history

The place is mentioned for the first time shortly before 1000 in the tradition book of the Brixen monastery as Trutliupinga , derived from the personal name Truhtliob and the Bavarian ending -ing . In the second half of the 12th century Trouhtiluoibingin appears when it was from Count Gebhard III. von Sulzbach was donated to the monastery checking in for the salvation of his soul . Between 1200 and 1206 Countess Elisabeth von Ortenburg , daughter of Gebhard III. and wife Count Rapotos I. von Ortenburg , the Hochstift Passau a predium de Truhtliebingen together with another estate in Aufhausen. In 1279 the Passau Hochstift sold its property in Triftlfing to the Teutonic Knight Order . But only in the made-to-1301 Lower Bavarian Urbar is about daz Truhtlevbing havs called, bringing the fortification is meant. The goods at Triftlfing, which are now subject to tax, come from the former property of the Teutonic Order and the convent. According to a land registry by the Viztumamt Straubing , these goods (including the castle) were passed on to the Regensburg bourgeois family of the Woller . In the 14th century the castle came to Wernt den Auer . This is named after Triftlfing no later than 1344. In a papal charter from 1358 he is referred to as Werento Awer de Truchtoluing Miles . This Werner even becomes a vice-president of Straubing. In 1368 he hands over the Truchtlfing fortress to his son-in-law Degenhart the Hofer , who is then named after this place.

In the late 15th century, the Stauffer von Ehrenfels were court lords in Triftlfing (and also in Köfering ). Despite their participation in the Löwler uprising , they still own these goods. The Hofmark then passed through the noble Zenger family to the barons of Fraunhofen, who were replaced by the barons of Königsfeld in the middle of the 17th century. This merged his possessions to Alteglofsheim , Zeitzkofen and Triftlfing, whereby Triftlfing was no longer the seat of power.

In 1726 the castle was rebuilt after a fire; the original character of a moated castle with a keep and donjon-like residential tower was lost. Triftlfing is still described by Philipp Apian as a very large castle on the plain . In the land table from 1737 Triftlfing is described as a village and castle, so located in a valley, surrounded by a moat . Further renovations took place in the 19th century.
