The Sallach Castle is located in the town district of Geiselhoring in the Lower Bavarian district of Straubing-Bogen of Bavaria (Sallach, house no. 53a).

history

The medieval history of Sallach begins with a donation from King Heinrich II to the Obermünster monastery of Regensburg, a document dated April 17, 1010 says: "... curtem nomine Salaht in comitatu Ruotperti comitis in pago Duonochgovve ..." . The seat in Sallach was therefore a fiefdom of the Obermünster monastery. In 1216 a Conrad von Salat, called Püllar , a ministerial of the monastery, appears as a witness in a document from the monastery of Obermünster and the Schottenkloster in Regensburg. He was Salmann when Juta von Salach handed over her mill in Gallhofen to the Obermünster Abbey. In 1222 Konrad Püllar married Mechthild, daughter Bertha of the Bavarian Duke Ludwig der Kelheimer . His son of the same name owns the Harthof zu Sallach in 1272, but in 1287 he has to give up his possessions in the place, whereupon the abbess Reizke (Ryssa I. von Leuchtenberg, 1286-1292) gives the seat to Berthold Mengkofer on November 12, 1287. This loan only included Konrad Püllar's legitimate property and not those that the abbess believed he had wrongly appropriated. In addition, they forbade Menkofer to run a brewery, a tavern or a market, as this could financially damage the Hofmark zu Sallach (= Propstei Sallach) of the monastery. Konrad Mengkofer, who was appointed in 1287, is also called judex et officialis in 1326 ; Before 1287 he was enfeoffed by the monastery of Sankt Emmeram with the castle Hainsbach , in 1326 he still received the episcopal castle Eitting as a fief. Although the Obermünster monastery made efforts to reunite the seat and the provost's office in Sallach, this was not possible at the time. In 1349 there was an Ulrich Menkofer on Sallach, who in 1356 even became provost of Sallach. In 1366, the elder Mengkofer von Sallach appears in a document from Haidau Hans. A Berchtold of this family stayed on Sallach until his death († 1371).

In 1372 the abbess Agnes I von Wunebach gives Conrad the Hauzendorfer the Sallach fief. This was a cousin of Berchtold Mengkofer. On October 15, 1408, a Hanns Hainsbeck zu Sallach is mentioned. The Hainsbeck, Herren zu Hainsbach, were also related to the Mengkofers, they stayed on Sallach until around 1500. Tested are: Hanss Hainspeck zu Sallach (1408, 1425), Kaspar Hainsbeck on the back seat and Ulrich Hainsbeck on the front seat in Sallach (1454), Peter Hanspeck zu Sallach (1471), Ulrich and Peter Hainspeckh (1474), sat in Solach , Peter Hainspeckh zu Sallach (1480, 1494). In the country table from 1470, Hans and Stefan are listed separately from Peter Hainsbeck on Sallach, which speaks for the existence of two seats (probably from 1454) in Sallach. After the Hainsbeck, the seat becomes the property of Peter Vorpahn and Hans des Hanssers. The Kärgl on Sallach appear from 1506 to 1560, to be mentioned are: Georg Khärgl (1506), Wolfgang Khärgl (1510–1542), heirs of Wolfgang Khärgl (1542 – approx. 1560). In 1575 the people of Taufkirchen lived here; they succeed in reuniting the two seats in Sallach in 1617. On January 27, 1617, Wilhelm Weilhammer zu Moosthann, canon of the Regensburg bishopric , and his brother Oswald appear before the imperial notary Jacob Vogl, as they have bought the Hofmark from Casimir von Taufkirchen but have not yet paid the purchase price. Nevertheless, Wilhelm Weilhammer is listed as the owner in the land table 1617. However, the sale does not seem to have become legally binding, because in 1628 the people of Taufkirchen exchanged the Hofmark Sallach for the Heyls, Lords of Moosham and Lindthump. These remain here as owners until 1724: Wolf Ortolph Hayll zu Sallach (1631), a cousin of Wilhelm Weilhaimer, Wolf Hayll (1636, 1641), Hann Wolf Haill (1677), Wolfgang Christian Hayl (until 1686), Anna Benigna Hayl ( 1686-1724). In 1715, the Hayls' heir daughter married the baron Franz Ludwig von Wolfswiesen, to whom Sallach passed after the death of his wife († 1724).

The last male member of this family is Franz Ludwig von Wolfswiesen († 1742). After that, the seat is in the hands of Maria Anna Magdalena, Freyfrau von Wolfswiesen. Her successor in 1760 was the provost judge of Sallach, Johann Andreas Stich. His sons-in-law Johann Georg Öttl and Anton Widmann succeed him. The Öttls family managed the Sallach headquarters until 1822. In 1812 Sallach was part of the Laberweinting crown major . On November 30, 1812, Georg Öttl asked for the allodification of the Sallach seat, which he owned by his wife. On May 24, 1813, Minister Maximilian Joseph Graf von Montgelas bought the Hofmark. On October 1, 1832, Prince Maximilian Karl von Thurn und Taxis took over the Montgelas estates in the Regenkreis, including Sallach. In 1833 the castle became the seat of the Laberweinting Patrimonial Court and in 1842 Sallach appears as part of the First Class Patrimonial Court of Laberweinting. After that, the castle became the seat of the foresters for the princely forests near Hadersbach .

Around 1870 attempts were made to acquire the castle as a schoolhouse for Sallach. On September 19, 1871, Matthias Huber purchased the palace building as a residential building for his court. The castle and farm building have been owned by the Weinzierl family since 1930 (Fritz Weinzierl was the first to acquire the property), in 1945 the castle was taken over by Alfons Weinzierl, who handed it over to Richard and Gabriele Weinzierl in 1985. The castle is still owned by the Weinzierl family today.

Sallach Castle then and now

The castle was rebuilt in 1595 by the people of Taufkirchen using older parts. The castle was secured by moats until 1709, but these have been lost. After the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the castle was a three-story building with a stepped gable and a saddle roof . This was followed by an outbuilding at a right angle, also with a stepped gable. The latter building is protected by a wall. Immediately next to the castle is the church of Sallach with a tower that was then covered by a tent roof and a detached apse (today an onion dome ).

Today the freestanding main building of the former ensemble has been preserved. This still looks like the mentioned Wenings engraving. The outbuildings are gone, but agricultural buildings are in the immediate vicinity. A Gothic vaulted room has been preserved in the north-western corner. The two corresponding bay windows probably had a greater height until the Thirty Years War and probably domes or conical roofs as a conclusion, now they still extend under the roof. After the first renovation work in the 1950s and 1970s, Richard and Gabriele Weinzierl completely restored the castle in 2012/13 from the point of view of monument preservation . In 2015, the owners received the Medal of the Free State of Bavaria for the exemplary renovation of the monument.
