Building history

Michael Wening: Unterweikertshofen Castle

Weikertshofen Castle was built by the noble family of the same name in the 12th century. In the 14th century, the expansion and expansion by the Dukes of Bavaria takes place as an important strategic base. In the 15th century there were numerous lawsuits about the nationality of the castle, which appears in documents as "Veste". Around 1550, the complex essentially consists of three massive square towers, which are connected by walls and parts of the building to form a single complex. In 1597 the castle was described as dilapidated. In 1610 the foundation stone of the new castle was laid by Sebastian Adlzhauser, and it was completed in 1616. In 1633 it was destroyed and pillaged by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War . In 1657 the castle was restored with probably four onion-roofed corner turrets, but perhaps only in the form of wooden roof turrets that were placed on the eaves.

location

Schloss Unterweikertshofen is located, dominating the townscape, in the middle of the village of the same name on the left bank of the Glonn, off the main road Dachau - Aichach , about one kilometer southwest of Petersberg .

The oldest representation of Schloss Unterweikertshofen can be found on the maps by Philipp Apian , around 1600.

This engraving shows the old Weikertshofen fortress in a bend in the river Glonn . The building essentially consists of three massive square towers, which are connected by walls and smaller structures to form a single complex.

In a picture from 1666 about the huntability of the von Preysing in the Hofmark Weikertshofen, which hangs in the castle, the building is shown as a cubic structure with a hipped roof , the four corners of which are flanked by onion-covered turrets. It can be assumed that the author, who is not named, has presented an authentic state.

The castle presents itself in a similar form on the engraving by Michael Wening about "Schloß und Hoff = March Weickertshoffen", around 1700.

The stately building, covered with a high hipped roof, is framed by four turrets, which obviously extend to the ground. Wening himself writes: "The castle is beautiful and big in four corners / and built with four neat little arms." The north side is emphasized by a central projection over three window axes. The roof is interrupted by dormers. At Wening, three turrets adorn the ridge - these are probably chimneys - in addition, ridge decorations with balls and wind flags can be seen at the point where they occur.

The first photograph of Bavaria from 1808 shows the castle as a rectangular structure with an almost square extension in the south.

Two pavilions flank the long eastern side, which opens onto an ornamental garden. Nothing can be seen of the corner turrets. Since then, nothing has changed in the scope of the castle.

Building description

The stately structure of Schloss Unterweikertshofen rises above a rectangular floor plan, the side lengths of which are in a proportion of 1 to 2. The three-storey building is closed with a high half-hip roof with beaver tail covering. The individual floors are visually separated from each other by surrounding plastering flaps.

In the central axis of the long sides there is an entrance portal, which is accessible via five steps. Of the three window axes to the left and right of it, the two inner ones are brought together to form a pair, the third axis is exactly in the middle of the remaining wall pane. The upright rectangular cross-frame windows are provided with window sashes of different muntin spacing. The west view is emphasized by larger windows on the first floor. In the central axis, above the entrance door, there is another enlarged window of the same proportions. On the upper floors there are louvre shutters on all windows, the windows on the ground floor are barred. The entrance portals sit in natural stone walls that continue in a round arch above a fighter. This contains a barred window in the form of a rectangle, which is laterally expanded by a semicircle. The main entrance on the west side is given additional emphasis, as it is framed by pilaster templates. At the level of the first cleaning bottle, these have a formation of capitals that are cranked back to form an equally profiled cornice between the pilasters. The door jambs on the east side are worked out in greater detail, the lintel is chiseled with the year 1896. The richly profiled wooden door has a neo-baroque character. Above this door, a stone plaque is embedded above the floor division, the inscription of which refers to the construction of the castle:

1616 This castle has from Grundt Auferpauth der Wol Noble and Gestreng Herr Hanns = Sebastian von und zu Adlzhausen and Weickhertshouen Fürstl. through Ertzherzog Leopoldi of Austria Bishops of Strasbourg and Passau Camerer and Rath also caretakers of the prince. Lordship Ebelsberg and Lechenprobst In Austria above the Enß. Also his beloved, noble, honorable and virtuous husband, Mrs. So = phia, a born from Bihring to Sichharting, God receives in protracted dignities from the aristocratic names and origins.

