history

In 1279, Loch in the Monumenta Boica "Urbarium antiquissimum Ducatus Baiuwariae Posterius" is mentioned in writing for the first time under the Latin name Foramine (as a place name) with a farm that is subject to the Lengenvelt maintenance office ; Loch in the secundum officium Aeichenforst is also mentioned in Wittelsbach's Duke Surbar of 1326 . In 1502 the Ensdorf Monastery , which had got into distress due to a fire, sold the Zinse Loch .

On September 11, 1646, Count Palatine Wolfgang Wilhelm von Pfalz-Neuburg raised Loch to a noble seat , giving the Hofmark Loch also lower jurisdiction and the right to practice lower hunting . The owner is Wolfgang Leopold von Neufelden zu Leopoldstein. In 1655 Georg Wilhelm Steinhauser zu Altendorf acquires Gut Rosenhof and Hofmark Loch, in 1681 the children Georg Wolfgang, David and Richard from Georg Wilhelm's first marriage with Benigna Regina von Holz zum Sternstein take over Hofmark. In 1691 Michael Degenmair, electoral maintenance commissioner for Schwandorf and fish master administrator in the lower Nordgau, bought the Hofmark. Hofmark remained in the Degenmair family until 1751. Then Franz Friedrich von Singer from Mossau acquired Rosenhof Castle and Hofmark Loch. As early as 1760 the Hofmark went to Philipp Anton Leopold Freiherr von Oberndorff, treasurer of the Electorate of the Palatinate, secret councilor and landscape commisarius. The Hofmark Wolfsegg , Regendorf Castle and later Heitzenhofen Castle were also owned by the later Counts of Oberndorff . In 1848 the aristocratic patrimonial jurisdiction ended and jurisdiction passed to the Regenstauf Regional Court. The counts of Oberndorff remained the landowners. Of the noble owner families, only the Degenmair lived here and were subsequently buried in the Sankt Jakob church in the nearby Eitlbrunn.

At the beginning of the 1880s, Karl Alexander Ignaz Maria Graf von Oberndorff sold his Upper Palatinate properties to bourgeoisie. In the following period, Gut Rosenhof came into the hands of rapidly changing owners or tenants (named Dorner, Konrad Dostert, Josef Schäffler, Karl and Katharina Anwander, Schmölz and Kompagnon, JV Hügel, Christian Hage, Eleonore Schlör and Theodor Spieß). After the Second World War , Paul Holzky, who came from East Prussia, bought the property with his wife Angelika Ortmann. Gut Rosenhof has been owned by the Ritz-Mürtz family since 2003.

Dorfkapelle Loch (rebuilt in 1966 on the site of the village chapel built in 1870)

Loch was an independent municipality from 1818 to 1945, then it was united with the nearby Eitlbrunn by order of the American occupation forces; On May 1, 1978, Loch was merged with the Regenstauf market due to the Eitlbrunn municipal reform.
