Adertshausen Castle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lost Adertshausen Castle was located in the Adertshausen district of the Upper Palatinate market Hohenburg in the Amberg-Sulzbach district of Bavaria . The castle was about 500 m southeast of the parish church of St. Peter von Adertshausen. At the place of the castle was the Kopp inn, whose house name was "beim Gmeiner" (= near the walls ), possibly the former Meierhof belonging to the castle .

history

The name Adertshausen was first mentioned in a deed of donation from 1243, in which Count Diepold VIII von Hohenburg confirmed the donation of the Hohenburg lordship to the Regensburg bishopric . Friedrich and Rabanus von Eidrathusen appeared as witnesses to the donation . A Kuno von Adertshausen was abbot in the Kastl monastery from 1240 to 1262 . In 1264 a Rabeno von Adertshausen was named, either the above Rabanus or his son.

On August 20, 1295, Bishop Heinrich II von Rotteneck and Count Gebhard von Hirschberg signed a contract on the distribution of the descendants that would result from the marriage of Friedrich von Adertshausen with a daughter of Konrad Schweppermann , a servant of Count von Hirschberg . Friedrich was a son of Ulrich von Adertshausen. Otto the Adertshausener acknowledged on 30 November 1378 to Burg Burglengenfeld obtaining 24 pounds Regensburg pennies to him for his for Duke Ruprecht damages suffered by the Vizedom of Amberg, Konrad von Rosenberg were paid. This Otto was a judge at Rieden in 1382 , but it was always said of him “sat at Adertshausen”. On June 29, 1405, his daughter Osana, married to Ludwig the Sinzenhofer zu Lengenfeld, received various goods from the Regensburg Monastery, including Adertshausen Castle. She shared the fiefdom with Wilhelm Raitenbuch , probably Osana's brother.

Ludwig Sinzenhofer sold the fortress that had come to him through his wife with all accessories for 300 Rhenish guilders to Heinrich Telwanger zu Lengenfeld. He died around 1427, after which the Adertshausen Castle passed to the Scharpfenberg family. On May 1, 1453, Duke Ludwig of Bavaria enfeoffed Mathias Scharpfenberger with Adertshausen and other goods that had previously belonged to Heinrich Telwanger. Mathias was followed by his two sons Heinrich and Christoph. The sister Barbara was the widow of Peter Kastner from Gärbershof Castle from 1467 . The two brothers divided their two noble seats on November 21, 1453, Heinrich kept Adertshausen and Christoph received the Hofmark Lengenfeld . On April 21, 1466 Heinrich sold Adertshausen for 350 fl to his brother Christoph. With the consent of the Regensburg bishop, he handed over his seat in Adertshausen to his wife Margaretha, née von Plankenfels, on September 30, 1476 .

However, his heirs had the right to redeem the seat for 750 fl if Margaretha should "move the Wittib chair", that is, should marry again. The widowed Margaretha first sold the property to her son Hans Scharpfenberger in 1493. She must have fallen out with this, however, because on February 4, 1496 she sold to Kaspar von Plankenfels (possibly her father). This led to a rift with the Scharpfenberger heirs, which was only resolved by an arbitration award of November 15, 1500. The widow Elisabeth Scharpfenberger and her children came to an agreement with Kaspar von Plankenfels after the Adertshausen seat was retained for him against a pledge of 400 fl. Elisabeth married Wolfgang Punzinger von Allersburg in 1487 , but was named again in 1492 as a widow with underage children. The redemption of the pledged castle took place in 1531 by Hans Scharpfenberger. But on November 29, 1531, Georg von Plankenfels zu Hohendreßwitz confessed that he had acquired the Adertshausen seat with the Raversdorf farms when an inheritance was shared with his brother Otto. Hans Scharpfenberger also owned Allersburg Castle .

The Scharpfenbergers were the last nobles to live here. Thereafter the property remained the episcopal chamber property . In 1602 the bishopric exchanged the Adertshausen property according to the Hohenburg maintenance office bill from Pfalz-Neuburg for 850 fl. On August 29, 1619 Ludwig Scharpfenberger waived the redemption of Adertshausen after receiving 300 florins against Bishop Albert von Toerring-Stein .

As early as 1613 Adertshausen was referred to as a "desolate seat or castle, called the old walls", in 1612 only "empty, torn wall walls without roofing" were left. In 1656 stone material was removed and the Romanesque portal used for the Stettkirchen pilgrimage church .
