history
The lords of Klingfurth also owned the estates in and around Lanzenkirchen . According to this, the Klingfurther were feudal owners of the Lanzenkirchen rule as early as 1260. In 1377 they sold their fiefdom to the Lanzenkirchner. From the series of the Lords of Klingfurth, the following are known in connection with Lanzenkirchen: Wulfker - In 1262 he owned three farms in Lanzenkirchen.
Around 1300 Wulfing von Chlingfurth owned the Lanzenkirchen fortress. On this occasion it is mentioned: The Klingfurther were a noble family who named themselves after the place Klingfurth and had a sword blade in their coat of arms. At the beginning of the 14th century, this family recorded a strong rise and also had citizenship in Neustadt . Wulfing had two sons: Heinrich and Wulfing. Heinrich was probably the older one. The news of a document being signed has been preserved from him. It dates from January 6, 1332. Heinrich soon ended his life, however, by being assassinated.
Wulfing der Chlingfurther took over the entire estate of his father. Heinrich's son Stephan however demanded his inheritance. An arbitration tribunal ordered that everything be shared honestly in order to be good friends in the future.
In the period from 1358 to 1365 Rudolf von Klingfurth was notorious as a “ robber baron ”. In 1364 Wulfing pledged all of his property - with the exception of the goods in Schwarzenbach - to Stephan so that he could give his daughter a trousseau in the marriage. Should Wulfing no longer be able to redeem the pledge during his lifetime, Stephan should keep it as legally acquired.
The Lords of Klingfurth were the owners of the Schwarzenbach estate in the 14th century and also the Schwarzenbach Castle .
Perwald von Klingfurth, who was the bishop of Passau's bailiff at Zeiselmauer , also owned properties in and around Klingfurth, most of which he sold to the richest citizen of Wiener Neustadt at the time - Michael Prenner .
