The Aicholding Castle is a castle in the Lower Bavarian town of Riedenburg in Kelheim . Aicholding is now a district of Riedenburg.

history

The name of the place is interpreted as the Aigold's own , so the real ing name refers to the time of the Bavarian conquest. Allegedly the place was the meeting point of the Salian emperor Heinrich III in 1052 . with Pope Leo IX.

An Amazi de Eicoltingan , married to the Free de Francia nomine Gerbirhc , is already mentioned in the donation book of the St. Emmeram monastery under Abbot Rupert (1068-1095). The couple had three sons, Amalgis , Waltehri and Richeri, and three daughters Iburhc , Berhta and Richilt . The family owed interest to the monastery with five denarii .

A Haidfolk de Aigoltingen is mentioned in 1120 and a Hartwig de Aikoltingen is mentioned in 1145. A Siegfried and a Haimardus (or Haniniurdus ) are also mentioned. According to an old custom , Hartwig de Aikoltingen's ear is pulled in an exchange certificate from the monastery inprüfunging so that he can remember the process later. The Aicholdinger occur up to the 14th century . In the land register of the Duchy of Bavaria from 1240 a Hube is mentioned in Aicholding, which was subject to interest with five bushels of rye and five bushels of oats, in the next land register a fish interest of five shillings is added. In 1287 a Dietrich von Aicholding is mentioned; the latter receives 29 pounds of silver pennies "on the instructions of the young Duke Rudolf ", then he receives another 13 pounds of silver pennies for a gelding . In 1297 this Dietrich made his will, which was confirmed by Ulrich von Stein . At the beginning of the 14th century a Hanns and a Conrad von Aicholding appear. In 1319, a Haimo von Aicholding and his sons Rudger and Heinrich gave a piece of land to the Schamhaupten Monastery . In 1326 Aicholding is again mentioned in a ducal land register and has to pay the same taxes as before. In 1328 Heinrich von Aicholding received 10 pounds of Regensburg pfennigs from the abbot of the St. Emmeram monastery. In 1387 a Dietrich von Aicholding sold his farm in Dingolfing to the Schamhaupten monastery. In 1476 another Heinrich von Aicholding was named as the signature of a document at Hexenagger Castle .

However, the Aicholdinger seem to have sold their headquarters earlier, because in 1382 an Urban Pairstorfer , “sat in Aykolding”, is mentioned. After the Pairstorfer one end of the 15th century finds here Hüttinger . The epitaph of Anselm von Hüting zu Aicholding († May 13, 1535) hangs in the parish church of St. Barbara von Abensberg . The daughter Barbara of Anselm married Eustace of Schmiechen and subsequently sold in 1542, the Hofmark Aicholting to Hans Ziegl (or Zugl ), the hammer champion Neuenkersdorf . But this smashed it into three parts. A part stayed with the Hammer Neuenkehrsdorf until the end of the Keck family , the castle with a garden was divided, shared with the Günzkhouer and Georg Seitz , including Philipp Peer “beede burger zu Riettenburg”. On August 25, 1597, Christoph Khekh zu Prunn und Neuenkhertorf , whose father Karl Köckh had owned the Hofmark Prunn since 1570 , took the third part of the Hofmark from Philippen Peer . In Apian 1568 the place is called Aickling .

1609 Adam Günzkofer von und zu Günzkofen is named as the owner of Aicholding. The Hofmark does not seem to have been particularly affected by the Thirty Years' War , but it says in a report by the Essingen dean, "To Aicholding, everything is empty, no human being in it". 1646 the Bavarian General bought Georg von Truck Miller next to the Hofmark Prunn and the hammer Neuenkersdorf the Hofmark Aicholding from the Keckh'schen Gantmasse . In 1675 the property came from the daughters of General Georg von Truckmiller to Johann Leonhard Cantzlmüller , regimental councilor in Burghausen . Johann Leonhard Cantzlmüller rebuilt the run-down castle in Aicholding.

Atelier of the painter Max von Seydewitz

In 1772 Baron von Haagn is named as the owner, later the seminar fund of Burghausen. In 1837 it says: “The Schlößchen is inhabited by tenants ... the whole thing with the surrounding fields, Wiesmathen and not insignificant wood wax a beautiful arrondissement. The noble estate also includes some Dominica pensions. ”In 1865 the Royal Forestry Administration in Riedenburg acquired the building. The painter Max von Seydewitz bought it in 1915 . He set up his studio in a barn to the left of the entrance to the castle. This was followed by pastor Johann von Gott Winterl (a plaque in the adjacent church of St. Martin reminds of him). Then the property came to the monastery of St. Anna von Riedenburg. The Munich music publisher Josef Preißler finally acquired the castle from the monastery . Since 1923 the castle was owned by Rosina Ammer.

Exterior

The building is a simple building with a stepped gable , which was built in the 17th century on the site of the early medieval castle. Inside the building has been completely rebuilt. The interior was purchased in the 20th century. In the salon there is a Renaissance tiled stove, on the tiles of which scenes from the Old and New Testament are depicted (it is said to have come from a Tyrolean castle). There are a number of paintings by the previous owner, Max von Seydewitz, in the house .

The associated farm buildings also date from the 17th to 18th centuries. The complex is surrounded by a wall marked with the year "1748". There are no longer any traces of a ditch. There are two large linden trees next to the entrance gate. Together with the adjacent church of St. Martin, the building gives a good idea of ​​earlier small noble residences in the Upper Palatinate. In the past, a wooden corridor led from the upper floor of the castle into the gallery of the adjacent church. The rectangular entrance opening is now walled up, but still clearly visible with the holes for the supporting beams at a height of 5 m.
