history

Ering is mentioned as early as 788, when Fricho , Ratolf and his brothers gave eight farms in Ering to the Niederaltaich monastery with the permission of the Agilolfingen Duke Tassilo . At the beginning of the 11th century, the royal estate around Ering came to the Bamberg monastery through a gift from Emperor Heinrich II . Ering was guarded by Count Ulrich from Formbach until the end of the 11th century , and the von Kamm family ( Chambe , later the Hals ) ruled here from the beginning of the 12th century . On June 8, 1296, Bishop Arnold of Bamberg pledged itEring to Count Albert von Hals. The Counts of Hals were able to build up a closed lordship here, the center of which was Erneck Castle ( castro Ernekk ). The Counts von Hals had appointed keepers who sat at the Erneck fortress to manage the property. Mention should be made here of: Eberhardt der Puchlär (1314), Tannberger (1321), Chunrad der Amann (1337) and Degenhart der Oetlinger (1353). On July 6, 1377, the rule of Ering passed into the possession of the Bavarian dukes; Johann Landgraf zu Leuchtenberg, Graf zu Hals, sold the Ering-Erneck and Ratzelberg festivals to the dukes Otto , Friedrich , Johann and Stephan . The seat of Ering can be proven since the 15th century. At that time it was owned by sovereign carers . A separate caste office was also set up for the ducal care court Ering-Erneck, in 1414 the caretaker and custodian Hans Closer is named here, but who had his seat at Erneck Castle.

Ering suffered badly in the Landshut War of Succession . Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria-Munich had a provisional government formed after the death of Duke George the Rich of Bavaria-Landshut . Count Palatine Philipp , the opponent of Duke Albrecht, conquered and devastated the Inn and Rott valleys with his Palatinate troops from Schärding . On May 29, 1504, Duke Albrecht and 14,000 men moved into the Rottal from Munich . In the battles that followed, Ering, Erneck and Frauenstein were destroyed. Ering and Frauenstein were later rebuilt.

In 1508 Duke Albrecht IV sold the palace and the Ering-Frauenstein estate to the brothers Peter and Wolfgang von Paumgarten . In 1523, the daughter of Alban Gogkendorfer also sold the brick seat at Ering near the parish church on the cemetery wall, including accessories, in the Frauenstein rule to the Paumgarten on Frauenstein in the Braunau court . From now on, this rule was subject to the Braunau court. In 1523 the rule of Frauenstein-Ering passed to the cousins ​​Georg and Hans von Paumgarten. Her successors were her sons Hans Wolf I. and Hans Christoph I. (approx. 1560-1603). This family remained in the possession of Frauenstein-Ering until 1845. The Paumgarten became a baron in 1629 and a count in 1745. They also succeeded in expanding their rule from lower jurisdiction to blood ban (from 1764 on Ering, Frauenstein and Stubenberg). The blood spell was also exercised, executions - all for theft - are reported in 1779 and 1788. With the cession of the Innviertel to Austria in the Treaty of Teschen , the high level of jurisdiction was lost in 1779. A second class patrimonial court , owned by the Counts of Paumgarten, existed in Ering between 1830 and 1848. On April 16, 1848, Countess Maria von Baumgarten declared the assignment of the patrimonial court to the State of Bavaria.

With the marriage of Elisabeth Countess von Paumgarten, ownership passed to Maximilian Freiherrn von Lerchenfeld in 1845 . In 1887, when Anna Freiin zu Lerchenfeld married Ferdinand Freiherr von Sedlnitzky , another change of ownership took place. In 1946 the eldest daughter of the Barons von Sedlnitzky took over the castle after both sons died in World War II. She married Count Casimir Esterházy de Galántha . The current owner of Schlossgut Ering is Count Paul-Daniel Esterházy de Galántha.

Most of the owners of Ering Castle from the 19th and 20th centuries are buried at the pilgrimage church of St. Anna .

Entrance portal of Ering Castle

Ering Castle then and now

If you look at the engraving of Schloss Ering by Michael Wening from around 1726, the Ering was an extensive and winding complex. The access seems to have led through a two-storey utility wing with more than 25 window axes. An adjoining two-storey side wing creates a stately impression. This is followed by an open three-wing, three-storey component with a fountain in the middle. This is followed by two farm tracts, so that a closed courtyard is formed. The complex has three gardens, one of which is a large park. All three are surrounded by walls. The church of Ering can be seen next to the castle, which was probably connected to the castle by a connecting passage.

Ering Castle is still an irregular complex with five wings around a manor court and four wings around the economic courtyard. Another inner courtyard was created through a newly built transverse wing. A renovation from 1772 was probably designed by Leonhard Matthäus Gießl . The main building now has four wings, it is three- story , covered with a hipped roof and a central risalit in front of the main facade. The outbuildings are still two-story. There is a pilaster portal on the north wing . The fountain in the manor's court is dated 1787. The palace has an enclosed palace park with a fountain, both also from the 18th century. Today the Schlosspension Gästehaus Schloss Ering is run here.
