history

In the second half of the 13th century Wulkersdorf was owned by the Wolkersdorfer family, who were ministerials of the Bamberg bishopric . On June 15, 1268, a witness named Wernherus de Wulkchernsdorf appears in an arbitration certificate from the Market Court in Nittenau . After the Duke Surbar of Bavaria from approx. 1285, a Lutzmannus pledged a hoof to Wulkersdorf. Wulkersdorf is only listed as Hofmark in the Landsassmatrikel after the survey on a Landsasserei .

According to the house contract of Pavia of August 4, 1329, the country was divided into a Bavarian and a Palatinate line of Wittelsbachers . The "Upper Palatinate" included Nittenau, Plitting, Pettenreuth and Wulkersdorf.

Around 1500, the Präckendorfer von Siegenstein owned by Wulkersdorf. In 1598 Georg von Präckendorf is proven here and in 1600 his heirs appear as owners. Under Georg von Prackendorf, the Wulkersdorf estate was turned into a country mess. On January 11, 1620, by comparison, the son of Dinosinius von Präckendorf, Hans Thomas, and Hans Ludwig von Eyb were both country residents of Wulkersdorf. In 1622 Hans Poyßl von Loifling, who had married a daughter of Präckendorf, acquires the share of the Präckendorf family and in 1623 he also bought the share of the Eyb and becomes the sole owner. Since he was a Lutheran , Poyßl had to leave the Upper Palatinate in 1629 and went to Regensburg . He asked that his country estate be looked after by a Catholic administrator. After the conquest of Regensburg by Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar , Poyßl joined the Swedish war service. He was also given the management of the Wetterfeld office . After the Swedes withdrew, he was charged as a traitor to the country, but had to be acquitted due to the Prague resolutions of 1635.

Despite Poyßl's service with the Swedes, Wulkersdorf Castle was destroyed by them in 1634. Hans Poyßl had it rebuilt. In 1644 he was threatened with expulsion again; Therefore he went to the nearby Glapfenberg and administered Wulkersdorf from there. After him, his son Hans Wilhelm appears as the owner of Wulkersdorf in 1652. In 1654 it was bought by his son-in-law Christoph Jobst Bernhard von Satzenhofen . In 1676 he sold Wulkersdorf to Karl Carocia, "Saphoischer" (= Savoyard) court and chamber councilor. In 1686 the Satzenhofer family was again owned by Wulkersdorf. On July 1, 1686, Hans Friedrich von Satzenhofen resigns from compulsory Landsassen. The abbess of Niedermünster Abbey, Maria Theresia von Muggenthal , acquired the estate from him in August 1687. Karl von Tunzl, who is registered as the owner in the registers of the Landsassen in 1716, follows the Niedermünster monastery. In 1736 the estate was still in the hands of his widow; their son Karl Georg Ernst sold it to Valentin Franz von Emerich in March 1750. From this it went to Johann Marquard Rudolf von Gropper, who is registered as a Landsasse in 1754. From the Gropperschen spouses, together with the Stanglhof (near Burglengenfeld), Johann Kaspar von Prunck, an officer from Saxony, who resigned from the compulsory Landsassen on May 29, 1767. These possessions then passed to Karl Albert Freiherr von Gugomos, who on May 12, 1773 resigned from the compulsory Landsassen and was also resident in Bodenstein in 1778 .

On October 11, 1796, he sold Wulkersdorf to Johann Nepomuk von Reisen, salt official in Amberg . He had a new castle built in place of the old one. Von Reisen applied for the establishment of a local court on November 28, 1814, which was approved by King Maximilian I Joseph in 1815 . On February 10, 1821, permission was given to him to set up a second class patrimonial court . After the death of Johann Nepomuk von Reisen († March 2, 1835), his widow and the other heirs sold the property to Alexander Freiherr von Mauchenheim, known as Bechtoldsheim . This offered the state the transfer of jurisdiction in exchange for compensation. In the course of the general dissolution of the patrimonial jurisdiction in 1848 this was also approved. Since 1839 Wulkersdorf has been an independent municipality, which is subordinate to the district court of Nittenau.

Carl Wilderich von Walderdorff zu Hauzenstein bought the Wulkersdorf estate in 1852. It remained in the possession of the Counts of Hauzenstein until 1923, when Count Franz von Walderdorff passed it on to his daughter, Countess Sophie von Preysing . The neighboring castle grounds of Bodenstein, the Hönighof and extensive forests also belonged to the count's possessions. In 1930 the count's property was broken up. The Wulkersdorfer Gut is sold and has been privately owned ever since.

The communities of Wulkersdorf and Plitting are dissolved after the Second World War and incorporated into the community of Hauzendorf in the district of Regensburg on August 1, 1945. The northern parts of the municipality remain in the Roding district and are assigned to the market town of Nittenau on October 1, 1945. By government resolution of March 21, 1951, Wulkersdorf becomes an independent municipality again with the municipality parts Darmersdorf, Goppelshof, Manghof, Plitting, Oberbraunstuben and Unterbraunstuben. The community remains with the district of Regensburg. After an intermezzo (incorporation into the Schwandorf district on July 1, 1972), the Wulkersdorf community was dissolved on December 31, 1973 and incorporated into the Bernhardswald community.

Wulkerdorf Castle today

The former castle is a two-storey hipped roof building from the end of the 18th century. The core of the building is older, however, with a round arched portal on the south side, probably from the 16th century. The ensemble includes a stable building with an angular floor plan and covered with a half-hipped or hipped roof; this dates from the 18th century.
