Laiming (also Leiminger , Layming or Laymingen ) is the name of an old Upper Bavarian noble family . The headquarters of the same name of the Lords of Laiming is now part of the municipality of Griesstätt in the Rosenheim district .
history
As early as the middle of the 12th century, members of the family named themselves after their ancestral home in Laiming, south of Wasserburg . They were ministerials to the Counts of Wasserburg. In the first half of the 14th century, the castle with the court rights was sold piece by piece to the Altenhohenau convent .
Two main lines were formed, the first with the new headquarters in Aham an der Vils and the Tegernbach and Rottenegg Castle near Dorfen an der Isen and the second in Amerang with Amerang Castle and Forchtenegg Castle (now part of the municipality of Halfing ) nearby of their old residence. As grave laying the first line served a chapel in Seeon , the second line had its burial in the Parish in Halfing.
The fortress Tegernbach was acquired by Erasmus Laiminger von Amerang in 1393. His descendants united the ruler's coat of arms , a "golden, rising lion in the red field, captured in a white gate (grid)" with theirs . On May 8, 1434 in Basel, Emperor Sigismund granted Erasmus von Laiming this coat of arms improvement with the permission to use a gold helmet crown instead of the red one .
Significant relatives have emerged from this gender. Leonhard von Laiming (* 1381; † 1451) was Prince-Bishop of Passau from 1423 to 1451 . He was in high favor with Pope Pius II. The secular members held high offices at the court of the Dukes of Bavaria , where they provided caretakers at almost all castles in the duchy. Towards the end of the 16th century, only the line from Aham-Tegernbach flourished.
Erasmus von Laiming, who was given the seats in Tegernbach and Rottenegg with his brother when the family estate was divided, married Agnes, daughter of the ducal-Württemberg court master von Plieningen . He became Obervogt of Stuttgart , later a privy councilor and court master. In 1579 he received the Lindach Castle near Schwäbisch Gmünd zu Lehen from Duke Ludwig von Württemberg , which his descendants owned together with other acquisitions until 1679. Aham, grandson of Erasmus III., Sold the ancient fortress Tegernbach to the prince provost of Berchtesgaden Jakob II. Pütrich . His son Ahaz of Laiming, Regierungsrat in Stuttgart, and his aunt Marie Sabina, widowed Baroness von Tannberg, were on May 10, 1640 to Vienna by Emperor Ferdinand III. raised to the baron status of the Holy Roman Empire .
Because of the Württemberg fiefdom of Lindach, the lords of Laiming had been a member of the imperial knighthood in the knightly canton of Kocher since 1592 and from 1628, because of Bodelshofen being enfeoffed in 1618 , a member of the knightly canton of Neckar-Black Forest of the Swabian knight circle. The male family died out in 1679 .
