Haller von Hallerstein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family coat of arms of the Haller

The Haller von Hallerstein are one of the oldest patrician families in the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned in a document in 1205. The Haller were the only family to be represented in the Inner Council from 1314 until the end of the imperial city period in 1806 . According to the dance statute, they belonged to the twenty old genders eligible for advice. They have belonged to the imperial nobility since the 15th century .

Shortly before 1500, a Hungarian-Transylvanian line split off from the Nuremberg tribe, which played a political role in Transylvania in the 17th and 18th centuries . The Hungarian line rose to the rank of count in 1713, the Nuremberg line to baron in 1790. Both still exist today.

history

Origins

The ancestry of the Haller is not completely clear. It is believed that their roots lie in Tyrol , where the name is particularly common in the burgrave office . Family history research was undertaken by the relatives very early, which the Nuremberg patrician Ulman Stromer explicitly mentioned in his Püchel of my family , written in the second half of the 14th century . Hans Haller put 1488 the oldest Haller book and this was Konrad Haller 1526 a further, more detailed follow. He had obtained the content on special trips and according to old documents.

The family first appears in a document with Heinricus Hallare since 1205 in the entourage of the Dukes of Andechs-Meranien , with Ulricus Hallar , judge of Innsbruck , since 1230 in a document in the entourage of Count Albert of Tyrol . Since his move to Franconia , the family first documented there in 1304 with dominus Heinricus Haller de Prosperch . Ulrich Haller, since 1297 Consul to Nuremberg, confidant emperor was Ludwig of Bavaria and was in 1316 with the high court to Großhabersdorf invested.

Haller's House , Nuremberg

As early as the 14th century, the family was one of the most important in the Nuremberg city nobility. Family members sat on the Inner Council and thus belonged to the ruling Nuremberg patriciate . They were wealthy in the city, but also outside of it, including in Kalchreuth . In 1360, Berthold Haller donated the Pilgrimspital zum Heiligen Kreuz , whose beneficiary's house and garden the family had a right of use until it was destroyed in 1945. The Haller gained their considerable fortune in long-distance trade with Cologne, Lyon, Bologna and Venice, but also with Austria and Hungary, as well as in mining and through extensive financial transactions. They increased it through inheritances that followed a clever marriage policy. With Ruprecht I († 1489), Martin III. († 1617) and Johann Siegmund († 1805) provided the sex three foremost slogans and Reichsschultheiße in the free imperial city.

The Hallers from Nuremberg obtained an imperial coat of arms improvement by awarding a golden crown as early as 1433. A coat of arms confirmation followed in 1463 and an imperial nobility confirmation in 1478 by Emperor Friedrich III. A further improvement in the coat of arms was made in 1521 by Emperor Karl V. The addition of "von Hallerstein" including the coat of arms association with the extinct Bavarian nobility of the von Hallerstein family dates from 1528. The acquisition of Hallerstein Castle near Hof an der Saale , which was aimed at in 1562 , did not materialize.

Wolf Haller, son of Jobst Haller, married Ursula Koberger in 1491, a daughter of the printer Anton Koberger (“ Schedelsche Weltchronik ”) ; the coats of arms of both spouses can be seen on Albrecht Dürer's “Haller Madonna” , which was probably commissioned as a private devotional image by the couple or (more likely) by Anton Koberger, Dürer's godfather and neighbor, as a gift for his daughter; The Hall coat of arms can be seen at the bottom left and the Koberger craftsman's mark on the right . Wolf Haller initially entered his father-in-law's business as an assistant and traveler, but fell out with him after a few years and fled to Vienna, where he died in 1505. The famous painting is influenced by Giovanni Bellini , whom Dürer met on his first trip to Venice (1494-1495) and therefore probably painted in the years that followed. It hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington today .

In the 17th century the Haller von Hallerstein were part of the imperial knighthood in the canton of Steigerwald of the Franconian knight circle. After 1753, they were administrators of the Rieter inheritance for the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg in the knightly canton of Altmühl . The so-called Sigmund line formed a Catholic branch in the Upper Palatinate, which went out in 1779 and was inherited by the Evangelical Nuremberg branch (including Kalchreuth ). The Nuremberg Hallers were raised to the status of imperial barons in 1790 . In 1813 the Barons Haller von Hallerstein were registered as such with the Bavarian nobility.

