The founders of the castle are the Thierlinger people, who also gave it its name. They were originally ministerials of the Margraves of Cham, but with the death of the Counts of Bogen in 1242, the Thierlingers became Bavarian.
Thierlstein Castle was only built around 1360 under the name Lichtenstein. The name refers to the bright quartz rock on which the castle stands; it is part of the Pfahl, a 150 kilometer long quartz vein that is also found in Weißenstein.
