history

The castle was built by the knights of Etterzhausen. In 1261 a knight Babo von Etterzhausen was mentioned. Later owners were Hugo von Löweneck (1277), the lords of Dachsöllern, Dietrich von Parsberg (1314), the von Gumprecht family, the lords of Parsberg (1463), Hans Arnold von Zettwitz (1585), Hans Siegmund von Erlbeck (1590) , Count von Bettschart (1793), Georg Friedrich von Dittmer (1799), the barons von Dittmer (noble family) , Adolf von Zerzog, the collegiate monastery of Our Lady of the Old Chapel (1843-58), chief engineer Ernst Fromm, director of the Maxhütte , his son Ernst Ritter von Fromm and in turn his son Kommerzienrat Rüdiger Fromm.

The current facility was built after 1590 by the then owner, Hans Siegmund von Erlbeck from Etterzhausen. During the Thirty Years War in 1632, the village of Etterzhausen including the castle was destroyed by Bavarian troops who wanted to make it difficult for the Swedes to reach Regensburg from the north during the fighting for Regensburg (1632–1634) . The castle was then rebuilt and renovated in 1769.

In 1799, Baron Georg Friedrich von Dittmer acquired the two court brands Pettendorf and Etterzhausen as a manor and thus also acquired the estate . Dittmer expanded the palace with the north and south wings in classicist forms, had the park laid out and the manor rebuilt. With the establishment of a school in the so-called Hafnerhaus, he proved himself to be a landlord benefactor of Etterzhausen.

After the death of Georg Friedrich von Dittmer († 1811), the estate initially fell to his son-in-law Karl Christian Thon († 1831), who was married to Georg Friedrich von Dittmer's daughter Friederike Amalie († 1806), who died at an early age. After the death of Karl Christian Thon, the Etterzhausen estate came to the eldest daughter Juliane (Julie), who had been married to Adolf von Zerzog since 1827, in accordance with the family contract . Julie von Zerzog was an economically capable and socially very committed woman. She managed to satisfy the creditors of her late father's indebted company and through her the Etterzhausen estate came to the Zerzog family, her husband's family. Julie von Zerzog lived in the castle with a large family of eight children until 1844 and then moved back to Regensburg, where she worked as a kindergarten teacher and looked after poor women who had recently given birth.

Etterzhausen Castle was owned by the Fromm family from 1858 until the death of Kommerzienrat Rüdiger Fromm in 1989. Bachelor Rüdiger Fromm bequeathed the property to the Munich Child Protection Association. Around the turn of the millennium, the Regensburg tax consultant and business graduate Ernst Ippisch bought the castle, who had it extensively renovated.
