history

Historically include the castle Old Thanstein , the castle Thanstein and Than flintlock as seats of Hofmark Thanstein (also Tannstein or Tanstein called) closely. The ancestral seat of the Thannsteiners was Altenthanstein Castle, which was built by them in the 13th century, and in the 14th century the seat was moved to Thannstein Castle. This was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War in 1633 , but then made habitable again. After a fire in the "Old Castle", i. H. Thannstein Castle, in 1811 the Thanstein Castle at the foot of the castle hill was the new building as the administrative seat of the Hofmark.

History of Hofmark Thanstein

A Uto von Thanninstein appears in 1218 as a witness to an exchange of goods between Count Heinrich I von Ortenburg and the Waldsassen monastery , at that time the Ortenburger exchanged his estate Tursinruth for Sewarn . When Count Heinrich von Ortenburg transferred the patronage right over the church Schwarzhofen to the Holy Cross Monastery in Regensburg in 1237 , a Reimpoto de Tannestein appeared as a witness who was an Ortenburg ministerial . In 1261 Rimboto Tanstein appeared as a witness in various donations in favor of the Schönthal monastery . 1266 passed the Counts Gebhard and Diepold of Ortenburg - Murach the monastery Schwarzhofen two farms in Willebaldestorf , with one of them was Otto de Berchtoldeshoven and the other the nobiles Heinricus and Antonius de Tanner Stone invested. On April 25, 1298, Hermanus de Tannstein gave his tithe in Satzenhofen to Schönthal Abbey . A Hermanus de Danstein is mentioned in 1305 as a witness at the end of a controversy between Ruger de Warperch and the Schönthal monastery because of various possessions in Potenruit . In 1329 a dominus Herman von Tanstein, as a feudal lord, seals a sales document from the Jeut Püchlerinn to the same monastery.

Various co-owners of Thanstein can be found in the 14th century. In 1308, the dukes Rudolf and Ludwig the Sneberger von Tannstein pledged their farm in Seebarn . On July 31, 1317 Gottfried von Satzenhofen and his son Dittrich issued a certificate in Tannstein. On the same day Heinrich and Albrecht von Murach also give their certificates here . In 1323 Friedrich der Egeloffreut hands over his estate at Egelolfreut to Schönthal Abbey , and this was attested by Albrecht der Muracher von dem Tanstein . Albrecht von Murach took the side of King Ludwig in 1321 .

From 1344 to 1353 Otto V. Zenger is recorded on Thanstein. In 1361 Chunrad der Grinawr was named after Thanstein. From 1368 to 1398 Otto Zenger's son Hans Zenger is documented as the owner of Thanstein. Descendants of Georg and Jobst Zengers , registered with Thanstein in 1419, lived on Thanstein until the middle of the 16th century. In 1544 a Georg von Ebleben appears here , who had married Otto Zener's daughter Margaretha . This was also Hofmarksherr zu Teunz . The tombstone of Jörg von Ebleben in the village church is interesting . The sons of Eblebens, Hanns and Otto , shared their inheritance in such a way that Otto stayed on Thanstein. His heir was his son Georg Wilhelm von Ebleben († 1625). His nephew Friedrich Wilhelm von Ebleben rejected the conversion policy of Elector Maximilian I and joined the Swedish King Gustav Adolf . As a result he lost Thanstein in 1629 and the elector enfeoffed Count Christian Joachim of the election ; as a result, Thanstein temporarily lost its alodial quality.

The castle Thanstein and the surrounding villages were in the Thirty Years' War devastated, but later rebuilt (Than stone is used as received , paufellig , öedt and burned described). According to the provisions of the Peace of Westphalia in 1654, the heirs of Eblebens, namely Dorothea Maria von Wildenstein and Hans Veit von Würzburg , were reinstated here. On November 4, 1670, the children of Veit resigned from the compulsory Landsassen and Thanstein became an allod again. 1672 is here Philip Gaston Wolf of Wolfsthal , the brother of Johann Vitus of Wurzburg , proved to 1717 († year of death). He was followed by his daughter Maria Franziska Freifrau von Imhof , who at first only owned a third of Thanstein, but in 1719 paid off the other heirs. On April 5, 1721, she laid the compulsory Landsassen for Thannstein and Pillmersried († 1747). She made her daughter, who was married to Karl von Widmann , a universal heiress, but bequeathed a considerable legacy to her granddaughter Maria Ursula , daughter of Felix Stanislaus von Imhof , for which Pillmersried and other estates had to be transferred to her. Karl von Widmann , court chief judge in Munich, was matriculated with Thannstein from 1760 to 1777 († May 13, 1780). In the autumn of the same year, the heirs Johann Nepomuk Joseph , Thaddäus and Franziska von Widmann applied for joint ownership of Thannstein and Pillmersried; later, however, Johann Nepomuk Joseph von Widmann seems to have united the demands of his siblings, because on January 20, 1785 he alone sold the two country estates to Count Max von Holnstein . This applied for a Fideikommiss for his two estates, which was approved and on July 7th 1785 Carolina Josepha , the wife of Max von Hollnstein, was immitted here. Thanstein was owned by the Holnstein family until the beginning of the 19th century.

End of the Thannstein Hofmark and formation of the Thanstein community

In 1808 Thannstein is a 2nd class patrimonial court and its owner is Max Graf von Holnstein. On December 16, 1838, after a lengthy legal battle, Theodor von Holnstein renounced the patrimonial jurisdiction of Thanstein. On November 25, 1848, jurisdiction was given to the state. In 1857 Count Maximilian Karl Theodor von Holnstein inherited the local property.

In 1946 the previously independent municipalities Berg, Haindlhof, Kundlmühle, Tännersried, Thannmühle and Weihermühle were incorporated into the municipality of Thanstein, followed by Dautersdorf in 1972 and Kulz in 1978.

Thanstein Castle today

Thanstein Castle seen from the Kirchweg

The building , which was used at times as a forester's house, has a half- hipped roof , the core of which dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. These include the coach house and storage building with the rock cellars of the former castle brewery from around 1820, as well as the former Schlossstadel (Dorfplatz 8), a granite stone building with a hipped roof from around 1900. To the side of this is a gate wall with an entrance to the castle.

The epitaphs of Margareta von Ebeleben and other family members are in the church of Thannstein . On the side of Margareta von Ebeleben († February 4, 1639) are the coats of arms of her four grandparents, Georg von Ebeleben († December 5, 1544) with the silver-red shield and his wife Margareta Zenger, married in 1530, on Thanstein († September 1, 1565) with the talking pliers coat of arms (divided by black and gold, on top a transverse silver pliers), furthermore a grandfather from the von Redwitz family (seven times blue-silver divided and covered with a red, diagonal wavy bar) and his wife of the von Lichtenstein family (squared of red and silver in a serrated shape).
