Castle complex

Tännesberg Castle stood on the Schlossberg in the Middle Ages . From this strategically favorable point one had eye contact with Burg Leuchtenberg , Burg Wildstein and Burg Gleiritsch . The hill fort was owned by the Paulsdorfer in the 12th century . "A distinction was made between a lower and an upper house (house = castle) ...". Between 1394 and 1397 it was sold to the Count Palatine Ruprecht I and Ruprecht II . During the Thirty Years War the castle was taken and destroyed. Remnants of the foundations of the former castle complex on the Schlossberg are still preserved.

Calvary

Around 1817 the ruins were torn down. The Schlossberg was transformed into a Calvary . 14 stations of the cross were built and the tomb and the grotto "Christ in Chains" were built. Carl Burger , who was born in Tännesberg, renovated the Stations of the Cross between 1925 and 1929. In 2001 the Oberpfälzer Waldverein renewed the stations of the cross with the support of the Northern Upper Palatinate Forest Nature Park .

Resurrection Chapel

After the foundations of the former castle complex had been exposed in 1932, the Heimatschutzverein built the Resurrection Chapel in 1934. In 1996 the building was rebuilt in its current form by the Upper Palatinate Forest Association.

Grazing

Around 1980 the south side of the Schlossberg was cut down. The landscape maintenance of the steep and stony terrain has been done by sheep since then .
