Freyberg-Eisenberg to Hopferau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The knighthood of Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau came into being in 1467, when the dominion of Freyberg-Eisenberg was divided among the sons of Peter von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Eisenberg. The more western part around the paternal castle Eisenberg fell to the son Wilhelm, while the other son Sigmund received goods, the majority of which were more in the east under the rule.

Scope of domination

Hopferau Castle

The letter of division from 1467 lists which farm estates were awarded to Sigmund:

  • Lüben [love]: 2 goods
  • Baungarten [tree garden]: 1 good
  • Zell : 2 goods
  • Au Hopferau : 3 estates, 1 mill, 1 Sölde
  • Haimen [Heimen]: 5 estates, 3 Sölden
  • Brandegg : 1 good
  • In Düll [Unter- and Oberdill]: 3 goods
  • Hops : 1 good
  • Wizner [Weizern]: 2 goods
  • to the Schradi [Schraden]: 1 Good
  • Lechen [Lehern]: 2 goods
  • Arlazau [Hinterberg]: 1 good
  • Zwÿselberg [Zwieselberg]: 2 estates
  • Attlesee : 3 goods, 1 "warehouse" for wheat
  • Segger Pfarr zum Weg [Weg, Gde. Seeg]: 1 Good
  • Albisried : 4 estates
  • Lengenwang : 4 estates, 3 Sölden
  • Baltarazried [Balteratsried] : 2 estates, 1 mill, 1/2 desert (in Humartzried)

The Sigmund's Hopferau property therefore included 40 larger farms, five Sölden and two mills, from which existing funds were to be transferred to the manor. She also received income from five fishing waters, the Segger See , the Schleÿsee , the Grazach , the Bechlin that rint down for Albisried in the Kippach and from the Kippach itself. In addition, the Sigmund still owned a number of own people (serfs) who were his had to pay a personal tax.

owner

Sigmund von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

The first owner of the newly created manor called himself "Sigmund von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau" because he chose the centrally located Hopferau as the administrative center. Probably shortly after the division in 1467, Sigmund married Dorothea von Thumb von Neuburg . In 1468 he is referred to as a "knight". Allegedly he was also at the tournaments in Heidelberg (1481), in Stuttgart (1484) and in Ansbach (1485).

Sigmund must have been an important figure. In 1474 he was present at the pompous wedding of Count and later Duke Eberhard von Württemberg . In 1481 Sigmund is named as President of the Court Court in Tübingen and in 1484 he was the Württemberg nurse in Schorndorf . In old age he evidently chose Hopferau as his main residence. There he had a new castle built and a church, for which the episcopal concession and consecration took place in 1504. From Hopferau in 1497/1498 he should have exercised the office of a nurse in Schongau . He had already bought a house on the market in Kaufbeuren . It is believed to have come from his cousin Heinrich von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hohenfreyberg, who lived there with his wife Klara Honold and who died soon before 1480. Together with his nephew Peter von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Eisenberg , Sigmund was also the owner of the Asch estate , where both are named from 1489–1499 as lords of the court and patronage. Shortly before his death, probably at the end of 1504, Sigmund sold his home in Kaufbeur to King Maximilian I. Sigmund and his wife found their final resting place in Stams Monastery , where his grandparents had already donated anniversaries and were buried.

  1. Of Sigmund's children, Amalie married Ulrich von Schlandersberg and Veronika married Balthasar von Schellenberg zu Sulzberg .
  2. The son Philipp, who was nicknamed "the player" because of his championship in the game, was drawn to military service. After the dissolution of the League of Cambrai , he was enlisted as a colonel by the French. He lost his life in the Battle of Ravenna in 1512. His brother Hans-Sigmund, who also took part in this battle as a Knight of Malta , suffered the same fate .
  3. A third brother Friedrich was initially chosen for the clergy. But then he married Helena von Sengen, who brought half of the Kißlegg rule with her into the marriage. In 1525 he acquired the castle and lordship of Sulzberg from his sister Veronika, but sold this property to the Prince Abbey of Kempten a year later .
  4. Sigmund's son Kaspar finally took over the rule of Hopferau and made Sigmund the progenitor of the new Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau line.

Kaspar von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

Epitaph for Kaspar von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau in the St. Anna Chapel in Füssen

Kaspar was probably born between 1470 and 1480. After the death of his father, he took over the rule of Hopferau. When there were problems with the payment of the "Kaiserhaus" in Kaufbeuren, which had been sold by his father, Kaspar negotiated a new payment method in 1505, also on behalf of his brothers, according to a letter from the Innsbruck court chamber.

