history

A Hans Afterhausen appears on March 8, 1421 in the entourage of the Bavarian Duke, when he and others signed a letter of rejection on the side of Duke Ludwig against his opponent (the reference to the Afterhausen seat is, however, controversial). On January 9, 1491, Caspar Afterhauser received the fishing water from Duke Georg von Bayern at Afterhausen in the Rott as well as a meadow mowing. In 1494 a Caspar Afterhauser is mentioned again with the addition of Afterhausen . Afterhausen was still in the hands of this family in 1505, Jörg Aftershauser's daughter is listed as the owner. In 1510 the Seibersdorf family appeared here , although the change of ownership probably came about through a marriage.

In 1522 Afterhausen was classified as a noble seat. The Seibersdorfer can be proven here up to the death of Antoni Seibersdorf on October 28, 1538. Then his widow Ursula von Nußdorf followed until 1540 , who was later married to Alexander Nothphia zum Bodenstein. On September 13, 1543 Paul Pelkofer is proven to be the owner of Afterhausen. A Christophorus Pelkofer is mentioned here 1599–1602. The Pelkofers remain in the possession of Aftershausen until 1638. Then Afterhausen passed on to Paulus Scheibl on Kaufweg. On December 7, 1675 Afterhausen is owned by the Riegl family. On October 16, 1685, Johann Wilhelm Riegl, electoral regimental councilor in Burghausen , sold the seat to Siegmund Andreas von Pischelsdorf. In 1687 it came back to the Imsland on Postmünster-Thurnstein via Kaufweg . This was followed by the Counts of Goder (1780 at the latest). After the death of Johann Nepomuk von Goder on March 1, 1798, the seat came as heir to Maria Anna Violanda, Reichsfreifrau von Dachsberg , née Countess von Goder. After their death on August 9, 1792, the court makers Brombach , Postmünster and Afterhausen came to the two daughters Maria Anna von Herold and Maria Josepha Countess of Lamberg and, after a settlement on September 3, 1799, to Countess Maria Josepha alone. In 1817 the property was sold to Baron von Hofmiller and around 1818 to Baroness von Venningen, née Freiin von Dalberg.

The expired Afterhausen Palace

In 1597 there was a wooden castle in Afterhausen. On the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, Afterhausen Castle, now bricked, is a two-storey building with a half-hip roof that stands within a moat. On the west side, the roof is pulled down to the ground floor. Two passages lead to the castle. A specially worked portal can be seen. There is a church behind the castle, and a courtyard outside the island.

In 1836 the castle was demolished. Remains of the castle pond are still preserved today.
