history

The residential area of ​​Wingersdorf is divided into the actual village and a farm, which was first mentioned in 1109 as Stöckach and which belonged to the Catholic parish of Herrnsdorf until after 1950 , in contrast to Wingersdorf, which belongs to the Catholic parish of Sambach . There is also a Bartholomew Chapel named after the Apostle Bartholomew . In the entire village were the landlords: Frensdorf administration, the Bamberg cathedral chapter, the collegiate monastery of St. Jakob zu Bamberg, the Michaelsberg and St. Klara monasteries in Bamberg, the parish of Hirschaid, the Zollner von Brand , the von Schönborn , spoonholz von Colberg and the community itself .

The little castle

The history of this farm, which is also known under the name of Wingersdorfer Schlösschen, goes back to 1109, the landlords and owners are known until 1352. The heyday began with the sale to the Bamberg bookseller Tobias Göbhardt on October 26, 1778 for 2,800 guilders. Göbhardt, who also made his living as a reprinter from 1764 and was therefore known at the Leipzig trade fair , held public offices from 1770, such as police court assessor and city councilor. In the years 1778/1779 he built a building dominating the whole valley on the grounds of the manor.

After his death, the castle remained in the possession of the Göbhardt family until 1799, who later sold it to two members of the Winkler von Mohrenfels family . After frequent changes of ownership, the Göbhardt'sche Landhaus became the property of the Burkard family .

On New Year's Eve 1995 a fireworks rocket struck the empty castle. The resulting fire destroyed the roof structure and the extinguishing water left traces. Since straw was stored on the first floor and there was a risk of fire nests in the straw flaring up again, parts of the surrounding walls were demolished so that the straw could be carried outside more easily. The owner was unwilling and unable to save the fire ruins, and so the local council gave its approval for the baroque building to be demolished in 2002.
