Eberhard V of Walsee (also Eberhard III of Walsee-Linz. , Eberhard V./III of Walsee. * 1290, † 21st April 1371 ) from which Ministerialengeschlecht the Walseer , follower of Habsburg . Duke Albrecht II was, from 1322 to 1361 and from 1369 to 1371 district judge on the Enns . In the first half of the 14th century the designation Landrichter ob der Enns was gradually and finally permanently replaced by the title captain ob der Enns .

Life

Eberhard V. took over the state governorship from his father Eberhard IV von Walsee in 1322 and inherited him in 1325 as his only son.

In the summer of 1330, the Swabian family estates of the Walsee were sold, making them loyal followers of the Habsburgs permanently and exclusively in their territory. The new walseeischen possessions Falkenstein Castle , Castle Waxenberg (since 1331), Castle Freudenstein (since 1333) and Schloss Ottensheim (1331-1461) limited the county Schaubergwerk favor of the influence of Walseer and Habsburg towards north. Ownership acquisitions in the Trattnachtal also thwarted the efforts of the Schaunbergers to establish a closed connection between their main property and that in Attergau .

Possessions

Throughout his life, Eberhard V. increased the inherited property through continuous purchases in the Upper and Lower Austria area .

Eberhard V. founded two monasteries, in 1336 the former Cistercian Abbey of Stift Säusenstein , where he is buried, and in 1355 the Schlierbach Monastery .

family

Eberhard's first marriage to Elisabeth von Gutrat , which was concluded in 1304, remained childless. In 1321 at the latest he married Anna von Losenstein († 1355), who gave birth to two sons and a daughter. However, Eberhard V. had to witness the deaths of his two adult sons Eberhard († 1351) and Heinrich († 1352). Around 1360 Eberhard married again at the age of around 70, namely Floringa von Pettau , who gave birth to his longed-for son, Georg von Walsee († 1400/01), and two daughters.
