Object history

Deutsch: Der Stufengiebel aus schwarzen Steinen ist die redende Schildfigur der 1599 ausgestorbenen Herren von Schwarzenstein, die als Orts- und Burgherren von Fürstenstein und Englburg in der Geschichte der Gemeinde von 1474 bis 1597 und als Inhaber hoher bayerischer und fürstbischöflich-passauischer Ämter eine wichtige Rolle spielten. Von den Schwarzensteinern ging der schwarze Stufengiebel im Wappen 1602 an deren Rechtsnachfolger und Teilerben, die Freiherren von Taufkirchen, über.

English: The gable, consisting of 13 black bricks ordered 1:2:3:4:3 had been the canting heraldic symbol of the Lords of Schwarzenstein. The kin played an important role between 1474 and 1597 as local rulers of Fürstenstein and Englburg. They had been in service of the Dukes of Bayern and the Bishops of Passau. After the kin had died out in 1599, the gable became a part of the arms of Barons of Taufkirchen, their successors.
