history

In 1380 a seat called the Kollmannslehen was mentioned here. This was sold by Jakob den Kolb in front of the mountain to Ulrich Fronhammer, carer at Erneck . The property was a fiefdom of the Freising Cathedral Chapter .

This first seat is likely to have continued for a long time. 1500 a Christoph Graßlreuter is called to Malching and Christoffen Grasslreuter left Witib there . In 1502 the seat appears at Margaratha Grasslreuter, who left it to her father. Since her mother was born in Karpfheim, the seat must have been owned by the Karpfheimers in the second half of the 15th century. Margaretha was married for the second time to the Freising bailiff Gilg Gaßner. In 1521 she and her husband sell a Gilt to the Baumgartner brothers in Frauenstein. In 1537 the seat was completely taken over by the Baumgartners and is no longer mentioned in the following. In 1615, however, the Gassnergut was exchanged for Martin and Christine Widmann. In 1674 the saddler Martin Halbenstein took over. In 1692 it was given to Bartholomäus Taubenböck, farmer on the Sattlergut in Malching, under inheritance law .

The buyer Ulrich Fronhammer, on the other hand, built his own castle next to the church in Malching in 1415, i. H. a second seat in Malching. Malching has been a Hofmark since 1448 . In the next few centuries the Fronhammer were completely traceable on Malching; Mentioned are Pankraz der Fronheimer (1438), Gilg and Christoph die Fronhamer (1468), Lucas Fronhamer (1500, 1503), Hans Fronhamer (ca.1542, 1560), Ludwig Fronhamer (1596). The last of the Fronhamer was Achatzius Fronhamer. He sold the castle to the B (P) aumgartner zu Ering , namely the castle including the moat, wood, meadows, vineyards, brewery, landable to the Freysing cathedral chapter to Wolf Paumgarten zu Ering, who was married to an Elisabeth, a sister of Fronhamers . In the Thirty Years' War and the Malching castle was devastated. Then the dilapidated manor house was repaired again.

On March 12, 1734, the cathedral chapter asked Elector Carl Albrecht to sell the Hofmark to the Baumgartner's heirs; this request was approved by the sovereign on March 30, 1734.

Malching Castle was demolished by the Baumgartners in 1750 and the resulting material was used to expand Ering Castle . T. also to the new rectory building. In 1932, the last remnant was the Malchinger grave digger's house. This house was once part of the Fronhamersche Malching Castle. At the end of the castle and cemetery fortifications, the gravedigger's house had no windows in the entire west wall, but four semicircular peepholes. In 1793 the Baumgartner zu Ering and also Herren von Malching called themselves. The basic rule of the Paumgartner lasted in Malching until the revolutionary year 1848.

Appearance of Malching Castle

After the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the palace consisted of a closed square courtyard. The originally high circular wall that surrounded the cemetery was provided with key notches and a battlement. A wide moat ran around the castle and was filled with water. The churchyard fortifications were connected to the castle, so that a jointly walled area resulted. There was a gate tower at the exit of the cemetery, and the gate was also secured with a tower on the west side. From the remains of the castle is u. a. today's rectory was built.

The wall around the church facing the street today still gives an idea of ​​the former fortifications.
