history

The names of the siblings of the monastery founder, Adalpero, emerge from the founding history of the Kühbach monastery in the county of Hörzhausen (today the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen ) ; these are Count Udalschalk I. and the sisters Luitgart and Hilta . Count Adalpero von Kühbach is named as the founder, in 1011 King Heinrich II granted the monastery immunity and the right to elect abbesses and bailiffs, subject to the founder's bailiff's rights. The monastery was in comitatu Herteshusa and the named Adalpero will (without this being explicitly mentioned) have been the local count. In the traditional notes of the Kühbach monastery, there is a division of ownership of Count Udalschalk I , to be scheduled before 1011 , who hands over his share in Kühbach to his brother Adalpero to equip the monastery. He handed over the Langewisen estate (today Langewiesen and part of the town of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm ) to his sister Luitgart with the stipulation that this should go to the monastery if their sons should die without legal heirs. His sister Hilta also got the Taitingen estate (today Taiting in the Aichach-Friedberg district ) with the stipulation that if her son Adalpero dies without an heir, the estate should go to the monastery. The nephew Pabo (II.) Receives Velwen (today Felbern in the Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm district ), Antratespach (today Andersbach in the Aichach-Friedberg district), Wineden (today Winden , also located in the Aichach-Friedberg district), Beren (unknown, possibly and to be equated with mountains, today's Wagesenberg ) and Tuscinga ( Theißing in the district of Eichstätt ). In addition, six other people are named ( Adalpert , Altolf , Walperga , Helmperht , Marquard and Vudalschalch ) who are given various goods and who are seen as relatives of the Kühbachers.

Udalschalk I was also Count in Nordgau for a short time after the former North Gaugrafen Heinrich von Schweinfurt had his county rights withdrawn after the Schweinfurt feud . This lasted from 1004 to 1008, after which the Schweinfurter was reinstated in his earlier rights. This Udalschalk appears as early as 980 in the Freising traditions when he exchanged goods with Bishop Abraham von Freising .

Adalpero was a count in the county of Hörzhausen. Like his brother Udalschalk , he has a close relationship with the Bavarian Duke and later Emperor Heinrich II. On his intervention, Otto III. a farm in Regensburg, then the Wildbann between Isar and Loisach . 1011, when a property was handed over at Trens to the Tegernsee monastery before Heinrich II, he was named as Adalpero de Chopach preses together with Eperhardus de Eparesperc . After his death, a number of goods were to go to the monastery from his wife Hiltegard , but only after her death. However, she later determines that only part of the goods should go to the monastery , she gives further properties ( Baar , Inchenhofen , Taxberg , Reifersdorf and Winden) to her daughter Willibirg and only if she should remain childless should they go to the monastery . Willibirg was married to a Count Konrad for the second time ; this is equated with the Guelph Kuno I , the brother of Eberhard , first bishop of Bamberg . The latter was a relative of Heinrich II and her son Udalschalk von Elsendorf is subsequently named as the cognatus of the emperor.

The sister Luitgard was married to Altmann I , count in the county of Altmanni comitis near Ergolding in the Landshut district . This occurs together with Udalschalk I. in a Freising tradition of 1000 in an exchange deal with Bishop Gottschalk von Hagenau . On this occasion Altmann received the church and land in Michelskirchen (today part of Hilgertshausen-Tandern in the Dachau district ). It is also related to the aribones .
