Pirk as a fiefdom of the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg

At the beginning of the 13th century, Pirk came to the Waldsassen monastery, then to Friedrich von Waldthurn via an exchange deal in 1218 and back to the monastery in 1261 through a gift from Berthold von Waldthurn and his wife Adelheid . In 1349 and 1352 the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg acquired the Waldsassen u. a. also pirk. Since then, Pirk has belonged to the Leuchtenberg district court. The Pirker were thus also the country residents of the Leuchtenbergers; a Jordan Pirker zu Pirk is named around 1472 among the “noble counselors and dear loyal followers” ​​of the landgrave. On January 26, 1396, Landgrave Albrecht I sold the town of Pirk to Hans the Trawtenberger , citizen of the pastures, and his wife Allheyt for 400 Hungarian guilders against the right to buy back . In 1414, Landgrave Leopold confessed that he owed Heinrich Notthracht von Wernberg 400 Hungarian guilders for the repurchase of Pirk. On May 4, 1451, Landgrave Leupold I (= Leopold) sold Pirk to the city of Weiden for 1400 fl , except for the district court, the blood ban and the great wild ban . In the middle of the 16th century, Christoph Trautenberg is the Landsasse zu Pirk. On September 1, 1531, Christoph von Trautenberg zu Fuchsmühl and Pirk was named among the Leuchtenberg feudal people; he bought Pirk in 1543. On February 23, 1562, Count Palatine von Pfalz-Neuburg , Wolfgang , called on Christoffn von Trautenberg to succumb to an army succession , which the Trautenbergers did not follow, because the Trautenbergers were "manned" the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg and not the Palatine. In a dispute with Thomas Trayerl zu Pürckh, the Trautenberger is referred to as a "poor man from Adl", but in the end the Trayerl has to give in with the brief of July 20, 1569 and ask for mercy. In 1577 the Landsasse had to pay 9 fl from his seat to the lordship. In 1579 Christoph von Trautenberg zu Pirk is described as deceased. In the same year an administrator of the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg moves up there.

In 1597, Landgrave Georg Ludwig awarded the Leuchtenberg chancellor and feudal provost Dr. Johann Federl († June 20, 1626) the community and the jurisdiction over Pirk. The landgrave reserved the right of patronage over the church, the protection of the church festival and the ban on blood . Already in 1595 the Dr. Johann Federl approved the construction of a brewery and malt house, against which the city of Weiden lodged an unsuccessful complaint. In this dispute, Pirk is referred to as the "old corporal aristocratic seat". In 1647 Sebastian Federl is the owner. In 1667 Maximilian Adam Federl sits on Pirk. The last of this family is Johann Leopold Federl , pastor of Straubing († January 16, 1734); his sister Maria Antonia Federl von Pürckh , who made a generous donation for the Pirk Church , was the valet of Empress Elisabeth in Vienna . According to the Leuchtenberger Salbuch of 1719, there were four manors in Pirk: Parish Schirmitz , Parish Luhe , Care Office Parkstein and the manor with the lower court of the Pirk estate. The latter included the castle, the Meierhof, the Bräuhaus and the Pirkmühle as well as three courtyards belonging to Hofmark Schirmitz. From 1748/49 the Federl'schen heirs are mentioned here , 19/16 farms belonged to the country estate at that time. In 1755 the country estate was sold to the von Riesenfeld family . On May 24, 1754, Johann Joseph von Riesenfeld , Lobkowitz's senior civil servant in Neustadt an der Waldnaab , resigned from the government of Leuchtenberg who had become electoral because of the Pirk estate that had been purchased. He died in Neustadt in 1775 and two epitaphs in the local parish church of St. Georg are dedicated to him and his wife Maria Magdalena . In Pirk he is commemorated by the statue of St. Nepomuk commissioned by him .

In 1777 Baron von Riesenfeld was succeeded by the Electoral Palatinate Chamberlain, Baron Heinrich von Grafenreith ; from him the Pirkmühle belonging to the country estate was sold to Bernhard Wurm on July 26, 1799 . On August 24, 1801, Pirk came to Count Franz Xaver von Holstein , electoral chamberlain and district judge of Amberg, on the Kaufweg .

With a rescript of October 27, 1838, eleven municipalities from the Vohenstrauss regional court, including Pirk, were assigned to the first class regional court in Weiden. On July 1, 1972, the Vohenstrauss district was dissolved and the communities there incorporated into the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district.