Hallerschloss in Großgründlach near Nuremberg, owned by the Barons Haller von Hallerstein from 1766 until today

Colonel Johann Georg Haller von Hallerstein saved the imperial regalia in August 1796 by taking them from Nuremberg via Prague to Regensburg from the approaching French in 1794 , from where they were brought to Vienna in 1800, where they are to this day.

Most of Hall's possessions, as well as the rich libraries and art collections, were lost due to the replacement laws of 1848 as well as inflation and destruction during the two world wars. The Hallerschloss in Großgründlach, which was taken over from the Pfinzing inheritance in 1766, has been the family seat and the only center of the family tradition since 1945 . The valuable art inventory of Haller's benefactor's house at the Heilig-Kreuz-Pilgrim Hospital , which was destroyed in 1945, was relocated in good time, including the important Peringsdörffer altar, numerous panel paintings, wooden sculptures, etc. as well as over 50 Haller's death shields . You are now partly in the Laurentiuskirche and in the Großgründlach Castle. In Nuremberg itself, Hallerstraße, Hallertor, Hallertorbrücke , Hallerwiese , Hallerhüttenstraße in Forsthof and Hallerweiherstraße in the Fischbach district are a reminder of the family and their earlier possessions.

Possessions

The Nuremberg headquarters of the Haller (before 1517–1611), in Karlstrasse, now houses the toy museum .

They also owned:

Ziegelstein Castle (owned 1370–1647, destroyed in 1642)
Hallerschloss Mögeldorf , a residential tower from the 13th century, expanded to the east after 1400 and topped with half-timbered buildings around 1500.

1395–1850 the Kalchreuth manor , Schlossplatz 4

Hungarian-Transylvanian line

Ruprecht Haller (1452–1513) went to Buda in Hungary and received a patent in 1489, according to which he and his successors were allowed to buy Hungarian goods for up to 4,000 forints for export. He later became the councilor of King Ludwig of Bohemia and Hungary and finally his chief judge. He had five sons and founded a branch of the Haller family that still exists today in the Kingdom of Hungary and especially in Transylvania , which partially changed the name Hallerstein into Hungarian ("Haller de Hallerkeö") . His son János ran a mint in Pressburg . At about the same time, two other Hallers lived in Hungary, Bertalan in Pest and Konrad in Kassa, but their descendants already died in the next generation.

With Peter Haller a branch went to Sibiu in Transylvania . They kept their Hungarian identity, but they served the Protestant Transylvanian electoral princes, who were also mostly Hungarians, and acquired extensive property there. Peter's son Gábor Haller I (1558–1608) joined Stephan Báthory , who was elected Prince of Transylvania in 1571. After he was elected King of Poland in 1576, he left Transylvania to his brother Christoph Báthory . Christoph's wife was the sister of Gábor Haller's wife Ilona Bocskai. Christoph's son and successor Sigismund Báthory was hostile to Haller, but in 1599 he left Transylvania to his relative, Cardinal Andreas Báthory . After the turmoil surrounding the voivode Mihai Viteazul , Stephan Bocskai (1557–1606) was elected prince in 1605 , a passionate defender of the Reformation. Since Gábor Haller, supporter of the Unitarian denomination, had decisively promoted his election, Bocskai rewarded him with money and offices. Under the subsequent Prince Sigismund Rákóczi I , Haller became city councilor, captain of the Fogaras fortress and burgrave in the Klein-Kokelburg (Kuküllo) county . He died in 1608 at his Fehéregyháza castle .

Stefan (István) Haller I (1591–1657) was a confidante of the anti-Habsburg Protestant princes Gabriel Bethlen and Georg I. Rákóczi during the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War . He was also burgrave in Kokelburg as well as general and parliamentary president. He was involved in initiating Bethlen’s marriage to Katharina von Brandenburg . In 1610 he had a new castle built in Kerelőszentpál. He campaigned for tolerance towards Catholics. He left three sons: Paul II, Gábor and Johann II.

