Wilhelm von Hofkirchen (around 1529; † 1584)

Wilhelm von Hofkirchen attended the Viennese landscape school ; one of his classmates was the later imperial colonel and Austro-Hungarian general Hans Rueber zu Pixendorf (1529–1584). In 1564 the Drösiedl house, including the village, the Meierhof and the grounds, fiefs of the emperor and the Melk monastery , were given to him by his brother Hanns von Hofkirchen for 3,000 Rhenish guilders. In 1567 he was enfeoffed by Abbot Urban I. Perntaz († 1587) with further rights of the Melk Abbey.

Hofkirchen was from 1559 to 1562 a decree of the gentry, from 1565 General Land-Obrist in Lower Austria and fought against the Turks in Hungary from 1566 to 1569 . Under Maximilian II (1527–1576) he was Court War Councilor and Privy Councilor and under Rudolph II (1552–1612) President of the Court War Council.

The Jud zu Hofkirchen family originally comes from Hofkirchen near Reuth in Lower Bavaria . In addition to Kollmitz and Drösiedl, Wilhelm von Hofkirchen owned, among other things, the dominions Guttenbrunn , Aigen , Harmannsdorf , Mühlbach and the castles Seebarn and (from 1565) Vösendorf . With Count Ulrich II. Von Hardegg († 1604) on Glatz and in Marchlande as a Brandenburg fiefdom in Austria, he negotiated about the bestowal of the barons of Reifenstein and Araburg, and Wolfgang II after the death of his brother-in-law Adam von Pögl († 1575) from Liechtenstein-Nikolsburg (1536–1585) to Wülfersdorf's fallen Brandenburg fiefdom around Neusiedl an der Zaya .

In the year of his death in 1584, Hofkirchen bought Liechtenstein Castle and Mödling Castle from the family of his late brother-in-law Baron Andreas von Pögl (1521–1565) ; Both lordships were offered by Hofkirche's heirs, Emperor Rudolf II, for pledge redemption, and in 1592 they were left to Hans Graf Khevenhüller-Frankenburg zu Aichelberg (1538–1606).

Hofkirchen and his wife Eva were buried in a magnificent grave (designed around 1600) in the parish church of Aigen .

Promoter of Protestantism

Hofkirchen appointed Martin Regulus (1525–1577) to be his evangelical court preacher in Vienna. After the expulsion of the Protestant preachers Mag. Josua Opitz (1542–1585), Mag. Johann Tettelbach the Elder. J. (1546 – ​​after 1586), Michael Hugo († after 1584) and the Preceptor Mag. Paul Sesser († after 1596) left the city in June 1578 in the courtyard of his Viennese Freihaus in Seilergasse (no. 1089, old No. 1155, later “Göttweiger Hof”, today Spiegelgasse 9 / corner Göttweihergasse) secretly hold Protestant services in which children were also baptized. Hofkirchen tried to keep the Göllersdorf pastor Mag. Wilhelm Friedrich Lutz (1551–1597), who held these forbidden services, as a preacher in Vienna. However, this was denied him by Archduke Ernst (1553–1595). When the Archduke on September 28, 1578 “ with great anger ” promised him “ Your [o] M [ajestät] highest disgrace ”, Hofkirchen replied that he “ wöll ... hereby gave up his service, because he would more obedience to God Almighty I owe you to the people ”. Archduke Ernst replied, “ Because he prefers his predicant to the Kayserl. Maj. So he may only move on until they will send for him again ”. Hofkirchen left the city of Vienna with his family on the same day.

Hofkirchen then hired Lutz as the successor to the exiled Johann (Hanns) Behem (* 1549) to supply his castle community in Vösendorf and the surrounding villages. In 1580 five Protestant preachers were under the protection of the Hofkirche, including Rudolph Michael in Vösendorf and Paul Binder (* 1542) in Puch (Buch) near Waidhofen an der Thaya .
