Clam-Martinic (also Clam-Martiniz or Count von Clam-Martinitz, Freiherrn von Höhenberg ) is the name of an old Austrian noble family who were related to the extinct noble family Clam-Gallas , the so-called "younger line" of the Counts of Clam.

history

The Counts of Clam are an old family that belonged to the ancient nobility of the Archbishopric of Salzburg .

Originally they were called Perger , after the hamlet of Berg near Henndorf near Salzburg. In the Duchy of Carinthia , the Perger with Höhenbergen Castle near Völkermarkt are said to have been wealthy, but not rural, and are documented as early as 1209. Bartlme Perger von Höhenbergen is said to have been the last agnat in Carinthia. The Perger appear in a document on February 2, 1297, owned by the man fief Adelhohstat near Seekirchen am Wallersee .

In 1382 and later until 1396, Örtel, Heinz, Chätzel, Lucas and Hans had Perger service contracts with Salzburg to participate in various campaigns. Ulrich der Perger was judge in Neuötting from 1357 to 1363 , Heinrich der Perger documents 1368 and 1371 in Carniola. In 1387 Friedreich der Perger , the Duke's hunter master in Lower Bavaria , sold goods in the Rottal (Bavaria) . Here uncertificated Hans of Perger , judges Ötting, as a witness. Sigmund Perger, documented 1405–1429, and Hans Perger, 1422, appear in Bamberg fiefdoms in Carinthia . Achaz Perger documented 1406–1415 as burgrave of Lochental, also in 1446 against Hungary with Jörg Perger. Franz Perger is mentioned in documents from the St. Paul Abbey in Carinthia in 1440 . Perger can also be found as citizens of Völkermarkt in Carinthia in 1498, 1535 and 1580. The genealogist Friedrich Graf Lanjus von Wellenburg (1888–1940) concluded in 1931: "One can conclude from this that the Perger originally came from Carinthia and belonged to those" traveling knights "belonged to, who, too little wealthy at home, sought their advancement in the service of foreign masters."

The family later settled in Austria above the Enns .

The documented line of trunks begins with the noble and fortress Stephan Perger, Mr. Conrad Perger's son (documented 1484; † November 16, 1521), who is said to have come from Carinthia , descended from Schlösschen Höhenperg (Höhenbergen near Völkermarkt ). He was in Austria above the Enns first of his race there mentioned in documents. His epitaph , adorned with the Perger family coat of arms, is in the parish church of St. Pantaleon . He was married to Catharina Apfalterin .

The wealthy Ladislaus Prager rarely stayed in his little Windhag castle , but mostly lived in the castles of Freistadt and Enns or in his townhouses in Vienna and Linz . He gave Windhag on 20 November 1504 the noble Stephan Perger at some time in care . In 1504 Stephan Perger had not only taken care of Windhag but also received the seat in Aich, including the court building and the Tiemühle near Zeil, for usufruct from Laßla Prager, his compatriot .

Stephan Perger was also the caretaker of Siegmund and Heinrich Prüschenk, the ancestor of the later Counts of Hardegg in the Lower Mühlviertel in Upper Austria , who had acquired the Clam rule in 1493 . Stephan became the progenitor of the Clam-Martinic and Clam-Gallas families. After Baron von Hohenegg, he owned the St. Panthaleon estate not far from Strengberg as early as 1510.

In 1524, his son Christoph Perger was able to purchase the “Castle and Veste Clam including the tower” , which his family has owned for 70 years, from the Prüschenk, Count of Hardegg, as a fief . He was married to Walburga von Noppingen , the last of her sex. From this time on, the family carried the name “Noble gentlemen from and to Clam”, but at the same time retained the older predicate name “von Höchenperg”.

Christoph Perger I († 1534) was followed by Christoph Perger II († 1581), his son Hanns Enoch Perger († 1617) and grandson Johann Gottfried Perger (1598–1673). 1640 was this by Emperor Ferdinand III. bestowed the title Noble Lord to Clam . In 1642 the fiefdom of Clam was bought into the ownership of the family , which subsequently omitted its original name Perger . On November 22, 1655 Johann Gottfried (1598–1673) was raised to the baron status, whereupon he converted to the Catholic faith. He was the husband of Baroness Anna Sibylla nee von Kageneck (1602–1662), through whom he became the father of twelve children.

Lady Selina Meade

On November 17, 1759, Empress Maria Theresa granted the family the status of imperial count . The rise in status affected five brothers, of whom the older, Johann Gottlieb, and the fourth, Johann Christoph, reproduced the family. The family was thus divided into the older and the younger line: Clam-Martinic and Clam-Gallas .

