The expired Laberweinting Castle was a moated castle in the Lower Bavarian municipality of Laberweinting in the Straubing-Bogen district of Bavaria .

history

In Breviarius Urolfi , Laberweinting was called Wihmvntinga around 790 . The place Laberweinting was mentioned in various foundations and donations, so on April 5, 1281 Heinrich II. Von Rotteneck donated Herbordus for himself and his parents at the cathedral in Regensburg with Laberweinting goods that had become free after the death of Wolfgang von Schierling de Sünching gave his property at Laberweinting to the Bishop of Regensburg on August 21, 1292. Around 1320 the Greul, patrons of the Mallersdorf monastery , appeared as court lords of Laberweinting. Around 1334 Gebhard Mengkofer had jurisdiction over Laberweinting. On February 14, 1348 Friedrich von Achdorf was named as the owner of the Hofmark. The Achdofer family is attested until 1374 in Laberweinting, on August 12, 1374 Konrad the Mengkofer again appeared here in Weiting. In 1394 Ulrich der Aspeck owned the Hofmark. In 1397 Hans der Klosner zu Arensdorf was called here. In 1404 Friedrich the pipe maker and brother-in-law of Konrad Mengkofer was named. In 1405 Ulrich von Aspeck zu Weinting appeared here as a surety. The power relations seem to have been very fragmented at this time.

In 1422 the rule passed to Wilhelm Fraunberger , who also appeared here as lord of the court. On April 19, 1430 he wrote a marriage letter to his wife Margreth, daughter of Wilhelm von Wolfenstein, for the sum of 2,000 guilders at his castle in Laberweinting. Wilhelm Fraunberger had distinguished himself as a knight in France and decided to relocate there. He bequeathed the property in Laberweinting to the sons of his sister, who had married Georg von Aichberg in 1395. In a later will, however, he bequeathed these goods to his cousin Sigmund von Fraunberg. This led to legal proceedings, which were decided in favor of the Aichberger. On the Landtafel of 1447 still Wilhelm Frauenberger appeared here on wine Ting and even 1449 Laberweinting was under the management of the nurse Oswald Taxauer. In 1464 the Aichberger Laberweinting finally owned. According to the Landtafel, Laberweinting belonged to the brothers Hans and Wilhelm Aichberger in 1494. On August 11, 1495, Johann von Aichberg zu Hals sold Laberweinting to the Count von Neuen Kolberg . In 1486, Ulrich Elsenbeck zu Gitting came here as a nurse. Ulrich II. Count von Ortenburg , son-in-law of Hans von Aichberg, worked here in this position around 1500 .

In 1510 Gilg von Münichau, husband of Elisabeth von Fraunberg, appeared as master of Laberweinting. In 1558 Hans von Münichau, the caretaker at Teisach, resided here, in 1564 Hans Sigmund Münchauer was called to Laberweinting, in 1591 Wilhelm von Münichau († April 23, 1604) was mentioned. The last of this family (1604–1606) is the widow of Max von Münichau, née von Königsfeld. 1606–1614 followed Wilhelm Hans von and zu Sünzenhofen. In 1616 a Hans von Morolding appeared here; the Moroltinger and his heirs owned the Hofmark until 1627. Their successors were the Haimhausers (1629–1664). Through the marriage of Maria Anna von Haimhausen to Paul Christoph von Leiblfing, Laberweinting came into the possession of this baronial and later count family until 1748. In 1748, Joseph Ferdinand Max von Leiblfing, the last of the family, died.

In 1751, Laberweinting was called a noble Fresing court . In 1752 the Hofmark was owned by Heyl, with Johann Theodor von Bayern (von Heyl?) Bishop of Regensburg, Liège and Freising. In 1757 Laberweinting was a noble von Egger'sche Hofmark and in 1756 an Axthalb'sche Hofmark . In 1780 Joseph von Axthalb owned the lower court district of Laberweinting, and in 1781 his cousin of the same name succeeded him. On September 16, 1783, Christian August Graf von Königsfeld bought this Hofmark. In 1797 this was called von Königsfeld auf Laberweinting . Laberweinting kept this family until after the secularization .

In 1812, Laberweinting was awarded as Crown Majorate property by King Max Joseph to the Minister Maximilian Joseph Graf von Montgelas as patrimonial 2nd class. In May 1834, Laberweinting was sold to the Princes of Thurn and Taxis and elevated to a first class patrimonial court. In 1848 the Reichsrat von Thurn und Taxis renounced the jurisdiction. Only the forests remained with the Thurn und Taxis house, the castle and the brewery were sold to the economist Kraus from Adlhausen. The widow of their son Ignaz Kraus married the farmer's son Franz Neumaier von Münchsdorf, from whom the building was transferred to the goods dealer Niefanger from Leiblfing in 1910.

Location of the former Laberweinting Castle

Laberweinting Castle then and now

As can be seen in the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the Laberweinting Castle was a complex enclosed by a moat that could only be reached via a wooden bridge. There was a gate with another building in front of the bridge. The buildings were two to three storeys high, the main building was covered with a hipped gable roof . The walls surrounding the castle as well as the castle itself were decorated with plaster decorations.

The Laberweintinger Castle was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , but was then rebuilt in 1664 by Paul Christoph Freiherrn von Leiblfing auf Rain und Schönach, Truchsess and Pfleger von Haidau, in the form as the engraving by Wening shows. Remains of the castle are probably still in a building that once served as a butcher's shop. This building is currently empty. From the former moat there was still a small pond until the 30s of the last century; this was then filled in and is now a meadow.

Underground medieval finds and early modern finds were made in the area of ​​the abandoned Laberweinting Castle.
