Zeidlerschloss with stairs in Feucht

The Zeidlerschloss , also called the castle in the Carthusian Pond, is one of three surviving castles of the Nuremberg patriciate in Feucht , along with the Pfinzingschloss and the Tucherschloss . The castle has been owned by the Feucht market since 1976. In 2009/2010 the castle was extensively renovated and an extension was added for fire protection reasons. It is used for events and the Feucht market rents it out for family celebrations and celebrations.

The palace garden may not be entered when it is dark.

Since April 1996 a Klapotetz , a rattling wind turbine typical of the southern Styrian partner community Leutschach (see picture), has graced the garden of the castle.

history

Zeidlerschloss with Klapotetz

In 1427, the Nuremberg citizen Burckard Peßler acquired the imperial fiefdoms, including the so-called Carthusian pond of the indebted Hutt family. Immediately afterwards, the rich merchant began building a mansion in the Carthusian Pond. This became clear in 1428 when the council of the imperial city of Nuremberg demanded the customary assurance from Peßler that the pond house, which was under construction, should only be sold to Nuremberg citizens or to the council itself. This condition was remembered in the late 15th century when the Peßler leased the right of residence to Konrad Konhofer, pastor of St. Lorenz, and the Nuremberg citizen Schuler. In 1480, after an inheritance, Steffan Peßler took over the manor and the other Feuchter properties from the family. In 1503 he sold the manor house in the pond, a half-timbered construction on a massive base floor, with all ancillary buildings and the bathing room, two Zeidel Muttergütergüter , the mill, which had been converted into a brass hammer mill, and the manorial rights over 13 properties to Katharina Harsdorffer, wife of Fabian Harsdorffer . The timing turned out to be quite unfortunate for the buyer, because a year later the place and the seat were burned down in the Landshut War of Succession .

Katharina Harsdorffer died in 1508, her husband followed in 1519, whereupon the inheritance fell to Gabriel and Katharina Vorteilel , daughter of Katharina Harsdorffer from her first marriage to Nikolaus Groß . The couple is said to have rebuilt the manor around 1519. The property was sold by the heirs of Nikolaus Vorteilel in 1535 to Christoph Mordeisen, who in 1539 took Brigitte Vorteilel as his wife. In 1543 Mordeisen sold all properties and rights to the brothers Hieronymus and Ludwig Schnöd.

During the Second Margrave War , the manor house sank to rubble and ashes on May 16, 1552. However, the Schnöd brothers had already sold the property to the Nuremberg Council in 1550, so that the imperial city had to bear this damage. In 1556 the fire ruin with the associated properties and rights was given to the then councilor Dr. A gift to Christoph Gugel , but with the condition that the seat be repaired. The current stock is largely due to the construction work of Dr. Cowl back.

After the builder's death in 1577, the daughter Maria Salome Tucher took over the seat after an inheritance dispute . In 1594, son-in-law and nephew Philipp Jakob Tucher inherited, who was in a lot of trouble with the council, the margravial office of Burgthann , mainly because of the planned expansion of the hammer and mill works and negotiated several neighbors. Before 1616 Tucher sold to the margrave caretaker and provost administrator of Solnhofen , Philipp Jakob Grötsch, who had married Jakobina Welser . This marriage connection should have made it easier for the margravial official to acquire ownership. However, in 1616 he had to grant the imperial city the right of first refusal for Nuremberg citizens and the right to open the imperial city in the event of war.

As early as 1626 the manor was changed to a Christoph Adam Holbeck, who immediately afterwards sold it to Georg Christoph Örtel and his wife Maria, née Haller . In 1649, the Nuremberg councilor Dr. Justin Hardesheim bought the castle in the Carthusian Pond from the daughters of Örtel, who died in 1633. The lawyer was followed in 1660 by the patrician Hans Wilhelm Schlüsselfelder ; his heirs sold the seat in 1680 to the Nuremberg citizen Johann Andreas Waldmann.

The history of ownership remained very eventful: Waldmann was soon followed by Georg Hannibal Braun, then in 1695 by Christof Gottlieb Löffelholz . Until 1747 the castle had eight more changes of ownership, until it was finally sold by the Nuremberg citizen and Hessian court councilor Andreas Philipp König in 1747 to the instructor Johann Konrad Schneider. The lawyer kept the Weiherhaus until his death. In 1779 it passed to Heinrich Kühnlein, with whom a period of rapid change occurred again. Again the seat was an object of speculation several times until it came to Georg Christoph von Oelhafen in 1804 . If a predecessor had already sold some parts of the property, it was completely demolished in 1806/07 until only the manor house with one acre of garden remained. The Carthusian pond was drained and filled up. The small remaining property was acquired by Johann Georg Heerdegen in 1809, shortly afterwards by the Oelhafen family again, and then by Christoph Wilhelm von Volckamer in 1818 .

In 1842 the master mason Simon Wild bought the manor house. Under his son, a neighboring stable with a courtyard was purchased in 1860 and an agricultural business was set up. It was bought as an agricultural property in 1887 by Paulus Gutmann from Schwabach , from whom it was passed on to Georg and Maria Hausner via Johann Humann. After that, the history of ownership was quieter again. The Hausner family kept the manor house until 1976, when it was acquired by Markt Feucht.

Building description

The manor house built around 1560 was a typical Nuremberg pond house . The massive building made of sandstone blocks stood in the water and could only be reached via a drawbridge . A description from 1709 lists three floors, with only a "writing room" being located on the ground floor in addition to a storage cellar and a vault. The rooms and chambers as well as a kitchen each were set up on the two upper floors. An inner and an outer economy courtyard with two Voith houses stood in the forecourt in front of the Carthusian pond.
