Wetterfeld Castle

history

The members of the dynasty of the Wetterfelder were double ministerials who served the king and the Diepolding margraves . The local property was withdrawn from the Staufers in 1204 as a settled imperial fiefdom and administered from Wetterfeld and Regenpeilstein. Wetterfeld remained the dominant center of power even under the Wittelsbach family; after the "Urbarium Baiuwariae transdanubianae" belonged 1285 to the office Wetterfeld Wetterfeld ( Weternvelt ), Roding ( Rotingen ), Thannhof ( Tanne ), Angermühle ( Amelgatsmvul ), Fuchshof ( Phuel ), Kollenzendorf ( Chodentzendorf), Saalhof ( Salach ), Hitzelsberg ( Hitzgeinsperg ), Grub ( pit ), Wenzenried ( Wenzenrivt ) and Gmünd ( Gemvund ).

After the end of the Staufer in 1268 and the transition of the areas around Cham to the Wittelsbacher , a Konrad von Wetterfeld appears again in 1293 as a witness in a document from the Reichenbach monastery . The last representative of this family was another Konrad von Wetterfeld, who became a clergyman and accordingly remained without descendants. In 1316 he was given the parish of Roding by Bishop Nikolaus von Regensburg. The successors of the Wetterfelder were the K (Ch) adolsdorfer, a Rudolf the Chadolsdorfer is named 1308 as purchmann zu Weternvelt , on August 9th 1313 Rudiger and Walther the Chadelsdorfer are named.

In the house contract of Pavia dated August 4, 1329, Wetterfeld Castle came to the Palatinate line of the Wittelsbach family . On December 14, 1402, the king and former Count Palatine Ruprecht III. the castle hat to Wetterfeld to Altmann the Katzdorfer, who is proven as judge and caretaker to Wetterfeld from 1394 to 1400 . In 1438 Count Palatine Johann hands over the castle hat to Peter Pemflinger.

In addition to Wetterfeld Castle, the following are mentioned as further castle estates of Wetterfeld: In 1431 Peter Teufel received the castle hat of Wetterfeld, which Christian Harder previously held. In 1436, the Count Palatine Johann gave the Lienhard Kadolsdorfer house and castle hat to Wetterfeld with further affiliations. In 1440, Andreas Dörfinger was the keeper of the castle, who had received it from the late Eytzenreuter. In 1442 Peter Kepfelberger and his housewife Anna and their two “man heirs” were given the former castle property of the late Altmann Katzdorfer. According to a document from 1709, these castle estates were in the area of ​​Wetterfeld Castle.

In 1418 there were only two castle estates left at Wetterfeld. On April 25, 1499, Caspar Kepfelberger, son of the aforementioned Peter Kepfelberger, is proven as a Burgsasse. The castle property came to Martin Ziegler through the marriage of Barbara Kepfelberger. The other castle estate was owned by Hans Götlinger in the second half of the 15th century.

The castle estate of Hans Götlinger

After Hans Götlinger's death, his two sons, Balthasar and Christoph, who could not yet be vogged, inherited the castle estate. Linhard Leittner, Richter zu Wetterfeld, appeared as a fiefdom holder for them in 1476 and 1479. On December 27, 1485, Balthasar Götlinger confirmed to Count Palatine Otto II that he had received several parts of the fiefdom that had fallen to him through the death of his cousin Pankraz Göttlinger. On July 8, 1500, Christoph Götlinger issued the elector Philipp a lapel of fiefs that he had acquired from his brother Balthasar. In 1511 Balthasar Götlinger appears (presumably after his brother's death) as the sole owner of the castle estate. After Balthasar, who died without an heir, his fallen fiefdom was transferred to Hans Ott von Rohrbach on October 7, 1524. Since the latter has remained disobedient, the fiefdom was withdrawn from him and transferred in 1544 to the Palatinate secretary Georg Häckel by Count Palatine Friedrich II . In 1557 David Fuchs von Arnschwang became the owner on the way to purchase. His son Hans Christoph followed him in 1563; he could only after he had become vogtable on July 13, 1579 to the Elector Ludwig VI. issue the fiefdom lapel. After his death, he was followed by his son Hans Friedrich Fuchs zu Winklarn , who on February 21, 1606 was awarded the fief by Elector Friedrich IV . In 1628 he sold his possessions to his cousin Hans Georg von Weichs as part of the re-Catholicization .

