history

In the registers of the Landsassen of the Neumarkt Mayor's Office from 1518, a Hans Reisselt with a seat in Wissing, called Grünstein, is named, who was previously held by a Hans Leitner. The history of Grünstein then follows the history of Hofmark Ittelhofen , also in 1551 Grünstein is still mentioned by the noble seats in the Neumarkt district office. The Lords of Ittelhofen name themselves after their seat in Wissing-Grünstein, for example Peter Apian von Grünstein in 1541. Baron Löwenthal later reported, “The Grünstein Castle is in danger of collapsing. The subjects that can be donated and valid, and the earnings are offset against the Hofmark Ittlhofen. "
