The village of Trautenberg is part of the municipality of Krummennaab in the Tirschenreuth district . At the end of the 1980s, the place had 44 residents. The noble knight family of the Trautenbergs was originally located there. Only a ruin near the village has survived from their headquarters, Trautenberg Castle .

history

The place and the family of the Trautenbergs were first mentioned in 1244 with a "Marquard de Trutenberch" in the entourage of the Landgrave von Leuchtenberg . The settlement was probably founded in the middle of the 10th century, when the Bavarians advancing from the south built a fortification to protect against the Slavs on the strategically located place .

The Trautenbergers left their headquarters in 1387 to move to the more easily accessible Reuth . The Trautenberg Castle passed to the Pfreimder, who owned it until 1412. They were followed by the Schütz von Laineck , which Trautenberg belonged to until 1557. After several changes of ownership, the von der Grün family acquired the manor in 1597. However, the new owners gave up the castle and built a castle southwest of it in the valley, which was completed in 1608. In a description of the North Gauze offices from the year 1620 there is a reference that the castle was "gone", that is, it was in ruins.

After the landowner Hanns Georg von der Grün died in 1648 without heirs, Trautenberg went to the Rabenstein family as a fallen fief .

In 1690 the Hirschberg family became the owners of the estate and kept it until 1849.

The 1862/1863 built leg pastures - Wiesau the railway willow Oberkotzau runs through the town.

Today Trautenberg belongs politically to the municipality of Krummennaab. The castle and the associated agricultural properties are the property of the von Lindenfels family , who have their headquarters in the nearby Thumsenreuth Castle .

To the origin of the name

There are various hypotheses about the origin of the place name. One assumes that Slavs settled here before the castle was built and that Trautenberg means mountain of a (Slavic) turkey . Another interpretation is based on a Trautwein Pfreimder who is said to have been the progenitor of the Trautenberger; after him the place is said to have been called "Trautweinsberg" at first, which then changed to Trautenberg over the years.

The folk tale knows a third thesis. After that, robber barons are said to have been up to mischief in the castle, which is why those passing by were warned: "Trau-nit-dem-Berg". Later, after the robber barons had been driven out and it was safe to pass the area again, it is said to have become “Traut-dem-Berg”.
