Noble seat Geboltskirchen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lost noble seat Geboltskirchen stood in the place of today's parish church Geboltskirchen in the municipality Geboltskirchen in the district Grieskirchen in Upper Austria .

history

The noble family of Geboltskirchen is mentioned only once in a document (“Codex Traditionum Monasterii Reicherbergensis”) of the Reichersberg monastery dating from 1150 to 1180 , and a Gunther de Gerbrulteskirch is mentioned as a witness at a donation. This descendant of Gerbolt, who also founded the first church here, was the first to have owned the residence in Geboltskirchen.

Coat of arms of the Zärtl

Between 1200 and 1400 there was no documentary evidence of the residence. In 1455 it was passed on to the Zärtls family. The Zärtels first mentioned a “noble and white Wolfgang Czertel” in a Lambacher deed in 1448 . In 1470 he called himself the "noble and white Wolfgang Czertel zu Gebolczkirchen". The coat of arms of the Zärtls found its way into the municipal coat of arms of Geboltskirchen. A marriage contract dates from 1472 between him and his wife Agnes, daughter of Ambros Haunberger, who in turn was a carer on the Wartenberg . Wolfgang Zärtel had sons Siegmund and Hans from his first marriage. In 1477 the property in Geboltskirchen was given to Hans I. A Hans II. Zärtel was court judge in Lambach , then (1493-1497) he held the office of city judge in Eferding . Hans II had five sons (Joachim, Leonhard, Benedikt, Alexander and Sebastian), who after his death († 1535) shared the inheritance equally. From these, Sebastian managed to acquire the shares of his brothers, which, however, led to a high level of debt. The Geboltskirchen headquarters had to be sold in 1566. It then came to Wilhalbman Reisinger, nurse from Württing .

Eight years later, presumably after Reisinger's death, the seat came to Wolfgang V. Jörger . He had the already run down and still wooden mansion renovated, according to various invoices. This Jörger had also acquired Polzing in the Geboltskirchen area and a number of other goods and tithes in the community. He even calls himself "von Geboltskirchen". After the death of Wolfgang Jöger († 1613) the property went to Köppach , but then it was unlikely to have been inhabited by any of the descendants of Wolfgang Jörger and therefore began to deteriorate. In addition, after 1626 the Jörger got into dire straits because of their Protestant faith and lost their possessions.

Location and construction of the seat

Folk tradition claims that the first seat (the so-called castle) stood on the site of the church in Geboltskirchen. Since the church was built on a small heaped hill, this does not seem entirely unlikely. This first building was made of wood and surrounded by a moat. Later the castle (probably a so-called " high-rise ") was moved to an island in a pond a little further west. The associated Meierhof was still called the Hofbauer today, and the Hoftaverne (the Lederergasthaus) was also nearby. The castle pond no longer exists today, but was filled in in 1970.
