Trevesenhammer Castle

The former Trevesenhammer Castle is located in the Trevesenhammer district of the Upper Palatinate municipality of Pullenreuth in the Tirschenreuth district of Bavaria (Trevesenhammer 1). As the name suggests, the castle in Trevesenhammer was a hammer lock , the iron hammer being driven by the water of the Fichtelnaab .

history

The village of Trevesen was transferred to the Waldsassen monastery by Landgraves Gebhard and Heinrich von Leuchtenberg in 1279 . In 1282, the landgraves renounced their property rights in the villages of Drebhesin and Bingarten in favor of the monastery. In 1353 the Trevesen monastery sold to the Upper Palatinate . At the end of the 14th century there was talk of a "feud at Drevessent", and in 1596 and 1630 of "Drefeßen".

A Landsasserei in Trevesen did not emerge until 1720, when the hammer, which had existed since the 14th century, together with the Zislarshaus and other affiliations, was converted into a rural estate. The Zislarhaus or the Zißlhof was sold at the beginning of the 17th century, but was still mentioned as a pertinence (ancillary property) by Trevesen. It was not until 1970 that the place name was revoked because the site was uninhabited for a long time; a ruin with four towering walls is still preserved on the site. In 1718, Michael Anton von Ponzelin, the electoral councilor of Amberg rent chamber , submitted the application to "bring his former hammergütl Trevesen back into the previously acclaimed freedom". On the Hammergut was the right to punish the blacksmith people with stick and iron, it was from crowd work free, Hofsteuer and other conditions and had not to get writing magisterial administrative procedures, notification, an official servant the right. Because of his special merits, in April 1720 he and his father-in-law Melchior Knab were granted hereditary freedom of the landed people “according to the custom of our principality of the Upper Palatinate”. Georg Joseph von Ponzelin, who was registered there in 1740, followed the first two Landsassen. According to a description from 1762, there was a manorial castle with a tenant resident , a grinding mill, a large and a small blacksmith's house and the Zistlerhof. In 1785 Michael von Thoma was the owner; he was also mentioned there in 1806, in the normal year for the proof of the manorial jurisdiction. In 1792 the iron hammer was described as "completely depressed". In 1811 the estate passed to Friedrich von Sperl. The lower jurisdiction was declared dormant for the allode manor.

The Trevesenhammer belonged to the Waldeck-Kemnath office. Trevesen, only one kilometer away, was a municipality that was incorporated into Neuköslarn in 1946 and Pullenreuth in 1972.

Trevesenhammer Castle today

The castle is a simple classical building that was built after 1800. The former castle building is three-storey and has two side wings on the street side, each protruding around a window axis. At the rear there are two round towers with attached onion hoods . Above the entrance is the coat of arms of the hammer master family Sperl with the year 1827.

In the 1990s, the castle was converted into a luxury hotel. The then investor was convicted in a fraud process.
