Place name interpretation

The wasteland is named after the former Wielandstein Castle , at whose feet it lies.

history

The Wielandshöfe are likely to have developed from the economic courtyard of Wielandstein Castle, which was abandoned by its owners, the Wieland von Wielandstein, around 1340/50 and soon afterwards was abandoned. The courtyards were at least partially, most recently in the 19th century, built and supplemented with stone material from the castle ruins. Initially owned by Lechsgemünd-Graisbach , they became Wittelsbach when the Graisbachers died out in 1342 . From the 16th century they belonged to the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg and from the late 17th century to the Hochstift Eichstätt , where they were subordinate to the Konstein Care Office. When the Hochstift Eichstätt fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century as a result of secularization , the Wielandshöfe with the village of Aicha and the church village of Konstein were combined to form the Konstein tax district , which with the municipal dictates of 1811 and 1818 became an independent municipality in the Swabian regional court Monheim was.

On October 1, 1857, the municipality of Konstein and the Wielandshöfen, which at that time were inhabited by 18 people, moved to the Eichstätt Regional Court and Rent Office (later Eichstätt District Office). In 1867 there are five buildings and 16 residents. In the course of the territorial reform, Konstein was incorporated with the Wielandshöfen and Aicha on May 1, 1978 after Wellheim in the enlarged, now Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt.

In 1950 the two Wielandshöfe were inhabited by 26, 1961 by eleven, 1973 by eight and 1983 by six people.

Church conditions

The Wielandshöfe have always belonged to the Catholic parish of Wellheim in the diocese of Augsburg . During the Protestant phase of Pfalz-Neuburg, the Wieland farms were under the reformed parish of Ensfeld ; around 1600, however, Konstein had his own predicant .

At the Wielandshöfen, on the opposite side of the state road, there is an 18th century chapel as a rectangular saddle roof building. In the area near the chapel there are evidence of medieval and early modern findings.

Burgstall "Old House"

About 350 meters south-south-west of the Wielandshöfe, at the confluence of the Spindel valley, is the conical Fuchsfelsen, which slopes steeply on its northern side. The small plain behind the rock was secured against the hinterland by a ditch and a ring wall made of field stones. Two cisterns can be seen within the area . It is no longer possible to see which buildings stood here; as early as 1594 this castle stable is referred to as an "old house". Castle researcher Helmut Rischert mentions the Burgstall as the predecessor of the Wielandstein.
