history

Zaitzkofen is a Bavarian foundation in the period 500–700 AD on the Roman road ( via Augustana ) from Abensberg to Straubing. Under Bishop Ambricho , the Regensburg Monastery was already wealthy here. However, the bishopric and the Sankt Emmeram monastery were not the only landlords in this area, but a Uzzant from Zaitzkofen had a free estate here . Around the middle of the 10th century, the monastery of St. Emmeram seems to have exercised jurisdiction in the place. On November 4, 1220, Konrad von Zaitzkofen gave the Paring Monastery some courtyards as sea equipment . His son Haeinricus von Zeitzkoven, Ministeriale of the cathedral church, and his wife Beatrix are also mentioned when they gave away a court to the church in Paring. On October 16, 1240, Bishop Siegfried von Regensburg enfeoffed Friedrich von Berg with the Zaitzkoven Castle ( castrum in Zeizkofen ). Under this it seems to have come to the development of a secular seat Zaitzkofen, because afterwards no more high estates are given.

1337 is a Mr. Tristan Richter zu Zaitzkofen and acquires a farm on the mountain near Zaitzkofen, called zu Schönhöfen , from the Paring Monastery . On January 8, 1356 Eberhard the Falkensteiner is mentioned on Zaitzkofen. On August 16, 1384 Peter takes over the Falkenstein to Zaitzkofen at the request of Abbot Heinrich von Mallersdorf the court office to Mallersdorf. In 1390 Hans von Pinkofen was the local judge, 1399 Jobs der Tosch, 1402 Heinrich der Hägadem and 1404 Konrad der Maushamer was the caretaker and judge at Zaitzkofen. On April 3, 1422, Peter Falkensteiner wrote his will and appointed Heinrich and Hanns, the sons of his niece Barbara, wife of Jörg Fraunberger, as the main heirs to Zaitzkofen and Falkenfels. Hans Fraunberger still owns Zaitzkofen until 1440. In 1443, Balthasar Maushamer is named here as the caretaker. In 1448 the Hofmark belonged to Kunigunde von Eck, widow of Hans Fraunberger. In 1470 a dispute broke out between the Fraunbergers and the Paulsdorfer over Zaitzkofen. In 1471, Duke Ludwig awarded the Zaitzkofener property to the Paulsdorfer, as the Fraunbergers could no longer have any male descendants (the latter were compensated with a sum of money). In 1470 the Paulsdorffers are registered as owners of Zaitzkofen on the land table . In the land table from 1500, Hans Paulsdorfer and Georg von Günsberg are listed as lords of the court. From 1510 to 1808 Zeitzkofen was owned by the lords, from 1685 Imperial Count von Königsfeld ; Presumably they were rewarded for their services in Spain by Emperor Charles V. Around 1730, the Zaitzkofen Castle was rebuilt by Johann Georg II. Imperial Count von Königsfeld . In 1786 Zaitzkofen was raised to a free rule and on April 3, 1786 the jus gladii was awarded to the Fideikommissherrschaft Zaitzkofen.

Driveway and church

In 1809 the castle came into the possession of Maximilian Joseph von Montgelas , at that time Zaitzkofen was a man fief ( ad dies vitae ) of the crown and from 1820, with the approval of King Max Joseph, a lordship court . On October 1st, 1832, Prince von Thurn und Taxis took over the Montgelas estates in the Regenkreis. On October 4, 1848, the Zaitzkofen court was dissolved and assigned to the Mallersdorf regional court.

In 1926 the castle came to the White Fathers , then to the Mariannhill Missionaries . Today, the castle is a seminary of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X used.

The castle is a three-story, wide mansard hipped roof building with protruding corner risalits , stone portals and drilled windows from around 1730. The castle chapel on the second floor was donated around 1720. Remains of the castle entrance with rusticated pillars have also been preserved.