From the narrow sides of the building, the south-facing view is interrupted by a centrally located extension built over an almost square floor plan, the eaves of which are at the height of the lintels on the 2nd floor. The hipped roof connects to the rising wall. The horizontal cleaning areas are not continued over the extension, which is only exposed to light on the upper floors through two small windows. To the left and right of the extension there are two window axes, of which the inner ones are continued into the gable end through two small windows. The windows on the second floor take on an almost square format on the south side with the same opening width. Due to the terrain, which slopes slightly to the south, this side protrudes higher from the ground, so that there is still space for a barred cellar window and a small ventilation hatch. The opposite north facade is sparsely windowed, here too there is no floor separation above the ground floor. Due to the higher terrain here, the ground floor appears sagged. The narrow side of the building has been broken up by a single large, landscape-format window from recent times. In the attic, slightly shifted to the west side, there are one portrait and two landscape format openings. Due to the north-south gradient, it is possible to enter the basement from the outside via a door, but using differential steps. This is on the south side of the west facade under the outermost window axis.

The layout of the castle is clear and simple. If you enter the castle through the western entrance from the through-town, you stand in a continuous hall with a cross vault. To the left and right are - originally - four rooms each, which are obscured by more recent partition walls. The fixtures also destroy the beautiful vaults and the z. T. stuccoed ceilings. The dining room in the southern half of the castle is worth mentioning. A large room behind it was subdivided and now houses the house chapel in one half, which has no equipment worth mentioning. The castle kitchen and other utility rooms were previously located in the northern half of the castle. In the entrance hall there is a stone plaque on the north wall with a coat of arms from 1673, which refers to the destruction by the Swedes and the reconstruction by Johann Franz von Preysing .

A single-flight, quarter-turn staircase leads to the first floor. The so-called "Hundtsche Saal" with its rich stucco ceiling is located above the dining room. An adjoining room on the west side with an equally rich ceiling stucco is cut through by several walls. This floor contains the representation rooms of the baroque palace, it can be clearly recognized as a "piano nobile". An enfilade sequence of the rooms can still be clearly made out on the basis of the floor plan. The second floor offers a better picture of the original room layout. The rooms do not have any special equipment, the bedrooms of the castle residents were probably once there.

Hundtscher Hall

The “stucco room” on the first floor south of the stairwell is the most elegant room in the castle. The relatively low room with an almost square floor plan (7.54 m × 8.15 m) is illuminated by two windows in the west facade. The transition from the smooth, architecturally undivided walls to the flat ceiling is formed by a profiled strip, a groove is not pronounced. Vine leaves roll at regular intervals around the rod on the ceiling that forms the outer frame. The wide band of the ceiling stucco leaves an almost square mirror drawn in at its corners. Four round medallions remain free in the diagonals. The frames of the mirrors and medallions consist of a bead decorated with acanthus, accompanied by flat profiles leading to the level of the ceiling base. A circumferential band of entwined rose tendrils leads inwards to the ceiling mirror. A winged genius head each carries the round medallions, which are crowned by three-pass-shaped fields. Acanthus tendrils grow out of the seam and frame the three-pass , with the uppermost tendrils turning into volutes in its apex, from which a conch shell grows over an acanthus leaf. The medallions are framed by fruit pendants attached to the lowest tendril. The surfaces between the medallion compositions, which are oriented towards the center of the room, occupy flat fields filled with opposing tendril motifs that have outgrown a calyx. The inner tips of this acanthus leaf open to form flower rosettes. The axes of the ceiling are taken up by the crowning of these fields: a conch shell, framed by acanthus leaves, transitions into a bust with a slightly inclined head, whose shoulders outgrow pendants of flowers. The stucco decoration of the walls is limited to the framing of the two doors with a semicircular bar overgrown with acanthus leaves between flat profiles. In the sopra portals, three-pass-shaped cartridges lie between S-shaped arcs that are turned into volutes at the ends. Heavy fruit festons swing out in a slight curvature towards the frame corners. In the remaining spandrels sit leaf rosettes. The crown of the sopra portals is crowned by a winged genius head that seems to be supporting the ceiling molding. The ceiling mirror and the medallions were probably intended for frescoes, perhaps also the three-pass cartouches. The stucco decoration is kept entirely in white. The alternation between flat and round plastic elements creates a lively play of light and shadow on the surface, which enhances the plastic effect.

