history

A "Rudigerus de Dithoheskirgin" appeared around 1144 in a document from the Ensdorf monastery as "Adelheit de Wartberc" gave the monastery their predium Druskin . According to the order of witnesses, this Rudigerus was probably a ministerial of the Diepoldinger . The next message about Dieterskirchen only appeared more than 250 years later, because in 1301 "Rvdgerus de Wartperch" had transferred a tithe from "Grvb" to Schönthal Monastery , which the "officialis Hainricus de Dietholtschirchen" had previously owned by him as a fief . This Hainricus was also mentioned in 1303 in a document of the "Chunradus de Sneberch". A "Rudger Wartperger" called himself in 1377 with the attribute "von Dietreiskirchen". A seat of nobility can therefore be assumed. Dieterskirchen must have already owned a church at this time (the designation of Hainricus as "officialis", that is, as church administrator, refers to this). In 1387 "Ruger der Wartperger zu Dyeterschirchen" made himself available as guarantor for "Albrecht von Kräczl" from Eslarn and "Ruprecht dem Grinawer". On February 25, 1391 Eslarn was sold by Ruprecht den Grinawer to "Ruger von Warperg zu Dietrisskirchen". In 1401 the latter sold his Bailiwick of Asbach to the Reichenbach am Regen monastery . In 1415 Ruger and his son Ulrich handed over the Eslarn seat to "Hildebrand the violinist". The Warbergers are attested as owners of Dieterskirchen until the second half of the 15th century. After the death of Christoph Warberger in 1461, Hans Plankenfelsner was the owner of Dieterskirchen in 1482. "Georg von Plankenfels" is attested there in the Landsassen register of 1518 and 1525. He was followed by Hans Jörg, Alexander and Silvester von Plankenfels. In 1552 only New Year's Eve was registered in Dietrichskirchen. However, "Philipp von Feiltsch" is already registered in the registry in 1550, and he was also recorded there until 1570.

Dieterskirchen has been united with Pottenhof since 1570 at the latest . Another owner was Oswald Ruland, whose heirs sold the country estate to Johann Bernhard Freiherren von Stauf. In 1576 he is recorded as the owner of Dieterskirchen. After his death († 1598) Albrecht von Wildenstein had the right of disposal over Dietrichskirchen and Pottenhof, since in 1600 he had married the daughter of the previous owner, Susanne von Stauf. In 1592 he had already acquired the Taferne as well as the bar and brewery in Dieterskirchen and other goods. After his death, the goods fell to his daughter Maria Brigitta, whose first husband Friedrich Wilhelm von Ebleben († 1645) paid homage in 1630. In her second marriage, she was married to Hanns Albrecht Horneck von Hornberg , who is recorded in the matriculation records as the owner of both goods. Dieterskirchen was heavily devastated during the Thirty Years War . After the death of Hanns Albrecht von Horneck († 1683), Hanns Adam Friedrich von Horneck performed the compulsory Landsassenpflicht in 1693. Until 1711, both estates were owned by Johann Christoph Albrecht von Horneck, who was first recorded in the registers in 1711. His daughter Magdalena married Friedrich Casimir von Perglas , who gave up compulsory citizenship in 1725 and 1749. After his death († 1752) Joseph Mathias von Murach, from 1759 the second husband of Magdalena von Horneck, was the owner of the Hofmark . Afterwards Franz Anton von Horneck, the son of Johann Christoph Albrecht, became the owner of both estates. Until the end of the Old Kingdom he owned both court stamps.

Dieterskirchen Castle today

The castle was built in 1605. In the castle inn in Dieterskirchen, the remains of the former castle on the courtyard side are still preserved. The ground floor is equipped with a barrel vault with a mesh configuration, the upper floor with window frames from the 17th century. Two granite gate pillars of the former castle garden with stone lions and coats of arms from the 17th century are located near the house at Neunburger Strasse 4. There is also the so-called castle cellar with a brick cellar entrance and the year 1800. In the nearby parish church of St. Ulrich there are epitaphs of the Lords of the castle.
