Traidendorf Castle

Traidendorf Castle (2015)

The Traidendorf Castle (sometimes also called Hofmarkschloss Traidendorf or Hammerschloss Traidendorf ) is a listed building in the Traidendorf district of the Upper Palatinate market Kallmünz in the Regensburg district of Bavaria (Schloßweg 1).

history

The Hofmark Traidendorf was owned by the Wittelsbach family . The income from the curia (= Meierhof ) was used to pay officials. Around 1270 and 1326 they were intended for the local judge ( sunt iudicis ), then for the castle men ( pro purchuta ). In 1387, Philipp Reich was named as a member of the Amberg-Sulzbach Hammerinnung with the Hammer zu Dreylendorf . In the 15th century Katharina Castner († 1483) married Stefan Haller zu Traidendorf and, after his death, Michael Walrab von Traidendorf and Harlanden. The two marriages produced two sons and three daughters. In 1512 Hans Walrab the Elder of Traidendorf is mentioned as the caretaker at Kallmünz Castle . In 1514 the property is mentioned in the Palatinate-Neuburg country table .

In the 16th century, the Bertelshofen family is mentioned as the owner of Traidendorf. On the south wall of the parish church of St. Michael von Kallmünz, on the right of the entrance portal, there is the tombstone of the elder Joachim von Bertelshofen and on the left the tombstone of Hans Joachim von Bertelshofen, who are identified as the owner of Traidendorf. The inscription around the first grave slab reads: Hie ligt buried the Edl and vest Joachim von Bertelshofen, Fronhof and Treidendorff, princely Palatinate council, also supreme foot captain, so in God fell asleep June 15, 1543. God cares for his souls. The reconstructed inscription on the other tombstone reads: Allhie ligt buried des Edel and vest hanß Joachim von Pertelczhoven zu Traidendroff, so in God fell asleep April 5th in 1563. God care for his souls. The wife of Joachim von Pertolzhofen was an Elisabeth, born von Ammenthal († November 19, 1547). The heir was the son Sebastian Wolf (* 1567, † November 30, 1626), who married Anna Martha Dölzky in 1589.

In 1655, Karl Siegmund von Tänzl von Tratzberg , electoral treasurer, court war councilor, nurse zu Frohnstein and Kastner zu Laaber acquired the Hofmark on the Traidendorf marriage route. This marriage did not start without problems, because when Karl Siegmund von Tänzl wanted to marry the young Maria Salome von Aham auf Schedling und Neuhaus in 1665, she escaped on the wedding day with her bride-to-be, Vogl, an officer, and searched the distance on a Danube ship. In Straubing the fleeing pair was caught, Vogl was shot and the bride fed her Bridegroom in Traidendorf again. In 1668 the Tänzls also came to neighboring Dietldorf through marriage. Friedrich Eberhart Tänzl had the Dietldorf Palace built there by 1706 , and Traidendorf was sold by them in 1733.

The Traidendorfer Hofmarksherren had the right to speculate , i.e. the right to search the subsoil for ores and to mine them. As is well known, the area around Kallmünz is rich in ores, as evidenced by the field names Erzberg between Traidendorf and Rohrdorf or Arzberg at the end of the Krachenhausen valley near Holzheim am Forst . In 1826 the Kallmünz citizen Johann Stengl applied for the opening of an ore mine, which was also approved by the Amberg Mining Authority. The ore mined was widely praised. The right to mutation and prospecting on the Kallmünzer parish corridor was inherited from Eberhard von Tänzl to the following Hofmark owners. Mention should be made of Ernst von Gugl, the barons von Adrian, Josef von Axtham and von Stachelhausen. A barn for cleaning the ore was also built on the area of ​​the Hofmarkschloss.

In 1801, 36 properties and two shepherds' houses in eight localities are named as belonging to the Hofmark, five of them in the castle estate or in the aristocratic seat of Kallmünz.

Glass ribbon and polishing unit from Traidendorf

In 1854 Heinrich Weydelin, businessman and manufacturer from Nuremberg and landowner from Traidendorf, applied for the iron hammer to be converted into a glass ribbon . But as early as 1861, the castle and hammer building were advertised for sale . Then the master grinder Andreas Bojer from Einbuch has the business license. In 1887 all buildings are owned by JW Berlin from Fürth (the foreman of the glass loop was G. Ferschl at that time). In 1892, JW Berlin applied for the relocation and the new construction of the waterway, in 1906 he submitted a plan to convert the waterwheel (three wheels on the left and three on the right side of the Vils). In 1911, Otto Berlin succeeded him. In 1938 Otto Weig acquired the grinding and polishing plant from Regensburg. Today the company buildings belong to Adolf Weig. In 1936, the Glasrleife had 260 polishing blocks, around 20 workers were employed, and ten women came to mend the defects in the glass with emery. Production was stopped in 1938. The loop was equipped with turbines and is still used to produce electricity today.

Usage today

The dilapidated castle was acquired and renovated by Sonia Chaves at the end of the 20th century. After that the castle was used as a conference venue. After another sale in 2018, the castle became the property and home of Lebensraum eG. People of different ages live and live there in self-chosen neighborhoods.
