Hans von Graben zum Stein, coat of arms in the street named after him in the old town of Lienz

Hans (Johann) von Graben zum (von) Stein, the Elder († 1587/91) was a Carinthian nobleman who had lived in the 16th century .

biography

He was born to the illegitimate Meinhardin descendants, the Lords of Graben , in the period after their political heyday . As the son of the high-ranking military officer Lukas von Graben zum Stein and grandson of the Görzischen provincial administrator Virgil von Graben , he received their rich fortune and property as an inheritance.

In addition to the Stein rule and the Stein Castle of the same name , his father inherited an additional princely fiefdom based on the Weidenburg castle ruins . In 1545 he sold it to Sigmund Khevenhüller zu Aichelberg . Von Graben zum Stein also owned the Günn residence in Schwaz . The residence was cleared for Von Graben zum Stein in 1567 . In the city of Lienz , Hans von Graben zum Stein worked as a city ​​judge . In 1578 Hans and his brother Georg von Graben zum Stein had the Church of the Holy Sepulcher built in Toblach , and they also owned the Autumn Castle there for a time . The street on which the Graben residence was located was named Hans von Graben Gasse in his honor. In the files of Emperor Charles V , he is mentioned because of an improvement in the coat of arms and other privileges.

progeny

According to Bucelin, Hans von Graben zum Stein was married twice; first with Anna Straufen, and in 1576 with Margarita Manndorfferin (von Manndorff) .

Descendants from the first marriage:

  • Barbara von Graben zum Stein († 1580), wife of Hans Krüner († 1581)
  • Hans von Graben to stone the Younger († 1593), whose son Oswald of digging for stone put the line on the stone fort
  • Virgil von Graben zum Stein (mentioned 1558–1570), married Apolonia von Kuenburg (January 31, 1532- after 1584)

Descendants from the second marriage:

  • Christoph von Graben zum Stein (named 1575), married Ursula Wilandin
  • Georg von Graben zum Stein (named 1575)
  • Catharina von Graben zum Stein (named 1577)
  • Elisabeth von Graben zum Stein

After Hansen's son of the same name, Hans von Graben zum Stein the Younger, died in 1593, ownership of Stein passed to his son Oswald von Graben zum Stein († 1609). Adam von Staudach acted as guardian for him and his siblings. On October 1, 1595, Oswald asked the Lower Austrian government to extend the award of Stein Castle for himself and his siblings. After the great fire in Lienz in 1609, Oswald von Graben zum Stein, then mountain judge from Lienz, and three other experts were appointed to a commission to research the causes of this disaster.

Since Oswald had no descendants, Stein inherited his great cousin Hans Christof von Graben († 1628) from the Second Tyrolean Line , who was active in Carinthia and Tyrol. Christof von Graben was married to Magdalena von Katzenloher-Fraburg, through whom he also came into possession of the Fragburg in Villanders . His son Christof David von Graben zum Stein (also Graben von Grabenstein) († 1664) moved to Tyrol and was the last Von Graben to appear as Herr von Stein. That was firm officials and sting Schützenmeister in Innsbruck (1618), came in 1608 in the possession of the Innsbruck town house wine Hart House in Stiftgasse 11 Eben This was between the years 1609 and 1614 in the possession of Fieger houses in the Maria Theresa Street 35. Furthermore, Von Graben acquired the town house Czichna-Haus in Stiftgasse 23 in 1639. This marriage (probably) had no descendants.

Inheritance disputes over the rule of Stein

An inheritance dispute developed over the Stein dominion, which had high tax debts, because both the Von Graben of the Third Tyrolean Line and the Lamberg made inheritance claims on Stein. Hans [Johann] Karl von Graben, husband of Helene von Mörl and captain (head) of the Tyrolean militia , had already tried to secure the inheritance of his Carinthian grand cousin while Christof David von Graben zum Stein was still alive. When Hans Karl inquired about the exact relationship to the Von Graben von Stein remaining in Carinthia, he (I have to) had to hear the most painful, it was said that von Graben who lived in Tyrol were bastards who had emigrated from Carinthia . Hans Karl therefore set up an exact family tree in which he could clearly be viewed as a descendant of Virgil von Graben . After careful research, he realized that at that time, as reasons of age, he did not seem to have acted as a fiefdom recipient, but rather his son Lukas von Graben zum Stein , the older brother of Hans Karl's father Georg von Graben. Thus, Hans Karl was only a side relative of the first fief recipient and, according to the succession, was not entitled to inheritance, since only direct descendants of Lukas von Graben zum Stein, but also those of his brother Bartlmä von Graben, were entitled to inheritance.

Carl von Graben (zum Stein), probably a brother of Hans Karl, also wanted to secure the stone inheritance. The chief sergeant who fought in Spain in front of Barcelona left two sons and two daughters. His two sons were Otto Heinrich and Johann Sigismund von Graben (zum Stein). Otto Heinrich von Graben (zum Stein) was secretary of the Upper Austrian court chamber and could also not claim the rule of Stein. The inheritance fell back to the Habsburg sovereigns because the Lamberger were only related to the Von Graben zum (von) Stein through the female line.

The saga writer, writer and temporary vice-president of the Prussian Academy of Sciences Otto von Graben zum Stein could probably have been a son of Otto Heinrich von Graben (zum Stein).
