history

Piesing was founded as a real " -ing " place between 520 and 700 as a branch of a Puso . Only in the 13th century are documents available in which a presumed ministerial family of the Raitenhaslach monastery named after Piesing. A Konrad von Bvehsingen is mentioned in a traditional document of the monastery in 1253 as a witness at the handover of an estate, in the Raitenhaslacher Excerpta Genealogica from 1268 the brothers Heinrich and Wiching de Puhsingen (later also called Puchsinger ) are mentioned. An Ulschalich von Puesing is also mentioned in a Raitenhaslach document in 1309 as a witness because of a dispute between the abbot von Raitenhaslach and Ortlieb von Wald. In 1350 a whole family based in Piesing is listed ( Konrad von Piesing with his wife and sons Hans Stephan and Andree).

Around 1420 a Hans Püsinger is mentioned as the farmer sitting on Gut Piesing. He sold his property in 1489 to Hans Offenhaimer, rent master and land clerk in Burghausen . A family of Leonhart Steppuecher that has been on the Piesinger Hof since 1497 under inheritance law then changed its name to Piesinger . The Offenhaimer held Piesing between 1489 and 1571. It was under them that Piesing was promoted to a noble seat and finally to Hofmark . Kaspar Offenhaimer , lord of Piesing since 1512, received noblemen's freedom on July 31, 1536 from the dukes Wilhelm and Ludwig as wages for his services as caretaker of Wildshut and as boxer of Burghausen, and on December 4, 1541 he received the court march justice for his seat in Piesing . Caspar Offenhaimer acquires numerous other goods and is also given the right to hold a market in his Hofmark. His favorite place of residence in his Seibersdorf rule was Seibersdorf Castle , where he was buried after his death († 1550). His successor Onophrius Offenhaimer died a year later, leaving behind the three underage children Hans Christoph, Josua and Margaret. In 1555 there was a final division of the estate, in which the children of Onophrius a. a. Piesing were awarded. Eustachius, the brother of Onophrius, received rule and castle Guteneck and the other brother Hans the rule Seibersdorf. After the death of Hans Christoph and Josua, Margaret inherits Piesing in 1571. She was married to Konrad von Schwapbach and after the marriage remained childless, Piesing went from 1571 to 1695 to the Schwapbach family.

Konrad von Schwapbach, Mautner von Obernberg am Inn died in 1592, he was followed by his son Hans Sigwart auf Piesing, then in 1616 his younger brother Julius Rudolf von Schwapbach, married to Veronika, the daughter of the landlord Philipp Sickenhausen. After his death († 1671), his widow stayed at Piesing and was able to expand the property by purchasing the Rotenbergham estate . Piesing then went to Julius Franz and Philipp Reichard, the last sons of Konrad von Schwapbach. Inheritance disputes between the brothers and after the death of Philipp Reichard († 1691) with his wife and their eleven children led Julius Franz to appoint Adam Kaspar von Freyberg, master of Haiming Castle , as heir in his will . His son Carl Adam von Freyberg managed to acquire the other half of Piesing in 1711. Through a contract with his brother Judas Thaddäus he managed to become sole master of Piesing in 1716. After the death of Carl Adam († 1736), who had remained childless, his widow and sole heir Maria Theresia married Maximilian Franz Josef Freiherr von Berchem, rent master of Burghausen in 1740 . He, too, was able to greatly increase his property through skillful work (among other things he acquired the Hofmark Ritzung in 1736, the Hofmark Haiming in 1759, the Hofmark Niedernperach in 1780 and his possessions also included the Seibersdorf estate and castle). The Berchem remained in the possession of Piesing until 1869. Then Piesing came to the family of the Barons von Ow , who still reside in Piesing to this day. In 1939, Anton Freiherr von Ow again split the area between Piesing and Haiming.

Maria Hilf Palace Chapel

Piesing Castle then and now

Piesing is located in the southwestern neighborhood of Haiming on the orographic left bank of the Salzach . Caspar Offenhaimer began building the first castle (probably made of wood) and completed it in 1548. However, this castle burned down completely in 1600. In 1726, Carl Adam von Freyberg commissioned Martin Pöller to completely rebuild Piesing Castle. The interior from that time is still preserved today.

Today's palace is built on two floors on a rectangular floor plan with a high hipped roof. The tower standing on the side of the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, which protected the entrance to the castle, has come off. The gables are from the end of the 18th century. The adjacent Maria Hilf Palace Chapel is a new Baroque building from 1901 with appropriate furnishings and crowned with an onion dome. The library, a New Baroque mansard roof building set back to the side, dates from 1901. The palace garden is originally Baroque, but was redesigned in the English style in the 19th century. A Johannes Nepomuk picture stick from the 18th century can be found here.
