Pillmersried Castle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lost Pillmersried Castle was located in the district of the same name in the Upper Palatinate town of Rötz in the Cham district of Bavaria . The castle stood in the southern part of the Rötzbach on a small elevation from Pillmersried.

history

The name of the place is derived from the name Pilgrim and denotes a clearing of the Pilgrim. This place is mentioned for the first time in 1320, when Dietrich and Werner von Schneeberg certified the sale of a farm in Fahrnersdorf (today a district of Rötz) and Pilgreimsrevt in our farm . In 1488 Pillmersried was first run as a country estate of Mathias Reschauer ; at that time it probably belonged to the Schwarzenburg rule . Between 1503 and 1580 Pillmersried was owned by the Krenzl family . Then it came to Georg Krenzel's brother-in-law, Georg Erber . This was followed in 1592 by Daniel von Schönstein and in 1597 by Hanns Christoph Fuchs on Schneeberg . In 1600 he handed over Pillmersried to his son-in-law Georg Peter von Satzenhofen and then to his other son-in-law Hanns Otto von Ebleben , who also owned Thannstein Castle . His widow sold Pillmersried to Jobst Sigmund von Sazenhofen . Anna Elisabeth von Sparneck followed as owner in 1617, Ludwig Sauerzapf in 1622 and Ebleben again from 1627 . After the expropriation of the Protestant Friedrich Wilhelm von Ebleben in 1636, Pillmersried came back to the Sauerzapf . They were followed by the dog and in 1693 Philipp Gaston Wolf von Wolfsthal , u. a. the owner of Thannstein. Since his only son died in 1713, he took his friend, Count Schönborn-Wiesentheid , in place of his son and bequeathed the county with all its possessions to him.

In 1747 Pillmersried (always with Thanstein Castle ) came to the Freiherr von Wittmann and in 1785 to Count Max von Holnstein . In 1804 the property was "smashed". The castle, hardly used by its owners, was demolished in the 19th century and nothing can be seen of it. There also seem to be no pictures of Pillmersried Castle.