Through his marriage to Agathe von Stadion , Kaspar also came into the possession of the Altheim dominion and otherwise he had legal titles outside of his Hopferau dominion. For example, he had a share in Eisenberg Castle from his father, which he sold to the sons of Peters von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Eisenberg in 1532, and in 1544 he signed a contract with Hans Dietrich zu Hohenegg because of the jurisdiction in the bailiwick of Sulzberg.

According to the family chronicle , Kaspar was a princely Augsburg nurse at Rötenberg , so he was in the service of the Augsburg bishop. For the castle chapel built by his father, he donated a capital of 65 florins, from which a chaplain was to be employed in Hopferau.

Later, Kaspar seems to have changed his religious convictions. It is reported that he was a staunch Lutheran who entered the service of Duke Ulrich of Württemberg and found himself in 1537 as senior counselor in Blaubeuren. However, Kaspar found his final resting place in the St. Anna Chapel in the St. Mang monastery in Füssen. The epitaph records the death date as March 13, 1547.

Epitaph for the prince provost of Ellwangen Christoph von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau, d. 1584

From his marriage to Agathe von Stadion, Kaspar had sons Konrad, Christoph and Hans Sigmund, from his second wife Katharina von Reichberg the sons Paul and Hans and the daughter Katharina (or Barbara). In 1548 all descendants signed an inheritance agreement. Then the children from the second marriage were raised with 8000 fl.

  1. Since this sum was not immediately available, Hans Sigmund, who received Hopferau and half of Asch, undertook to pay the interest of 400 fl.
  2. The brother Konrad received the Altheim Castle and its associated authority. Because he died childless, his property fell back to the Hopferauer.
  3. The third brother Christoph was Canon of Augsburg and later Prince Provost of Ellwangen . He had already received a "benefit" and therefore - except in an emergency - waived his third part. He died in 1584. An epitaph in the parish church of Hopferau commemorates him. It bears the inscription below:

Hans Sigmund von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

Epitaph for Hans Sigmund von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau in the St. Anna Chapel in Füssen

Just one year after the death of his father, Hans Sigmund appears as a gentleman in Hopferau. In 1548, the St. Mang monastery in Füssen took over the farm in Niederried (near Weissensee), which it had previously transferred to father Kaspar.

The bishops of Augsburg repeatedly caused problems for the Freybergers, who claimed sovereign rights in the Freyberg rulers for the bishopric of Augsburg . In 1558 Hans Sigmund was able to conclude a contract in which the lower and higher jurisdiction in his rule was regulated.

Like his father and grandfather, Hans Sigmund entered service in Württemberg. In 1562 he was councilor to Duke Christoph von Württemberg. In 1564 he settled a dispute between Swabian nobles in Dillingen because of an insult. The other documentary evidence suggests that Hans Sigmund took more care of the administration of his Hopferau property. In order to prevent the unbridled increase in farm estates and to secure their livelihood, Sigmund signed a contract with neighboring landlords (Hochstift Augsburg, Herrschaft Freyberg-Eisenberg and Hohenfreyberg as well as Herrschaft Hohenegg) in 1566, according to which a. in Lengenwang "forever" no new farm is allowed to arise. In 1567 he was then advisor and carer to Rettenberg for the princely Augsburg. He held the office until at least 1583.

Like the high judiciary, the Augsburg bishops also had the right to hunt in the Freyberg dominions. In 1568, however, Hans Sigmund managed to get the right to hunt in his hunting district from the Augsburg monastery.

Hans Sigmund died in 1589 and left his widow Sybille von Knöringen with six sons: Friedrich, Hans Walther, Konrad Sigmund, Johann Christoph, Wilhelm and Philipp.