Nothing is known about the creator and the timing of the stuccoing. The individual forms suggest that the master was familiar with Italian stucco work. The plasticity of the flower and fruit festoons, the mussel shells and the leaf sticks is closer to Italian works of the second half of the 17th century than the stucco work by the Wessobrunners, which has become more extensive since the turn of the 18th century and is more prone to stylization. The sharply jagged acanthus leaves with its flat relief in the ground, this also forms a contrast to the Wessobrunn school, whose acanthus ornaments stand out in a clearly drawn silhouette from the relief ground, such as in the Thassilosaal of the Wessobrunn monastery by Johann Schmuzer and his sons Joseph and Franz. In addition to the Italian influence, there are also impulses from French printmaking. These ornamental templates, which were created in series, have contributed to replacing the Italian style in favor of a French one, which was also used in the Wessobrunner stucco with Johann Baptist Zimmermann . The busts above the mussel shells already show gallant features, as they later appear in Watteau. In Berain and Marot, mask-like female heads often form the axis points of symmetrical ornament compositions; the busts also appear here in this function. The decorative strip with rose tendrils that encompasses the ceiling mirror resembles the embroidery borders that Marot's stitching contains in many variations.

Probably the stucco in Unterweikertshofen was created by a member of the Wessobrunn guild, perhaps even by Johann Baptist or Dominikus Zimmermann or their workshops. Johann Baptist Zimmermann can be identified as a plasterer in 1701.

The pilgrimage church Maria Schnee near Markt Rettenbach in the district of Memmingen is considered to be the earliest surviving work. It was stuccoed by Zimmermann between 1707 and 1709. The execution still corresponds to the Italian stucco, which does not structure the architectural surface, but is limited to individual lines. Individual elements from the ceiling of the castle stand up to a comparison with the stuccoing of the choir in Rettenbach. The heavily plastic festoons with grapes, poppy seed capsules and local fruits, interspersed with vine leaves, can definitely be a preliminary stage of the Rettenbachers, although their structure still follows a more rigid scheme. The circular fresco with the dove of the Holy Spirit in the dome center surrounds a laurel stick with accompanying profiles, which comes very close to the medallion frames. There is an even closer relationship to the framing of the central ceiling fresco in the Marienkapelle of the Carthusian Church in Buxheim, the stuccoing of which is attributed to Dominikus Zimmermann from 1709 onwards. The bulging frame decorated with vegetal décor reappears in the Sixtus Church in Schliersee, 1712 to 1714. Here the foliage wraps around the vault border. The stucco in Schliersee is entirely by Johann Baptist Zimmermann. Comparisons with the still preserved early work of Johann Baptist Zimmermann allow the Unterweikertshofener stucco ceiling to be classified in the period from 1700 to 1710. From 1635 to around 1762 the castle was owned by those von Preysing, who probably brought the leading artists of the time to Unterweikertshofen. At this time, Johann Schmuzer, his sons Joseph and Franz would be considered. However, the decoration seems too modern for Schmuzer to do it. Although individual motifs from the printmaking have been adopted, the ceiling is an independent work. This characteristic speaks for an early work by a carpenter or a workshop colleague who worked with him.

owner

Weikertshofen, a Hofmark on the Glonn, appears in older documents as Wickershouen and Weickhertzhouen. The castle in its current form dates from the first half of the 17th century. The main castle stood not far from the existing one in a bend in the river Glonn.