Gábor Haller II. (1614–1662), a son of Stefan Haller I , came to the court of Princess Katharina, wife of Prince Gabriel Bethlen, and then studied from 1630 at the Viadrina in Frankfurt / Oder. 1630 converted to the Reformed religion and went to study at the University of Leiden , a stronghold of Calvinism. Under the Calvinist prince Georg I. Rákóczi and his son Georg II , he made a career in the judiciary and in the military. After his defeat, he was taken prisoner by the Turks. Released in 1660, Prince Michael I. Apafi , appointed by the Turks, regarded him as a competitor; In 1663 he was executed by the Turks. His diary is an important source at this time.

János Haller I (1626-1697)
János Haller II (1692–1756)

János Haller I (1626–1697), also son of Stefan I , was an important figure. During Apafi's reign he was a member of the opposition and spent a long time in captivity. He trained there in literature and translated books into Hungarian, and wrote a book himself on the history of Alexander the Great. After his release in 1682, he became a negotiator in Vienna, where he reached an agreement with the Habsburgs that became known as the Tractatus Hallerianus . In 1691 he was elected treasurer of Transylvania.

Stefan (István) Haller II. (1657–1710), eldest son of János I , became Hungarian under the new Habsburg rule in Transylvania, along with two Transylvanian Saxons , chairman of the government council in 1692 and thus governor of Transylvania until his death in 1710 . He was instrumental in the reorganization of the Roman Catholic Church in Transylvania. He was elevated to the status of hereditary baron in 1699 and, posthumously, in 1713 to the status of count , which passed to his sons Gábor, János II and László Haller. Janos II (1692–1756) also became governor in 1734 and remained so for 22 years, until his death; During his tenure there were arguments with the Reformed.

Franz Count Haller von Hallerkeö (1796–1875) was an Austrian general and from 1841–46 Ban of Croatia . Count Béla Haller (1854–1914) was a zoologist.

The Transylvanian line acquired several properties, including Fehéregyháza (Romanian Biely Kostol , German Weißkirchen ), Kerelőszentpál (Romanian: Sânpaul , German Paulsdorf ) in the Mureș district , Marosugra (Romanian Ogra , German Ugern ), Kapjon in the Cluj district (Romanian Coplean , German Kappen ), Küküllővár (Romanian Cetatea de Baltă , German Kokelburg ), Balázstelke (Romanian Blăjel , German Kleinblasendorf ), Csákigorbó (Romanian Gârbou , German Gorbau ).

History of the noble families in the free imperial city of Augsburg

A copy from the "History of the noble families in the free imperial city of Augsburg" by Paul von Stetten from 1752 provides detailed information about the presumed origins as well as the formation of numerous lines and their fates :

§. 30. Haller. Coat of arms T. VII. After 30. A. The ancient Haller's coat of arms. B. The coat of arms, which this family A. received in 1521. from Emperor Carl V after the death of the von Hallerstein family, and which is now used by all Hallers. Just as little can be said of this family among the Augsburg families, it is just as remarkable under the Nuremberg patriciate, and therefore worthy of its history being indented. According to some from Hall, their origin is said to have been in Swabia , and there they are said to have owned the noblest castle called Hall, and from which they got the name, also built St. Michaelis = Church (Braun, p. 44.). According to other reports, however, the oldest stay of the Hallers at Prague was in Bohemia, from where some of them went to Bamberg with Emperor Heinrich II , where they are said to have been mint masters . In the 12th Sæc, many are said to have sat down in Nuremberg and gone to council. But Ulrich Haller, called Obulus, was still A. 1280. Mint master in Bamberg. This Ulrich is believed to be the progenitor of the whole family. His sons Ulrich and Friederich donated two main lines in different places. Friederich moved to Coburg , where his descendants died out around the year 1400. Ulrich sat down A. 1293. from Bamberg to Nuremberg, where he was elected A. 1314. to the Rath.

