Edelfrei from Maisach
The noble free von Maisach were a high medieval noble noble family that appeared around Maisach in the 11th and 12th centuries .
history
A de nobilibis Meginhard von Maisaha is mentioned between 1078 and 1098 as a witness in the traditions of the Hochstift Freising . A Meginhard von Maisach also appears in these sources between 1123 and 1165 , probably the son of the first named Meginhard .
Between 1104 and 1172 a Udalschalk von Maisach is mentioned several times , who appears in full armor in Augsburg around 1130 and enters the St. Ulrich and Afra monastery . When he joined, he gave the monks an estate in Oberumbach as a morning gift and gave an unnamed son to the monastery, presumably the later abbot Heinrich of this monastery. Since then, the monastery has owned land in Maisach, which was only sold between 1752 and 1788 on account of debt. This donation includes a Meginhard (II.) , An Arnis with an unnamed brother and a Hartwich from this family . In addition to the Arnis , a Walchuon de Maisaha is mentioned several times in 1130 and 1189/90 .
An Eberhard von Maisach donated a property in Maisach to the Weihenstephan monastery between 1162 and 1172 . He and his son of the same name often appear in the wake of the Counts of Andechs , so that one can infer a vassal relationship . Shortly before 1190, the names of the Maisacher ceased to exist ; from this it was concluded that they had joined the crusade under Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa and like many Bavarian noblemen had moved to the Holy Land and never returned.
Heinrich (II.) Von Maisach was abbot in St. Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg from 1175 to 1178 . He wrote poems and a chronicle of the monastery in the Leonic hexameter (6-lever meter, consisting of internal rhymes). In this he advocates the freedom of the monastery from the Augsburg bishop , since the Afra cult would have existed before the diocese. Heinrich obtained from Pope Alexander III. a document for his monastery with which the monastery and its possessions were placed under apostolic protection. The monastery is also granted free burial rights and the unhindered reception of clergy and lay people. A land register that was created in his time lists free float in 222 settlements in Bavaria, Swabia and South Tyrol amounting to 450 Hufen .
The heirs of the Maisacher were the lords of Weilheim , who owned properties here in the 13th century. They also have the lead name Eberhard , from which one can conclude that an heir daughter of the Maisacher was married to the Weilheimers . When the high free of Weilheim died out, the property fell to King Ludwig of Bavaria . When the Ettal monastery was founded , he donated the Maisach property complex to the monastery in 1330; as a Schrannenrichter from Ettal appeared here, one can conclude that the Maisachers had earlier sovereign rights .
