Jobst from Oberweinmar

Jobst von Oberweinmar (* around 1485 ; † 1526 ) was a knight , imperial councilor and envoy under Maximilian I and owner of the Falkenstein rule in Upper Austria.

family

Jobst von Oberweinmar (also Oberweinmair, Oberweinmaier, Oberweimar) comes from an old knight family in Thuringia, which has been occupied with knight Friedrich von Oberweinmar since 1253 and which only appears to have died out in the 17th century. The nun Florentina von Oberweinmar (* around 1506; † unknown), who became known as a follower of Martin Luther and pamphlet author of the Reformation , also belongs to this sex . His short, wandering life fell into the transition period of the late Middle Ages, when the knighthood increasingly lost its military and economic importance. Like many knights of that time, Oberweinmar is still militarily active, but is increasingly turning to civilian tasks. As an imperial envoy, Oberweinmar appears at points of conflict in history and usually only fleetingly on the sidelines of major events, for example in the dispute between imperial princes or when mobilizing against the Turks. Direct successes of his diplomatic endeavors are accordingly difficult to prove. Oberweimar marries a niece of the more famous imperial ambassador, Siegmund von Herberstein .

Imperial envoy

Oberweinmar first appeared in 1501 in the court of Empress Bianca Maria Sforza , where he probably received his court education as a noble boy. In the Landshut War of Succession in 1505 he served as an imperial captain under Reinprecht von Reichenburg and camped in parish churches in Upper Austria (near his later possession Falkenstein). In 1509 he was commissioned by Emperor Maximilian to investigate the dispute between the University of Freiburg and the St. Märgen Monastery to investigate the murder of Rector Georg Nothofer. The alleged murderer, Johann Gaudenz zu Blumeneck, was also part of the circle of Empress Bianca Maria through his father, the imperial councilor Dietrich von Blumeneck, and was perhaps personally known to Oberweinmar. In 1513 Oberweinmar was in the service of Duke Heinrich the Elder of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and seems to have taken part in a campaign to Geldern. In 1518, Emperor Maximilian sent him on a three-month mission to Prussia and Denmark to promote peace in the north of the empire. Together with Georg von Eltz, he moves to Königsberg to call on the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order, Albrecht von Prussia , to cease hostilities against Poland. In April of the same year he arrives in Copenhagen, where King Christian II had been at war with Sweden for years. The king was married to Isabella of Austria , the emperor's granddaughter, but had long neglected her in favor of his mistress. Oberweinmar was very dissatisfied with his acceptance at court and his appearance is said to have caused embarrassing impressions. In the same year Oberweinmar was sent to Hungary, where he and Johannes Cuspinian and Johannes Mrakesch visited the young King Ludwig II of Bohemia and Hungary in the Batsch (Bač) monastery, a gathering place for the defensive army against the Turks, which a few years later was they are also overrun. In 1522, Oberweinmar was appointed envoy by Emperor Karl V to mediate in the so-called Hildesheim collegiate feud and to call on Bishop Johannes IV of Hildesheim, who was victorious in the Battle of Soltau, to surrender all conquered territories and the prisoners. Soon afterwards he seems to have retired from imperial service.

Owner of the Falkenstein estate

On October 21, 1521, Oberweinmar takes over the royal castle and rule of Falkenstein in Upper Austria with the permission of Archduke Ferdinand I of Austria . Soon thereafter, on October 21, 1523, he married Barbara von Herberstein (* 1507; † November 27, 1551) the daughter of Georg III. von Herberstein and Margaretha, née von Rotthal. Oberweinmar dies in 1526, allegedly in the war against the Turks near Esseg (Osijek). His widow married Georg von Wolfenreuth, and his daughter Kunigunde married Christoph Adler von Gurnitz on November 4, 1548. After Oberweinmar's death, Archduke Ferdinand assigned the Falkenstein rule to Georg von Herberstein, Oberweinmar's father-in-law, on December 21, 1527. According to a later tradition, Oberweinmar is said to have had a sister, Agnes, who is said to have married Hermann Salburger . Their presumed son, Bartholomäus Salburger , has been the keeper of the Falkenstein estate since 1542. This relationship has not yet been documented.