His descendants have divided into four main lines, of which his sons Ulrich, Berchtold and Franzens lines are extinct, but Jacobs is still in the pile. This still blooming line has again expanded into four secondary lines, of which the Pauline and Georgian lines have again died out, but the Petrine and Jacobian lines are still in the pile. The former is divided into the Ludwig = Wolf = Ruprecht = and Wilhelmian lines. The former is extinct. The second settled in the Netherlands and had the same fate. The founder of the third has settled in Hungary , where his descendants were raised to the Frey = lords and counts = class, Wolf Dieterich from the Wilhelmische moved to the Netherlands, where his descendants died out. The rest of the Wilhelmian line are still in the pile in Nuremberg. From the second, still flourishing Jacob Haller line, three additional lines also arose at the beginning. The job table has already gone out. Hans Andreas von der Wolfischen has settled on his estates in the Upper Palatinate , but the rest are still in Nuremberg. Hieronymus Hallerische is also there in bloom. (Bidermanns sex = register of the patriciate in Nuremberg. T. XCIV-CXV.) From this narrative it can now easily be deduced that very few of these families were in Augsburg. But nobody got there like Christoph Haller, who was from the Wolf = Haller or Dutch secondary = line, which arose from the Petrinian line. In 1536 he married A. to Anna, Simon Imhof's daughter of Augsburg . (Marriage = B. Ad ha) But he gave up A. 1555 again, (Raths = Prot. Ad ha) and died A. 1581 in Lucern, Switzerland without male heirs.

The services that this family has made to the city of Nuremberg are no small. I find that over fifty have already been in the council, and that of these Martin A. 1400. Ruprecht A. 1478. Joachim A. 1570. Sebald A. 1595. Martin A. 1617. and Hans Willibald A. 1709. to the highest The losunger would have risen. (Biedermann 1.c.) Hans Bartolme A. was also appointed Reichs-Schultheisen in Frankfurt am Mayn in 1549, not to commemorate (Braun. P. 45.), like many of them in Nuremberg for the various courts care in the country and came. This family also made just as much merit by setting up charitable foundations. The foremost of these is the Pilgram Spital in Nuremberg , which A. Berchtold Haller founded in 1364 , and at the same time decreed that the oldest of the Haller family should be the administrator at all times. (Bidermann. L c. Braun. 1.c, 104-217. H h) In 1450 Georg Haller set up a foundation for clothes for the poor. Around the year 1358 Ulrich donated the St. Erhard's altar near St. Sebald, along with a benefice and soul device on it.

In the clergy, Reichart is famous from the Dutch line. He was in the company of JEsu and A. 1622. Königl. Spanish confession = father. Many have stayed in courtyards and brought them up. Alexius Haller was Emperor Maximilian I. Rath, Duke Albrecht of Saxony Ober = Renth = Master and Field = Captain in Friesland. His son of the same name, who last became Bamberg bailiff at Marlofstetten, followed him in these dignities. Conrad Haller JUD and knight was Emperor Carls V and King Ferdinand I as well as Bischöflich = Bambergischer Rath and Oestterreichischer Cammer = court assessor. Sebald Haller was Emperor Carl V's secret secretary. Wolfgang Haller Ritter was precisely this emperor's advice, regiment = advice and Cammerer zu Inspruck . Another, Wolfgang, was also commemorated emperor's council, syndicus in Spain and colonel = treasurer of Brussels. Christoph of the Augsburg family, was also commemorated emperor's council and was much royal from him. and sent to the royal courts as envoy. He was also a duke. Savoy councilor and court master. Wolfgang, was Emperor Carl V , Ferdinand I and Maximilians II Council and Empire = Pfennigmeister. Ruprecht the founder of the Hungarian line was King Ludwig's Colonel Richter and Rath in Hungary . Peter Haller was Emperor Ferdinand II. Colonel Governor in Hungary and Transylvania , Treasurer General and Cammer = Count of Sibiu . Gabriel Haller was governor in Transylvania and was elevated to the Frey = lords = status in 1609. One of his descendants was transferred to the empire = count = estate by Emperor Carl V in 1713 . Stephan Haller Kaiserl was one of them. Grand Ambassador at the Ottoman Porte, which dignity his son also wore. There have been many scholars among this family as well. Because it is praised by a Hans Haller, who died A. in 1493. that he wrote a book about the origins and origins of his family.

Schembartlauf from 1516 with coat of arms Peßler / Haller /?

