Life

The first proven barons of those von Hausen came from Gleisdorf northeast of Graz in Styria in the 17th century , which was later expanded in the name to Gleichersdorf or Gleichensdorf or Gleichenstorff . However, the family seat and birthplace of Franz Anton Josef von Hausen-Gleichenstorff was Mammertshofen Castle in the municipality of Roggwil in the canton of Thurgau on the southern shore of Lake Constance . He entered the service of the church or was ordained a priest - according to the only partially preserved inscription on his grave monument - on October 28, 1733.

Franz Anton Josef Freiherr von Hausen-Gleichenstorff died on March 6, 1780 and found his final resting place under a stone grave slab next to his grave monument in the collegiate church in Berchtesgaden.

Act

Lustheim Palace, around 1909

Although only a small, highly indebted “ Duodezfürst ” right from the start, the imperial envoy Count Starhemberg and Bavarian Baron von Hofmühlen's representative were present at his election . During the term of office and reign of the Prince Provost Franz Anton Josef von Hausen-Gleichenstorff, the monastery’s debts grew to 300,000 guilders , the current debts to 100,000 guilders.

On the Sulzberg in the Gnotschaft Oberschönau he built a "cute" castle called "Lustheim", where he spent most of his life and died there on March 6, 1780. Destroyed and demolished for any other use during the Nazi era in 1938, the mountain cemetery maintained by the Berchtesgaden Cemetery Association is today on the grounds of the castle , where the majority of Berchtesgaden's citizens are buried.
