The Teublitz Castle is a two-storey with plaster strips designed building was constructed with mansard roof in Teublitz in the Upper Palatinate . It was built between 1750 and 1780 by Joseph Carl Wilhelm Teufel von Pirkensee , * May 18, 1711 as the son of Hans Wilhelm Teuffel von Pirkensee and Katharina Elisabeth, née. Hofer zu Lobenstein, who committed suicide on April 16, 1780 in the new castle. There must have been at least one previous building of the castle, the location of which is controversial. Remains of the old castle or a castle complex are suspected both in the ruins in today's city park (former castle park) and on the so-called Schwedenschanze (Regensburger Str. 69).

owner

The aristocratic owners of the castle, the property connected with it and thus until 1848 also Teublitzer court lords were:

  • 1780–1786 Joseph Ernst Wilhelm Teufel von Pirkensee , * 1714; † May 2, 1786 (brother of Joseph Carl Wilhelm Teuffel von Pirkensee)
  • 1786–1795 Karl Philipp Wolfgang Teufel von Birkensee, born January 24, 1722 in Hochdorf; † February 6, 1795, born in Regensburg (brother of the previous one)
  • 1795–1800 Friederike Luise Ernestine Edle von Koch, born August 31, 1757; † October 25, 1800 in Teublitz (niece of the previous one)
  • 1800–1820 Conrad Reinhard Ritter von Koch (husband of the previous one; he was envoy from Oldenburg and Lübeck to the Perpetual Reichstag in Regensburg ; father of Friedrich August Freiherr von Gise )
  • 1820–1824 Maria Anna Bertrand de St. Rémy Countess of La Pérouse (née Countess of Arco-Valley ) (mother-in-law of Friedrich August Freiherr von Gise )
  • 1824–1865 Franziska Freifrau von Gise (born Bertrand de St. Rémy Countess von La Perouse) (daughter of the previous one; wife of Friedrich August Freiherr von Gise )
  • 1865–1890 Maximilian Freiherr von Gise (son of the previous)
  • 1890–1898 August Freiherr von Gise and 1890–1892 Maria Countess von Deym (children of the previous one)
  • 1898–1919 Irma Freifrau von Rolshausen (used Countess von Walderdorff , née Freiin von Gise) (daughter of the previous one)

On June 28, 1919, the property was bought by the farmer Roman Breitsamer and his wife Anna, née Mangold, by auction. In 1958 it came to Herman Geislinger, who had been adopted by Roman Breitsamer as estate manager in 1961. In 1977 the property was taken over by the Heuser social welfare organization and adapted for a new use. It now functions as an outside living group for the social facility of (re) integration assistance at the castle in Burglengenfeld.

The castle included a castle estate with considerable property in forest, meadows, fields and ponds, as well as a large park, which Conrad Reinhard Ritter von Koch had converted into an English landscape garden around 1800 . Among other things, a lake with an island was created, a monopteros was built on an artificial hill and either an existing ruin was remodeled or possibly completely rebuilt . The lake was filled in in the second half of the 20th century and a fountain system was installed in the 1960s.

A gate crowned with two lions leads to the castle; the lions hold the coat of arms of the Teuffel von Pirkensee framed with rococo shells. On one farm building there is an alliance coat of arms of the Sinzenhofer and the Ecker, which points to Hans Sinzendorfer († 1532), who was married to Notburga von Eck. Another stone tablet was transferred from Pirkensee to Teublitz in 1737; it shows the alliance coat of arms of the Sinzenhofer and the Teufel von Pirkensee and refers to Wolf Teufel, keeper of Regenstauf and forester from Burglengenfeld , and his wife Verena von Sizenhofen.

use

From 1945 onwards, the castle housed an agricultural school or a kibbutz to prepare Jewish concentration camp survivors for emigration to Palestine , then an orphanage and later a branch of a textile company (sewing). In 1978 the living spaces were reduced in size. There is currently a social care and therapeutic facility in the castle. The castle is also used for celebrations, advanced training seminars, conferences and for practical and art therapeutic (sport, painting to music) activities.

The park, previously reserved for the castle owners, was opened in the 1930s. Since the fencing of the privately owned part in the 1950s, around half of the previous palace park is still open to the public as what is now known as the city park.