Weikertshofen Castle was probably built in the 12th century by the noble Weikertshofer family. The first written mention of the von Weikertshofen comes from the year 1126 from a foundation letter from the Undenstorff monastery, today's Indersdorf. l) The lord of the castle Ulrich von Weickertzhouen donated his estate in Oberroth to the monastery. In 1181 Vollmarus von Wickershouen was among the aristocratic witnesses to a donation from Bishop Albert von Freising , in 1231 Ulrich Edler von Wickershouen, the court servant Otto the illustrious , appeared at the funeral of Ludwig des Kelheimer zu Scheyern . The next owners are Dittrich von Weickertshouen, Dienst and Lehnsmann Duke Ludwigs and his wife Raimund. They donate a farm in Maltenhofen to Scheyern Monastery, presumably today's Walkertshofen. Wiguleus Hund writes about their son Friedrich : 2) “Dominus Friedericus de Weickershouen cum liberis Henrico et Adlhait praetendit jus in illo praedio, Ludovicus Com. Palat. Ren. Dux Bavariae condolens egestati illius 25e denariorum et decrevit, ut omni Juri renunciaret. ”3) Hundt notes that the letter from which this passage is taken does not have a year. As a result of this renunciation, Weikertshofen came to the House of Bavaria, where it remained until 1315. During these years the castle was safely expanded by the dukes of Bavaria, as it represented an important strategic base.

In 1315, Duke Rudolf of Bavaria gave the House of Weickertshofen to Konrad von Eysenhouen or Außenhouen “because of his loyal service”, as the letter on display shows. The noble family of the Eysenhouen is very old. The ancestral castle was in Eisenhofen , a village not far from Weikertshofen, east of the road from Munich to Aichach in the Glonntale. The name Außenhouen comes from Usen or Husen, that's how the whole Gau an der Glonn was called; the Eisenhofer owned almost all of the castles and seats from the origin of the Glonn to Indersdorf. In 1340 another Konrad zu Weikertshofen is notarized, a son of the knight Eberhard Eysenhouer zu Arnbach, and after him his son Friedrich zu Weikertshofen, who is confirmed in 1370. Konrad was probably the last Eisenhofer on Weikertshofen. Ownership passed to Preysinger, whether through inheritance, purchase or donation, is not yet known.

139 Seitz von Preysing zu Weikertshofen an der Glonn is the first Preysinger to be mentioned in a document. This Seitz Preysinger came from the Preysinger von Altenpreysing family. In 1392 he was a seal witness to the first Bavarian alliances. He is mentioned as Seitz Preysinger von Weickertzhouen. Already during the reign of Dukes Wilhelm III. and Ernst (1397–1435) Weikertshofen went back to the House of Bavaria , an exact time and a reason for this are not known.

At the beginning of the 15th century the castle came to the Adelzhauser. In 1411 Heinrich, a son of Waldmayr or Waldemarus von Adlzhausen, and his wife, Mr. Hansen Pailacher's daughter, bought the Weikertshofen fortress from Dukes Wilhelm and Ernst with the reservation that it would be open forever, as well as offering and teaching.

In the 15th century there were numerous lawsuits over possession of the fortress. In the third unprinted part of his “Family Register”, Wiguleus Hund writes about the dispute between the dukes in Bavaria over Weikertshofen that broke out in 1431: “Umb Weickerzhouen was the dispute between Duke Ludtwigen of Ingolstadt aines, and Duke Ernst and Duke Wilhelbm other thails, whatever the regional court wardt, through 25 Landtleuth, whose obrister Hannß von Degenberg , hereditary steward in Nidernbayern recognizes that it belongs to the Dachau and not to the Aicher court in 1431. "4)

About the aforementioned Heinrich von Adlzhausen, Hundt notes elsewhere: "Hainrich was there /: to Weickerzhouen: / captured by Duke Ernst and Wilhelbm, the castle destroyed, then he was right against Sye, who therefore died a lot." 5) Heinrich's marriage with Auerin von Pullach had two children, Georg and Dorothea. He had a daughter, Amalie, with his second wife, Barbara Dießenhoferin. The lord of the castle died in 1451 and was buried in Adlzhausen. After his death his son Georg came into the possession of Weikertshofen. This appears on a document in 1438 as a witness when Rudolf Preysinger zu Wolnzach sold his Wolnzach festivals to Duke Albrecht, Count of Vohburg. In 1445 Georg became a carer at Möring, in 1461 a carer at Dachau and finally a councilor in Munich, where he was buried in St. Peter's Church after his death. He was married to Barbara von Westernach , with whom he had a son Hieronymus and six daughters.

