history

There are or were two complexes Dachsberg, the older castle is the "Veste Tachsperg", which stood about 200 m below today's castle on a steeply sloping rock ledge against the Gallsbach valley , and today's Dachsberg Castle, which was rebuilt in 1672 after a fire has been.

The aristocratic family Daxberger (Dachsberger, spelling changes) is mentioned for the first time around the year 1200. The Dachsbergers were a branch of the highly free Herr von Prambach and owned their property as free property. After the main line of the Prambach family had died out, the Dachsbergers had to place themselves under the protection of the Schaunberger and became their ministerials. Ulricus de Dahsperch, mentioned in 1218, was already a magical feudal man. Over the centuries, the Dachsbergers acquired large possessions, mostly located in Lower Austria . In the 14th century, the Dachsbergers had their property administered by burgraves. Burgrave Renwart der Salchendobler lived in the castle in 1366. In 1315 the chapel on the castle of the time was donated by Friedrich Clingwurm's family. The last of the Dachsbergers was Jörg von Dachsberg, married to the heiress Wilburg of the last chaplain and died in Vienna in 1423 . During his lifetime he bequeathed the Dachsberg estate to his great nephews Kaspar and Gundacker von Starhemberg . Rüdiger von Starhemberg sold Dachsberg to his cousin Ulrich von Starhemberg in 1463. In 1493 Dachsberg came from Gotthard von Starhemberg as pledge to Ursula Pernecker († 1547). After her death, the property was first publicly administered because of inheritance disputes that had arisen. Dachsberg then passed to Wolfgang von Oedt (Oeder) as the marriage property of Matthias Pernecker's daughter Elisabeth in 1579. He began with the construction of the new Dachsberg Castle, mostly using the building material from Dachsberg Castle. His son Georg inherited Dachsberg from his first marriage; This was of Archduke Charles in 1570 for permission to take up the arms of the Pernecker in his coat of arms. In his second marriage, Matthias Pernecker was married to Susanna von Neuhaus, who gave Matthias Pernecker six daughters.

The daughter Martha Oeder († 1616), who married Georg Schiefer († 1600) from Eferding , received the property as marriage property in 1585. Under the slate the castle was looted in 1626 during the Upper Austrian peasant uprising . Because of this and because of a devastating fire in 1672, the castle was rebuilt.

In 1713 Theodosius Freiherr von Schiefer sold the property to Count Josef von Manstorff . In 1775 Johann Baptist Freiherr von Pilati von Tassul inherited the castle from his mother Maria Theresia, born Manstorff, who now called himself zu Daxberg . In 1827 the castle was sold and a quick change of ownership followed, which mainly led to the sale of the estate. The owners are: Franz Bernklau (1827), the entrepreneur Leopold Ichzenthaler (1833) and through the marriage of his daughter Leopoldine to the Austrian postal organizer Gustav Riederer von Dachsberg in 1859 the Riederer family (1877 ennobled Riederer Ritter von Dachsberg). Finally, Dachsberg was bought by the Central Bank of the German Savings Banks in Vienna in 1911 .

On December 8, 1920, the Order of St. Franz von Sales owner of the castle and the remaining estate. This set up a boarding school here. During the turmoil of the Second World War , the Dachsberg high school (also sometimes called "Daxberg") was temporarily closed by the NS standstill commissioner ( Albert Hoffmann ) , despite resistance from the headmaster Karl Eisenbarth . The reason was a "rift" with regard to the Counter-Reformation Ferdinand II and a plea for a tolerance patent by Joseph II . In 1945 Dachsberg was shot at and hit by American artillery.
