Rauberweiherhaus Castle around 1906

The abandoned Rauberweiherhaus Castle was located in the district of the same name in the Upper Palatinate municipality of Wackersdorf in the Schwandorf district of Bavaria .

history

The Rauberweiherhaus originally belonged to the Sankt Clara monastery in Regensburg . Bartholomäus Sechser , Taxölderner forester and carer at Bruck in the Upper Palatinate , acquired the house, which was in ruins at the time, from the monastery on January 20, 1705. He had previously financially helped rebuild the Warbrucker, Weixelbrunner and Hammer ponds that had been destroyed by floods, but these ponds had been given to the state after the reconstruction, and so Sechser could not benefit from his investment. To settle his claim, he applied for the freedom of the citizens of his house and the exercise of the high wild ban . On July 8, 1708, the imperial government administration decided that Bartholomäus Sechser's demands were legitimate and that he would receive the freedom of the residents of the Rauberweiherhaus including his pertinence.

The Rötzer chief forestry master Max von Schlichting objected to these concessions , as the high hunting rights could cause considerable damage to the sovereign wild stock. The Fronberg estate owner Wilhelm Franz von Spiering , on the other hand, wanted to prevent certain reasons (it was specifically the Oelsenhof , which allegedly did not come from the Monastery of St. Klara to the Sechser when it was bought) that he believed to be part of the property Rauberweiher goods are counted. These divergences dragged on without resolution until 1717.

Sechser had received permission to build a mill and a cutting saw on the Rauberweihergut in 1710 and was raised to the nobility on August 19, 1712. These privileges were confirmed to the six on May 8, 1717. Sechser wanted to resolve the dispute with the Spierling by selling him the Rauberweiherhof estate. However, the Secret Council in Munich refused this eventual sale, because the sixer's cousin, Simon Sechser , claimed the right to stand on the Rauberweiherhof in relation to the Spierling and deserved priority as Bartholomew's closest relative. In fact, he was found to be right, with the fear that a sale to Spierling would move this border area to Pfalz-Neuburg from a statement by the electoral rent chamber in Amberg . In 1732 the electoral government stiffened on the decision made in 1717 in favor of Simon Sechsers. Then the problems were largely solved, as both Bartholomäus Sechser († 1721) as well as Simon Sechser and Wilhelm von Spiering had died. However, his son Karl Wilhelm continued to defend his claims . Simon Sechser was, however, already enrolled at Rauberweiherhaus in 1722. He was succeeded by Salomon Joseph Sechser ; this sold Rauberweiherhof around 1731 to Max Philipp von Wildenau . Two years later, the estate came to Karl Sigmund Graf von Aufseß , who on March 28, 1733 resigned from the compulsory state estate. After the Aufseß family, the Murach family followed Rauberweiherhaus in 1765 .

Karl von Murach was able to unite the claims of the numerous Murach heirs in 1792/93, so that on June 10, 1793 he was able to give up the compulsory Landsassenpflicht. On January 31, 1794, Karl von Murach sold the Rauberweiherhaus to Max von Holnstein , who was enrolled here in July of the same year.

In 1809 a second class patrimonial court of Max Graf von Holnstein was designated here. After legal disputes, this was disputed against him in 1830. Theodor Graf von Holnstein renounced his juridical rights on December 16, 1832, but reserved the right to exercise the local police as well as the hunting and forest police. The Rauberweiherhof patrimonial court was extradited to the state on October 26, 1848.

Mill of the Rauberweiherhaus Castle

Rauberweiherhaus building

At the beginning of the 20th century, the former castle was a lonely tavern with a mill by a pond. The ground floor was made of stone, the upper floor of half-timbering. It was covered with a mighty hipped roof . The year "1712" and the letters "BS" (= Bartholomäus Sechser) could be seen on the weather vane.

The building has been demolished and rebuilt in the Upper Palatinate Open Air Museum .
