history

Around the year 700 a Piparpah is mentioned in the Monumenta Nideraltacensia , which is said to be identical with the town of Bayerbach. 973 gave Emperor Otto I the monastery Niedermünster the court Bayerbach in Donaugau. This donation was confirmed in 1022 by Emperor Heinrich II and in 1025 by King Conrad II .

The Ulnkofer on Bayerbach are documented from 1330 to 1399 (1330 Vlreich der Vlnchouer zu Pewrpach and 1376 knight Hainrich der Vlnchouer zu Peurpach are named as judges of the Mallersdorf monastery ). On May 6, 1399, Analay, the widow of Haimeran Steinberger zu Bayerbach, promised to keep a comparison with her cousin Jörg dem Ulnkofer zu Feuchten. Jörg Ulnkofer should keep everything that his father had inherited, Alalay should get everything that Gatte had acquired, the tavern should belong to both of them.

In 1447 Jörg Gareis appears as the Hofmark owner . This family is attested here until 1494 (1458 Jeorg Gareys zu Pevrbach, nurse to Neufahrn and judge in Mallersdorf , 1464 a Gareis on Pewrbach, 1470 Jorg Gareisen, 1494 Georg Gareis). In 1467 Lorenz Maushamer zu Hofkirchen sold the Hof zu Bayerbach acquired from the Hermsdorfern to Konrad Gewolf zu Bayerbach. In 1478 Bartholomäus Maushamer sells goods in Niederbayerbach to Chancellor Rudolf Alberger. This indicates the existence of two manors then existing (Upper and Lower Bavaria) in the place. On February 11, 1482 Conrad Gewolf zu Bayerbach sold Jörg Gareis his building and inheritance rights on the Bayerbach farm, which he had acquired from Lorenz Maushamer. In 1493 there is talk of a seat in Bayerbach.

In 1500 the widow of Jörg Gareis married Ulrich Nußdorfer, whose family is now determining here. In 1519 there is talk of a knight Ulrich von Nussdorf zu Pewerbach († approx. 1534), carer of Kirchberg. Anna, the daughter of Ulrich Nußdorfer, is said to have married the hunter's son Jörg Höhenheimer. In 1558 the son from the marriage of Anna and Jörg owns the Bayerbach farm. From 1585 to 1681 the Eisenreichs are named as lords on Bayerbach (1585–1602 Hanns Georg Eisenreich zu Peurbach, 1605/1623 Alexandria, the widow of Hanns Georg, 1628 Salome Eisenreichin on Peurbach, 1652 Georg Wilhelm Eisenreich, 1665/1670 Christoph Benno von Eisenreich among others on Peurbach, 1681 Maria Salome Eisenreich). On November 5, 1585, the Bayerbach and Langenhettenbach court brands were united under one roof. After the death of Maria Salome Eisenreich, the Eisenreich property went to her five female heirs. On March 29, 1681, Bayerbach and Langenhettenbach were married to the Lords of Gumppenberg (also called Gumpperg ). On October 28, 1782, Ferdinand Theodor von Gumppenberg acquired the Hofmark through a comparison with his siblings. Until 1848 the Gumppenbergs ruled the court or the patrimonial court of Bayerbach. The castle is still owned by this family today.

Bayerbach Castle then and now

The core of the complex is a four-wing building from the 15th century (the Bavarian land table from 1470 already attests to a courtyard and a castle in Bayerbach). As you can see from the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the castle was a four-storey building at that time, which was surrounded by a moat. A wooden bridge led to the entrance portal. Another three-storey wing was attached to the main building. There is a farm building in front of the castle.

The castle was rebuilt in the neo-renaissance style in 1892/93 . The north side is three- story and has a pilaster structure and a gable above a central risalit . At the northeast corner there is an octagonal bay tower with a dome. The preserved parts of the economy form a two-storey saddle roof structure , this is partly with a half-timbered upper storey from the 18th / 19th. Century equipped. The preserved parts of the enclosure also date from the 18th and 19th centuries. Century.
