Act

Gravestone of Caspar I Pfäffinger in the church of Salmanskirchen

Pfäffinger held the position of carer in Neumarkt an der Rott in 1429 , was a member of the estates of the Lower Bavarian Duchy of Landshut as well as Hereditary Marshal in Bavaria and provost of the Inn Bridge to Passau from 1433 to 1443 . He is referred to several times in documents as Herr auf Deutenkofen, Salmanskirchen and zum Steeg, although Steeg, actually the seat of the Wilhelmine line, was attributed to him, perhaps out of polite exaggeration. He describes himself as "Hereditary Marshal in (Lower) Bavaria" and is also called that in documents, although at that time his cousin Johannes II and later his son, Caspar's nephew, Johannes III. Pfäffinger also holds this title. This title can be found mainly in those documents that he seals or issues together with one of them.

The Pfäffinger to Salman churches established in his lifetime the Duke Henry XVI., The rich of Bavaria-Landshut , four horses for military service. This is impressive evidence of the wealth and importance of the family at this time.

Caspar was appointed to the ducal court and appears in this function as a "judge" (judge). On Tuesday, August 12, 1438, the "Erichtag after sand Laurenczen day", Caspar I. Pfäffinger zu Salmanskirchen was himself a party to the dispute and, together with his comrade and cousin, Johannes II. Pfäffinger zum Steeg, and their opponents, Dechant Joachim dem Gluenmel, including the chapter on Altötting, issued a dispute settlement document. The "error", that is, the dispute, concerned a so-called "perpetual money", a kind of tithe , from a farm. The church claimed it for itself, the two Pfäffingers considered to be theirs by feudal law. Through the mediation of other nobles, an amicable and pragmatic agreement was reached: the dean was allowed to continue to collect the money for his chapter, in return the church rendered a service that corresponds to it: annual services were agreed to be held for the salvation of the Pfäffingers. This certificate is therefore an interesting testimony to the values ​​in the life of people in the late Middle Ages.

Life

Coat of arms of the Pfäffinger

Caspar was born before 1409 and probably in Salmanskirchen near Ampfing in Bavaria as the eldest son of Wilhelm II. Pfäffinger († 1449), whom he followed as Lord of the Hofmark, and Ursula von Neipperg.

In 1421 he was knighted. At his request Pope granted towards Martin V (1417-1431) of the Church of Salman churches more drain privileges that are still in Heiltumsbuch his grandson Degenhart Pfäffinger find.

Caspar is buried in the church "Zu den Zwei Johannes" in Salmanskirchen, where a very simple, almost naive tombstone made of red marble (1.67 m high, 0.72 m wide, inscription in Gothic minuscule) on the southern wall , to the right of that of Gentiflor reminded of him: "Here Casper pfaffing eribmarschalch died in bairn is anno dni m cccc l v". The tomb also bears the coats of arms of the Perkhofer (bottom left) and the Trennbeck (bottom right).

He is also immortalized on the gravestone placed by his two wives in the same church (also red marble, 1.92 m high, 0.94 m wide, inscription also in Gothic minuscule): "Here is Caspar Pfaffinger Erbmarschalch i bairn and (Catharina sein housewife die gest) arbn is on sand dyonisytag m cccc xxvi Ano dni m cccc liii elspet Pfaffingerin died on sad valtinstag ".

Marriage and offspring

His first marriage was to Catherina Pellkofer von Hohenbuchbach († October 9, 1426). However, this marriage remained childless.

In his second marriage in 1429 he married Elisabeth von Trennbeck (also Trennbach ) zu Waldberg (* August 19, 1411, † February 14, 1453), a daughter of Johann von Trennbeck . He had twelve children with her, eight of whom died in childhood. The following children are known by name:

- Veronica († June 18, 1477 Passau, Bavaria) ⚭ Georg I von Herzheim (* before 1444; † April 4, 1480)
- Sybille (also Biblis ; † 1469), nun of the Benedictine nuns in Nuremberg
