location

Sketch of the location of Ipf Castle by local researcher Franz Brosch

According to an assumption, the castle was located southwest of the village of Kristein , today a district of Enns , on the Kristeinerbach (former name Kleiner Ipfbach ). According to a second assumption, the sought-after seat should be located near the village of Ipfdorf in the cadastral municipality of Raffelstetten von Asten; Here a mountain-like structure could be found, which, however, has since been leveled. A third possibility refers to the Ipfmühle and the neighboring property Mayer in der Ipf in the Hargelsberg community .

Ipf Castle was abandoned in the 13th century.

The family of the lords of Ipf

The lords of Ipf were among the oldest families in the land above the Enns . Hiltiperht de Ipphe is the first to appear in 1112 in a document from Bishop Ulrich von Passau . Other members of the Ipf family are Perhtoldus de Ipfe (documented between 1120 and 1128), Gerhoch de Iphe (1120–1135), Meinhart der Ippha (1137–1160) and Udalrich de Ippha (1137–1170). Udalrich and his mother Hiltegardis donated several goods from Ipfdorf near Asten to the Garsten monastery . Bruno de Ipphe (Yphe) appears as the last of this sex between 1179 and 1200.

The Ipfer mostly appear on documents of the Diocese of Passau , but they are also named as ministerials of the Margraves of Steyr and the Dukes of Bavaria.

Ipf among the Zierbergers and Lohnstorfern

The latter Bruno de Ipphe is equated with Bruno von Zierberg (Pruno de Zierberch). His brother Warmund von Zierberg (named from 1180) seems to have only lived on Zierberg . In 1195 this Warmundus de Cierberhe was named together with Otto von Ro (h) r with the honorary title Dominus , when Duke Ludwig of Bavaria confirmed a donation to Ranshofen Monastery in what is now Bad Hall . After 1200, neither Bruno nor Warmund are mentioned anymore, so they could have died at this time. It was not until 1224 that an Ulrich von Zierberg was named and named in a fiefdom letter from the Duke of Bavaria as the son of Brunos von Zierberg. This Ulrich was a servant of the Babenbergs . Ulrich was followed by Zierberg by Meinhard Tröstel , without this sequence being able to be justified precisely in relation to the family; perhaps his wife Kunigunde (Chunigunde) was the heir to Ulrich von Zierberg. Then in 1272 Ipf came to the Siboto von Lonstorf , who had inherited this inheritance through his wife, Meinhard Tröstel's heir daughter and his first wife Kunigunde von Zierberg.

It seems that after the establishment of the fortress Zierberg the old seat at Ipf was closed and Zierberg Castle became the center of the possessions of the Ipfer and the later Zierberger and Lohnstorfer in the Kremstal .
