Engl from Wagrain
Engl von Wagrain (also Engel, Engl von und zu Wagram) was an Upper Austrian noble family named after the noble estate Wagrain near Vöcklabruck . In 1598 David, zu Wagrain and Schöndorf, with his older brother Simon, zu Lizzlberg , was accepted into the young and in 1615 into the old knighthood . In 1681 the family received the barons - and in 1717 the dignity of imperial counts. The Seisenburg line died out in 1853 and the Wagrain line in 1910.
history
The lineage begins with Albert (Albrecht) Engl, who in 1440 took over the noble residence of Purgstall in Vöcklabruck from the Roman-German King Friedrich III. received as a fief. In 1499 King Maximilian I authorizes his son Abrecht II to build a new noble seat at this point and then to call himself Engl zu Wagrain . The Engl from and to Wagrain were patricians in Steyr as a result , in 1509 Augustin is called. Stefan held a municipal office in Steyr in 1566, so that he was released from Emperor Maximilian II . Stefan's sons Simon Engl zu Litzlberg and his brother David Engl zu Wagrain and Schöndorf were accepted into the new Austrian knighthood on April 21, 1598. The Engl owned estates in Upper and Lower Austria and were thus also members of the respective provincial estates in the knightly class, as counts then in the gentry class.
Simon Engl von Wagrain was a Protestant and had a prayer house built in Litzlberg that no longer exists today. In March 2020, a woman was found buried in a wood and metal coffin with grave goods in the ground at the place where it stood. The buried woman was named Simon Engl's wife Anna Engl von Wagrain, b. Furth († 1620) identified; a male burial also recovered has yet to be identified.
