Schenkenau is a district of the Bavarian community Waidhofen in the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen to the southwest .
history
The name Schenkenau can be traced back to the old Bavarian noble family of the Schenk from the Au and describes their ancestral seat. This is inextricably linked with the estate, the former Schenkenau Castle and the former castle chapel and today's St. Nikolaus branch church. The reason for the settlement is likely to be the nearby ministries of the Counts of Scheyern and the resulting noble dynasty of the Wittelsbachers .
The exact origin is not dated. The fortress is likely to have been built by the Schenk from the Au between 1109 and 1135. With the sale by Eberhart Schenk von der Au to Duke Wilhelm III. von Bayern-Munich 1417 a lively change of owners of Schenkenau began. Duke Wilhelm III. sold Schenkenau in 1422 to Wernher von Seyboltsdorf and he founded the Seyboltsdorf-Schenkenau line, which remained in the possession of the castle and Hofmark until 1608 . In 1608 the manor was sold to Moritz von Rorbach by the brothers Stephan, Johann-Georg and Johann-Albrecht von Seyboltsdorf zu Schenkenau . The castle was destroyed in 1632 in the course of the Thirty Years' War and Moritz's son Heinrich von Rorbach sold Schenkenau again in 1639 to the marshal and caretaker of Reichertshofen Johann Caspar von Eglof von Zell. The castle was rebuilt by around 1700. As early as 1711, however, Schenkenau returned to the possession of Count Johann Franz-Xaver von Freien-Seyboltstorf, the curator of the Moosburg district court , but was sold by his sons to Baron Johann Joseph von Weichs in 1739 and passed to his cousin in 1740 Count Karl von Preysing over. It was not until 1811 that the ownership changed again as the Schenkenau of Count Siegmund von Preysing, the governor of Ingolstadt, to whom Rittmeister Freiherr Maximilian Emanuel von Perfall was sold. Since this landowner was from Greiffenberg am Ammersee and did not live on site, he no longer had any use for the castle and ordered the razing of the castle in 1812 , which lasted until 1815. The Hofmark was converted as part of the municipality of Waidhofen in the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria in 1818. In 1839 the properties in Schenkenau were sold to Count Maximilian August von Törring-Gutenzell .
