history

Wachtlhof was first mentioned as a noble residence around 1180 as the property of the Count of Falkenstein in his Codex Falkensteinensis . Thereafter, Count Siboto von Falkenstein owned the Wachtlhof among other goods. The nobles resident there named themselves after the rich estate. A Cuno von Wachtelnhoven sealed the seal in 1249 as a witness to a donation to the Seligenporten monastery. In the Bavarian land register of 1326, the place was called Niederschnufenhofen. Apparently Schnufenhofen was in control of the Wachtlhof at this time. From the middle of the 14th century a connection to the Schweppermann family can be proven. On November 20, 1409, a Kaspar Scheppermann renounced his ownership of Wachtlhof in favor of a soul foundation. In 1434 the knight Hermann von Freudenbeck sold the aristocratic residence to Ulrich Wirth from Neumarkt . At that time the Wachtlhof consisted of two individual farmsteads.

After the Landsassengut was a fiefdom of the Lords of Heideck and the other court, a freedig's own , had been reunited with the Hofmark Ittelhofen and thus again in one hand, Count Ferdinand Lorenz von Tilly did not want the lower jurisdiction over Wachtlhof, which had passed to the Landsassen of Ittelhofen acknowledge longer. The Holnstein magistrate expressed this in 1695 by demanding that the farmer von Wachthofen have to allow himself to be used (by him) for wolf hunting . On December 23, 1776, the economist Georg Mayer and his wife bought the Wachtlhof for 6,000 guilders. Simple, non-aristocratic peasants took over the former noble manor. The farm was divided in 1803. In 1981 a third house was built in Wachtlhof.

On January 1, 1972, Wachtlhof was incorporated into Seubersdorf as part of the previously independent municipality of Wissing.

Chapel of St. James and Elisabeth

The chapel of St. James and Elisabeth was built around 1827 and expanded in 1831. Due to alleged healings and answers to prayer, the chapel soon became a popular place of pilgrimage and up to 3000 visitors came to the wonder chapel . A previously unauthorized tavern was given a liquor license by this influx of visitors until 1848.
