history
Gleiß is the oldest evidence of settlement in the old Mark Ostarrîchi : June 15, 993, the later Emperor Otto III. a Sachso "three royal hooves in the place where the Slav Gluzo had started to live and clear and which was popularly called Gluzengisazi ('seat of Gluzo', Gleiß )." A Count Gero of Seeburg and Gleiß appears at the beginning of the 12th century, his son Wichmann († 1192) was an important politician as Archbishop of Magdeburg and advisor to Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa. He bequeathed the rule of Gleiß to the diocese of Passau , and Heinrich VI bought it at the end of the 14th century . von Walsee- Enns from the Wallseer family . In 1459 Gleiß was sold by Wolfgang V. von Walsee to Georg Gailspecker (von Gallspach ). Then the Eitzinger (also Eyczinger ) appear as owners, and in 1500 Oswald Schirmer. Baron Hofmann followed in 1542, in 1575 Gottfried von Scherfenberg was named as the owner, and in 1576 Daniel Strasser, known as the "Reiche Strasser". He was mayor and councilor of Steyr (Strasser family from / in Steyr). The rescue of the city of Steyr was largely made possible by Daniel Strasser, as he had the city rebuilt from his private assets after a devastating fire. By Emperor Ferdinand II he was enfeoffed with the rule of Gleiß in thanks. In 1605, the descendant Wolfgang Strasser Edler von und zu Gleiß - "for himself and his heirs" - also bought the Allhartsberg or Gleißer regional court from the owner of the Seisenegg estate , Johann von Greiffenberg. The castle is depicted around 1649 by the engraver Matthäus Merian . At this time the Geyer von Osterburg are the owners. The owner Anna Magdalena Geyer zu Osterburg was the granddaughter of Wolfgang Strasser von und zu Gleiß. Her remains, as well as those of her sister Dorothea, married Khöberin, can still be found in the parish church of Opponitz, which formerly belonged to the Gleiß reign. An epitaph of the nobles from and to Gleiß was found during excavations a few years ago and set into the church wall as a souvenir in Opponitz. They are followed by the Montecuccoli from 1665 to around 1700 . The Counts Orsini-Rosenberg are then lords of the castle until 1913 , interrupted from 1718 to 1760 by the Barons of Hoheneck. In 1806 the well-preserved castle was burned down by the French during the Second Napoleonic War . The castle was then not rebuilt and left to decay.
In 1913 Rudolf Freiherr Drasche-Wartinberg († September 28, 1931) came into possession of the ruin, and in 1934 the Kärntner Montanindustrie GmbH.
