history

In the Duke's arable land of 1238 and 1326, Sinnleithen is listed as having two farms that are subject to compulsory payment and that belong to the Vogtei Vilseck . In 1396 Friedrich Steinlinger zu Steinling received the village of Sinnleithen as a fief from Elector Ruprecht II . Since that time, the Sinnleithen seat with part of the village was a fiefdom of the Electoral Palatinate . The rest was partly Bamberg or Eichstätter fiefs. Sinnleithen is also mentioned in the court register of the district judge Sulzbach from 1514, but this was lost to the district judge in the 16th century.

In 1518 two letters of fief were issued, one for Jörg Steinlinger and one for Hernant Steinlinger; The latter also received Jörg's share in 1525 after he died without an heir. On January 13, 1562, Wolf Steinlinger was given the fiefdom of half the seat and a quarter of the village of Sinnleithen ( Sundleutten ), and an opening right was agreed for the Electoral Palatinate . In 1571, shortly before his death, his father Hermann Steinlinger handed over the Sinnleithen estate to his son Wolf, but he did not specify the affiliations, which is why the Steinlinger brothers were in dispute for many years. After the death of his brother Wilhelm, who left only one daughter, all of Sinnleithen fell to Wolf Steinlinger. Wolf Steinlinger was charged with adultery with his sister-in-law while his brother was still alive, sentenced to death and executed with the sword on January 22, 1585 on the market square in Amberg . From 1638 after the violent death of Hans Burkhart Steinlinger, the entire Hofmark passed to his brother Hans Bartlmer Steinlinger. From this time on, the Hofmark remained undivided. The Steinlingers owned Sinnleithen until 1680.

In 1710 Ferdinand Franz Freiherr von Weix auf Falkenberg was the owner; he is followed by Barbara Elisabeth von Steinling, b. Freudenberg , after. In 1715 government councilor Franz von Mayr and then his heirs are mentioned as the owners. In 1764 Baron Lochner followed from and to Hüttenbach; his coat of arms can be seen above the west portal of the palace church of Sinnleithen. In 1780 the hammer master Baptist Hausmann followed to scrap. From 1768 the court chamber secretary Anton Weinberger, who had married a daughter of the househusband and was co-owner of Sinnleithen, exercised the lower jurisdiction . In 1908 the innkeeper Johann Winter is mentioned in the castle of Sinnleithen; in its time the castle was used as an inn. His descendants are still the owners of the property today.

In 1830 the community of Sinnleithen with Gaßenhof was incorporated into the community of Steinling and on January 1, 1972 Steinling was incorporated into Edelsfeld.

Construction

The still preserved castle building is a three-storey, plastered solid construction with a high pitched roof from the 16th century. Above the right window on the first floor you can find the year 1722 , which indicates a renovation at that time. The year 1873 , which goes back to renovation work, can be seen above a window on the 2nd floor .

As late as 1727, a description of the Hofmark said: “And is the castle surrounded by a wall, then provided with a ditch around it.” Today nothing can be seen of this above ground , but according to the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation, there are archaeological sites in the area of ​​the former Hofmarkschloss Sinnleithen Findings from the Middle Ages and early modern times have been secured, based on which one can assume that a late medieval castle previously stood here.
