish church of St. Laurentius in Neustadt . His son Hans Christoph, owner of the Hofmark Wildenberg and canon of the Regensburg bishopric , was the successor to the property . In 1599, Duke Maximilian allowed him to name his “private” courtyard, the Weiherhof, now the zu Karpfenstein, and therefore to build a wall at 50 × 40 paces. The palace complex is likely to date from this time as it was handed down by Michael Wening in his engraving. After the death of Hans Christoph, his stepbrother Hans Walter von Stinglhaim zu Thürnthenning and Karpfenstein inherited the castle complex. Hans Walter, originally kurbayerischer advice nurse from Schongau , lieutenant colonel in the army of electors and founder of the Capuchin Monastery Donauwörth was 1629 Capuchin monk . He left Karpfenstein to his single sister Anna Barbara.

After severe destruction in the Thirty Years War and because of high indebtedness, Anna Barbara von Stinglheim transferred her property, including the Karpfenstein manor complex, to the Jesuit college in Landshut , which Karpfenstein exchanged for the Jesuit college in Ingolstadt in 1651 . After the Jesuit order was dissolved , Karpfenstein came into the possession of the Malteserkommende Biburg . The last written news about the state of the castle's buildings comes from the year 1785: "Siz Kärpfenstein: Consists of an old brick tower, in which the pond keeper Thomas Egger has a vacant apartment including seven ponds and a patch of grass".

In the course of secularization , the goods came into the possession of the Bavarian state, which sold them to private individuals at the beginning of the 19th century, turning the former castle estate into a hamlet with two private farms. After the attempt to operate a mill there failed, the ponds were abandoned in the 19th century and converted into agricultural land. Nothing has survived from the former palace complex. The place was incorporated into the city of Neustadt an der Donau on January 1, 1978 as part of the municipal area reform together with the municipality of Mühlhausen.
