history

The construction of the castle Breitenegg took place from 1210 to 1230 by Wernher IV. Of Laaber (* 1209, † 1234). Around 1285 Wernher V. von Laaber (* 1247; † 1289) sold Breitenegg Castle to the Counts of Hirschberg . They sold these to Hadmar von Laaber in 1302. In 1465 Conrad Hereditary Marshal zu Pappenheim inherited the rule of Breitenegg. From 1473 to 1592 the Wildenstein gentlemen were von Breitenegg. From 1611 to 1624 the rule of Breitenegg was with the Duchy of Bavaria . In 1624, Elector Maximilian von Bayern gave his general Johann t'Serclaes von Tilly the rule, which was expanded by 3 villages. 1654 the heir to the late 1632 Imperial Count Tilly received for possession of imperial rule Breitenegg seat and a vote on the diets . With the death of Count Ferdinand von Tilly († 1724), the Tilly tribe became extinct and the fiefdoms were confiscated from the Bavarian spa. In 1733 the sister of the last count moved the maintenance office from the castle to the newly built palace in Breitenbrunn. In 1744 the family from Tilly died out on Breitenegg. The allodial goods of imperial rule were sold by the barons of Gumppenberg to the Bavarian elector Karl Theodor in 1792 . From 1724 until the end of the Old Kingdom (1806), the Elector of Bavaria already led the vote for Breitenegg at the district assemblies, but (according to Moser) no longer in an imperial counts college.
