Georg Sebastian Plinganser (born April 21, 1681 in Postmünster / Thurnstein , † May 7, 1738 in Augsburg ) was a Bavarian freedom fighter.

Life

Plinganser was a member of the first Bavarian Parliament in Braunau and leader in the Bavarian popular uprising ( Oberländer- and Unterländer peasant uprising ) 1705 - 1706 against the Austro-imperial Hapsburg occupiers. According to some sources, he was forced to revolt, but this is due to his letters of justification after the defeat. This Bavarian popular uprising was bloodily suppressed , among other things, during the Christmas Murder at Sendling and the Battle of Aidenbach .

Plinganser was born in 1681 as the first child of the court judge of Postmünster Hans Georg Plinganser and his wife Barbara Ober, a baker's daughter from Postmünster.

A historical quote about Plinganser describes him as follows: "At the head of the Landevertheidiger were Sebastian Georg Plinganser, studios of rights at the high school in Ingolstadt , born in Pfarrkirchen (correct: Postmünster / Thurnstein), a strong, enterprising youth, full of understanding, and his schoolmate Johann Georg Meindl from Stern near Altheim  ... "

Beginning of the popular uprising in Bavaria

In the autumn of 1705 Bavaria rose in the upper and lower regions. After Elector Maximilian II Emanuel had lost the battles at Höchstadt and Blindheim in 1704 and Bavaria had been occupied by Imperial Austrian troops, the people in Bavaria were brought to despair by the burdens of quarters, contributions, unbearable tax burdens and compulsory levies for the occupiers. The uprising began in the Upper Palatinate and spread rapidly across the Danube to Lower Bavaria and the lower Inn. In Lower Bavaria the uprising achieved considerable success: the fortresses Burghausen, Braunau and Schärding were conquered. After these successes, the spark jumped over to the Bavarian Oberland.

The Bavarian popular uprising in 1705

On November 11th, 5,000 “Taschner farmers” from the Rottal under Georg Sebastian Plinganser and 5000 “Weilharter” under his school friend Johann Georg Meindl met at the Inn near Frauenstein Castle . Plinganser later said that at that time "the siege of Braunau and Schärding with the Meindl had already been decided". The army moved to Braunau and besieged the fortress (November 14, 1705).

First, however, Burghausen fell into the hands of the rebels from Upper Weilhart. With the fall of Braunau on November 27, 1705 and Schärding on December 4, 1705, the rebels gained power over the entire Innviertel, the region became the heartland of the popular uprising. "Rebels" from other regions got their directives in Braunau and at the same time agitators were sent from here in all directions.

The end of the survey

With the defeat of the Oberlanders on the Sendlinger Murder Christmas (December 25, 1705), the Bavarian popular uprising had passed its climax. In Braunau, however, the "indomitable - one must also say unreasonable - war party" continued to dominate, as Christian Probst describes it. Its head was Georg Sebastian Plinganser, Johann Georg Meindl was one of them.

The hopes of the last rebels for a resurgence of the popular uprising (including the support of Maximilian II Emanuel from Brussels) were soon dashed.

Plinganser was taken prisoner in Altötting after the last fighting in Braunau am Inn , and was in custody for a long time, the result of which is unknown. Then he was granted asylum in Mengkofen , where he entered service at the Court of Justice. He later became a procurator (lawyer) in Munich and finally died as Chancellor of the Imperial Monastery of St. Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg on May 7, 1738. (According to [1])

Aftermath

In 1878 the city of Munich named Plinganserstraße in Sendling after the leader of the peasant uprising in the Unterland. There are other street names in Simbach am Inn , Kirchdorf am Inn , Bad Griesbach , Aidenbach , Pocking , Gangkofen and Postmünster . In Mengkofen the name is Plinganser road out.
