Thumsenreuth (Bavarian: Dumsarad) is a district of the municipality of Krummennaab in the Tirschenreuth district , on State Road 2121 between Friedenfels and Krummennaab.

history

In 1259 the place was mentioned for the first time with a "Marchwardus de Domsenreut" mentioned as a witness. Originally owned by the Wolff von Weißenstein (then Wolff von Thumsenreuth) and families related to them, Thumsenreuth came into the hands of the Notthracht von Weißenstein in the first half of the 15th century . In the 15th and especially in the 16th century, when Weißenstein Castle began to fall into disrepair, Thumsenreuth was probably the most popular seat of the Notthracht in the Steinwald area . In 1596 Christoph II. Notthracht von Weißenstein was forced to sell his Thumsenreuth property to Hans Georg Schlaher because of his heavy debts. In 1661 Thumsenreuth came into the possession of the von Lindenfels family , who still own the castle today.

On July 1, 1972, Thumsenreuth was incorporated into the municipality of Krummennaab.

Attractions

In the third quarter of the 16th century, Thumsenreuth Castle already had a similar shape as it is today. This is proven by a miniature view on a card from this time that is kept in the State Archives in Amberg. Christoph Notthracht, who came into possession of Thumsenreuth in 1586, had the palace renovated and decorated with a bay window that same year. He bears his family coat of arms as well as the coats of arms of his two wives Dorothea von Biberern and Martha von Seckendorff . Thumsenreuth Castle has been in the hands of the von Lindenfels family since 1661, and they had it restored in an exemplary manner between 1992 and 1994. Today the castle is privately owned.

The Protestant parish church of St. Giles played an important role in the Middle Ages as the mother parish of the southern Steinwald foreland. In 1431 Wolfart Wolf von Thumsenreuth sold the church loan through the church in Thumsenreuth to the Notthracht von Weißenstein; Until the 19th century, this family's hereditary burial was here. In 1497, Hans IV. Notthracht founded an early mass in the church. His son Hans V introduced the Reformation and had the first Protestant service held in Thumsenreuth in 1547.

Since 1421 Thumsenreuth belonged to the community office Weiden-Parkstein . After the Electoral Palatinate part of the community office fell to the Catholic Duke of Pfalz-Neuburg in the Thirty Years War, the Protestants living under the protection of the Lutheran Duke von Sulzbach were confronted with the Counter Reformation . On February 22nd, 1652 a compromise was reached between Duke Christian August von Sulzbach and the Hereditary Prince Philipp Wilhelm von Neuburg through the so-called Cologne settlement . The so-called Simultaneum was introduced. The Catholics were granted the same rights as the Evangelicals, as well as the semi-divisional enjoyment of all parish and church property and the church and school buildings. This state of simultaneum persisted until the early 1930s. So it is not surprising that many Catholic churches were built in the southern Steinwaldgau at this time; the old church buildings usually remained Protestant.

The church got its present appearance through changes in the 17th and 18th centuries. The pulpit and altar are works by the sculptor Johann Michael Doser and were created in 1718 and 1725 respectively. The tombstone of Martha Notthracht, born in 1589, is also worth mentioning. von Seckendorff, on which a relief representation of the Thumsenreuth Castle can be seen.

The Catholic Church was built in 1935. It houses one of the most beautiful acanthus altars in the Upper Palatinate. The altar from the secular church of St. Veit in Erbendorf contains a figure of St. Vitus from around 1500 in the central niche of its monstrance-shaped structure. This is surrounded by the busts of the remaining fourteen emergency helpers . With this masterpiece created around 1750 by the Erbendorf artist Sigmund Windisch and composed by Paul Fichtacher, the tradition of acanthus altars in the northern Upper Palatinate came to a crowning end.
