Detail: Lorenz Schütter's family depicted on the epitaph in the Münzbach parish church

Lorenz Schütter von Klingenberg († September 2, 1599 in Vienna ) was a pfennig master and upper thirty (tax collector) in Hungarian Altenburg , Imperial Council and later from the 1590s as a knight member of the Upper Austrian estates . He was a Protestant . He died in 1599 and was buried in the family crypt newly built by Friedrich Thön and his workshop in the Münzbach parish church.

His father-in-law, Georg Kirchhamer, trader in Vienna, Outer Council of Vienna , set up the Kirchhamer Foundation (also known as Münzbacher Foundation) and after his death Lorenz Schütter was entrusted as its administrator from 1593 onwards, with the proceeds, among other things, for efforts to use the creation of a private Protestant school system for boys. Only his son, Georg Schütter, founded the Kirchhamerische Stiftschule, a Protestant Latin school that lasted until 1625 , with the help of the foundation . Joachim Enzmilner took over the continuation of the foundation in 1641 and now ran the school as a Catholic alumnate .

Around 1600, its administrators issued the “Schütterschen Corpus” for the Münzbach market , a civil handling order that was valid until the second half of the 18th century.

Live and act

The shakers were originally one for the habsburgersche imperial family working class family . Lorenz Schütter was the provision manager and later the court paymaster's office administrator. Together with his brother Georg he came to a considerable fortune in the 2nd Austrian Turkish War (1566 to 1568), which they lent mostly to landowners for the usual interest of 4%.

Lorenz Schütter was initially a fief and became owner of the dominions Aich , Klingenberg with numerous subjects in St. Thomas and Königswiesen as well as the market Münzbach , and Windhaag including Saxenegg including the district court Windhaag in the Altenburger , Rechberger and Pergkirchener parishes as well in the 1590s Pragstein Castle . He also acquired the Thalberg estate in Styria through seizure , which his widow sold again a few years later. Until 1611, his family's sphere of activity also included the township of Eggenburg in the Waldviertel , and the Schütters were also pledges of the Kreuzenstein estate until 1606 . Georg Schütter had the Sankt Barbara Hospital built in Münzbach in 1620 .

family

He was married first to Anna Kirchhamer, with whom he had two sons, Georg and Lorenz, and two daughters, Martha and Anna, then to Barbara Prunner, who gave birth to their daughter Barbara. Lorenz Schütter had a total of six sons and eight daughters, some of whom soon died. In 1610 Georg and Lorenz were able to take over their inheritance after their father, who died in 1599, and were enfeoffed with the lords of Klingenberg and Windhaag. In the course of the Counter Reformation in 1627, the bailiwick and presentation rights of the parishes of Altenburg , Münzbach and Pergkirchen were withdrawn and transferred to the Baumgartenberg monastery . In 1630 they sold the rule of Klingenberg including the Münzbach market to the Waldhausen monastery and in 1636 the rule of Windhaag largely to Joachim Enzmilner.

One of his direct descendants was Philipp Reinhard von Klingenberg (1720–1762), Bavarian Chamberlain and first commander of the Bavarian Cadet Corps .
