history

The original name Ried goes back to the clearing activities of the Counts von Bogen in the 11th and 12th centuries. The addition Staches refers to Eschlkam's caretaker Wolfgang Stächo (see below). In the second duke's surbar around 1301, Wittelbach possessions in Ried in the court of Eschlkam are documented. The place was pledged to Rudlin Göttlinger in 1309 . In 1383 the tithe previously held by Ulrich der Hohenwarter is sold to Ruger Püntzinger , a citizen of Cham . At that time there was no castle or palace in Ried. The village was destroyed by the Hussite Wars (1420-1425).

On February 3, 1470, Duke Albrecht allowed Jan von Schönprunn to set up ain weyerstat (= moated castle ) ... and ainnern caßten pawen on it . The duke supported the building, but the lord of the castle should serve him with two or three horses and the property should revert to the duke after his death. However, on May 27, 1478, our village, called Ried , was handed over to Thomas Steinhofer and his heirs ... the yetzo öd was given the obligation to build the castle and to serve the captain in front of the forest with two horses. But the Duke complained on November 10, 1482 that Steinhofer had not built anything and threatened to hand over the permission for the construction of the weyerstat to the Ratzko von Rayol , caretaker von Eschlkam. In 1512 Wolfgang Sächo received the property, which has since been called Stachesried, and on November 8, 1519, he gave the duke a lapel about the village of Ried in Eschlkam, which he inherited. This was the first time that he received court rights and built a castle here.

In 1554 the Hofmark passed to the Pelkover , who stayed here until the beginning of the 18th century. Johann Ernst von Pelkoven demolished the old castle in 1666 and began to build the castle that exists today. In 1674 he had also received Blaibach Castle from Sara Genovefa Notthracht . The building of the palace was completed in 1692 under his son Franz Willhelm .

In 1730 Freifrau von der Warth , née Pelkoven , sold Hofmark to Adam Ludwig Freiherrn von Docfort . Next are the purlins that Stachesried received through marriage. In 1785 Stachesried was transferred to the Hafenbrändl on Kaufweg , who also acquired Hohenwarth Castle . In 1801 Stachesried is sold to Karl Albert von Herder , son of Johann Gottfried Herder . In 1816, Prince Friedrich of Saxe-Gotha acquired the Hofmark at a Gant auction . This is followed by the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen-Hildburghausen . In 1820 he established a second class patrimonial court . Stachesried was acquired by the state as early as 1829 and jurisdiction was withdrawn. As a result, the farm buildings are largely demolished.

Stachesried Castle then and now

After an engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the castle was a two-story complex. A church with an onion dome and ox eyes is attached to a mansion with a hipped roof . The castle is still surrounded by a moat; outside of this farm buildings can be seen.

Today's castle is located on the north side of a square that was formerly rebuilt on all sides. It is a two-storey hipped roof building with box oriels on the northwest and southwest corners . The representative entrance side shows a baroque entrance portal with Tuscan pilasters and cranking entablature. The alliance coats of arms integrated on both sides of the keystone are those of the builder Franz Wilhelm von Pelkoven and that of his wife, the year 1692 indicates the completion of the palace. Inside there are still remnants of the former house chapel, although the furnishings have been largely modernized. The building is now used as an inn and butcher's shop.
