history

It is unclear when the previous building of the Kleinziegenfelds Castle was built. However, since the other two castle estates in Kleinziegenfeld had been sold by 1463 at the latest, the history with ownership and ownership of the fortress Kleinziegenfeld can be clearly assigned to the predecessor of the former castle from this point on.

1430–1668 Changing lords of the castle

After a complete or partial destruction during the Hussite invasion in 1430 , the castle was rebuilt. In 1433 Johann's brother and successor Friedrich VI sold. the castle to Konrad von Aufseß , whose family held the complex as a fief until 1551 or 1552. In 1551 or 1552, the von Waldenfels followed , which had a decade-long legal dispute over the complex against the heirs of Eucharius III. von Aufseß and were able to assert themselves. The hunter's house, commonly known as Kleinziegenfelder Schloss, was built in 1571. A year later Ursula von Künsberg bought the castle and the hunter's house, which meant that her husband Wilhelm founded a new branch of the family from Künsberg zu Ziegenfeld. Owners changed frequently in the 17th century. First, the Counts of Lynar took over the property. This was followed in 1649 the princely Brandenburg secret chamber husband and Chancellor Hilderic Anthony of Varell the From Trautenberg and from Pölnitz .

1668–1950 expansion as a castle and end of aristocratic administration

Anton Ludwig Ferdinand von Schaumberg, the last Schaumberger at Schloss Kleinziegenfeld, around 1850

In 1668 Georg Dietrich von Schaumberg bought the manor. Under the barons of Schaumberg, the complex was expanded as a castle and supplemented with horse stables, cattle shed, barn and a brewery, bakery and washing house. Kleinziegenfeld experienced a small heyday under Karl Franz von Schaumberg († 1804), who promoted the place and, for example, had the Bienleinsmühle and Schrepfersmühle rebuilt in order to increase profitability . From 1824 to at least 1830, the estate's agriculture, consisting of large lands with fields and meadows, a large flock of sheep with over 900 animals, residential and farm buildings including the brewery and equipment, was leased. In 1842, Ludwig Anton Ferdinand von Schaumberg sold the ruins of the castle, which were probably already in ruins, but kept his residence in the Jägerhaus and the lands. Around 1850, more than half of the 1091 daily work in the municipality of Kleinziegenfeld, with 568 daily work, belonged to the Jägerhaus , including the large fields in the great Hüll and Pechleiten. In addition, there were all the forests in the Hain district, on Götzelsberg and in Großer Lohr.

When Ludwig Anton Ferdinand was stabbed to death in the Jägerhaus on October 18, 1858 by his former hunter, whom he had dismissed for being unreliable, the Jägerhaus was inherited by Ludwig Anton's second eldest daughter Thecla Sophia and her husband Werner Friedrich Julius Stephan von Spiegel . After negotiations for the sale of the castle were started soon afterwards, at the latest from June 1859, and these failed, the property was again advertised for sale in newspapers from November 1860. At the beginning of 1861, Franz Friedrich Karl Freiherr von Seckendorff-Aberdar acquired the hunter's house from the Aberdar-Unternzenn-Ebneth family. In July 1861 he wrote it out for lease . It was described as "[...] composed [of] a beautiful two-story house, cattle and sheep stables, barns, brewery with brewing rights , not insignificant sheep farm, about 3½ TGW. Gardens [approx. 12,000 m²], 26½ dw. Wässerwiesen [approx. 90,000 m² / 90 ha ], 164 parts. Fields [approx. 559,000 m² / 55.9 ha] and 62 Tgw. Huthwaiden [approx. 211,000 m² / 21.1 ha] [...]. “Shortly before the Second World War, the Seckendorff sold the castle again and only kept the park and the extensive lands, including forests and meadows in both the Kleinziegenfelder valley and the surrounding area belong. The lands are still owned by the von Seckendorff-Aberdar family.

1950 – today: use as a private residence

A retired doctor from Bamberg lived in the Jägerhaus until the 1970s . After his death, the house stood empty for a few years until it was for sale in 1980 and, despite its bad condition, was bought by the Rhenish stone sculptor Joachim Mende and his wife. In the following years, the castle was thoroughly renovated inside and out and has been inhabited by the Mende family since 1990. Joachim Mende set up his studio in a newly constructed outbuilding in the inner courtyard of the facility.

architecture

Description of the lost lock

The old Ziegenfeld Castle was probably still standing around 1795. It was a four-wing building with a rectangular inner courtyard and four round corner towers. The north-eastern tower, which is around 13 m in diameter, has been handed down to us that it still stood in 1847. From the southwest corner tower, which is much smaller in diameter, an approximately 2 m high wall remains to this day. Somst there is nothing left of the former castle, which was built on a medieval core castle . Only the hunter's house to the west of the castle has been completely preserved.

Description of the hunter's house

The Jägerhaus was built in two phases. The older part in north-south direction has two storeys and a gable roof . An east wing from the 18th century adjoins the west wing at a right angle. The north side of the east wing forms a front with the gable wall of the west wing. The entrance to the house is located on the east gable wall in the form of a wooden gate. The roof is on this home page hipped . The courtyard is accessed through the gate in the west of the facility. Above the archway, on the side facing the street, there is a crown stone with the Schaumberg coat of arms.
