history

In the 12th century the place was called Velberge, Velperg, Velberch. The name is derived from Vele , a forest name, corresponding to the location on the wooded Gallnerberg . The first owners were the Velbergers , servants of the Count von Bogen . With the dynasty of the Counts von Bogen becoming extinct in 1242, the Bavarian dukes acquired feudal sovereignty over this place.

There are documents from the Velbergers Sigeloh von Velberg (around 1180), then a Rudolf von Velberg (1237), a Velberg named Albert was pastor of Rattenberg . In 1312 the latter handed over the farm taken over from his father to the Oberalteich monastery on the eastern slope of the Gallnerberg as a piece of equipment . An Eberhard der Velberger appears in 1368 in the entourage of Mr. Albrecht the Ursenpeck von Irschenbach as guarantor for Peter the Ursenpeck von Prünstfehlburg . In 1408 a Matheus from Velberg was captured in a feud in which Friedrich Ramsperger was also involved. In 1437, Berthold the Velberger was named as the nurse of Sünching . At that time, Herrnfehlburg came into the possession of the Ursenpecken .

In 1500 a Wolfgang Gabelkofer is mentioned here and in the country table around 1525 Ludwig and Sebastian Ebmer appear as gentlemen from Herrnfehlburg, Pürgl and Sparr. Then the Leutner on Herrnfehlburg are to be named, of whom the honorable and steadfast Hanns Leutner died in Steinach in 1514 . Successors are the Eisengrein; Kaspar Eisengrein was a nurse and Kastner zu Viechtach and performed this office from Herrnfehlburg († 1618, buried in the castle chapel).

Further successors were the Ossinger zu Haibach . The Herrnfehlburg estate came to the Haibach Hofmark on the marriage route . The lords of the castle in Haibach also exercised the lower jurisdiction here. Johann Georg Ammon married the owner of the Hofmark Rattiszell Anna Cordula von Liebenzau in the 16th century. In 1618 Georg Viktor Ammon married Katharina Eisengrain in Herrenfehlburg and Irschenbach. So the Hofmark Herrenfehlburg came to the Ammon's family. The family Ammon of Schloss Au vorm Wald had Rattiszell from 1581 to 1661. George Victor Ammons son Ignaz Viktor von Ammon ruled as successor to his father about Mr. incorrect castle, deer creek and Rattiszell. He died in Herrnfehlburg in 1681 and was buried in the church in Rattiszell, where his gravestone is also located. At the end of the 17th century, Herrnfehlburg came to the Straubing council family of the Lerchenfelder ; the Paumgartners followed . Afterwards the castle passed to the family of the Straubing councilor and mayor Simon Höller . In 1806 the Ettl family from Großwieden took over from Konzell ; this family is still owned by the Herrnfehlburg.

Herrnfehlburg Castle then and now

According to a copper engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, Herrnfehlburg Castle was a two-part building, which on one side comprised a two-story residential wing with a gable roof and on the other consisted of a castle chapel of about the same height. A wing branches off from the castle in the direction of the chapel, but its roof is less inclined than the roof of the chapel. The chapel used to have an onion dome and a sundial on the west side . The facility was surrounded by a wall that was not too high. Outside the palace there was a fenced-in park with ornamental and useful plants. Another three-storey onion dome, which has now disappeared, appears to have been attached to an outbuilding.

Today the former noble residence consists of the palace and the St. Thomas chapel to the east. The former castle is a rectangular, two-storey building in an unadorned, rural baroque style with a high hipped roof . The core of the building is late medieval . The adjoining manor and farm buildings , some of which are made of logs , date from the 18th and 19th centuries. A two-storey wing with a gable roof jumps out to the east in the central axis as a connection to the chapel.

The chapel consecrated to St. Thomas now has a pointed tower. The core of the nave of the chapel dates from the 14th and 15th centuries, the choir and sacristy are from the Baroque period. The interior of the chapel is kept simple, on one side there is a figure of the crucified. On the south side there is a wooden gallery with the altar (around 1740). The altarpiece shows the apostle Thomas. Some wooden Gothic figures adorn the church. The organ case from 1740 is in the district home museum on the Bogenberg . A war memorial is attached to the right outer wall. In the past, you could look into the chapel through a large window in the castle's dance hall; this is now walled up, there is a confessional there today. On the east side of the church in Herrnfehlburg there is a memorial stone for Johannes Nikolaus Ammon von und zu Au , who died in 1620 at the age of five years and eight months in Straubing. The boy is shown standing in full figure, in harem pants and with folded hands; A cushion is pushed under the head, in the corners the ancestral coats of arms of the Ammon, Eisengrain, Liebenzau and Mutzinger can be seen.
