history

The place name Flischbach indicates a settlement in the 10th and 11th centuries. A ministerial family named after this village is first documented on April 27, 1112 with a Wolker de Vlinspach . A Werhart de Flinspach is mentioned between 1139 and 1146 as a witness in a tradition of the convent in Prüfing . Eticho et Pertzold de Flindesbach are mentioned between 1150 and 1160 . In the Upper Bavarian land register from 1282, the place Flinspach is mentioned as belonging to the Wetterfeld office . In 1303 another Wernhardus de Flinspach turns up, who sells a forest to the Schönthal monastery , in 1317 his brother Konrad is mentioned. For the Wernhart is Duke Rudolf I mentioned as feudal lord. Wernhart 's son of the same name appears as a witness for the last time in 1358.

In the early 14th century, some of the family's possessions seem to have passed to the Eyttenharter . At least two seats in Flinsbach are mentioned in the Wittelsbach partition contract of 1331 , one of which is eyttenharter . In 1402 Hanreich Eyttenhartz is named as the owner of Flinsbach. Later this was first referred to as Landsassengut under Wolfgang Eyttenharter . The heirs of this Wolfgang seem to have sold half of Flinsbach to Sebastian Pruckner in 1545 . The other part came to Georg Wurmrauscher in 1570 , who was followed by the Notthracht . In 1587 the property came to Hans Wolff Beham . In 1588 the village passed to Hans Halbritter . From this Johann Sebastian Gemmel took over the property. After his death in 1612 Flinsbach was again divided into an upper property , which his son Hans Georg received, and a lower property , which was awarded to his son Georg . In 1693 Unterflinsbach and Oberflinsbach came to Philipp Jakob Tucher , who sold the property on in 1699. As a result, both country estates often changed hands; From 1785 to 1838 the castle was in the hands of the von Scheller family , after which it came into rural possession. The last owners were the Zwicknagle family , who had the building demolished.

Location and architecture

The castle stood on a small north-east sloping slope of the village on the Flischbach. It was a simple two-storey rectangular building with a mansard roof and a domed roof turret . The building was surrounded by a triangular wall, which also included the outbuildings. The castle was probably built in this form in the 18th century.
