history
The Pellerschloss is located in the south of Nuremberg, right in the center of Fischbach . It is one of a total of 76 mansions that were built between the 12th and 18th centuries in what is now the city of Nuremberg. In Fischbach alone there were five such seats, three of which are still standing. In the Middle Ages, Fischbach was the seat of a Reichsministerial, a Zeidelgut (farm that had the right to keep bees in the Reichsforst and to “cut” honey) and the administrative seat of one of the 14 forest huts of the Lorenzer Reichswald . The Pellerschloss was an independent manor house. The castle was first mentioned in a document in the 14th century as the so-called "Burgstall". It then probably served as a pond house, was probably destroyed in the city war between the Swabian League of Towns and the Duchy of Bavaria in 1388 and was rebuilt as a pond house before 1400 . It was surrounded by a moat that was fed by the Fischbach . In 1405 it came into the possession of the patrician family of Holzschuher , who owned it until 1506. Later it became the property of other patrician families; from 1506/1507 it belonged to Matthias Melber. The existence of a manor house can be documented for the first time in 1517, when Matthias Melber opened the moated castle to the city citizens of Nuremberg.
The ownership passed to Jakob Welser in 1527 , who bequeathed the seat to his son of the same name in 1541. From 1527 to 1557 the castle belonged to the Welsers . In the Second Margrave War in 1552/1553 the half-timbered upper floors were destroyed. In 1557 the estate went to the Schmittmayr family, under whose rule the beginning of the reconstruction took place. Thomas Philipp von Murach acquired the Pellerschloss from the Schmittmayrs in 1573. He and his wife Felicitas von Redwitz finally restored the castle completely. Your alliance coat of arms has been preserved on the south side. In 1609 the castle went to the Imhoff , which repaired some damage from the Thirty Years' War, and in 1677 to the Paumgartner von Holnstein and Grünsberg . From 1687 the castle was owned by the Peller von Schoppershof patrician family . The current name Peller schloss also comes from this family . The Peller patrician family originally came from Radolfzell on Lake Constance . She came to Nuremberg as a merchant family and quickly rose to become one of the wealthiest patrician families in Nuremberg; Martin Peller had the Pellerhaus built on Nuremberg's Egidienplatz as early as 1602 . Smaller repair work was carried out on the Pellerschloss in 1722/23, especially on the outside area. With the death of the last descendant of the Peller family, Captain Friedrich Peller von Schoppershof, who succumbed to the wounds he had received in the Battle of Wörth (Bataille de Reichshoffen), the Peller family died out on August 6, 1870.
In 1872 the Pellerschloss was sold by the family's heirs for 18,000 guilders . At times it was used as a restaurant in the following years. In 1962 the Fischbach community acquired the property. Since the incorporation of Fischbach in July 1972, it has belonged to the city of Nuremberg, under whose administration it is also.
construction
In its oldest construction, the castle rested on a windowless stone base with only loopholes . Above it are two protruding half-timbered upper floors with a gable roof with a small whale set . The upper floors are supported by inclined support beams. The little choir was included in the wooden construction from the start; it is the only one of its kind in the Nuremberg area. The Peller coat of arms can be found above the arch on the north side. The plastering was removed at the beginning of the 20th century. The reconstruction after the Second Margrave War took place on the old sandstone plinth. The castle suffered minor damage in the Thirty Years' War . In the years 1722/23, minor repair work was carried out on the moats and bridges in the outer area, which had to be carried out in Stein according to the requirements of the Forestry and Forest Office. The defenses that were still in existence at that time were finally removed after 1751. A garden was created with the sandstone wall that exists today . Several sculptures are now in the garden .
