The Patrimonial Court II. Class Tunzenberg emerged from the Hofmark in 1821 and existed until 1844.

In 1824 the communities Dengkofen (with Rogau) and Ettenkofen (with Auholz) were incorporated into Tunzenberg. Geserschlag (Geigerschlaghäusl), 1/32 Leibrecht, which in 1824 still belonged to the municipality of Tunzenberg, was sold until 1867. In 1808 it is mentioned as Göſſerschlag with Joseph von Hazzi , with a house and a hearth.

The heiress Paula Freiin von Niethammer married the lieutenant colonel Eugen von Haniel at the beginning of the 20th century.

In order to comply with the Fideikommissgesetz, both names were combined. Thus, by royal decree, the baron class was downgraded to "Lord of" in order to insert the real name Haniel as "von Haniel-Niethammer".

In 1932, the youngest son, Dr. Fritz von Haniel-Niethammer took over the estate and gave it to his son Dr. Ruprecht von Haniel-Niethammer continued. The entire property was sold in 1990 and subsequently dismantled. The current owner of the castle is Alfons Aigner.

The municipality of Tunzenberg belonged to the district court district of Dingolfing, the district office of Dingolfing and finally to the district of Dingolfing . In 1962 its area was about 1024 hectares. The most important businesses were the castle estate with agriculture and forestry and the castle brewery built in 1729. Even before the municipal reform in Bavaria began , the municipality of Tunzenberg was incorporated into the municipality of Mengkofen on January 1, 1971.
