history

According to a tradition of the Weißenohe monastery , Count Palatine Albero from the Aribonen family donated this place to the monastery in 1053. Fichtelnaab was first mentioned in 1061 under the name Crumbanaba . In 1109, Crummenaba was confirmed as belonging to Weißenohe Monastery in a papal document. Is not known exactly when the place of the Wittelsbach has entered, either by the Konradinsche Heritage 1268 or by the sales of Leuchtenberger of 1283. 1285 is Chrumnnab in Urbar of the Bavarian dukes as an accessory to the castle Störnstein referred. At that time and again in 1349, the local nobility of the Chruombnaber is also mentioned. Between 1356 and 1382 the Wilde von Willdenreuth owned the castle. In 1361 Engelhardt Wilde von Welnreut zu Krumnab and his brothers Wolfart , Ulrich and Michel are named. Hans Wild followed, followed by his son Heinrich . His heirs sell the castle in 1382 to the Notthafft . In 1397 the castle became an "open house" for the burgraves of Nuremberg . After the death of Albrecht XII. Gilg and Conrad Nothaft inherit the castle from Weißenstein . 1438 Albrecht XIII. Nothaft of Bodenstein and Krummennaab named as owners. In 1448 Krummennaab also became an "open house" for the Count Palatine on the Rhine . From 1560 to 1564 the Nothaft leased the castle to Leutdolph von Gottfard . In 1564 the castle was sold to Georg Wispeck zu Velburg and Winklarn , who gave the castle to Elector Friedrich as a fiefdom and thus made it a fiefdom of the Electorate of the Palatinate. From 1571 to 1588, Georg von Rochau , district judge and keeper of Parkstein, lived here and followed him Son Hans Joachim von Rochau until 1616 and then his sons. From 1668 to 1725 Krummenna passed from their heirs to the Lindenfels . Then the French nobleman Louis Anne de Sainte Marie Eglise acquired the Krummennaab estate and founded a glass foreman. This was followed in 1787 by the Barons von Öxle auf Friedberg , then Georg von Grafenstein or his heirs and in 1865 Karl Theodor Freiherrn von Künsberg . The latter "smashes" the property and the castle falls into the hands of the bourgeoisie.

Krummennaab Castle then and now

The castle was probably built well before it was first mentioned in 1349. 1560 is from a dwelling with a forecourt and room buildings , i. H. Wooden buildings, the speech. In 1705 the complex was destroyed by fire, but then rebuilt by Karl Christian von Lindenfels using the still usable wall material. In 1731 and in the 19th century the outbuildings of the castle burned down, but are being rebuilt. In 1823 there is still a moat, over which a stone bridge leads to the castle. In the forecastle there are several buildings (cereals blame, coach house, horse, ox and cow barn, tenant apartment with kitchen and piggery, sheep hut Brauhaus and barrels blame). The castle itself is a rectangular building approx. 22 × 27 m with vaulted cellars, a ground floor and an upper floor.

In 1874 Franz Mühlmeyer from Kemnath ran a match factory in the castle . In 1894 Josef Peschka from Reuth built a porcelain kiln here and produced porcelain with around 30 workers. In 1897, Wenzeslaus Mannl acquired most of the former castle buildings and in 1898 added an annex to the old castle building facing west, in which he installed three more kilns by 1912. The porcelain factory was acquired in 1939 by the Weiden porcelain manufacturer Wilhelm Seltmann . The outer bailey buildings were then gradually demolished and the castle building was demolished in 1966. In 2001 the porcelain factory was closed, twelve years later the entire plant was demolished and the site was taken over by the municipality of Krummennaab.

Today only two coat of arms stones walled into a residential building and a baroque fence pillar remind of the former castle.
