history

The Wittelsbach family, together with the Regenstauf office, pledged the village of habenbach to Hansen Krottauer, his housewife M. Vierdung and their heirs on January 30, 1458. On February 3, 1473, this office was handed over by Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria to Hartung von Egloffstein as carer . Between 1473 and 1477 Regenstauf and habenbach were pledged to the Marquart Stör and from January 25, 1468 to Hans Walrab von Traidendorf .

After the Landshut War of Succession , the area came to the newly founded Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg in 1504 . The Pfalzneuburg country marshal Hans Joachim von Perchtolzhofen auf Traidendorf took over this brook in 1563 and under him it became a noble seat . After his death in 1596, his son Sebastian Wolfgang took over the property in this Bach, followed by Wilhelm von Perchtolzhofen until 1639.

Further owners of the castle were Ludwig Bartlmä Hausner zu Schmidmühlen and Weinbuch, in 1654 Balthasar Reinhard Praitschädel followed in Pielenhofen and Wolfersdorf and in 1662 Hans Ludwig von Grünthal, lord of Achleiten, Dielbach and Ottsdorf, bought the castle and estate here. After his death in 1668, it came to his brother Carl Ferdinand on November 15, 1668. He sells the property to the St. Paul Jesuit College in Regensburg for 3350 guilders. Under the Jesuits, the castle was expanded into an estate, and an agricultural school was built. In 1690 a chapel with a tower and clock was built. The altars were dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of Mary and to Saints Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier , both of whom are considered to be the founders of the Jesuit order . The estate was used to supply the Regensburg Jesuit College and as a summer residence for the religious.

In 1773, after the dissolution of the Jesuit order, the castle in thisbach passed to the bishop of Regensburg, Anton Ignaz von Fugger-Glött . The proceeds were used to finance a seminary at St. Paul. During the coalition wars , a military hospital was set up in the castle in 1801. The owner, the St. Paul School Institute, sold the estate complex on December 27, 1830 to the Regensburg farmer Michael Schmidt; after two years it smashed the property. The three altars of the chapel and the bell of the final tower were given to the Sebastian Chapel in Regenstauf. The property then came to changing private individuals.

In the middle of the 19th century, a fire destroyed the palace complex in 1850. The remains of the structure were removed in 1965 due to the risk of collapse. In 1978 the Zehentstadel of the castle fell victim to a street widening.

Construction

After the engraving of the castle by Johann Georg Hämmerl at the end of the 18th century, the castle had three floors and a hipped roof with fourteen dormer windows . The long side had 18 and the narrow side four rows of windows. On the river side there was the Lady Chapel and around the castle were agricultural buildings that had been rebuilt in 1695. The engraving also shows a large wall from 1697 that enclosed the property.