Hieronymus Adelzhauser, carer at Dachau, followed his father in the line of owners. It appears in documents for the first time in 1454. In 1486 he obviously took over Weikertshofen while his father was still alive, since on April 22, 1486 he ordered his father Georg von Adelzhausen to take over a personal property when he took over the estate. He was married to Barbara, Albrecht's daughter. Hausner von Fronhausen zum Burgstall and his wife Barbara, née Wildenwarter. From this marriage three sons emerged, Hans, Georg and Ulrich. Hieronymus died in 1500, he was laid to rest in Munich. According to the “Weikertshofen Historical Notes” by Joseph Grob 6), his sons Georg and Ulrich were not married. The former was a warrior and colonel, the latter Commander of the German Order . According to a document dated March 18, 1510, Ulrich Adelzhauser zu Weikertshofen gave his brothers Hans and Georg his entire paternal inheritance and any future inheritance from his mother Barbara and his brothers against Leibgeding. The youngest son Hans got Weikertshofen after the death of his father. He was councilor to Freising, for a few years bishop of the Count Palatine Philipp, governor of Zeitz, most recently a nurse in Massenhausen. He had many children with his wife Ursula, née von Roth. 7) A son Johannes was the cathedral dean of Freising, Hans Georg had drowned as a young man. His third son Philipp von Adelzhausen inherited the estate of Weikertshofen. This appears in 1565 on a sales contract as the buyer of a farmstead with a garden in Weikertshofen. At this time he was already the district judge at Dachau. He later became a nurse in Rieth. He was married to Margaretha von Preysing , their children are Philipp, Hans Sebastian, Hieronymus and Rasina.

Philipp was canon of Augsburg and Eichstätt, he is the builder and / or expander of the church in Weikertshofen. Grob notes that for this reason Philip's name is written on a yellow glass plaque in the lower window of the church tower. In the church a parchment plaque commemorates the canon: "This Gägen-worthy house of God was built and expanded by the Reverend Hochedl, Mr. Johan Philipp von und zu Adlzhausen, on Weikertshofen, Thumdechant zu Aichstätt and Thumherr zu Augspurg in 1608 years."

Jerome was a Passau councilor. In 1596 Duke Wilhelm gave him festivals and the village of Weikertshofen and the village of Walkertshofen as fiefs for himself and his siblings . He was married to Anastasia von Pienzenau, a widow of Pabo des Hocholtinger. Since the Adelzhauser tribe became extinct at this time, it is assumed that no children came from the marriage.

A third son, Hans Sebastian von Adelzhausen, was the heir to Weikertshofen. However, it is not known whether he was also the oldest son. He was a Passau nurse at Ebelsberg, he was married to Sophia von Piehring.

Duke Maximilian I awarded him part of the festivals and village of Weikertshofen on September 2, 1604 for himself and as a liege-bearer of his brothers Philipp and Hieronymus, after her sister Rosina had issued a proper waiver letter after her marriage. Hans Sebastian was the builder of today's Weikertshofen Castle, which was completed in 1616. This is where the real story of the castle begins. The documents do not make it clear why the castle was rebuilt elsewhere. Presumably, however, the old fortress was falling into disrepair, because in a description from 1597 the castle is listed as "noble man's seat and an old purchaser". 8) A stone plaque above the entrance on the garden side reminds of the building of the current castle. The lord of the castle died on July 15, 1615 before it was finally completed.

Ms. Sophia von Adelzhausen donated an anniversary and four quarterly fairs to the branch church in Weikertshofen. She died on August 16, 1625 and is buried with her husband in Weikertshofen. Her son Philipp Hektor was canon of Passau, nothing is known about their son Leopold. With her death, the Adelzhauser tribe died out.

In 1635, the two daughters of Hans Sebastian and Sophias, Maria Sophia and Maria Catharina, succeeded in the succession. The latter was married to Johann Warmund Freiherrn von Preysing . With the death of Maria Catharina, Weikertshofen passed again to the Preysinger.

