history

In 1320 the Trennbecks were owned by Wolfsegg. 1379 Konrad Trenbeck von Wolffeckh and 1385 Catharina de Threnbach in Wolfsegg et familia are mentioned . The Trenbecks were followed by the Jahensdorffer: N. Jahenstorffer was married to Margarete, daughter of Conrad Trennbeck zu Wolfsegg . In 1461, Wilhelm Jahensdorffer named the separation basin as its fore-front. 1401 is a Friedrich Jahenstorfer named to Wolfseck . On May 15, 1410 a message came from Harprecht der Jahensdorffer zu Wolfsegg and on October 8, 1422 the fiefdom of the late Wilhalm Jahenstorfer zu Wolfsegg was mentioned in a document.

After that, the Gästl was owned by Wolfsegg. 1427 Wilhalm Gästl zu Wolfseck is mentioned, also on April 14, 1428 and June 17, 1434. In 1455 a Hanns Maroltinger zu Wolfsegk appears ; The Maroltinger 1470 are also mentioned in the country table . In 1506 Rudolf Maroltinger , keeper of Ötting, received the two seats of Geratskirchen and Wolfseck from Duke Albrecht . Rudolf does not seem to have left any male descendants, because after his death in 1515 his cousin Hans Maroltinger zu Getzersdorf in Lower Austria was given both seats. In 1560 Wolfsegg became a court march . With the wolf Dietrich Maroltinger , this sex died out in the male line in 1636.

Maria Jakobe Maroltinger married Johann Ulrich Mandl von Deutenhofen in 1638 and Wolfsegg therefore passed to the girls. From February 24, 1637, a feudal lapel for Johann Mändl from the dynasty of the Counts of Ortenburg and von und zu Deutenhoven for the two seats of Wolfsegg and Geratskirchen comes from . After his death on August 12, 1666, the ducal fief of Geratskirchen and Wolfsegg was given to his son Hans Ulrich , regimental councilor in Straubing. After the death of Hans Ulrich in 1686, Elector Max Emmanuel gave his son Anton Josef Adam Mändl , Freiherr von und zu Deutenhoven, Lord von Münchsdorf, Wolfsegg, Waldberg, Regenpeilstein and Geratskirchen the ducal seats to Geratskirchen and Wolfsegg. From Joseph Anton Adam Mändl , the possessions went to Maria Caroline Charlotte von Spreti, born in 1726 on Kaufweg . from Ingenheim over. A corresponding sovereign consensus is noted in the fief book of September 12, 1729.

In 1752 at the latest, the Hofmark was divided, with a part coming to the Vieregg . In 1760 the Kammerloher also appear here. On December 23, 1778, another descendant from the von Mändl family was enfeoffed with the electoral Morolingian fief at Geratskirchen and Wolfsegg. Franz Nono Adam Freiherr von Mändl was already 64 years old when Elector Karl Theodor transferred the two court stamps to him. Adam Mändl passed away in 1783. In the descriptions of the Hofmarks from 1780, the von Geratskirchen and Wolfsegg now name the Arco . Wolfsegg appears as an electoral knight's fief and in 1808 as an allod .

In 1803 Wolfseck was incorporated into the Eggenfelden court. A distinction is made between Wolfsegg I and II: Wolfsegg I is the patrimonial community and Wolfsegg II is the district court community. In 1818, Massing is the responsible tax district. On May 5, 1820, the Countess von Leyden and Baroness von Wittmann , née Countess Arco, are named as the owners of the Wolfsegg jurisdiction (patrimonial court II. Class) . In 1848 patrimonial jurisdiction passed to the state. By order of December 8, 1851 and January 12, 1852, the two communities are united. In 1964 Wolfsegg is a municipality in the Eggenfelden district. In 1971 Wolfsegg was merged with Massing.

Wolfsegg Castle then and now

According to the copper engraving by Michael Wening from 1721, the castle was a low castle surrounded by a moat . The palace building consisted of two three-story houses built next to one another with a gable roof and stepped gables . The castle could be reached via a bridge and access was via a gate tower with a baroque onion hood, which was blinded to the front part of the castle . The rear residential building is likely to represent the medieval core of the castle as a permanent house, the wing with the gate tower seems to be more recent.

Between 1813 and 1820 the complex was demolished with the exception of a farm building located orographically to the right of the Bina and the baroque gardens. Nothing remains of the castle today, but the location is known and is 675 m northwest of the Schernegg castle stables . Part of the former moat can be seen on an aerial photo. It shows an outer semicircular ditch, which opens into the Bina at both ends, and an inner rectangular ditch with rounded corners that surrounds the round castle island. The outer trench was leveled and filled in as early as Wening's time and was no longer pictured. This structural change to the complex probably took place before 1700, perhaps at the same time as the front wing was added and the building was converted into a cozy castle. The defensive strength of the facility was largely lost.