In 1644, after the death of Hans Georg, his son Hans Jakob became his successor. Based on a comparison, the castle property was returned to Hans Christoph Fuchs in 1652. After his death († May 5, 1665) the fief that had become “apert” was awarded to Johann Georg Bordeis. He was last certified as castle guardian in 1680. In 1693 Franz Mathias von Mayern (or von May) and in 1696 his son Franz Joachim are entered in the registers of the Landsassen . In 1710 Johann Albrecht Pfaudtner, rent master of the cathedral chapter of Regensburg, is registered as Burgsasse. In 1737 the fief came to his sons Michael Anton, Joseph Anton Albrecht and Franz Joseph Benno Pfaundtner. In 1754 Franz von Paur and in 1758 his brother Johann Wolfgang were expelled as residents. On July 21, 1759, Johann Wolfgang von Paur reported that he found the Götling fiefs in "Chaos and Decay". After his death, his underage son, Franz Clement von Paur, succeeded him. For him the guardian and fiefdom holder was the regional court commissioner Joseph Benedict Mitterhofer.

Since Franz Clement von Paur had failed to name a judge on his castle estate, jurisdiction was transferred to the Roding District Court in 1811. His efforts to set up a patrimonial court here were refused in 1840.

The castle estate of the Kepfelsberger or Ziegler

The castle property of Caspar Kepfelberger came through his daughter Barbara Kepfelberger to Martin Ziegler, who on September 12, 1519 issued the feudal lapel to Count Palatine Friedrich and Ludwig . From this his sons Caspar, Hieronymus, Silvester, Hans and Balthasar inherited. In 1543, after the death of his brothers, Hans Ziegler became the sole owner. In 1544 he sold the castle property to Wolf Pilgel, a judge in Wetterfeld. In the same year he also acquired the castle estate of Berthold Mühlberger. The Wolf Pilgel was followed by his sons Paul, Gabriel, Kunz, Hans and Christoph. Paul Pilgel acted as fief carrier. After his death, his sons Hans Michael and Hans Georg succeeded him in 1577. In 1597 Hans Georg Pilgel was the sole owner and was enfeoffed with both castle estates by Elector Maximilian on October 27, 1628 . Since he did not want to give up his Lutheran faith, he had to emigrate to Regensburg († 1633). His converted son, Hans Joseph Pingel, became a feudal owner on June 28, 1655 through Elector Ferdinand Maria .

In 1661 Hans Joseph Pingel sold the two castle estates to Georg Wegele, tenant of the Stockenfels rulership . After his death, his son Johann Georg Wegele took over the inheritance in 1675. In 1683, Franz Mathias von May acquired the castle property in exchange for Berndorf near Burglengenfeld. He had also acquired the Götlingische castle estates. In 1696 his son Franz Joachim von May is listed in the register of the Landsassen. The next keeper of the castle was Johann Albrecht Pfaundtner, who sold it to Franz Karl von Asch zu Asch as early as 1707. He merged his estates at Wetterfeld into a fiefdom, which in 1709 became a country estate. After his death, on December 1, 1735, his heirs were enfeoffed with the Wetterfeld estate, for which his son, Father Karl Freiherr von Asch from Oberndorf and caretaker of Wetterfeld, was a fief. After his death, his son Ferdinand Ignaz Freiherr von Asch appeared as a fiefdom holder for his brothers and their children, according to the fiefdom of Elector Karl Theodor . On the way of marriage in 1807 the fiefdom came to Sebastian Freiherr von Schrenck. In 1819 he applied for the establishment of a second class patrimonial court in Wetterfeld. This was also approved for him in 1822. In 1848 the patrimonial jurisdiction was dissolved and passed to the state; the district court Roding was now responsible for the court holy men.
