Seifriedsberg rule
The castle Seifriedsberg is as the center of rule Seifriedsberg already on April 4, 1251 as the seat of Staufen ministerials mentioned Konrad Spannagelhaus.
history
The rule consisted largely of former Guelph goods and rights. Around Ziemetshausen was one of the main points of ownership of the Welfs . An ancestor of the above Spannagel, also with the name Konrad, appears in a document from Welf VI in 1183. for the Steingaden Monastery as a witness among the Guelph ministerials. The earlier assumption, probably derived from the name, that the Augsburg Bishop Siegfried III. von Rechberg (1208–1227) built "Sifritsperc" is incorrect. Seifriedsberg was a fiefdom that the Staufers had taken over from the Guelphs. The name Seifriedsberg should come from the Spannagel / von Hattenberg family, in which the name Siegfried is repeatedly used (e.g. 1237 Urk. Steingaden "Sivrido Spannagel", July 13, 1264 Oberschönefeld Monastery "Sivridus dictus de Hattenperch"). Probably around 1280 the Margraviate of Burgau was enfeoffed by the Habsburg King Rudolf I with Seifriedsberg. Margrave Heinrich II. Von Burgau and his grandson, Margrave Heinrich (III.) Certify the sale of Seifriedsberg Castle on April 5, 1293, including to Bishop Wolfhart von Augsburg and his church. Around 1306 Seifriedsberg is in the hands of the Habsburgs. On the occasion of a loan transaction, the Habsburgs pledged Seifriedsberg Castle to the influential Ulm citizen Ulrich Kunzelmann around 1306. Heinrich III., The last Margrave of Burgau from the Berg family, handed the margraviate over to the cousin of his wife Margareta (von Hohenberg), King Albrecht of the Habsburgs, around 1301. On July 15, 1312, the now Austrian margraves of Burgau, the sons of King Albrecht, who was murdered in 1308, the dukes Friedrich and Leopold, redeemed the Pfandbrief to Seifriedsberg Castle. Already on October 9, 1314, the Habsburgs sold Seifriedsberg and its members again to the Augsburg Church under Bishop Friedrich I, in whose possession the rule remained for 172 years. The extensive affiliation of Seifriedsberg Castle can be found in the land register of the Hochstiftischen estates from 1316. After the Habsburgs regained control, they pawned it from 1515 to 1614 to the Villingen von Schöneberg family. They built the castle, which later underwent some additions and alterations. From 1614/15 Margrave Karl von Burgau was named as the owner for a short time. In 1619 Archduke Leopold pledged the rule to Countess Maria Fugger zu Kirchheim. In 1628 it went to the chamberlain and chief hunter of the margraviate Burgau Jakob de Saint Vincent. With the foundation of the miraculous image and the building of a field chapel near Seifriedsberg in 1650, he laid the foundation stone for the Maria Vesperbild pilgrimage, which is now flourishing.
On November 2, 1667, Count Ernst zu Öttingen and Wallerstein bought the Seifriedsberg pledge. After the pledge was terminated, the Austrians wanted to give Seifriedsberg in April 1751 primarily for a large sum as a man's fief to their equestrian general, Count Paul von Bettoni. After consultation with other branches of his family, Philipp Karl Graf zu Oettingen-Wallerstein was able to raise the purchase price for this contract and finally take over the rule as an Austrian man fief.
After almost 350 years at Seifriedsberg Castle, the Oettingen-Wallerstein house sold it into private hands in 2016. The beautiful forest-botanical park with its partly exotic trees, which was created in 1848, is still open to visitors.
