Hundt to Lautterbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family coat of arms of the Hundt zu Lautterbach

The family of Hundt zu Lautterbach or Hundt zu Lauterbach is one of the ministry of the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg in the 12th and 13th centuries. Century ascended Catholic family, which is still based in Upper Bavaria today. Your family chronicler Wiguleus Hundt (1514–1588) writes that his family came from the Pinzgau in Salzburg and was closely related to the von der Alben and Thorern families (probably Thor near Saalfelden).

The family is not to be confused with the Upper Palatinate family von Hundt and the Silesian barons von Hundt and Alten-Grottkau. In the German-speaking area, nine genders can be identified using the name "Hundt" or "Hund". None of them have any verifiable genealogical connection to the old Bavarian Hundt.

history

Origin of the old Bavarian line

Lauterbach Castle in Bergkirchen

The old Bavarian Hundt go back to Hans I. Hundt (d. 1380), the Salzburg keeper of Lichtenberg (today Austria). His grandson Hans III. became the progenitor of the old Bavarian line. He married Martha, the daughter of Konrad Dachauer von Lauterbach (d. 1439), with half of Burg and Hofmark Lauterbach ( Bergkirchen municipality , Dachau district ) in what was then the Upper Bavarian district court of Dachau . The family ties in Pinzgau in Salzburg remained in place until the Pinzgau branch died out in 1630 due to the siblings.

Split into the Lauterbach, Kaltenberg and Falkenstein lines

The two firstborn sons of Hans III. entered remarkable marriages:

Kaltenberg Castle
  • The second son from his first marriage, Hans IV., From 1475 to 1481 district judge in Dachau, married the illegitimate daughter Margreth (died 1506) of Duke Sigmund of Bavaria (1439–1501, who was Duke of Bavaria-Munich from 1460 to 1467) ruled). The marriage remained childless.
  • Engelmar I. from the second marriage of Hans III. continued the Lauterbach main line. He was married to Dorothea von Adelshofen. Engelmars' I son Georg or Jörg (1503–1566) succeeded in 1539 in acquiring shares in the 4/6 line that was meanwhile in Kaltenberg. He was with a daughter of the Augsburg syndic and councilor Dr. Konrad Rehlinger (1470–1553) married. The main building that can be seen in Lauterbach , a three-story two-wing complex with a set stair tower, goes back to Georg. In 1552 he bought the Falkenstein rule in the lower Inn Valley from Duke Albrecht V (r. 1550–1579) for 10,000 guilders.
  • The second-born Hanns Christoph inherited Lauterbach and became the progenitor of the Lauterbach and Unterweikertshofen family, which has flourished to the present day .

Officials and soldiers, canons and nuns

In the course of time, many Hundt served as civil servants and soldiers not only in the ducal or electoral Bavarian, but also in archbishopric-Salzburg, prince-bishop-Eichstätt, electoral-Palatinate, Habsburg-Austrian and imperial services. The Hundt can be identified primarily as carers and judges, but also in court service (court councilor, court chamber) of the Bavarian dukes and electors. Otherwise they led the lives of noble court lords.

Ecclesiastical careers were rather rare for the male descendants: Christoph Hundt (died 1549) from the Kaltenberg line can be proven as a canon in Eichstätt.

Daughters can be found as nuns in leading positions in the monasteries Altenhohenau (district of Rosenheim) (Dominican women ), Frauenchiemsee (district of Rosenheim), Geisenfeld (district of Pfaffenhofen adIlm), Neuburg an der Donau (district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen) and in Württemberg Urspring (all Benedictine women). In the 18th century, under the Electors Max Emanuel (ruled 1679–1726), Karl Albrecht (ruled 1726–1745, Emperor from 1742) and Max III. Joseph (r. 1745–1777) and their wives, there are countesses von Hundt by marriage as maid of honor in the court of the respective electresses.

present

Unterweikertshofen Castle

The Hundt family is one of the few flourishing families in Old Bavaria that dates back to the late Middle Ages. Twice in the 20th century the main line Lauterbach was threatened with extinction at the castles Lauterbach and Unterweikertshofen. But Wolf Dietrich Wiguleus and Christoph Maximilian Hundt continue the family tradition in the two lines to Unterweikertshofen and Lauterbach.

Status surveys

The Hundt came from the ministry and belonged to the lower nobility . Since 1470 the family had been in the country and represented with a seat and vote in the Upper Bavarian state parliament on the knight's bench. On November 3, 1681, Franz Maximilian von Hundt zu Lauterbach and Eisolzried (1662-1706) was raised to the state of Bavarian baron by Elector Max Emanuel .

On May 11, 1701, Emperor Leopold I (ruled 1658–1705) granted him and his heirs the status of imperial count . Since the Hundt had no immediate imperial territory, it was a purely honorary title, i.e. a post office . In 1703, Elector Max Emanuel confirmed the increase in rank. Since then, the Hundt have been allowed to call themselves "Hund Grafen von und zu Lauterbach" and be addressed as "Well-born". In 1812 the Hundt were enrolled in the class of domestic counts, so the title of imperial count was dropped.

coat of arms

The family coat of arms shows two silver eagle wings covered with a black bar in red. On the helmet with red-and-silver blankets, a red-clad moor's trunk with a silver forehead band and a silver collar, instead of the arms, flanked by the wings of the shield.

The increased coat of arms is divided into four fields. The first and fourth fields show two silver eagle wings with two black bars on a red background. The other two fields show a golden dog on a blue background. The dog is wearing a collar. Three helmets are placed over the coat of arms. The central helmet shows the red-clad moor's trunk with a silver forehead band and a silver collar. In place of the arms, the silver eagle wings are attached with two black bars. The motif is flanked on both sides by a helmet with a golden dog on each.
