The lost Mörmoosen Castle was located in the district of the same name in the municipality of Tüßling in the Altötting district of Bavaria (Am Kirchberg 13).

History of Mörmoosen Castle and District Court

Mörmoosen was part of the Isengau in the early and high Middle Ages , which was part of the Archdiocese of Salzburg according to the Notitia Arnonis created by Archbishop Arn . In a dispute in 1285, the archbishopric of Salzburg claimed that Mörmoosen Castle was on Salzburg territory, since 930 Mörmoosen and its castle ( urbs ) had been given to Salzburg by noble Otachar .

Two noble families can be traced here in the 12th century. An Englram (urk. Exp . 1122–1135) is mentioned as a nepos of Meginhard von Ehring . Around 1130 Kraiburger Ministeriale was based here, with a Siboto († around 1150) being a natural son of Count Sigboto II of Weyarn († 1136). Siboto was married to a noble Benedikta, whose son Sigiboto is documented between 1147 and 1185. A von Eslerwalde family was also active here: A Fridericus de Eslarwald appears as a trustee in 1189, he is also found in a row of witnesses with an Eberhardus de Eslarwald . The Eslerwald (see below) came to the Archdiocese of Salzburg as a royal forest in 1027 . A Salzburg land register Eslerwald is mentioned in 1177 and 1216.

The formation of a ducal district court is initially closely linked to the family of the Lords von Wald . The brothers Ortlieb and Otto von Wald were in a dispute with the Raitenhaslach monastery and assumed court and bailiff rights here. In 1240, Duke Otto II confirmed to the monastery his rights with regard to the high level of jurisdiction (i.e. for acts of blood, rape and theft) that was exercised by the Lords of Wald. The monastery was also given lower jurisdiction . High and low jurisdiction and other related rights (taxes, shelter and fodder rights) make up county law. In a document dated November 28, 1244, Count Palatine Rapoto III promised . the monastery in particular the lower jurisdiction, but reserved the blood jurisdiction . In 1259 and 1260, Duke Heinrich notifies the monastery that the two brothers Ortlieb and Otto von Wald have renounced all county rights with the exception of the ban on blood. The town and Mörmoosen Castle were transferred from the Counts of Kraiburg to the Bavarian duke on the Kaufweg in 1260, presumably including the county rights in this regard. Most of the goods remained in spiritual possession (until the 18th century) (Archbishopric Salzburg, Salzburg Cathedral Chapter , Baumburg Monastery ). On December 12, 1317, Ludwig the old Grans appeared as the owner of the Wald and Mörmoosen dishes that he had received from King Otto of Hungary , the former Duke of Lower Bavaria. After that, Ludwig the young Grans settled on Wald and Mörmoosen.

The Grans are the forerunners of the later keepers who took over the administration of the castle and judicial district for a certain period of time for a fee. The first carer on Mörmoosen known by name is Hartneid der Grans in 1366 , then a Herr von Layminger in 1402, Albrecht Rinsmaul in 1402 , etc. The carers could also employ district judges , such as Chunrat der Auwer (1302), Wolfhard (1315), Ulrich der Müller (1369) etc.

In the Second Erhartingen Treaty of July 20, 1275, the Bavarian Duke stipulates that he wants to preserve the jurisdiction of the Salzburg Church in Isengau and Eslerwald (with Mörmoosen and Kraiburg), but reserves the county rights ( cometia ). It is presumed that since then a Bavarian regional court Mörmoosen (with higher jurisdiction) and a Salzburg prope court in the woods (with lower jurisdiction) have arisen. This corresponds with the naming of the first judge Chunrat der Auwer zu Mörmoosen (August 10, 1302), who was appointed by Ludwig the Grans. 1317 Mörmoosen is designated as a district court. A Heinricus senior de Harschichen iudex in terminis Muldorfensibus was named as the first Salzburg judge on September 19, 1278 .

On August 7, 1331, the Kraiburg and Mörmoosen courts were assigned to the Dukes of Lower Bavaria when the country was divided. From 1505 these belonged to the Viztumamt or Rentamt Burghausen , the Mörmoosen court was dissolved in 1804.

Mörmoosen Castle then and now

As can be seen in the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, Mörmoosen Castle was on a hill; She was armed with high and provided with buttresses walls, into which the three-storey palace was involved. Two towers can be seen, one with an onion dome , the other with a pointed roof. A second building can be seen within the walls. In 1750 Mörmoosen Castle was destroyed in a fire.

What remains of the palace is the former palace chapel of St. Peter and Paul. This castle chapel of the former Mörmoosen nursing home is a small gable roof building with a turret, built on an almost square floor plan without a choir. Its core probably goes back to the 14th century, a baroque expansion took place in the 18th century, the roof turret dates from the 19th century.
