Steinling Castle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Steinling Castle is a abgegangenes Castle in the district Steinling the Bohemian community Edelsfeld in Amberg-Sulzbach of Bavaria .

history

This has been the ancestral home of the von Steinling family since the 14th century . The Steinlingers also had properties in Sinnleithen and Boden . The estate in Steinling was a fiefdom of the Bamberg monastery . In 1422 the brothers Erhard and Heinrich Steinlinger issued the Bamberg bishop a fiefdom cover for Steinling. Since 1450, the Steinlingers have been listed as Landsassen in the Landtafeln of the District Judge's Office in Sulzbach; Steinling is mentioned as Hofmark in 1540 .

A dispute arose after 1571 about the property in Steinling and Sinnleithen because the father Hermann Steinlinger had assigned the Steinling estate to his son Wilhelm and the Sinnleithen estate to his son Wolf, but had not specified the respective lands. In addition, the goods were located in the Sulzbach area , but the Palatinate government in Amberg also made a claim. The dispute was not ended until 1790 when the Bavarian government struck both Sulzbach estates.

Wolf Steinlinger was accused in 1580 on the order of Count Palatine Johann Kasimir "for incest with his still living brother Heinrich Eheweib" and of inciting spouse murder. He was captured by the Ambergers, locked up in the "Fuchssteinerturm" and - after he had been under torture - executed with the sword on January 22nd, 1585 on the market square in Amberg .

According to a register of the District Judge's Office Sulzbach from 1790, a castle and 12 properties are specified in the Hofmark Steinling. During the coalition wars , on August 17, 1796, the village and Steinling Castle and Großalbershof were captured and destroyed by French troops. In 1809 Wilhelm Freiherr von Steinling was named as owner of the Patrimonial Court Boden und Steinling, on April 6, 1819 jurisdiction was withdrawn from the Ministry of the Interior in Munich, as Wilhelm Steinling's membership of the nobility was questioned.

According to the list of provisional communities, Steinling is named in 1818 (also 1820/21) as a community in the Sulzbach district judge. In 1830 the community of Sinnleithen with Gaßenhof was affiliated to Steinling and on January 1, 1972, incorporated into Edelsfeld.

Construction

In 1807 the castle was demolished; in its place there is now an inn. A coat of arms (yellow lion on a red background and black rooster on a yellow background) and the year 1605 remind of the Steinlingers on the front.
