The Raigering castle was located in what is now the district Raigering the Upper Palatinate town of Amberg in Bavaria . The castle went down in the first half of the 19th century.

history

The name Raigering was first mentioned in 1253 in a document from the Kastl monastery . In 1280 the name of the place appears in the land register of Ludwig the Strict under the name Reichkeringerius . In 1367 Konrad and Hans die Rehginger are called, and the spellings Räckering , Reckhering and Ragering are also mentioned in the following.

In 1716 Heinrich Müller was granted freedom of staff from the so-called Weihergut . Under his successor Johann Tobias Ignatius Nüz, Vice Governor and Count of Warterburg, Raigering was raised to court mark . In 1723 he also received a concession for a brewery . His widow still owned Raigering in 1739. In 1745, Oberforstmeisteradjunkt Konstantin Josef Graf von Buttler was enfeoffed with the country estate . In 1745 he married Elisabeth Baronesse von Jeszinsky from Pandura ( Slovenia ), who became the owner after the death of her husband. From her the property came to the grandson Count von Butler. The latter sold his property to Mayor von Yylander on October 31, 1812, who sold the property to the Minister Count Friedrich Karl von Thürheim on April 1, 1816 . This divided the estate. The castle mentioned in 1809 is no longer included in the Raigering cadastre from 1842, so it must have been removed.

Construction

According to an undated plan, the castle was a two-story building with a double hipped roof and two smaller side wings. A row of dormers was inserted in the hipped roof . The castle area was separated from the surrounding area by a row of trees and hedges, the castle itself lay below the Krumbach , which also formed the border between the Hofmark and the village of Raigering. The castle stood on the area of ​​today's parish church of Raigering, the old sports field of SV Raigering belonged to the castle property. The castle building is also shown on the logo of the "D'Racheringer Panduren" founded in 2018.

The walls of the castle courtyard still served as the backdrop for the Pandur Festival "Incursions of the French in 1796 in Raigering", in 1965 these were also torn down for the new church.
