Wetterfeld Castle Ruins As early as 1118, Gottfried von Wetterfeld appears as an influential ministerialis (unfree knight) of the Diepoldings, the powerful Margraves of Cham and Vohburg. He seems to have maintained good relations with many monasteries, especially Reichenbach Abbey—no wonder, since Abbot Reginboto was his brother. Numerous donations to various monasteries by Gottfried are documented, a widespread practice among knights to secure their salvation. In a donation from 1155, Heinrich is even mentioned as an imperial ministerialis, which demonstrates the family's rapid political rise. In 1179, Karl and Heinrich "de Weterinfeld" appear, after which the family disappears from the historical record. It is not until 1268 that we hear of a Deinhardus, who is now subject to the Bavarian dukes; perhaps they lost their independence with the inheritance of the Hohenstaufen dynasty. From 1283 onward, the Wittelsbachs sent judges to Wetterfeld. Ducal ministeriales from the surrounding area succeeded in office: Hauzendorfer, Katzdorfer, Zenger, and others. In 1322, it was pledged to the Chamerau family. In 1329, Wetterfeld came under the control of the Palatine line of the Wittelsbachs, who also appointed judges. In 1410, it passed to the sub-principality of Neumarkt-Neunburg, with the Degenberger, Nothaft, and Zenger families, among others, serving as administrators. During the Hussite raids of 1428 and 1433, the castle was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt. A unique feature of Wetterfeld is the four "castle guards"—four legally independent building complexes within the castle, which were granted separately—making the ownership situation quite complex. In 1621, during the Thirty Years' War, the Upper Palatinate, including Wetterfeld, came under the rule of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria. Later in the war, Wetterfeld was destroyed twice by the Swedes and subsequently rebuilt. But the castle and its buildings continued to deteriorate, and the administrators increasingly relocated their offices outside the castle. In 1812, the administrative office was moved to Roding, the castle grounds were subdivided, and private houses were built over. Wetterfeld is a moated castle—a branch of the Regen River bordered the complex to the northeast. The still clearly visible, deep, walled moat could be filled with sluice gates in case of attack. Essentially, only the large gate tower, built of rubble stone with corner quoins, remains. Its upper, habitable floors make it a variation of the late medieval residential tower.

Very beautiful summit without a view.

Beautiful old bridge over the Regen.

Beautiful little chapel on the Stations of the Cross.

The NATO listening post located here, the so-called Signals Sector F, was decommissioned in 2004. In addition to members of the German Armed Forces, US units were stationed there until 1992, and French units until 1994. It consisted of two towers and a complex passive reception and listening system. Since autumn 2014, the 75-meter-high main tower has been equipped with an external steel staircase and a 50-meter-high observation platform, and is open to the public as an observation tower during certain visiting hours.
