Pettendorf Castle (Neunburg vorm Wald)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pettendorf Castle

The Pettendorf Castle (also Pettendorf Castle ) is located in the Pettendorf district of the town of Neunburg vorm Wald in the Schwandorf district .

Upper Palatinate line of the Lords of Pettendorf

Pettendorf is called Pennedorf in 1273 and Penndorf in 1326 . The place is therefore the settlement of a Benno or Penno . This Upper Palatinate line of the Pettendorfer seems to have been related to the family of the gentlemen von Pettendof-Lengenfeld-Hopfenohe , who had their headquarters in Pettendorf near Regensburg. The coat of arms of both families refers to this relationship (the Pettendorfer von Neunburg vorm Wald used a black ring in a white field as their coat of arms, the Pettendorfer line of the Pettendorfer had a silver ring in a red coat of arms).

Coat of arms of the Pettendorfer in Siebmacher's book of arms

1150 handed Seifried Pettendorf the ensdorf abbey an estate in Swante . In a tradition of the monastery of the old chapel in Regensburg with the monks from the monastery in 1187 a Heinricht von Pettendorf is sealed . In 1209 Perthold Pettendorfer is abbot of the Ilmmünster monastery .

In 1297 Dietrich Petendorfer appeared in a donation in favor of the Walderbach Monastery . Dietricus de Petendorf witnessed the handover of goods to Schönthal Abbey in 1299 . In 1319 Erhard Paetendorffer had courtyards in Penting as pledge from the dukes in Lower Bavaria , and in 1323 he received the tithe in the entire Eschlkam office . Ulrich von Pettendorf dedicated himself to the service of King Ludwig against the Habsburg Frederick the Handsome in 1321 . Ulrich probably died in the battle of Mühldorf .

Conrad von Pettendorf married Richild Mukentaler von Schönhofen in 1360 and moved to the Rhineland Palatinate. In 1323 an Alt from Pettendorfer seals his brother-in-law Ruger von Warberg when he sells his village Buch in the Neunburg court of Reichenbach. Altmann der Pettendorfer was married to Warberg's sister. Their sons were Ulrich and Dietrich . Ulrich was elected abbot of the St. Emmeram monastery in 1402 († 1423). Peter Pettendorfer , presumably a son of Dietrich , appears as a citizen of Cham in 1429 . Hans Bettendorffer , son of Peter , calls himself von Pettendorf again in 1454. That year, Hilpolt Steyner gave the bailiwick of Pingarden to his son-in-law Hanns Bettendorffer zu Bettendorf . With this Hans , the tribe in the Upper Palatinate seems to have died out in 1484. Thomas Pettendorfer was slain by a Franconian branch in Nuremberg in 1503 and with him the Upper Palatinate line of those in Pettendorf died out. The Pettendorfer line of the Palatinate, which is derived from Conrad von Pettendorf , did not die out until the end of the 20th century and the name is still carried on today via an adopted son.

history

The late Gothic castle was probably built at the beginning of the 15th century, the builders were the lords of Pettendorf, from whose family the abbot Ulrich von St. Emmeram in Regensburg (1402–1423) emerged. The castle came to Ruprecht Uttinger as an Upper Palatinate fief in 1509 , who had been in Pettendorf's possession since 1488. Michael Uttinger is enfeoffed with the seat from 1510 to 1529 . Lorenz von Plassenberg follows in 1530 ; Pettendorf held this family until 1588. In 1588 Hans Wilhelm Castner bought the Pettendorf fiefdom from Christoph von Plassenberg. In 1609 Hans Jakob Lindhardt , Richter zu Winklarn, bought Pettendorf from Hans Wilhelm Castner . In 1617 he owned Katzdorf Castle in addition to Pettendorf and was a judge in Cham. In 1630 he had to leave the country because of his religious affiliation. From 1628 to 1637 his son Hans Ulrich Lindhardt managed Pettendorf for his father. In 1652 this Hans Ulrich pays homage to the sovereign. He died without children and his two sisters renounced their inheritance, which is why Pettendorf fell back to Kurbayern . On July 16, 1661, Hans Christoph von Gravenreuth bought Pettendorf. Badly damaged in the Thirty Years' War , Pettendorf was sold to an Adam Lochner von Palnitz in 1664 . In 1679 Christoph Jobst owned Bernhard von Satzenhofen zu Wilbersdorf , keeper of Nabburg , Pettendorf Castle. In 1687, his son Johann Friedrich sat on Pettendorf († 1704). His son Franz Siegmund was a Teutonic Knight and consequently had no descendants. At the end of the 17th century, Pettendorf and the neighboring Katzdorf had the same owners. In 1717 Johann Georg von Zehmann moved to Pettendorf, this family remained in the possession of Pettendorf until 1782. In 1784 Johann Georg von Mosburg auf Schwarzeneck is the owner and in 1798 Wenzl Schedl von Greifenstein . The last owner (from 1801) is Baron Johann Baptist von Ott auf Katzdorf and Pettendorf , he had to sell his property in Pettendorf to goods dealers.

Late Gothic bay window on the east side

In 1809 Pettendorf formed together with Katzdorf a second class patrimonial court , which belonged to the baron Johann Baptist von Ott . A requested allodification was rejected in 1821 and the jurisdiction of Pettendorf passed to the state.

present

The building is a four-story gable roof construction from the beginning of the 15th century. Profiled window walls on the first and second floors mark the former stately living spaces. On the east side there is a Gothic flat bay window resting on three consoles with a ribbed vault and tracery window. It is built from sandstone blocks and sits on three granite consoles, which are decorated with pointed coats of arms. There was once a smaller bay window on the north side. The pointed arched entrance to the tower is only slightly raised on the ground floor. Like the basement, this has a barrel vault.

Originally, the castle was surrounded by a curtain wall and a moat until 1850 . There is only a pond left of this. The curtain wall was torn down in 1850. After a fire in 1892 the roof structure was renewed. The castle was restored in the 1970s. It has been privately inhabited since then and cannot be visited.
