Kopfsburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The village of Kopfsburg (approx. 120 inhabitants) is one of the largest districts of Lengdorf in the Upper Bavarian district of Erding . The place, which has a slightly scattered structure in parts, is located in the east of the municipality, on the district road from Lengdorf to Dorfen . In the 19th century the place was legally divided into Oberkopfsburg and Unterkopfsburg.

history

Kopfsburg Castle 1699 on a painting in the Fürstengang Freising

In 1080 the place with the noble Chopf zu Kopfsburg , who had their first residence ( Burg Kropfsburg ) on the Badberger hill (3 castle stables were found there), was first mentioned. It is believed that the family were related to the Fraunbergers . In 1405 their castle collapsed and a new building was built next door. Ehrentraut Kopf von Kopfsburg , the daughter of the last male heir, married Wolfwein von Preysing . Thus, the place, the noble seat and thus also the Hofmark Kopfsburg, passed to the Preysing family, which is very important for Bavaria . In 1506 the Preysing then built a new castle, probably on the mound of earth on the northern edge of the village, surrounded by a moat. That was destroyed by the Swedes in 1632 or 1646 in the Thirty Years War. Via the Blarer von Wartensee (1628) and Jocher von und zu Eggersberg (1651), the place and the castle came back to the Preysings in 1668. The Freising Prince-Bishop Albrecht Sigismund of Bavaria acquired the Kopfsburg property from them. Prince-Bishop Johann F. Eckher von Kapfing had the palace completely renovated in 1698 and transformed into a baroque building.

Remnants of the site of the lost Kopfsburg Castle

In 1802, Kopfsburg fell to the Bavarian state as part of secularization . In 1808 the future opera singer Auguste von Faßmann was born in the castle . The castle was demolished in 1814. The now drained and tree-covered moat with the mound has remained in place to this day. All streets in the village have names associated with the history of the castle.

The construction of the Isental motorway , which opened in 2019, divides the former Oberkopfsburg into two halves.
