Life

Georg Franz Sumatinger, Knight of Sumating, a cousin of the Salzburg law professor Ernst Friedrich von Someting (1668–1697), came from an Upper Austrian family whose name was originally written Sumatinger or Sometinger. His grandfather Sebastian Sumatinger, caretaker of the imperial castle bailiwick of Wels, was from Emperor Ferdinand III in 1652 . was raised to the knightly nobility with the predicate “von Sumating”.

Georg Franz Sumatinger was a son of Johann Christoph Sumatinger, counter- writer first in the administrative office in Ischl, later in the court clerk's office in Hallstatt. He was the head of the Hallstätter Saline , kk administrator, court clerk and hospital administrator. In 1669 he bought himself in the Lahn and from 1699 to 1700 built the house Lahn No. 23 (Benefice), which still exists today, which he used as a summer residence.

Since their marriage remained childless, he and his wife Maria Anna Christina Crollalanza had the baroque Calvary Church and the associated Stations of the Cross built in the Lahn between 1700 and 1710 with the consent of the Jesuit College of Passau as bailiff and fiefdom of the town and with the permission of the prince-bishop in the Lahn which Passau's auxiliary bishop Johann Raimund Graf Lamberg (1662–1725) consecrated on September 27, 1711 to the title of Exaltation of the Cross . There, on the east side of the church, the donors were also buried. To this end, in 1709 they donated the associated curate beneficiary for a priest (beneficiary cooperator) and a sacristan.
