Sazenhofen (also Satzenhofen ) is the name of an old, originally Lower Bavarian noble family .
history
Origin and ennoblement
"Gissilolt de Saczenhoven" appeared as the first documented representative of the sex in 1164. He was named as a witness in a document from the Schäftlarn monastery in the Isar valley . Later, members of the family settled in Lower Bavaria as well as in Upper Palatinate , mainly in the area around Regensburg . In the diocese of Regensburg they were given the office of chamberlain .
In the 15th century, the family owned the Fuchsberg rule (today a district of the Teunz community ). A main line was formed there that still exists, while the lines to Miesbach-Oedt, Wildenau-Plößberg and Püchersreuth-Pertolzhofen have expired again.
In 1717 the family received an imperial baron diploma and part of the Püchersreuth-Pertolzhofen line was transferred to the counts in 1732 . The Rothenstadt branch of the Fuchsberg line was entered into the baron class of nobility registers in the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1815 .
possession
Upper Palatinate - Hofmark Wildenau and Plößberg
The von Sazenhofen family came to Burg and Hofmark Wildenau in 1653 with Christoph Albrecht von Sazenhofen and were in their possession until the line died out in 1782.
Christoph Adam von Sazenhofen and his wife Anna Renate Countess von Götz from Bohemia are considered to be the donors of the St. Thaddäus Chapel in 1709. The Hofmark Plößberg , which is neighboring Wildenau, was sold by the Sazenhofen family on March 20, 1711 to Johann Christoph Erdmann von Lindenfels on Thumsenreuth . Christoph Adam and his wife moved to the apparently more lucrative Bohemian estates.
Kreuzberg Castle
About the eldest daughter of Baron Wilhelm Wierich Dietrich von Bernsau zu Schweinheim. Maria Anna, Kreuzberg Castle came to her husband, Count Carl Martin Ferdinand von Sazenhofen. In 1760 the couple had the castle's residential building rebuilt. At that time there was also a building on the south side of the inner castle, which can be clearly seen on an ink drawing by the Walloon artist Renier Roidkin from 1725.
Other possessions in the Upper Palatinate
Properties can be found in Michelsneukirchen , Plößberg , Treffelstein , Wildenau, Rötz and Sengersberg . The von Sazenhofen family built a neo-Gothic crypt chapel from 1863 on the site of an old rampart near Weiden in the Rothenstadt district of Keckenburg .
