Gentiflor Pfäffinger (also Gentifler , Gentefler , Genteflor , Gentyflor etc., also Pfaffinger or Pfeffinger ; * before 1442, † 1503 in Landshut , Bavaria ) from the Pfäffinger family , was Hereditary Marshal of Lower Bavaria ( Bavaria-Landshut ) since 1457 .

Life

Gentiflor Pfäffinger zu Salmanskirchen is guaranteed among the Lower Bavarian knights and appears in the Lower Bavarian Landsassen register and the landscape. His father was a marshal at the court of George the Rich . After the Pfäffinger zum Steeg line had died out , he took over the inheritance in 1457, which earned him the title and dignity of Hereditary Marshal in Lower Bavaria and, among other things, the Steeg estate.

When his wife Magdalena was heavily pregnant, a fire in the summer of 1463 destroyed the Pfäffinger “Veste Haus”, which stood in Salmanskirchen on the hill next to the church. Having become homeless, Gentiflor's family temporarily moved to live with his wife's parents at their home in Wildenheim. Two daughters were born there, on September 7, 1463 Maria , who later became abbess Ursula von Frauenchiemsee, and in 1465 Regina , who later became abbess von Nonnberg. In the meantime, Gentiflor had a new building built on the plain outside the village of Salmanskirchen.

To the new castle, see engraving by Michael Wening , he added a castle chapel, which was consecrated to the Holy Trinity . Today only the so-called “Schlosshäusel” remains of the building.

1482 died first, his eldest son Bernhard IV. In Bohemia of the plague, a little later this succumbed to the epidemic and his wife Magdalena and daughter Anna in Passau. In the church of Salmanskirchen there is only a tombstone for Magdalena. Either Anna was buried with her mother unnamed or, and this is more likely, the stone is only set in memory and both were buried in Passau. Bernhard III. was buried at the request of his sister Regina in the church of the Benedictine women's monastery Nonnberg in Salzburg. His tombstone has not been preserved.

Gentiflor's tombstone, Salmanskirchen church

In 1484 Gentiflor, as the father of the youngest convent woman Regina Pfäffinger , who from 1505 herself was abbess of this monastery, is listed among the guests invited to the consecration of Abbess Daria von Panicher and on the following table in the Benedictine women's monastery Nonnberg in Salzburg.

When Gentiflor died in Landshut in 1503, the Landshut War of Succession was imminent, which broke out on April 17, 1504 and did not end until July 30, 1505 with the Cologne arbitration award of the Roman-German King Maximilian I at a Reichstag in Cologne . The House of Bavaria-Landshut and the Duchy of Lower Bavaria were dissolved, and their territory and rule fell to the Bayern-Munich line of the House of Wittelsbach . But although Lower Bavaria was now devastated, starved and thus at an end, the social position of the Pfäffingers had not suffered as a result. Thanks Gentiflor it was expanded and their property through consolidations been strengthened.

Gentiflor was buried in Salmanskirchen, his 2.13 m high and 1.14 m wide tombstone made of red marble shows the inscription in Gothic minuscule : “Hye ligt pegraben der noble und vesst / Genteflor pfäffinger csv salbarn / kirch Erbmarschal in Bayrn and Magdalena Hueberin his housewife died ano mo ccccc (iii) ”. In the center of the stone is the Pfäffinger coat of arms (half rising male), including the coat of arms of the Auer von Buolach, Huber von Wildenhaim and Trennbeck families.

Act

Gentiflor was considered "gifted with cleverness and wisdom" and was one of the nobles of the Neumarkt court around 1460. He managed the inherited goods in the open Hofmark Salmanskirchen "with caution". He also had goods in the Veichter parish (near Neumarkt ad Rott ), in Pulspach (judicial district Biburg, Amt Velden) and in Brand. However , he had to sell the heir to the moated castle in Steeg in order to be able to pay the main heiress and widow of his cousin Hans Pfäffinger, a née von Wildpret, 5,000 guilders. From this castle in Steeg near Buchbach only the comparatively large castle chapel remains .

Bucelin described him as though "Aulae Praefectus Gerorgij Ducis Bavariae" ( " steward of the Duke George of Bavaria "), but was wrong in it. Gentiflor only held this office until 1479, in which, after the death of his father, Louis IX. of the rich , now Georg the rich of Bavaria-Landshut took up his government in Lower Bavaria. In fact, Gentiflor Pfäffinger was Duke Ludwig's closest confidante, ducal counselor and court master in Seligenthal. Siebmacher even claimed that he " lives at the court of Wittenberg and there is educating his cousin, Hanns Jordan von Herzheim , for whom he himself appointed Martin Luther as praeceptor". Although this is incorrect and confuses many people and circumstances, it still provides a picture of the outstanding reputation this man had in his time and in his environment.

He was appointed to the court court of Landshut and was there in his function as ducal councilor on January 17, 1478, involved in the judgment of the then remarkable divorce of the couple Augustin and Elisabeth Reigker zu Söll.

After leaving the ducal court service, he held the lucrative office of caretaker of Trostberg from 1478 to 1481 and then that of a councilor to the Bishop of Freising. As nurses and county judge to Trostberg he issued on June 19, 1479 by the District Court for the judgment of the Schranne court of the church Tacherting the grant of an annual ground rent . A large number of documents name him as a Spruchmann, Siegler or party.

As Hereditary Marshal in Lower Bavaria, Gentiflor confirmed to the city of Wasserburg on August 24, 1500, the determination of Duke Georg, according to which the city was ranked above the city of Burghausen in the Landshut state parliament .

Shortly before his death, he and his son Degenhart Pfäffinger had completely rebuilt and expanded the dilapidated church in Salmanskirchen, which was last renovated by his ancestors in the 14th century. This renovation was completed in 1502.

Family and offspring

Gentiflor was the only surviving son of Caspar I. Pfäffinger and his second wife Elisabeth von Trennbeck (also Trennbach ) zu Walberg.

His first marriage was to Magdalena Huberin von Wildenheim (* before 1444, † 1482 in Passau). Five (or six) children came from this connection:

- Maria (Ursula) (* September 7, 1463 Wildenheim; † October 18, 1532 on Frauenchiemsee)
- Regina (* 1465 in Wildenheim; † April 23, 1516 in Nonnberg / Salzburg)
- Bernhard III. (* before 1471; † 1482 in Bohemia)
- Degenhart (born February 3, 1471 in Salmanskirchen; † July 3, 1519 in Frankfurt / Main)
- Anna († 1482 in Passau)
- Johannes V, also called Hans (died early)

Two of these joined the clergy: Regina went to the Benedictine women's monastery in Nonnberg in Salzburg, which she headed from 1503 to 1514 as abbess , and Maria to the Benedictine monastery in Frauenchiemsee , which she also led as abbess under the name Ursula from 1494 to 1529.

His older son Bernhard IV lived in high esteem at the royal court in Prague and died of the plague in Bohemia, the younger son Degenhart was a knight, lord of Salmanskirchen and Zangberg, hereditary marshal of Lower Bavaria, inner chamberlain and councilor in Electoral Saxony. His daughter Anna died young and with her mother in Passau of the plague.

In his second marriage, Gentiflor was married to Anna Auer von Buolach († 1506). This marriage remained childless.
