Einhausen Castle

Einhausen Castle after an engraving by Michael Wening from 1721

The abandoned Einhausen Castle was located northeast of the district of the same name in the Lower Bavarian municipality of Atting in the Straubing-Bogen district .

history

In 1270 the seat of Einhausen was first mentioned in a document. At that time Otto von Straubing received the curia zu Einhausen from the Regensburg Bishop Leo Thundorfer . In the oldest country table from the first half of the 15th century a Niclas Hainrichtstorfer zu Ainhausen appears ; this is also mentioned in 1437 when buying a farm. In 1449 his widow is mentioned as the mistress of the Ainhausen estate. The next ones here were the Helltampf zu Straubing . In the third country table from 1490 and also 1518 a Sigmund Helltampf zu Ainhausen is mentioned. Then the Zeller von Straubing follow , the wife of Haug dem Zeller was a hell of a lot. A Balthasar Zeller is mentioned in the country table from 1525 . When the Zeller inheritance was divided in 1522, the seat and festivals including the pond, courtyard, mill, tavern, brewery and garden are described. In the land table from 1557 Einhausen is counted as part of the Rain rule . The von Rain men had already acquired Obermotzing from the Zellern . The Einhausen seat fell into disrepair. In 1609 it says: the Süz Einhausen fell in with a few jars due to old age and Paufelligkhaits, is dabey ain Pauernhof and ain Wirthshauß . In 1643 Einhausen was sold to the von Baumgarten family . In 1738 the Leublfingers compared themselves with the Freiherren von Baumgarten in that the lords von Rain (those were the Leublfingers at the time) could buy back the seat and the Hofmark zu Einhausen at any time by repurchasing them from the Baumgarteners.

Already in 1811 Einhausen was administratively counted to Atting, in 1821 Einhausen was assigned to the Patrimonial Court First Class in Rain. This came to the Freiherr von Perglas via a Leiblfinger widow, then to the Counts Karl Ernst and Maximilian von Gravenreuth and later to the Thurn und Taxis . In 1848 the state took over this court and Einhausen was assigned to the Rain District Court.

Earlier appearance

According to the engraving by Michael Wening , Einhausen was a two-story building with a tall chimney. From the house there were farm buildings to the north. A wall with an entrance gate and a man gate closed the property. A large kitchen garden can still be seen within the wall.

Since this etching dates from around 1721, it can be assumed that it is not the lost fortress , but the farm or tavern of Einhausen that is shown here.
