Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul
Sattelpeilnstein Castle

location

The parish village is located at an altitude of around 530 to 560 meters in the so-called Traitschinger hill country near the old trade route from Straubing to Cham .

etymology

In old documents, today's castle ruins are called Pilstein , Peilstein and Peylstein , as well as Peilnstein and Peylnstein . Unfortunately, this often leads to confusion with the Regenpeilstein near Roding . Only assumptions can be made about the origin of the name Sattelpeilnstein. So Peilnstein could be derived from Bil (= hatchet, butcher's knife) and Stein (sacrificial stone), which had a bowl-like depression with a blood channel. The name could, however, also come from pilstones from the early days, the arrangement of which was based on the orbit of the stars. When and how the word “saddle” was added is also questionable. It seems likely that the ridge was shaped like a saddle. In the dialect the village is only referred to as Beistoi .

history

Castle and chateau

The remains of the walls of Castle Sattelpeilnstein are located on a granite dome, called Hoher Gockel , which is under nature protection . It was laid out by the Diepolders against the Counts of Bogen . Exact dates for the formation of the castle are not known. A "Rapoto von Pilstein" was first mentioned in a document in 1166. For centuries the castle was the ancestral seat of the Peilsteiners. After its extinction, Peilstein became the seat of pledge holders, starting in 1348 with Wolfhart Zenger. Around 1370, Peilstein Castle was mentioned as the seat of a care and regional court, including Chamerau and the cities of Furth im Wald and Kötzting . The names of the nurses changed frequently. In the course of time the castle became very dilapidated, the seat of the regional court was even relocated. The castle fell into disrepair even under the following caretakers, so Duke Albrecht V decided to give it to his cousin Justinian, who called himself von Peilnstein from this point on. In the meantime, however, the castle was so badly deteriorated that Justinian had the Sattelpeilnstein Castle built below the ruins around 1571 . After his death in May 1591, his son Hans Georg took over the estate, who, like his father, was known to the population as greedy and unjust. He died in 1622 without leaving any descendants. Then Duke Maximilian gave the castle to the President of the Court Chamber and keeper of Rottenburg Oswald Schuß. The von Schuss family earned great honors and fortunes for themselves and their estate, despite the hard times of the Thirty Years' War. It is thanks to your donations that the parish church was rebuilt in the first half of the 18th century. Various lords of the castle followed the last shot. From 1778 the castle was owned by Baron von Pelkoven. He was followed in 1780 by an imperial baron von und zu Weichs. From 1790 the imperial noble Johann Georg von Silberbauer resided in the castle. He tried to increase the yield of the estate by planting crops that were unknown at the time. A chestnut tree (in dialect: Stechanussbam ) from this time stood below the brewery building until 2014. Due to the extravagance and lack of understanding of his second wife, the property degenerated into a miserable state. In 1830, the church administration of Sattelpeilnstein acquired the entire estate and sold many pieces of land to the village population. The rest of the completely dilapidated castle property was finally bought by Otto Schauer from Passau in 1842. Thanks to him, the property soon regained its old reputation, despite a devastating fire in 1868 in which the castle and the brewery were almost completely destroyed. After the reconstruction, which took over 20 years, the weather vane of a castle tower was given the year 1891, the year of completion. In addition, he acquired Loifling Castle in 1885 and Zandt Castle in 1898 with his son Vinzenz Schauer. The Sattelpeilnstein Castle and Gut are still privately owned today.

brewery

The local brewery was first mentioned in a document in 1348, making it one of the oldest in the area. The castle owners, who changed numerous times over the centuries, also always took care of the brewing operations. In 1842 it was acquired by Otto Schauer from Passau together with the rest of the ruined castle property. His son Vinzenz Schauer took over the estate in 1874. After a severe fire, he had the castle brewery rebuilt in 1868 and was able to increase beer production significantly, which ultimately made it the largest brewery between Straubing and Cham at that time. With the cessation of the brewery in 1992, however, these golden times ended. However, beer is still sold today by the Schlossbrauerei Sattelpeilnstein, which is produced in a contract brewing process by another brewery.

Parish Church of St. Peter and Paul

The current parish church of St. Peter and Paul was preceded by an earlier one. Unfortunately no data are known about this first church. The time when the parish was founded is also largely unknown. We know that in the year 739 monks from the Benedictine monastery of St. Emmeram in Regensburg founded the Chammünster monastery and promoted Christianization in this area. Since all the churches in the district, including St. Jakob in Cham, were branches of the early Chammünster church, it is assumed that these monks were also the builders of the first church. A Romanesque- style window built into the church tower suggests the time before 1250. The old church stood in the same place as the current parish church. Only the square tower made of granite blocks is left of it. Its location and height suggest that the old church was smaller. The church tower was covered with a blunt pointed roof. The equipment inside and outside was probably rather poor. In 1728, the old parish church was so dilapidated that a new building was inevitable, which was only possible with the generous support of the lords of the castle von Schuss (1622–1767). In their honor, the church administration installed grave tablets in the church. The construction of the church was carried out by Pastor Matthäus Deser, of whom a tombstone in the parish church still reminds us today. The tower is raised by an octagonal floor and provided with a baroque onion dome. The baptismal font, the high altar and the side altars date from the second half of the 18th century. In the years from 1977 to 1981 the church was thoroughly renovated inside and out under Pastor Konrad Senft at a cost of more than 1 million DM.

In addition to the parish church, there were two chapels in the cemetery. One in the northeast was dedicated to the Blessed Mother and is now used as a cemetery chapel, the other was dedicated to St. Joseph and was probably in the southwest.

The original rectory was converted into a school building in 1687 (today: Tiedemann House). This was followed by a new rectory during the Thirty Years War, which was moved into in 1645. In 1979 this had to give way to a new building in the course of the cemetery expansion.

The Marian column was built in 1878 by the son of the late rulership hunter Josef Ennerst, who ran a general store in today's Jägergasse.

today

From 1860 to 1970 the number of inhabitants of the parish village decreased from 195 to 157. The reasons were the overall unfavorable farm structure with small farms and a lack of alternative sources of income. In 1970 the community of Sattelpeilnstein had 980 inhabitants. 28.4% were employed in agriculture and forestry, 35.6% in manufacturing.

In 1946 the former municipality of Birnbrunn was incorporated. The municipality of Sattelpeilnstein was incorporated into Traitsching on January 1, 1972 together with Sattelbogen .

In 1956, the picturesque mountain village was used as the location for the home film Waldwinter , which featured top-class actors such as Klaus Kinski , Gert Fröbe and Beppo Brem .

In 1989, Sattelpeilnstein received the state prize in the near-natural habitat competition and, from 1990 to 1995, gold and silver medals in the competition Our village should become more beautiful on a district, district, state and federal level.