  1. Friedrich married Anna von Humpis von Waltrams in 1582 and held the office of town bailiff in Markdorf until at least 1591 . That year he and his brothers Hans Walther and Philipp raffled off the inheritance that had come to them after the death of their father and childless uncle Konrad von Freyberg (in Altheim). Friedrich received the Altheim estate, estimated at 43,305 fl, and was now called von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Altheim. After the death of his only son, Friedrich's father-in-law Hans Konrad von Humpis von Waltrams bequeathed considerable property to the children of his daughter Anna and his son-in-law Friedrich. The eldest son Konrad Sigmund (from Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Altheim) received the castle and rule of Wellendingen , the middle Kaspar Ferdinand the seat in Worndorf and Hans Friedrich as the youngest son a dwelling in Radolfzell as well as bonds.
  2. Hans Walther married Veronika von Rechberg zu Hochenrechberg in 1581 and, after her death in 1590, married Margarethe Späth von Zwiefalten . When the family property was divided among the brothers, he was given the rule of Asch, which was estimated at only 19,375 fl. In 1582, he invested a larger sum, which he apparently received as a compensation payment, at the prince monastery of Kempten . Hans Walther held the office of prince provost town bailiff in Ellwangen until about 1590 and then devoted himself to the administration of the Altheim estate, which his late brother Friedrich had left behind. In 1593 Hans Walther and his brother Konrad Sigmund bought the Allmendingen rule from the city of Ehingen , which was given to them for 70,000 fl "as good Catholic people". Hans Walther died on September 14th 1607. After the death of his childless son Hans Wolf in 1637, the rule of Allmendingen fell to his cousin Kaspar Ferdinand von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Worndorf.
  3. Konrad Sigmund, born around 1557, received a compensation payment of 15,003 florins instead of goods when the estate was divided. He married Felizitas von Rechberg zu Hohenrechberg and initially lived in a house in Ehingen that came from the legacy of Anna von Freyberg, wife of Hans Pankraz von Freyberg zu Neuensteußlingen and Laupheim. In 1592 he obtained permission from the town council of Ehingen to expand this house near the town hall. In 1608 at the latest he added "zu Asch" to his name. Apparently he took over the rule Asch from his brother Hans Walther after the latter (together with him!) Had bought the rule Allmendingen. Konrad Sigmund died in Hopferau, his death sign in the St. Anna Chapel in Füssen bears the inscription: ANNO 1618 DIED THE WOL EDEL CONRADT SIGMUNDT VON FREJBERG FROM EISENBERG TO ASH THE 3rd DAY OF APRIL HIS AGE 61 JAR DEM GOTT GNAD - From the children of Konrad Sigmund, the daughter Eva married Bernhard von Hohenegg, the son Wolfgang became canon in Ellwangen and Hans Sigmund married a Barbara von Neuhausen. Their son Julius Christoph is referred to as "von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Asch" in 1631, but when the inheritance of his great-uncle Philip was distributed, he was given the rule of Hopferau by lot.
  4. When the inheritance was divided, Wilhelm also received his share in cash. Like his brother Hans Walther, he apparently lent this to the Princely Monastery of Kempten. Wilhelm took his seat in Zweifelsberg, today a hamlet of Mittelbiberach . It is not known how the estate came into Freybergian hands. In 1617, the childless Wilhelm had a will recorded in which he gave legates to his closest relatives. The Zweifelsberg estate should go to his brother Konrad Sigmund (in Asch). In 1626 Wilhelm wrote another will, in which he stipulated that Zweifelsberg should not be divided, but must be raffled among the heirs. After Wilhelm was well cared for by Anna Maria von Schad in "his long and serious illness", he bequeathed her another 1000 florins. He must have died soon afterwards. Allegedly, his heirs gave the Zweifelsberg estate to Euphrosine von Ulm, born in 1628. Schad sold. This connected it to the Mittelbiberach rulership. In fact, Zweifelsberg was probably only sold after 1646, because that year Sigmund Friedrich from the Hopferau-Wellendingen line died here (see below!).
  5. Johann Christoph von Freyberg-Eisenberg became, like his uncle of the same name, Prince Provost von Ellwangen.
  6. The list of owners of the Hopferau estate is continued by his son Philipp.

Philipp von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

Epitaph of Philipp von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau in the St. Anna Chapel in Füssen

When the extensive property of Hans Sigmund von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau was distributed, his son Philipp received the heart of Hopferau. The property was valued at 38,205 fl. At the time of the distribution of the estate, in 1591, Philip's brothers Hans Walther, Konrad Sigmund and Friedrich were already married because their parents had arranged the wedding celebrations for them. For this, her "younger" siblings were each compensated with 1200 fl. The marriage of Philip to Barbara von Horben, a daughter of Burgau bailiff Dietrich von Horben, therefore took place after 1591. In 1591, Philipp was also obliged to fill the chaplaincy in the Hopferau Palace Chapel, founded by his grandfather Kaspar, with a clergyman. But because the foundation did not pay enough interest "in these expensive times", the heirs increased the capital with 2000 fl from the property that was still undistributed. In 1621, when Philip was only between 50 and 60 years old, he had his will written down. Because he had no children of his own, he made his living brothers and their children the main heirs. The rule Hopferau should fall to the brother Wilhelm. If he doesn't want it, it has to be drawn from among the male members. The value must not be posted higher than 50,000 fl. The respective owner has to give the Hopferau chaplain 150 fl annually and deliver firewood to the chaplain house. For this, the clergyman must read mass on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday as well as on all Sundays and public holidays. Philipp died in 1631 and, as he had decreed, was buried in the St. Anna chapel in Füssen.

