Jakob II. Pütrich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Pütrich (* 1523 ; † December 12, 1594 ) came from the Munich patrician family of the Pütrichs and, as Jakob II, was Prince Provost of Berchtesgaden from 1567 to 1594 .

Live and act

In 1558, his predecessor Wolfgang II. Griesstätter zu Haslach called on the Augustinian canon Jakob Pütrich, "a well-mannered man experienced in secular and spiritual matters", from the chapter of eleven Bavarian and Salzburg nobles as coadjutor in order to build him up as his successor . But in order to gain approval for the office of coadjutor, Pütrich had to be the first of the Berchtesgaden monastery to enter into an election surrender and make promises to the canons that their incomes would be increased and better accommodation provided. He should also hire a preacher to relieve them of this task and entrust suitable capitulars with certain offices for which they in turn would have to claim special payments.

When he was elected prince provost, he still had to expand his concessions: higher earnings in terms of money and food such as wine and “men's bread”. In addition, the consent of the canons to be more distracted through hunting, fishing, pleasure trips on the Königssee and the like. The weakened or dependent position as prince provost evident from this also clearly showed how much the canons were “secular” and wanted to do less and less themselves, but wanted to enjoy all the more.

As Jacob II, in 1572, following the example of the Archbishops of Salzburg, he ordered "several subjects on the Dürrnberg who had broken away from the faith to move out of the country."

He did not have sacred but secular buildings erected, like the small summer palace Etzerschlößl at the foot of the Gern , which was demolished in 1960 , but which was also temporarily open to citizens as a place of refuge in the event of an epidemic. With its ten rooms, originally equipped with precious stone pine paneling and artistic stoves, the Etzerschlößl later passed to various owners and was most recently used as a children's home. The Etzermühle , which belongs to the ensemble and was also demolished because of its dilapidation, was one of the “most old romantic buildings in the country” and located at the outlet of the Gerer Bach. In addition, the Gasthaus Neuhaus and the Meierhöfe Dietfeld and Rosenhof were built on Pütrich's order, the latter of which initially functioned as a pancake house .

In 1582 he acquired, among others , the Hofmark Wasentegernbach including moated castle from Aham von Laiming , which remained in the possession of the prince-provost of Berchtesgaden until secularization (1803) . The moated castle served the prince provosts caretakers , some of whom are buried in Wasentegernbach or Schwindkirchen , as the administrative center of the court brands Wasentegernbach, Eibach , Haus and Breitenloh , and later also Grüntegernbach , all of which are now districts of the city of Dorfen . The coat of arms of this Hofmark, see also the copper engraving by Michael Wening on the right , was that of the prince provost's office with a central shield of the prince provost who was currently in office, who in the engraving therefore does not refer to the acquirer of the Hofmark Jakob II. Pütrich, but to the person beyond the creation of the engraving Joseph Clemens of Bavaria was to represent the incumbent administrator of the Prince Provost of Cologne for many years .

During his reign there was a manslaughter within the monastery walls on August 24th, 1583, when the chaplain Caspar Pritzner stabbed a table knife in the body of the capitular Georg von Weissenburg after an argument during dinner . The lay priest was immediately arrested and the incident reported to Rome. The “special dish” compiled by Salzburg's Archbishop Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi , made up of several abbots and provosts , came to a verdict in February 1585: expulsion from the priesthood and five years in prison. In 1588 Pritzner managed to escape and his trail was lost.

A little later, the Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, elected in 1587, opened a new round to incorporate the Berchtesgadener Land and its benefices into his diocese of Salzburg. To do this, he first increased the price of salt in order to then invite Pütrich to "negotiations". Captured, he should “think” within three days about whether he would approve the price increases or accept the suspension of the salt transport from Schellenberg . After signing the contract that had been squeezed out in this way, Pütrich in Berchtesgaden immediately revoked it and finally found support from the still young Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria . Against the will of a part of the population and the capitulars, who had already moved to Salzburg as newly won supporters of the archbishop and were later no longer allowed to return, he put 12-year-old Ferdinand through as coadjutor in 1591 . When the archbishop and his troops invaded Berchtesgaden to take possession of it, Pütrich had already fled to Munich. Ferdinand's father, Duke Wilhelm V, drove the Salzburgers out of his son's future property in 1591 - after Pütrich's death, the prince-provost of Berchtesgaden, as agreed, went into his Electoral Cologne administration and remained there for two other regents.

After his death, according to the inventory results of February 21, 1595, Jakob Pütrich left behind a “considerable legacy” of silver tableware that had probably already been collected by his ancestors. The place of his tomb is unknown.

Family history

The first documentary mention of the family, who came from the Rhineland (according to another source: from Regensburg) and then worked in Munich for centuries, comes from around 1189. The name "Pütrich" could be derived from the name Pütsche for an old measure of salt - one their coat of arms shows two wine or salt barrels. The Pütrich were among the wealthy Munich patricians like Ligsalz , Barth or Dichtl , who were also raised to the landed gentry in the 14th and 15th centuries . From the 13th to the 15th century the family provided several city councilors, city treasurers and mayors of the city of Munich . In 1451 Pope Nicholas V called the Pütrichs "noble men" ( nobiles viros de Puttreich ) in a bull .
