biography
Georg Siegmund von Graben was the oldest child of Wilhelm von Graben and Magdalena von Stubenberg . His brother was Andrä von Graben , his siblings Margreta and Anna von Graben , who were the last member of the Kornberg line . He himself was married to Anna Gall von Rudolphsegg and Lembach , but did not have any children. His widow married Hans Herzenskraft as early as 1544.
After the death of his father Wilhelm in 1523, Georg Siegmund inherited his large, widely scattered property in Styria, including the important lords of Marburg (Maribor in today's Slovenia) and Kornberg. Due to his minority, he was assigned as a Gerhaben by King Ferdinand Hans von Himmelberg . 1524 sought his Gerhabe and his siblings in the Styrian Duke to feud vacation at. In 1529 there was a legal dispute between his widowed mother and Himmelberg, but this was settled. In the directory from 1536, only the sons of Wilhelm von Graben appear, a sign that they had become bailiff .
In 1539 he and his brother Andrä sold six sovereign estates and 12 Gülten on the Pack , Modriach and Osterwitz to Hans Ungnad . In 1541 it appears in a pledge from the brother to his brother-in-law Christoph Stadler , and is also referred to as being out of the country . The valuation from 1542 is made out to both brothers, Georg Siegmund and Andrä, the supplementary estimate from the following year only to Andrä, the heir of Georg Siegmund von Graben, who died childless in 1543.
