Siegritz Castle
The lost Siegritz Castle (formerly known as a genetic place name with Sigharts ) was located in the Siegritz district of the same name in the Upper Palatinate town of Erbendorf in the Tirschenreuth district (Siegritz No. 1 and 2).
history
The Siegritz moated castle was probably founded in the 12th century by servants of the Counts of Sulzbach . In 1362 it is mentioned in the possession of the Pfreimder . In 1396 Heinrich II. Pfreimder zum Siegharts is mentioned in the Leuchtenberg fief book . It says: Idem the dorff zum Sighartz and the sycz there . In addition to the moated castle, a second complex, the Siegritz tower castle , is also mentioned. According to the Salbuch of 1637 by Johann Peter Weickmann , the Deimer were the predecessors of the Pfreimder . At the end of the 15th century, Georg von Trautenberg owned the castle. In 1485, Eberhard von Streitberg zu Sigharts is mentioned in the Bavarian country table of Duke George the Rich . In 1498 the castle passed to the son Jörg des Eberhard. In 1518 he was named in the Palatinate Landsassenregister as Mr. Jorgig von Streitperg, Ritter zum Sigharts . After his death († 1523) he was followed by his underage sons Adam and Fritz under guardianship. In 1535 Adam von Streitberg received Siegritz with all affiliations due to an inheritance. In 1541 he also bought Grötschenreuth and Frauenberg . After his death († 1556) his son Jörg inherits the property, but dies in 1557. After his death, a dispute breaks out between the six sisters of Jörg on the one hand and the Landgrave von Leuchtenberg or the Leuchtenberg administrator Adam Perg and his son-in-law Jörg from Thein on the other side. In 1575 the residence was sold to the daughters of Adam von Streitberg . They sell the property in 1578 to Christoph von Rotschütz , a margrave of Brandenburg bailiff zu Hohnberg. He was followed by Hans Samson von Hirschberg on the exchange route in 1580 . After his death († 1593), the property was placed under compulsory administration because of the high debt burden on it, or viewed as a failed fiefdom of the Leuchtenbergers. In 1594, the Erbendorfer judge Quirin Podenmayr becomes the administrator here and after him on June 21, 1599 the citizen of Leuchtenberg Andreas Katzner .
In 1605 Siegritz is sold to Hans Georg Steinhauser as an allodial property . In the Thirty Years' War Siegritz was plundered in 1632 and also in 1642 (by the troops of Johann von Spork ), and again in 1643 by imperial troops under the Welsh Count Ventelor. In 1638, through the only daughter Margareta Salome († 1654), it came to Hans Georg's son-in-law , namely Johann Paul Weickmann († 1689). In 1690 Johann Christoph Weickmann takes over the inheritance from his father. 1712 followed Eva Susanna von Weickmann as the owner of Siegritz, for whom her cousin Johann Karl von Schaumberg (a grandson of Johann Paul von Weickmann ) gave up the compulsory Landsassassen on April 20, 1712.
This was followed by Johann Karl von Schaumberg in 1716 , Johann Christopf Wilhelm von Sauerzapf in 1719 and Johann Rudolf von Schepper in 1727 . He had the castle rebuilt on the foundations of the old castle. From 1789 to 1865 it went to Georg Michael von Ibscher and until 1869 to his successor, then to Philipp Freiherr von Künsberg or his brother Franz von Künsberg as administrator. Then Siegritz came into middle-class hands and the Siegritz manor was “smashed”.
Siegritz moated castle then and now
According to early illustrations, Siegritz was around 1594 a two-story building with another half-timbered floor surrounded by a moat. According to the representation by Christoph Vogel around 1600, there was also a two-story building with a gable roof . The property was protected by a wall with a gate and a gate tower. In the forecourt there is a stable for cattle and a horse stable.
In 1729 the main building was demolished and the new castle built by Johann Rudolf von Schepper in its place . However, in 1875 this was so dilapidated that its owner at the time, the farmer Johann Schmalzreich , had the interior torn out and everything useful sold. In the end, a roofless ruin remained, from which the western wall collapsed in January 1920. In 1975 the remainder of an approximately 4 m wide ring trench still existed here , in 1998 there was also a horseshoe-shaped rampart open to the west with a height of 2.5 m. A stump of the wall was also visible. In the meantime, the plant has been completely leveled by agricultural interventions.
Survived the bailey with the contending bergischen new building of the 16th century and a hipped roof covered former horse stable, which dates back to the 1794th These parts are listed .
