history

In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Ettenharder, Ministeriale of the Counts of Hohenburg, sat here . The Romanesque church tower of the adjacent church Maria Magdalena dates from this time . After the Counts of Hohenburg died out, the Ettenharders entered the service of the Bavarian dukes. In 1514 Anna von Murach is owned by the Hofmark. Kirchenödenhart came from the Murach family to Joachim von Bertholdshofen, who, together with Bergheim (a hamlet of Hohenfels that has now also been abandoned), sold it to Christoph von Gleißenthal in 1530 . From 1540 to 1574 the Wißbeck zu Velburg are owners. Jörg Hektor von Wispeck built the castle in 1565. It was a three-story building with two gables and four corner towers. The 60 m deep castle fountain dates from the time of the Wißbeck, from which water could be scooped up in an iron bucket by means of a chain winch. 1575–1589 the property passed to Hans Heinrich von Nothracht zu Wernberg. From 1589 to around 1670 the Bertholdshofner (“Pertolzhofener”) are here again. This well-known Upper Palatinate family of hammer lords owned Kirchenödenhart for almost 100 years and at the same time also owned the hammer in Traidendorf . In the church of Kirchenödenhart there was a coat of arms of the Pertolzhofener with the inscription: Hatt Hans Joachim v. Pertoltzhofen zu Traidendorf, Khirchenettenhart and Perkam this house of God in 1591 rebuilt again, in 1543 everything has run dry and that is what God says for 48 years there has not been chlorine.

The Loibls were resident here until 1756 (around 1707 Johann Christoph von Löbel was named here). A daughter of Sauerzapf and her husband, Hans Friedrich von Kreuth (Kreith), held Kirchenödenhart for a short time . After that, some of the von Rummel sisters seem to have come into the possession of Kirchenödenhart. In 1792 the widow Anna Hildegard von Fachbach, née. by Rummel, called. Elisabeth von Rummel last lived here. She was buried in front of the church in Dietldorf in 1821. She was married to the then mayor of Regensburg, Gottlieb Carl Freiherr von Thon-Dittmer , who came into the possession of the Kirchenödenhart rule through marriage. After that, Kirchenödenhart came into rural possession and fell more and more towards the end of the 19th century.

Kirchenödenhart Castle around 1900

In 1788, according to the official description, Kirchenödenhart ( Kirchenettenhart ) had a castle, a castle chapel (a branch of the Dietldorf parish ), 26 subjects and 2 deserted areas.

From 1938 to 1940 the whole village of Kirchenödenhart and 59 other villages were replaced by the German Wehrmacht and incorporated into the Hohenfels training area . After the Second World War, the former Wehrmacht military training area in Hohenfels was revived: homeless people, Sudeten Germans, Romanians and Lithuanians took possession of the crumbled villages and deserted areas, built houses there again and leased the agricultural land. The priest Kammerer and the pastor Franz Xaver Schmid von Dietldorf rebuilt the partially destroyed church Maria Magdalena von Kirchenödenhart with the help of the Ordinariate Regensburg. On July 23, 1950 the inauguration of the restored church took place. A Catholic and a Protestant clergyman were given pastoral care. In the fall of 1952, the resurrected Kirchenödenhart had to be cleared again for the military, this time for the American troops. The three-story bell tower of the church is still preserved, the church interior has become a ruin. The church tower was renovated in 2004. The Romanesque church tower is a listed building. The renaissance altar of the church from 1590 in triptych form found a new home in the branch church of St. Jakobus in Emhof (district of Schmidmühlen ).
