Münchshofen is a village with about 800 inhabitants in the administrative region of Upper Palatinate in Bavaria . It is a district of the town of Teublitz in the Schwandorf district . Münchshofen existed as an independent municipality until 1971.

Geographical location

Jura landscape Münchshofener Berg

In terms of nature, the former municipality lies on the border between the Upper Palatinate Alb (see also Upper Palatinate Jura ) and Upper Palatinate Bruchschollenland .

history

The place is often confused with the eponymous site of the early Neolithic Münchshöfen culture . Settlements have been identified from the migration of peoples (Germanic settlement on the Münchshofener Berg) to the early Middle Ages (Carolingian settlement northwest of the castle). In 1213 monks from the Schottenkloster St. Jakob are said to have settled in Regensburg .

The place name Münchshofen appears in Burglengenfeld court files in 1514 when Jörg von Parsberg sen. is named as the owner of Hofmark Münchshofen.

Hofmark Münchshofen

As the owner of the closed Hofmark Münchshofen:

  • 1514–1572 von Parsberg family
  • 1572–1583 von Altmann family
  • 1583 Achz Freiherr von Tannberg
  • 1598 Agnes von Schollay, widow of Herr von Tannberg
  • 1605 Friedrich von Schollay
  • 1611 von Münch family
  • 1655 Hans Ernst von Taufkirchen
  • 1666 Johann Wilhelm Stettner von Grabenhof

The owners then change in quick succession. Continuity only returns with the Electoral Palatinate government councilor Pacher zu Eggenstorff.

From 1824 the Hofmark is run as a second class patrimonial court . In 1848 the last prerogatives of the royal lords were removed and the Münchshofen community was directly subordinated to the Burglengenfeld district court .

Münchshofen community

Around 1840 Münchshofen consisted of 36 houses and a mill. The 200 souls are assigned to the parish of Wiefelsdorf. Almost ten years earlier there were 30 houses and 175 inhabitants.

In its edition of August 5, 1869, Der Naabthal-Bote informs about the plans of the Bavarian government to combine the villages of Münchshofen with 411 inhabitants, Bubach an der Naab with 364 and Wiefelsdorf with 166 to form a mayor's office in Münchshofen .

  • In 1901 the district built an iron bridge over the Naab for 64,000 Reichsmarks.
  • In 1912 a road was laid along the Naab to the neighboring municipality of Premberg.
  • In 1949 the community built its own school building.
  • In 1969 the school in Münchshofen was closed.

On April 1, 1971, the Münchshofen community voluntarily incorporated into the town of Teublitz.

Traditional clubs

  • Münchshofen volunteer fire brigade, founded in 1872
  • Boys' club Morgenrot Münchshofen, founded in 1918

Münchshofen Castle

Münchshofen Castle is one of the rare monuments in the Upper Palatinate that completely follows the Renaissance style. The obelisks and currencies were added at a later time. The complex forms a courtyard closed on three sides towards the Naab. It is nine-axis in plan. At the rear there is a smaller, three-sided arcaded courtyard. The Münchshofener Berg, which rises steeply here, is provided with a retaining wall on two floors. In the center of the system is the clock tower with the two-flight flight of stairs. The castle is directly connected to the former castle chapel. A gateway to the Ökonomiehof, remains of the surrounding wall and a brick barn have been preserved.

Münchshofen Castle had at least one medieval predecessor, of which at least one tower still existed in the 18th century, as a contemporary view shows. The year 1597 was carved into one of the door jambs of the west wing. After being damaged in the Thirty Years' War , it was rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century.

In 1868, Julie Anna became Aretin's heiress to Schloss Münchshofen and married Count von Armansperg. In 1910, Baron Alexander von Moreau , royal Bavarian treasurer and councilor in Bad Kissingen , bought the castle with all its inventory and property for 120,000 marks. He was succeeded in 1925 by Maximilian Freiherr von Moreau († September 15, 1980) in community of heirs with his sister Eugenie von Moreau. In 1943 he married Margarethe Freiin von Ketteler in Strömede. The marriage resulted in three children: Huberta Freiin von Moreau, Alexandra Freiin von Moreau and Antonius Freiherr von Moreau, the current owner. The castle is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside. An auction on September 27, 2011 was unsuccessful. Münchshofen Castle is threatened with decay.

Castle Church of the Holy Cross and St. Margareta in Münchshofen

Filial church of the Holy Cross and St. Margaretha

The former castle chapel was completed in 1772. Today it is used as a branch church and is only open for church services. The chapel is a simple baroque building . The hall building has a flat ceiling with stucco. The epitaph of the church founder Joseph Antonius von Pachner zu Eggenstorff has been preserved. The chapel's furnishings originally included the work Ecce homo , which is attributed to the school of Lukas Cranach the Elder . It is on permanent loan in the Historical Museum in Regensburg.

Old grinding in Münchshofen

Glass grinding and polishing plant in Münchshofen

The glass loop was built in 1890 in the former Münchshofen hammer mill and the oil mill that was subsequently built here, linseed oil was produced here, by Gustav Zuber, the owner of the Loisnitz glass loop. A new building of a grinding and polishing plant and a foreman building with stables, grinder apartment, barn and sand hut, washing and baking house, pigsties, garden and courtyard was built. Two years later the business was expanded to include two bicycle rooms and a "Gypshütte". In 1897 the Spiegel AG in Neustadt an der Waldnaab was registered as the owner , followed in 1911 by the Schrenck company, also Neustadt an der Waldnaab, in 1928 by the Siegl von Schönau-Jägerleithen family and in 1934 by Franz and Karl Ring from the Frankenschleife .

The glass ribbon to Münchshofen moved into the cast glass processed here from Bohemia . The drawing glass was brought to the Schleif with carts . There were 80 sanding blocks in the lower and upper floors. Towards the end of the operating period, only the owner Siegl and his five sons were employed here; three people worked here in 1939 and six people worked here after World War II . In 1953 production was stopped and an electrical power plant was built. The former glass grinding and polishing plant is the only completely preserved glass polishing plant in the Upper Palatinate at the original location; it can be visited as part of museum tours.
