Hohenburg

The Hohenbourg is an Outbound Höhenburg ( slope Burg ) at Igls in Nordtirol , near Innsbruck. The Schloss Hohenburg estate, which fell into disrepair in the 17th century, stands on a small hill east of the town above Lanserstrasse .

history

Hohenburg, between Igels , Langs and Patscher Koffel , southeast of Insprug
(approx. 1700, section from Insprug with the area over 2 hours )

A watchtower may have stood here as early as the 13th century (first documented mention in 1345). He secured the direct goods route from the Inn Bridge near Volders to Brennerstraße near Matrei , and together with the Viller Burg Straßfried the way to Innsbruck. Even Roman stems seem possible.

Mining was probably also carried out around the castle, ores in the local quartz phyllite , which is reported in documents from the Hall Mint as well as in local legends, as well as in the fairy tale that there was a tunnel under the Sill to the Natterer Waidburg (which probably refers to old, today collapsed excavations in the Sill Gorge ).

The main house fell into disrepair as early as the 17th century.

Owner story

A Hartwig of Hohenburger appears in 1311 as a witness to a document from King Heinrich of Bohemia , whereby a Hildebrand von Perchtingen is also mentioned in this document; his son Heinrich explicitly called himself von Hohenburg in 1335 , and it can be assumed that he was a servant of the Perchtingers at their headquarters in Igls. The Perchtinger come from Bavaria and probably came to Tyrol as their ministerial after the counts of Andechs were revived (1232) . After a legal dispute with Hildebrand's widow, his son Heinrich receives Hohenburg through an arbitration award. Shortly before his death, he transferred his property to the abbot of Wilten as a soul device , but this donation was not given to the abbot Johann von Wilten until 1370 by Heinrich's widow, Alhayt. At the beginning of the 15th century the Hohenburg was imprinted on the closter against his will by the Tyrolean sovereign, Duke Friedrich, with the empty pocket . Duke Friedrich transfers the Hohenburg as a fief in 1425 to his court master Ulrich von Weispriach, who "sends" it in 1438 for Jörg Dieperskircher. Jörg Dieperskircher was the caretaker of Thaur , Ambras and Imst . In 1488 he was followed by his son Hans, the keeper of the snow castle . He was followed in 1517 by his son Wolfgang, a judge in Stubai , then his brother Rueland, nurse Berneck in 1528 and his nephew Christoph in 1540. In 1547 Christoph Dieperskircher sold the fiefdom to Martin Yphofer. Archduke Ferdinand bought it from him and passed it on to his wife Philippine Welser .

After the death of the Philippine Welser's heir, Karl von Burgau , Hohenburg falls back to the House of Habsburg and is transferred by Archduke Ferdinand Karl to the chief forestry officer Andre Voglmayr. Other owners follow: Dr. Isaak von Hefter (1666), De Lama (1735), von Tasch (1775), Othmar Riccabona von Reichenfels (1809), Professor von Ficker (1898), the Jesuit Order (1968) and finally Brigitte Magis (1971), née Huter.

From 1877, in the wake of the Igl villa building boom, Othmar Riccabona built another building, which the Innsbruck historian Julius Ficker acquired and lived in during the summer months until his death in 1902. After that it was used as a hotel for a while; today it is a private residence.

Building description

Today's Hohenburg Castle is a multi-storey building reminiscent of the castle in the local style, which probably follows the foundation walls of the old residential tower . The stair tower was added. The castle presents itself with a hipped roof , half-timbered dormers and -turmaufsatz, white with golden window surrounds and yellow-red painted Eckquaderung , gefärbelt Renaissance, and red-white-red shutters in the castle style.

The house is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.
