The Triebenbach Castle (formerly Trübenbach or Trübinbach is called) a former moated castle south of running and east of the B 20 in Berchtesgaden county land in Bavaria (Triebenbach 31).

history

A pond house standing at this point is mentioned as early as 980 in a land register of the St. Peter monastery . Before 1100 the property belonged to the manorial rule of the Salzburg bishopric ministerial von Steinbrünning. Pilgrimo de Trubinbach and his brother Tagino from the Steinbrünnings family donated their property in Trübenbach to the St. Peter monastery in Salzburg around 1150. This was subsequently passed on as a fiefdom . So in 1298 the Salzburg Vitztum Konrad von Kuchl was enfeoffed with it. His sons Hartneid and Konrad exchanged the Pabenlehen and their farm in Teisendorf for Triebenbach in 1344 , which subsequently became free property of the von Kuchl family .

Hartneid der Kuchler was able to obtain the enfeoffment with the Vogtei over Triebenbach from Archbishop Ortolf and in 1355 received permission from him to build a Vesst on his property in Triebenbach . This was probably the beginning of Triebenbach Castle. Hartneid von Kuchl, a son of the same name or possibly a grandson of Hartneids named in 1355 - sold the property to his brother-in-law Wolfhart von Albm in 1390 . In 1561 this family went out with Eustachius von der Albm, which since 1408 also held the office of hereditary office of the archbishopric of Salzburg. As a result, the Hofmark Triebenbach came to Christoph von Kammer, the son of Eustachius' sister Margarethe. He also died without descendants, but previously sold the estate to Hans David and Wilhelm von Nussdorf in 1576. After the death of Hans David († 1586), a carer in Raschenberg since 1577 , Triebenbach was bought in 1586 by Hans Heinrich Notthracht von Wernberg . Under this, major changes were made to the castle; he decorated the portal to the main building with his coat of arms and the coat of arms of his wife, Amalie von Wispeck . After his death in 1608, his children Burghard and Anna inherited the castle. Alphons von Lamberg followed the Notthrachts in 1623 , presumably by inheritance, because he had the above Maria Anna, daughter of Georg Stephan, as his wife in need . Then, according to the contract of August 19, 1707, it was bought by Georg Ulrich von Schidenhofen zu Stumm , whose descendants owned it until 1824. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the whole Mozart family were often guests in Triebenbach with his childhood friend, the landscape chancellor Joachim Ferdinand von Schidenhofen. Joachim Ferdinand von Schidenhofen's eldest daughter Anna von Lenker sold the property to the farmer Andreas Huber in 1824. In 1994 Triebenbach Castle was acquired by Countess Marion and Count Rudolf Logothetti. The former is a descendant of Joachim Ferdinand von Schidenhofen.

The four corner towers of the circular wall , which had been provided with a double battlement, were demolished in 1824. The previously existing square pond in which the facility stood has now dried up. The former drawbridge was also removed in the 19th century.

The three-storey main building is covered with a hipped roof. The substructure consists of tuff blocks and from the fourth floor on from plastered bricks (since the end of the 16th century). The double portal towards the inner courtyard has two arched gates, which are enclosed by frame pilasters and crowned by two triangular gables. In the gable panels are the coats of arms of Hans Heinrich von Nothaft and his wife Amalia Wisbeck.

The ground floor of the great hall with vaulted ceilings vaulted. A staircase with red marble steps leads to the first floor. The east of the north facing rooms is connected to the castle chapel by a narrow door. On the third floor there is a hall with a beamed ceiling and wall paintings from the 16th century. The residential wing is connected to a medieval tower by an intermediate wing with an open gallery and a turret , which is covered with a tent roof and has a lantern with an onion hood. The tower has five floors that are set up as rooms. From the second floor of the tower there is a door to the south on a wooden corridor that leads over the roof of the castle chapel into the main building.

On the east side of the castle - presumably in place of an older chapel - the Maria Schnee castle chapel was added in the 17th century . The chapel is a simple, rectangular structure ending in three octagonal sides. The choir and nave are not separated. The west gallery is accessible from the first floor of the palace. A second entrance is to the south and is accessible from the inner courtyard. In the chapel there is u. a. the coat of arms of the Schidenhofen.

In 2006 the Salzach Festival moved to Triebenbach Castle. In 2009 the owner of the castle and the city of Laufen signed a ten-year contract for the use of Triebenbach Castle as a festival venue. An Akademie Schloss Triebenbach has also moved here in 2011, which sees itself as a center for European and international studies.

In Salzburg, Triebenbachstraße is a reminder of the time when Triebenbach belonged to the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg.
