history

At this place Taufkircher can be traced as miles (= knights). Around 1300 a dominus Peter von Taufkirchen is mentioned, in 1349 the brothers Matheus, Philipp and Peter . In 1359 a knight Zareis and the Fraunberger von dem Hag are named as Swäger of Peter and Matheus . Arnulf Fraunberger zu Taufkirchen an der Mertsee is documented in 1378 . In 1435 Ott Rüther (Reither, Reuther) is listed as a ducal fiefdom holder of the court and tavern in Taufkirchen. He was followed in 1435 by his son Hans. This Hanns Ruether has been assigned several times as a judge at the Rott. After that, the Lengfelder will be based here. Oswald Lengfelder is mentioned in 1446 as the cousin of Hanns Ruther zu Taufkirchen, and in 1474 again as Oswold Lengfelder, the cousin of Andre Rüether. The validity from the seat and court in Taufkirchen came from Hanns Ruether to the siblings Hanns and Barbara Zeller (married Ochsenberger) or to the daughter of Barbara Elspet (married Reyker). Also in 1482 the transition from the Lengfeldern to the Hanns Mülbanger , stepfather of Hanns Zeller zu Zell in the court of Schärding, took place through the inheritance . In 1504 he was registered at Taufkirchen.

According to this, there are two groups of heirs: from 1510 the first consists of Georg Prunhuber, Wolfgang and Margarete Gäblkofen and Florian Zärtl. The second occurs around 1542 and includes Christoph Zertl and Christoph Zeller. The Zeller's sister married into the Hohenecker family, the Zeller's daughter into the Retschan family. In 1583 half of Taufkirchen belonged to Christoph Abraham Retschan and half to the Hoheneckern. Valentin Hohenecker owned the property to his sister Susanna, who married Tattenbach zu Hausbach, Falkenberg and Rudolfing . Gottfried von Tattenbach married Sara Sophie von Hohenegg around 1613; a woman from Hohenecker married into the von Pienzenau family in 1614 . In 1615 Hanns Friedrich von Pienzenau and Gotthard Tattenbach can be found here. In 1625 a Johann Staudinger von Türkenfeld zu Hekkershofen is still enrolled (probably as a further heir). In 1635 the property passed from the Lords of Tattenbach to Johann Gottfried Freiherr von Tattenbach zu Eberschwang on Kaufweg . On October 3, 1821, the last of the Tattenbach family, Heinrich Graf von Rheinstein-Tattenbach, died, and Taufkirchen came into the possession of Count Arco -Valley zu Aurolzmünster by inheritance . The court brands Falkenberg, Hofau, Kirchberg, Sallach, Taufkirchen and the seat of Griesberg in the patrimonial court of Sallach were grouped under the Count Arco . Taufkirchen belonged to the Eggenfelden court. In 1818 Taufkirchen was an independent municipality of the regional court.

Several von Tattenbach knights are buried in metal coffins in the crypt of the parish church of St. Laurentius von Falkenberg.

Taufkirchen Castle then and now

After the engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, Taufkirchen Castle was an unadorned, two-story building covered with a gable roof. The long side had about ten, the narrow side five window axes. Some farm buildings are grouped around the castle in a rectangle. Not far from there is the parish church of the Assumption of Mary.

The Taufkirchen Castle was then merged into the rectory of the Church of the Assumption of Mary from Falkenberg. This is still a two-storey solid building with a gable roof , the core of which dates from around 1720.