Johann Warmund von Preysing, Electoral Chamberlain and Vice-Cathedral of Straubing, was obviously married to Anna Ursula Freiin von Gumpenberg's second marriage . It is not known from which marriage his son Johann Franz von Preysing and three other sons come. In 1655 these four brothers were enfeoffed.

Johann Franz von Preysing was the next landowner on Weikertshofen. According to Bucelinus 9) he had four wives, nothing is known about the first. In the “parish copulation book” he is called “viduus”: “Perill. Dns. Joan. Franziscus Comes de Preysing viduus et Dna Eleonora Fuggerin Comitißa celebs, obtenta prius a Summo Pontifice intra 2 dum affinitatis gradum dispensatione, a Rm ° D. Martino Undenstorffensium Praesule in Ecclia Weikerzhouensi subritu Pontificali matrimonio circa juncti s the sequentiali matrimonio circa junctium hunti s a pfato Praesule Pontificali celebratum. ”101 This second marriage took place on May 15, 1657.

During his reign on Weikertshofen in 1633 the castle and the village were sacked when the Swedes invaded. Johann Franz had the castle rebuilt; it was completed in 1657, as reported by a stone plaque on the ground floor of the castle. The marriage with Anna Eleonora Fuggerin resulted in nine children, six of whom died in infancy. Johann Franz Graf zu Preysing died on May 22, 1674 in Munich, he is buried in Weikertshofen. His wife Eleonora died on February 16, 1697 in Munich, she is also laid to rest in the church in Weikertshofen.

The property now passed to the eldest son Johannes Franziskus Ferdinand, born on June 14th, 1659. The first mention of Johannes Franziskus Ferdinand as lord of Weikertshofen comes from the description of Bavaria according to the four rent offices from 1701. As 1704 after the battle of Höchstätt On August 13th the war people on their way to Munich also haunted the area around Weikertshofen, the lord of the castle fled to Vienna, where he also died.

The marriage of "Johan nes Epiphanius Maximilianus Comes de Khuen in Belasi and Gandeck" with "Maria Franziska Monica de Preysing", the daughter of Johann Franziskus Ferdinand, has been recorded in 1705. Through this marriage and through enfeoffment by Emperor Joseph I in 1706, Weikertshofen came to the South Tyrolean family of Count Khuen von Belasy . Maria Franziska died on October 17, 1741, her husband on March 31, 1751. Both are buried in Weikertshofen, the tombstone was placed by her only daughter Maria Anna Walburga. About the three sons Theophilus Egon Maximilianus Callistus, b. on October 14, 1708, Joannes Theoplanes Antonius Beno Maria, b. on June 14, 1712, d. July 16, 1762 and Carolus Josephus Felix Sigismund Joannes Nepomucenus Servatius, b. on May 13, 1719 nothing is known in connection with Weikertshofen.

Maria Anna Walburga Birgitta Maximiliana, b. on May 1, 1711, married on November 23, 1739 with "Joannes Franciscus Nonosus de Mandl". As early as 1736, her mother had given her the court brands Adelzhausen and Weikertshofen. From this it roughly concludes that after the death of Count Khuen Belasi in 1751 Weikertshofen first came to his son Johannes Theophanes Benno and that he either died unmarried or at least childless. Since Maria Anna Walburga describes herself on her parents' tombstone as "Domina in Weikerihofen", it can be assumed that all of her brothers died childless. Maria Anna died on December 16, 1787. Franz Nono's Baron Mandl had already preceded it on February 12, 1783. Both are buried in the church in Weikertshofen. Her daughter Maria Josepha married Count Theodor Hundt von und zu Lauterbach on February 27, 1767, the second daughter Maria Anna became the wife of Baron Johann Wilhelm Tänzl von Trazberg auf Dietldorf on September 28, 1782 , who succeeded him from 1783 Weikertshofen had started.

Weikertshofen has been owned by Count Hundt von und zu Lauterbach since 1800 . The contract and marriage of Franziska Reichsfreiin von Taenzl with Maximilian Graf Hundt von und zu Lauterbach brought about this last change of ownership. Since then, Weikertshofen has been continuously owned by the Counts of Hundt, most recently by Count Hans von Hundt zu Lautterbach, who died on September 15, 2019 at the age of 87.
