Tanner (noble family)
The Tanner, or the Lords of Tann, are a noble family from Salzburg who were found in the Archdiocese of Salzburg between the 10th and 14th centuries . The Tanner were up to their demise representing ( after fief ) of the Dukes of Bavaria Erbkämmerer of the Archdiocese of Salzburg.
The first of this family seems to have been a Rambertus de Tanna , who appears in various documents between 1060 and 1070 and came from Muntigl near Bergheim . This Tanner was a ministerial of the archbishops of Salzburg and had the task of acquiring the area around the Wallersee for the bishopric of Salzburg . An Ekkehard Tanner (approx. * 1225, † 1304) documents between 1245 and 1285. His two sons Conrad and Ekkard von Tann establish two family lines:
Conrad can be traced between 1270 and 1326. He was married to a Countess von Ortenburg and founded the Wartenfels line , named after the castle near Thalgau . He built this castle together with his son-in-law Konrad zu Kalham, who then called himself Konrad von Wartenfels. The castle appears in documents from 1267 and was sold by another Konrad von Kalham with the goods belonging to it to the Archbishop of Salzburg , Konrad IV , as early as 1301 .
The other brother Ekkard von Tann can be traced back to Altentann and Schloss Ibm . His sons Niklas and Eckard shared their paternal estate in 1331, and the former was given the office of Lichtentann , the second the office of Altenthann. Both possessed exercised high jurisdiction . After Eckhart XI's death. (of the son Niklas von Tann) Archbishop Ortolf von Weißeneck moved in 1302 the castle Lichtentann, the court Köstendorf and a large part of the Tanner possessions as fallen fiefdom .
In 1358 the "Tanner feud" begins, in which twenty Salzburg and Bavarian nobles named Tanner Eckhart XII. supported in the fight against Archbishop Ortolf. This feud was based on the fact that the Salzburg nobility did not want to accept the transfer of fiefdom from the Bavarian dukes to the Salzburg archbishop and the associated loss of bailiwick rights (jurisdiction). Despite various peace agreements, the armed conflicts never ended. The feud initially ended with Eckhart XII. Lichtentann Castle to the Archbishop and had to withdraw to the Ibm Fortress, which he had received in 1379 as a Bavarian fief. Altentann fell to the Archbishop of Salzburg as early as 1391 . The war was only ended with the extinction of the Tanners in 1398.
With the Salzburg canon Eckhard XIV von Tann, the von Tann family died out in 1398.