FML Karl Johann from Clam-Martinic

Clam-Martinic line

The older line was founded by Johann Gottlieb (* February 15, 1730, † July 5, 1793). He was married to Caroline Countess von Desfours (born October 29, 1731). Her only son, Carl Joseph (born September 4, 1760; † September 26, 1826), married Countess Maria Anna Borita von Martinitz (born June 29, 1768 in Prague ). She was the daughter of Count Franz Karl von Martinitz (born September 6, 1733) and Countess Marie Josefa von Sternberg (born November 20, 1746) and the last offspring of this old family who was raised to the rank of imperial count in 1623.

In the course of the marriage, the property and the coats of arms of the Austrian noble family of the Counts of Clam and the Bohemian noble family of the Counts of Martinic were merged . The family has been using the name Clam-Martinic since November 2, 1792, when it was conferred by the Herbländisch-Austrian family in Vienna. On November 9, 1792, the elevation to the Bohemian gentry took place .

The Clam-Martinic line also took over the old family estate of Burg Clam , which they still own today. Carl Joseph's marriage had five children, three sons and two daughters. The eldest son Karl Johann Nepomuk (* May 23, 1792; † January 29, 1840 in Vienna ) was an Imperial and Royal Lieutenant Field Marshal (rank of November 26, 1837). He was with Lady Selina (* May 2, 1792; † August 29, 1872 in Ertischowitz ), daughter of Richard Meade, 2nd Count of Clanwilliam and Maria Karoline Countess of Thun and Hohenstein (* May 10, 1769; † 8. August 1800 in Vienna), married. His older son Heinrich Jaroslaw (1826-1887), a Bohemian-national politician who was married to Augusta Aloisia Maria Altgräfin zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Raitz (* November 5, 1833, † June 11, 1891), gained recognition .

On April 18, 1861, the Counts of Clam-Martinic became hereditary members of the manor house of the Austrian Imperial Council and have since been counted among the Austrian nobility.

Heinrich Jaroslaw's grandson, the son of his younger son Richard (* March 12, 1832, † November 15, 1891 in Smečno ) from his marriage to Maria Ludovica Sophia, Countess of Bombelles (* July 29, 1836 in Schönbrunn; † May 10, 1921 in Prague), namely Count Heinrich Karl Maria von Clam-Martinic (1863–1932), major general a. D. (rank of April 12, 1918) and Austrian Prime Minister. He was married to Anna Maria Franziska Theodora, Countess of Abensperg and Traun (born November 12, 1875 in Petronell, † August 2, 1956 at Clam Castle); the connection remained childless.

The Clam Castle is now in the 23rd generation of the family, currently owned by Carl Philip Clam-Martinic, a trained mechanical engineer and forester. He took over the inheritance in 2003 and took over the management of estate management and ancillary operations, after having worked as a marketing manager in Hong Kong in the watch industry for two years . A total of almost 500 hectares of land and forest area belong to the castle, which are used for agriculture and forestry and are leased. A hydropower plant that generates green energy for 200 households is also operated.

Clam-Gallas line

The younger line was founded by Johann Christoph (* July 11, 1702; † April 1, 1778), who since September 15, 1745 with Countess Aloisia Colonna von Völs (Fels) (* January 11, 1714; † June 1 1782) was married. Her son Christian Philipp (born April 29, 1748 - † February 8, 1805) was appointed by his uncle, the last Count Philipp Joseph von Gallas, who died in 1757, to inherit his large estates in Bohemia and took a concession from August 29th with the imperial kk 1768 names and coats of arms of those from Gallas. With the death of his great-grandson Franz Graf Clam-Gallas (1854–1930), the Clam-Gallas line in the male line became extinct. His marriage to Maria von Hoyos-Sprinzenstein had seven daughters.

The Counts of Gallas were a family originally from Italy who had come to large estates in Bohemia with Matthias Gallas (1588–1647), Imperial Lieutenant General in the Thirty Years War , Imperial Count since 1632 and Duke of Lucera since 1635 . His grandson was Johann Wenzel von Gallas , Duke of Lucera, Oberstlandmarschall of the Kingdom of Bohemia, imperial administrator of the Duchy of Limburg and most recently Viceroy of Naples, son of Franz Ferdinand von Gallas and Katharina Barbara, née Countess von Martinic (1645-1670).
