Live and act

Master Mathias Edlinger married Cunigunde N. in Wiener Neustadt , there was a main shop of the stonemasonry and bricklaying trade , anno 1615, for Kirchschlag , Schottwien , Neunkirchen , Aichbüchel, Piesting , Leobersdorf , Pottenstein , Ebenfurth , Baden , Gumpoldskirchen , Mödling , Petersdorf , Rodaun , for the imperial quarry on Leithaberg , for German and Hungarian Prodersdorf, Purbach , Milichdorf, Eisenstadt and Ödenburg . Whereby Baden and Kaisersteinbruch were already in 1617 (beginning of the master book) guild shops of the craft, so called quarter shop . In 1640 they came to Kaisersteinbruch and bought the house and garden from master tailor Daniel Prandner.

From the fact that he did not lease or could not lease a quarry, it follows logically that Edlinger worked on the construction of the Kaisersteinbruch Church . There are only sparse documents on this - and this is astonishing in the otherwise largely complete monastery archive.

Both died of the plague in 1645 , ... Mathiaß Edlinger sel. Died in 1645, together with his landlady, of the painful plague, from which God Almighty would protect us . An inventory was scheduled on May 24, 1646, the year after her death . In the presence of the rulers and the judge Andre Ruffini , the master Hieronymus Bregno and Thomas Ruffini, sworn as court , credit and debts were settled. The house with garden, which stonemason Ulrich Stampf sells after his death, which had previously been deserted , resulted in 80 guilders. The available cattle, cash, etc. were left to Thomas Ruffini, as godfather , to bring up the son Thomas who was left behind.

In the years around 1644 and afterwards, the plague, or as it was called, the infection , was rampant in Kaisersteinbruch and the surrounding area . This shows a small selection of wayside crosses in the area, the tabernacle pillar in Oggau 1644, the plague cross in Kaisersteinbruch by Paul Cleritz in 1646, the plague cross in Winden am See in 1646, a cemetery cross in Sankt Margarethen in Burgenland in 1646, the plague cross in Breitenbrunn in 1646, the Trinity column Purbach 1647. Many of them are from the Kaisersteinbrucher stone , but cannot be directly assigned to any master.
