history

The first evidence of Jellenkofen was not found until 1464, when the Gareis in the village were documented. In 1470 Bernhart Bschorr is allegedly the lord of the court , who allegedly lets a Nussdorf man manage his estate ; this information is possibly incorrect, as Bernhart Bschorr only acquired Jellenkofen from the Gschwind family in 1554. In the first half of the 16th century, the Nussdorfers appear as lords of the Hofmark, they sold Jellenkofen to the Gschwinds. The Bschorr family is attested from 1554 to 1608 in the village. According to a document dated January 24, 1563, Veit Lung and Christoph Stinglheimer were the guardians of the minor children of Bernhardt Bschorr. For 1617 a certain Auer is named as the owner of the hormone mark. In 1638 Hans Buchheimer married the widow of Hans Caspar Ginzhofer, heiress of Hofmark Jellenkofen, and became the new owner. On July 28, 1681, Johann Adam von Buchheim sold the property to Baron Franz Nicola von Königsfeld. From 1689 to 1784 the Mändl zu Dettenhofen and their heirs on Jellenkofen are attested. The Mändls acquired Jellenkofen from the Puechhambs . Baron von Mändl on Jettenkofen (1689), Franz Viktor Mändl (1726), Johann Franz Freiherr von Mändl (1752), widow of Anton von Mändl (1780) and the heirs of the Mändl zu Dettenkofen on Jellenkofen (1784) are named. In 1784 Herr von Kierneiß, electoral government chancellor of Straubing, bought Jellenkofen.

In the register of the district court Pfaffenberg from November 12th 1818 Jellenkofen appears as the patrimonial court of the royal postal expeditor and beer brewer Spieß, named by Hierneiß. On February 10, 1825, a Robert von Grainger acquires the Jellenkofen estate and claims jurisdiction for the Jellenkofen estate belonging to his wife, nee Freiin von Trauner. In the course of the regional court tracing, Jellenkofen was transferred from the regional court Pfaffenberg to the regional court Rottenburg on January 30th, 1822. Patrimonial jurisdiction ended in 1848.

In 1872, Jellenkofen Castle was converted into a hospital for the nuns of the poor Franciscan nuns . After sick people from the district were later admitted there, the castle was officially converted into a hospital in 1893. It fulfilled this function until a new hospital was built in Ergoldsbach. On February 8, 1949, a fire broke out in Jellenkofen Castle. At that time, the castle was used as a workers' residence for the Ergoldsbach roof tile works.

Jellenkofen Castle then and now

The present castle was built around 1720/1730 as a square building with a hipped roof . The engraving by Michael Wening from 1721 already shows a three-storey building with a small tower covered by an onion helmet. The building is enclosed by a wall, and farm buildings can still be seen within the enclosed space. Little has changed in this situation today.

The listed and renovated castle is now privately owned.
