history

The buildings date back to a castle from the year 1000. In 1285 this was expanded to form a fortress and, after a fire by Ferdinand Maria Franz Freiherr von Neuhaus, rebuilt as a four-winged castle around an inner courtyard in 1684–1715. The castle was the seat of the Hofmark Zangberg. A copper engraving by Michael Wening (early 18th century) shows the impressive building on a hill and the park. The most artistically important interiors, which have largely remained unchanged to this day, are the Princely Hall and the Ancestral Hall, in which concerts are occasionally held. [1]

In 1862, Carl Theodor Graf Geldern-Egmont sold the building to the Sisters of the Visitation of Mary, an order of the Salesian Sisters. 26 sisters, four novices and one candidate moved from Dietramszell to the new monastery. As the monastery of St. Joseph, it is owned by the sisters to this day. The monastery ran a secondary school for daughters (boarding school), the most famous student of which was probably Zita von Bourbon-Parma.

From 1941 the sisters had to leave the building for several years; they lived temporarily in the Villa Ortner (Schloss Geldern) in Palmberg. [2] A munitions factory was to be built in the confiscated monastery. For this purpose, forced laborers from Mettenheim were initially requested, later a separate camp was set up in Zangberg with around 60 prisoners, most of them skilled workers. As a non-independent camp, the Zangberg camp was assigned to the Mettenheim camp, a part of the Dachau KZ external command Mühldorf. The camp was officially mentioned for the first time shortly before the end of the war in March 1945. [3]

In September 1946, school operations could be resumed. [4] After the school was closed, its rooms now house the BSH Academy of BSH Hausgeräte GmbH (since 2000) and training rooms for Capgemini sd & m.