Christoph Julius von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Asch and Hopferau

Wilhelm von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Zweifelsberg, who was chosen as his successor in Hopferau, died before the inheritance occurred. Therefore, the clause in Philipp's will came into force, according to which the new owner had to be determined by drawing lots. The contract was awarded to Christoph Julius von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Asch in October 1631. He was the son of Philip's nephew Hans Sigmund Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Asch. The Hopferau estate was valued at 71,186 fl, of which the four heirs only 50,390 fl remained because the rulership was in debt. The capital was divided into four equal portions. In addition, there was an inheritance from Ellwang provost Hans Christoph in the amount of 54,000 fl, from which three parts were made, because Konrad Sigmund (Wellendingen) and Kaspar Ferdinand (Altheim / Worndorf) received half of it each. Of the entire estate of 104,390 fl, each received 21,597 fl 30 kr Konrad Sigmund (Wellendingen) and Kaspar Ferdinand (Altheim / Worndorf) and 30,597 fl 30 kr each to Hans Wolf (Allmendingen) and Christoph Julius (Hopferau / Asch). In December 1631, Christoph Julius accepted the homage from the Hopferau subjects, but he could not enjoy his property for long. At the end of 1634 he must be seriously ill because he wrote a will in favor of his mother or a cousin of his. If they were out of the question as heirs, the rule of Asch should fall to the Jesuits in Landsberg and the rule of Hopferau to Albrecht Ernst von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Altheim, a second cousin. Soon afterwards, Christoph Julius died.

Sigmund Friedrich von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Wellendingen and Hopferau

In fulfillment of Christoph Julius' last will, Kaspar Ferdinand von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Altheim took over the Hopferau estate in 1636. He was the father of Albrecht Ernst, to whom the inheritance was actually intended. In 1640, however, Kaspar Ferdinand made a settlement with his brother Konrad Sigmund over a number of villages, with Hopferau going to his brother. But he immediately left the rule to his son Sigmund Friedrich. On June 13, 1640, the subjects paid homage to their new master. Sigmund Friedrich apparently also owned the (small) rule of Zweifelsberg near Amtzell , where he probably also lived. He was only 35 years old and died on August 9, 1646. His epitaph is in the pilgrimage church in Pfärrich, which is neighboring Zweifelsberg. His wife Maria Franziska, née von Falkenstein, will then certainly have moved to Hopferau. She died here on May 30, 1688 at the age of 73 and was buried in the castle chapel.

Franz von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

After the early death of Sigmund Friedrich, in 1653 an inheritance agreement was signed between his brothers Christoph Wilhelm (in Wellendingen) and Franz von Freyberg-Eisenberg. The rule Hopferau was assigned to Franz and the underage children of the late Sigmund Friedrich in equal parts. At that time the value of the property was given at 45,337 fl, although 11,337 fl were passive debts. The Thirty Years War apparently also left its mark on Hopferau. In Hopferau, Franz and his underage nephews and nieces were allotted partly profitable, partly ruined goods, where it is not known whether they will be useful again . Franz was Elector Bavarian Chamberlain and later, in 1671, Princely Augsburg Court Council President in Dillingen . He bought a house there in 1653, which was only sold after his death in 1673. Accordingly, Franz did not live in Hopferau. He left his share of the rule to Franz von Hohenegg zu Vils .

Franz von Freyberg-Eisenberg was a cousin of the Augsburg bishop Johann Christoph von Freyberg . He bought the imperial government of Justingen and founded a Fideikommiss in 1670 so that the family property could not fall apart . Christoph Wilhelm von Freyberg, Franz von Freyberg, Hans Dietrich von Freyberg and himself joined this contract and affected the gentlemen of Wellendingen, Hopferau, Altheim, Allmendingen, Justingen, Eisenberg, Hürbel and Raunau. These goods could not be sold without the consent of the others and could only be indebted up to a certain maximum. Daughters entitled to inheritance were paid out so that the succession in the male line was secured. If one of the lines Hopferau - Wellendingen - Allmendingen on the one hand or Raunau - Hürbel - Haldenwang on the other hand would become extinct, they should inherit each other.

