history

In the 15th century, Albrecht von Murach zu Guteneck , judge and caretaker at Lengenfeld Castle , is recorded here , who bought a mill from the Niedermünster convent . His wife was Anna Blandina von Porau .

In 1459 Hans Moller bought the farm and the fishing water in Heitzenhofen from the previous owner. Hans Moller had already operated the hammer mill in Loch with his brother Albrecht in 1449 . This Moller was allowed to build a grinding hammer here in 1460 with the permission of the Dukes Sigmund and Johann . In 1486 Ulrich Moller took over the hammer mill. His wives were Barbara Beer and then Elsbeth von Eckh . In 1511 Lorenz Moller ran the hammer; He also became a mine owner in Amberg through marriage. In 1527 Heitzenhofen was sold to Wolf Moller zu Hochdorf . His wives were Anna Berta Grueber and then Ursel Kersdorfer . In 1541 Heitzenhofen came to Lorenz Moller . His wife was Katharina Kastner von Schnaitenpach (* 1516, † 1582); after the death of Lorenz she married the Polley Probst von Hochdorf . In 1563 he had a bridge built over the Naab.

In 1566 ownership passed to Jörg Moller zu Haitzenhofen and Hochdorf , Lorenz Moller's eldest son . His wives were Martha Altmann von Vilswert , Ursel Tumer von Pruckberg and then Anna Katharina Leokadie, née Teuffel von Pirkensee . In 1576 Jörg received permission to build a brewery and to fish on the Naab . In 1580 a Sulzbach mayor was able to persuade the hammer mill owner to produce sheet metal . He was also involved in iron mining in Kallmünz as part of a trade union together with the Beratzhausen nurse Leonhard von Kemnath; In 1625 iron from the Sulzbach region was processed. The hammer mill was one of the largest on Vils and Naab; In 1581/82 the plant purchased 470 t and 1596/95 537 t of ore from Amberg .

In 1610 the guardians of the six children of the deceased Jörg, Wolf Baltahsar von Teufel von Pirkensee and Hans Jörg von Gutenberg , declare that they are doing their duty . In 1617 Friedrich Georg Moller declares that he is doing his duty; In 1618 he asked for the freedom letter for his country estate in Heitzenhofen. 1646 Wolfgang Wilhelm Moller is mentioned here . 1664 declared Wolfgang Balthasar Moller , son of Wolfgang Wilhelm Moller († around 1663) to do his duty; he had to pay off his two sisters. Wolfgang Balthasar Moller married Elisabeth Katharina, heir to the caretaker Hans Christoph Schertel von Untermantel , who owned an iron hammer there. After the wife's death († 1676), Moller remained in possession of the married property. He married Eva Hundt von Saxenhof again, but soon died himself without a body. After the Thirty Years' War the hammer stopped in Heitzenhofen and iron production was later discontinued.

In 1668 the estate passed to Margareta Maria Elisabeth, Hereditary Marshal of Pappenheim, on Kaufweg . She sold the property to Siegmund Friedrich von Kuchler von Jochenstein as early as 1669 . His son Ignaz von Kurchler was allowed to build a sawmill here in 1693 . This was followed in 1734 by Franz Fabian Freiherr von Strahl and in 1753 by Johann Freiherr von Strahl . After this, Heitzenhofen came to the Muracher in 1782 , namely to the Bavarian treasurer Wilhelm Freiherr von Murach . His widow took over from this in 1791 through her lawyer Seel Heitzenhofen.

Then the barons of Oberndorf took over the mill and the castle that had been built in the meantime. In 1812, Heitzenhofen was a second class patrimonial court in the Regenstauf regional court, owned by Count von Oberndorf . In 1818 the municipality of Heitzenhofen appears in the Regenstauf regional court. Count von Oberndorff bought the whole of Hofmark Großheitzenhofen in 1823 (at that time the villages Judenberg, Mühlschlag, Weyerhäusl and Zargütl were also part of it). After that, Heitzenhofen was smashed and passed into rural property. Today's owners of Heitzenhofen Castle are the Sarferts .

Heitzenhofen Castle today

Today the castle is a three-story, gable-independent gable roof building with a stepped gable . The main building has a steep roof with a stepped gable . An entrance porch is equipped with an arbor and a crenellated tower. The core of the building is late medieval; in 1899 it was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style.

A barn and a coach house belong to the castle ; this is an eaves half hipped roof building with a gable from the 18th century. The Heitzenhofen hammer mill was replaced by a grain mill at the beginning of the 20th century. Today a hydropower plant is used here to generate electricity.
