history

Hammer from Kröblitz

In Kröblitz was the country estate and the hammer of Kröblitz (today the hamlet of Hammerkröblitz). The latter did not belong to the Landsassengut Kröblitz until July 10, 1755. On October 15, 1376, Count Palatine Ruprecht the Younger gave Leonhard Ruetz , citizen of Amberg , the hammer from Kröblitz against various obligations (e.g. maintenance of the bridge over the Schwarzach and further interest payments). In 1413 there is evidence of a Peter Fronauer making a pledge to Count Palatine Johann . In 1423 Mertel Walzer is in possession of the hammer. In 1499 the hammer master Eberhard Heber had to pay 20 fl . On April 17, 1517, Elector Ludwig V and Count Palatine Friedrich issued a hammer letter in favor of Lorenz Hebers . The Heber family owned the hammer until 1581. On May 19, 1581, the hammer from Tiefenbach, Hans Manner, was sold to Hans Sannter . Even the hammer at Kröblitz (1659) was boring and impassable after the Thirty Years' War .

In 1870 there was still a charcoal furnace in Hammerkröblitz, one of the few private huts in the Upper Palatinate at that time. Iron ore from the Erzberg zu Amberg was smelted here and processed into semi-finished products such as bar and bar iron. The hammer hut was later converted into a mirror grinding and polishing plant. Today there is a small power station here.

Landsassengut Kröblitz

The aristocratic Kröblitz estate was owned by Georg des Prackendorf in 1255 . His brother Heinrich followed him until 1304 . Heinrich the Prackendorfer zu Prackendorf and Kröblitz fought from 1264 to 1268 with four helmets of noble servants on the side of Rudolf von Habsburg against the bishop of Basel, Heinrich von Neuenburg .

The next owners of Chreblicz are in 1344 and 1346 Fridrich and Konrad die Mävsschendorfer (Meuschendorfer). In 1360 Count Palatine Ruprecht the Younger gave the Ruger Fraysleich his tithe at Chreblicz. In 1407 Friedrich the Hofmeister is proven here. Christoph Uttinger is matriculated with Kröblitz from 1419 to 1488. He was succeeded by Kaspar Uttinger between 1503 and 1544 and by Georg Uttinger after 1545 . In 1548 he sold the country estate to Sigmund Eysen , who was in a dispute with the elector over the court rights of Kröblitz. The son of Sigmund Eysen sold Kröblitz to Karl Preuning , who reimbursed the landlord removal in 1586 and was then entered in the land register. Preuning's widow Barbara and the guardians of his children sold Kröblitz on January 6, 1618 to Sebald Stenzing , who in 1629 had to sell his "noble, freyeigen knight and country estate Kröblitz" to Gerhard Adam Pfreimbder . Sebald Stenzing zu Kröblitz and Hans Sigmund Portner zu Than were supporters of Calvinism in the Neunburg district, but in Stenzing's time the Catholic faith was reintroduced in the Upper Palatinate. According to a report by the caretaker in Neunberg on April 19, 1626, both had their wives, who were about to give birth, taken to remote Calvinist parishes in order to have their children baptized by Calvinist preachers . In addition, Stenzing had granted asylum to the former Calvinian inspector Georg Schultes from Neunburg and his deacon Johann Menzel in his castle in Kröblitz. Stenzing emigrated to Regensburg and died here in 1629.

Since Gerhard Adam Pfreimbder could not pay the purchase price, he had to sell the manor to Philipp de Marsin , keeper of Pleystein , on September 4, 1629 . With this there were legal disputes because of the purchase price, so that after his death (1638) widow had to return the manor to the Stenzing heirs. Thereafter, the daughter of Sebald Stenzing, Anna Elisabeth Hofer von Lobenstein , came into the possession of Kröblitz. After his conversion on July 20, 1651, her husband Adam Georg Hofer zu Lobenstein resigned from the compulsory Landsassen. After the Thirty Years' War the Landsasserei was empty and rented out . The widowed Anna Maria Hofer had to sell the property to Johann Niklas Ott von Ottengrün in 1680 . Shortly before his death in 1716, he sold the estate to Franz Kaspar von Wildenau , who was married to Maria Euphrosina von Ottengrün . Franz Caspar von Wildenau was raised to the baron status on March 1, 1735 and then called himself Franz Kaspar Freiherr von Wildenau, called Castner von und zu Kröblitz . He had the old castle torn down and built the Kröblitzer Castle, which is still standing today. The castle chapel was built with funds from a foundation of Anna Helena von Wildenau and was opened in 1743 in honor of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and St. Nepomuk inaugurated.

Their son, Johann Michael Franz von Wildenau , was married to Maria Elisabeth Mayerhoferin . She was the daughter of Anna Eva Mayerhoferin , whose brother Georg Niklas Pleyer was co-owner of the hammer at Kröblitz. Since the latter was childless, he bequeathed most of his property to his brother Johann Andreas and his sister Anna Eva . The other half of the hammer belonged to the five children and the widow of their late brother Johann Thomas Pleyer . After the death of Georg Niklas († 1735), Anna Eva's husband, Johann Andreas Harburger († 1756), raised claims to the hammer. Due to total over-indebtedness, he was forced to sell everything to Johann Michael Franz von Wildenau in 1755 . Only after a long argument about the payment of the debts was he enrolled on November 7, 1759 with Kröblitz. There was a dispute between the district court of Neunburg and the Wildenauer for years about the jurisdiction of the hammer. In 1776 the Landsasserei was handed over to the son Wolfgang Anton von Wildenau , who was only able to give up the Landsasserei in 1779.

As early as 1782, Wolfgang Anton von Wildenau sold the estate to Wilhelm Freiherr von Weinbach , electoral secret councilor and government chancellor. It was not until 1786 that he had his lawyer discard the compulsory Landsassenpflicht. In 1784 he applied for lower jurisdiction on the country estate and the hammer Kröblitz, which was also approved. In 1790 he was raised to the status of imperial baron as lord of the Kröblitz, Geigant and Oberried estates. His wife Maria Anna Barbara von Weinbach was born from Reitzenstein zu Schönkirch. He died on December 1, 1826 in his castle in Kröblitz.

In 1803 Kröblitz belonged to the district court of Neunburg vorm Wald . On September 15, 1813, Wilhelm von Weinbach applied for the establishment of a local court on Kröblitz. This was approved on March 24, 1814 after various inconsistencies about the jurisdiction over the subjects of the hammer Kröblitz were resolved. On May 18, 1818 Weinbach applied for the formation of a first class patrimonial court , which was also approved. But since he was often absent and could not meet the obligation to self-perception of the jurisdiction, he contented himself with a second class patrimonial court, which was confirmed to him on July 30, 1821. He was followed by his son Joseph Freiherr von Weinbach , major general and royal chamberlain. This brought Köblitz to the Gant and in the subsequent auction the property was "smashed" on June 18, 1837. As a result, Kröblitz was in the hands of a bourgeois owner. The patrimonial jurisdiction over Kröblitz was extradated to the state on November 25, 1848. The Hofmann family has owned Kröblitz since April 12, 1886. The family name is now Grimm.

On July 1, 1972, Kröblitz lost its independence as a municipality and was incorporated into Neunburg.

architecture

The former castle has been a castle brewery and restaurant since 1878. The brewery was built on March 2, 1773 under the baron Franz Michael von Wildenau.

The two-storey, hook-shaped baroque hipped roof construction dates from 1739. The castle and the associated stables and farm buildings were protected by moats and the Schwarzach River. Even today a pond reminds of the earlier situation.