Johann Sigmund von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

After the death of childless Franz, his nephew Johann Sigmund also took over the uncle's share in the Hopferau reign. In 1670 Johann Sigmund married Adelheid von Gemmingen , who brought him 3000 fl into the marriage. On October 3, 1673, the Hopferau subjects paid homage to him. Johann Sigmund held high public offices (1671 Reich Knighthood Director, 1673 Chamberlain of the Bavarian Elector and Augsburg Councilor and President in Dillingen.) He died on October 5, 1690 and was buried in Hopferau. According to the family chronicle, he had eleven children, including his son Johann Anton , who later became Bishop of Eichstätt .

Bonaventure Ignaz Veit von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

The rule of Hopferau was taken over by Johann Anton's younger brother, who was born on June 15, 1678 and was baptized in the name of Bonaventura Ignaz Veit. His subjects paid homage on June 27, 1707. In the documents, his first name is sometimes given as Ignaz, but also as Veit. In 1702 there was a marriage project with one of von Wanscheid, but it failed. Four years later Ignaz Veit signed a severance agreement with his brother Sebastian Ludwig, who received 4500 fl. The relatively low sum indicates that the Hopferau Freybergers were not doing well financially. The amount of home tax that Maria Franziska von Ulm brought to Ignaz Veit's marriage was also limited at 3000 fl. A letter to the Hopferau baron has been received from 1708 urging him to pay a debt of 258 fl. Ignaz Veit had not even paid the interest on this capital. In order to avert the financial ruin, Ignaz Veit had to cede half of the Hopferau rule to Rudolf Dietrich and Marx Albrecht von Freyberg-Eisenberg on Landstrost, Offingen and Wäschenbeuren in 1709. The two were sons of Hans Dietrich von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Raunau . But the sale did not bring any financial restructuring either. In 1739 Ignaz Veit, who in the meantime was under administration due to the provisions of the Fideikommiss, left half of his share in Hopferau to his son Joseph Karl. Apparently Ignaz Veit was not entirely to blame for the misery, because he was only granted 500 fl a year. He died on June 22nd, 1742.

Joseph Karl von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

On May 13, 1716 a son was born to Veit Ignaz who was given the first name Rupert Georg Sigmund Leopold Joseph Karl. While his father apparently never worked to improve his income, Joseph Karl received offices from his uncle, the Eichstatt Bishop Johann Anton. Joseph Karl became his Privy Councilor (consilarius intimus) and his senior bailiff (supremus praefectus) in Hirschberg .

After his father's death, on July 30, 1742, he presented himself to the Hopferauern as the new master. He had been married to Countess Maria Josepha von Muggenthal since 1739 , but the marriage did not last long. If Joseph Karl was actually present as the godfather at the baptism of a child of the Schraden landlord Franz Singer on January 14, 1743, then he must have died suddenly. Only eight days later, on January 22nd, 1743, he died - only 27 years old - and was buried in Hopferau.

Johann Anton von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau

Joseph Karl's only son was called Johann Anton. He was born on May 19, 1740 and was not even three years old when his father died. In 1757 - still a minor - after the death of his uncle, the Eichstätt Bishop Johann Anton, he came into the possession of a Freyberg family fideicommissi founded by his uncle. At that time, after deducting all other bequests, it was still over 100,000 florins. Johann Anton, the nephew, married Maria Franziska Schenk von Stauffenberg in 1766 and had four daughters with her. Like his father, he went to the prince-bishop's office in Eichstätt, where he held the offices of a privy councilor and a colonel hunter as well as a chief forest master. With his death on December 1, 1806, the Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hopferau line became extinct in the male line.

Dissolution of rule

Because Johann Anton's daughters had to be paid out according to the provisions of the Fideikommiss, Hopferau came to the agnates of the Freyberg-Eisenberg sideline to Wellendingen. However, their inheritance did not affect the sovereign rights that the Freybergers had previously claimed against the Augsburg bishopric and in some cases had also exercised. In 1803, the Hopferau lordship, together with the Augsburg bishopric, came to the Electorate of Bavaria, which Hopferau had administered by the Füssen regional court .

Only an insignificant second class patrimonial court initially remained for the new lords of Hopferau in Wellendingen, as well as the castle and their own goods. This property initially fell to Nikolaus Christoph von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Wellendingen and Worndorf. But he bequeathed the goods in Hopferau to the children of his brother Thaddäus, namely Albertine and Pauline von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Wellendingen. The two ladies sold their Hopferau property in 1838 to the postal expedition, Kolb, in Füssen.
