Haiming Castle

Haiming Castle

The Haiming Castle is located in the town of Haiming in Altötting of Bavaria (Flurstraße 14).

history

Haiming is mentioned in the sources very early: a landlord named Hrodpald gave away extensive goods here in the 8th century. Haiming is also the only place in Mattiggaus that did not belong to the Archdiocese of Salzburg , but to the Diocese of Passau . The Bishop Waldrich von Passau established the parish of Haiming.

The earliest mentioning of a noble free refers to the nobilis Eberhard von Haiming , who gave his estate in Fillmansbach to the Mattsee Monastery as a gift. In 1139 a Merbot and a Bertolf von Haiming appear as witnesses. In 1159, Haimo von Haiming testified that goods were handed over to Baumburg Abbey . A Wilhalmus de Haimmingen appears when the handover of goods to the Raitenhaslach monastery is notarized . In a traditional document of the monastery of St. Peter a Gebhard von Haiming is referred to as miles of the noble Heinrich von Stammham, so he seems to have lost his noble freedom and to have sunk into ministeriality . 1180 is in a tradition Message from the monastery Ranshofen still a Renward of Haiming and in 1201 and 1204 a Heinric of home Willingen in documents of the monastery Attel mentioned. After the death of the Passau canon Konrad von Stammham in 1204, his inheritance with Haiming fell to the Passau bishopric . In 1258 there is talk of a Haiminge court marchy who pays considerable dues to the Passau cathedral chapter. This Hofmark was passed on to Duke Friedrich II of Austria , who passed it back to Count Rapoto III. awarded by Ortenburg . Since both were without heirs, the Hofmark then fell back to the Diocese of Passau.

In 1262 Haiming was sold to the Knights of Chalb by Bishop Otto von Lonsdorf . A letter of indulgence from the Pope for the Haiming Church from 1345 testifies to Eberhard von Chalb as Lord von Haiming. When he died in 1354, he was buried in the tomb at Raitenhaslach. In 1376 a Niklas von Chalb von Haming, a judge in Oettingen , was named as the last of the Chalb in this area. The construction of the castle in the village pond (around 1400) should go back to him.

Next, the Knights Ausmholz are the Lords of Haiming. In 1401 Bishop Georg confirmed the right of presentation to the knight Johannes for the parish of Haimling. In a later document he names Thomas Ausmholz and Leopold Ausmholz as his ancestors, from whom this right has passed to him. In 1404 Johannes Ausmholz fell out of favor with the Bavarian duke and was also taken prisoner. He then sells Haimling and subsequently settles in Burghausen , where his family took over the profitable Mautner business. In 1404 Hans Tobelhamer, Kastner von Burghausen, acquired the Haimling estate. After his death in 1414, his son Andreas followed, 1441–1445 caretaker at Neuötting . His son Friedrich died without male descendants, and the quarrel that broke out among the daughters over the inheritance was decided by Duke Ludwig the Rich in 1463 in favor of Katharina Tobelhamer. By marrying Jörg Pfaffenpeck (builder of St. Stephen's parish church in Haiming), he became the new owner of the Hofmark. In 1486 Jörg Pfaffenpeck died and Katharina married Sebastian Pelkhover, captain of the Burghausen flag. The son from his first marriage, Christoph Pfaffenpeck, had inherited half of the Hofmark. It was not until 1522 that the inheritance disputes that broke out could be settled. Christoph Pfaffenpeck died without children in 1523 and Sebastian Pelkhover in 1531. His son also died soon, namely in 1535.

Through the marriage of Barbara Tobelhamer, a sister of Katharina, with the knight Hanns Pürchiger, the rights to the Hofmark came to him. An Achatz von Pürching is called 1546 Achatz von Pürching zu Eckershaim and Haiming . His brother Benedikt acquired parts of the Hofmark and in 1562 the Passau bishop granted them the church loan, to which the castle also belonged. Both were succeeded by Jörg von Pürching (son of Achatz). In 1606 he also acquired the Winkelhaim castle and seat from the heirs of Wolf Jahenstorf zu Winkelhaimb. After Jörg's death († 1610) on July 6, 1612, the heirs of Jörg sold the Haiming Hofmark to Christoph Ulrich von Elsenhaim , who also bought Winkelham Castle a year later. Although Christoph Ulrich was only rarely present in Haiming because of his position as caretaker of Mainburg and later as president of the court chamber in Munich, he was able to pass on the inheritance undiminished to his three sons on his death († September 18, 1630). In 1632 there was an inheritance division in which Hanns Thomas Elsenheimer received the Haimling Hofmark. In 1667 he handed over the property to his daughter Eva Maria Franziska, who had married Adam Kaspar Freiherr von Freyberg , Kastner von Burghausen and later Vice-President von Landshut . He placed his son Judas Thaddäus as heir, during whose absence (he was with Elector Max Emanuel in Belgium and France for many years ) his brother Carl Adam administered the property. Judas Thaddäus was inherited by his wife Maria Klara, who in turn appointed Maria Josepha Countess of Bavaria as heir (1739–1767 ∞ with Emperor Joseph II ). After the death of Maria Klara (November 29, 1750), the will becomes final and Maria Josepha becomes the lord of the court.

On April 24, 1759, Maria Josepha sold her entire estate in Haming to the President of the Court Chamber, Maximilian Freiherr von Berchen. The Haiming and Schloss Piesing court brands were subsequently united for two centuries. The moated castle was demolished between 1837 and 1840. Between 1838 and 1840, Count Sigmund von Berchem built the new Haiminger Castle above the castle pond.

After the counts of Berchem died out in 1869, Baron Sigismund Felix von Ow, the 14-year-old son of Josefine, the eldest daughter of Count Sigismund von Berchem and the district judge and district administrator Felix Freiherr von Ow , became the owner of Piesing and Haiming. He became a priest and handed over the inherited property to his brother Anton Freiherr von Ow. Sigismund Felix von Ow-Felldorf became Bishop of Passau in 1906. To this day the Ow family resides in both Piesing and Haiming.

Haiming Castle after an etching by Michael Wening from 1721

Haiming Castle then and now

According to Michael Wening's view from 1721, Haiming is still a moated castle consisting of two structures . The main building was three-story (with a basement), provided with strong retaining walls and covered with a hipped roof; the second building was only two-story and also had a hipped roof; both buildings were connected by a roofed battlement and accessible via bridges. Other ponds and water structures could be seen in the vicinity.

Today Haiming Castle is a classicist rectangular building with unplastered tuff blocks and a flat hipped roof, which was built between 1838 and 1840. To the west of the main building are two other small hipped roof buildings, namely the former registry with the altar of the former palace chapel (from the middle of the 17th century) and the so-called Valentinsstadel to the northeast, a boarded-up wooden block building that is partly bricked and from the first half of the 18th century Century.