A Wilhelm Haller is reported to have been a great lover of astronomy and music. Some have also made themselves known through the defense of academic treatises, of which Philipp Jacob A. 1684. under Ach. Chr. Ranger zu Königsberg defended the well-known dissertation De Patriciis, which should be noted here. In war, knights and soldiers, the following have made themselves famous and famous. Wilhelm Friederich, Hildebrand and Georg are said to have been at the tournament held in Nuremberg in 1197, and the latter the Emperor Heinrich VI. accompanied by 19th horses to Donauwerth , and in return , along with his family and the other companions, who have received confirmation of the aristocratic heritage. The latter, along with Sigmund Tucher and Hans Holzschuher, is said to have won the prize and received a dance immediately after the princes, and Friederich is said to have been a tournament = Vogt. Conrad Haller received his best thanks in A. 1451. Journeyman Employed at Nuremberg = Stechen. Heinrich Haller was a knight of the German order and moved with the German master Poppo von Osternow (who some even confuse with this Haller - Braun. 1. c. 217.) A. 1252. In the promised land. Eberhard was captain of the city of Nuremberg in the Hussite = war . (Braun. 1.c. 109) I will pass over many who have not made themselves so famous, just as it happened above, with those who stayed at courts, and I only add, Gabriel Hallern from the Hungarian line, which Kaiserl . Royal Hungarian general and owner of an infantry regiment and Johann Sebastian Hallern, who in 1745 of the Franconian district became general field = marshal = lieutenant.

This family also owned very fine goods. Ulrich, the tribe = father of the Nuremberg line, bought A. 1307. from Count Gottfried von Schluesselberg , the village of Lauf with all authority, which is now a Nuremberg township. (Del. Topo-Geogr. Nor. P. 68.) His son Ulrich bought A. 1324. from the burgraves the village of Kalchreuth , which the family is still entitled to. (ibid. p. 32.) Some of his descendants of the same name owned the now also Nürnbergische Pfleg-Little Town Gräfenberg , (ibid. p. 76) as well Dachsbach that Helfte of Duke = Aurach George owned the castle and market Osternow sold but afterwards it goes to the burgraves, so it is at present a Bareuth supreme office. Martin Haller owned A. 1638. Various rights in the now also Nürnbergische Pflege = town in Herspruck. Andreas and Hieronymus had a share in Eschenau. Petern belonged to A. 1400. Ziegenstein , which is now Imhofisch. Conrad owned A. 1526. Caschau in Hungary. The Georg Hallerische Linie owned the Bruckberg Castle for a long time , but around 1500, Georg Hallern sold it to Christoph Rothhan in exchange for the Buckenhof Castle and Gut Buckenhof , but the Haller family still owns this Buckenhof as a tribe = Gut und Majorat . (ibid. p. 28.) Christoph Haller of Augspurg . Genders, owned besides Ziegelstein also Warneck, Waldstein and the seat Stockerode along with 22nd places belonging to it as Bohemian fiefdoms. Wolf Hallern belonged to Rohrbruck not far from Speyr. Philipp Jacob Haller and his descendants owned Weyherhauß. (ibid. p. 87) Jobst Haller owned Haußeck and Ober = Hirschbach, but his son brought Malmesbach into the family, (ibid. p. 35) Ernst belonged to Helmstädt, Carl Hallern, however, Alt = and Grünen Linden, and finally brought Hans Conrad Pfaffenhofen in the Upper Palatinate to his family.

The Hungarian line of this sex owns the counties of Kuküllo and Tord . Incidentally, this family also pillory with special imperial freedoms. Emperor Frederick IV gave them A. 1433. the privilege of wearing a gold helmet with a crone on their coat of arms A. In 1478. he confirmed their noble origins, and in the same year he granted them freedom from alienating the empire Fiefdom. (dd. Grätz, October 4th, 1478) Emperor Carl the V honored them with the privilege of writing to Haller von Hallerstein and wearing a squared coat of arms with a 2nd tournament = helmets, because the von Hallerstein family died out to write of their goods and to seal them with red wax. (dd. Worms April 1, 1521. Ef. ad omnia Bidermann 1.c.)
