history

Name Trausnitz

The Slavic sounding place name Trausnitz does not belong to the early Slavic settlement names such as Hohentreswitz , Köttlitz , Trefnitz or Gleiritsch . Initially it only referred to Trausnitz Castle and can be found in the files as "Traußnit, Trausniht, Trausnicht or Truwesnicht". The village was called Sächsenkirchen or Sessenkirchen until the end of the 14th century , the name of the castle was transferred to the village, and the name Trausnitz was created.

Aristocratic families on Trausnitz

Since the origin of the original settlement of Sächsenkirchen an der Pfreimd, a large number of aristocratic families can be found on Trausnitz. Among them were the Walturner zu Walthurn and Hostau, Weichnant Weigl (1305-1334), the Zenger, the Geiganter, Wiltinger, the Erlbecks (1515 to about 1585), the Freiherrn von Sporneck-Weißdorf (about 1570 to 1714), the barons von Quentel (1714 to 1763), Johann Balthasar von Hannakam (1763–1766) and Freiherr von Karg-Bebenburg until 1830. The house book of the Trausnitz community breaks down the owners of the castle.

Hofmark Trausnitz

The place was part of the Electorate of Bavaria and before 1800 formed a closed Hofmark of the barons of Hannakam. Actually, Baron von Karg had taken over the Hofmark in 1800 , but his legal claims were always controversial until the Hofmark was sold in 1830. In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's community was created with the community edict of 1818 .
