View of Burg Thann
Highlight • Viewpoint
The castle was built in the 12th century by the Reichsministerialen von Thann with their headquarters in Altenthann. In 1160 a knight from Thann was first mentioned on the Göckelsberg.
The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1287, after the Thanners had probably died out. Duke Ludwig of Bavaria, King Rudolf I., Burgrave Friedrich III. von Nuremberg and others mentioned. From 1346 the castle was the seat of a Hohenzollern care office.
In 1381, the robber baron Eppelein von Gailingen, known in Franconia, was imprisoned in the castle for one night before he was handed over to the Neumarkt executioner.
The castle was destroyed in the Bavarian War in 1460 and rebuilt in 1463. In 1635, during the Thirty Years' War, imperial troops destroyed the south-east wing of the castle. In 1648 it was plundered by Swedish troops and rebuilt after 1652. After the caretaker office was relocated in 1792, the castle passed through various owners, fell into disrepair and was used as a quarry.
The first security measures took place from 1968 and were continued on a large scale in 1988 by the municipality of Burgthann.
