Mautner (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry III. , Bishop of Seckau probably came from the Mautner family.

The Mautner also Herren aus dem Holz or Herren im Holz were a wealthy noble family from Burghausen in the 14th century , who were responsible for controlling the salt trade on the Salzach . They are not related to the Austrian Mautner von Markhof .

history

A Friedrich made of wood was enfeoffed around 1180 with the Burghauser toll on the salt trade across the Salzach. The family seat was near Kößlarn . Later the family called themselves Mautner (the name was derived from their function ). The Mautner amassed legendary wealth through their office and the granting of loans. So they were called, among other things, the Fugger von Burghausen . Friedrich der Mautner († 1300) was buried in Raitenhaslach , so he probably already lived in Burghausen. His son Friedrich is considered the most important representative of the sex. He held various honorary positions and supported his dukes with money and weapons. In return, they granted him various privileges. Friedrich is also considered to be the founder of the Heilig-Geist-Spital at the gates of the city. The descendants of the Mautner had residences in Hohenaschau , Vilsheim and Katzenberg ( Kirchdorf am Inn ). The Katzenberger line existed the longest, which is why the name Mautner von Katzenberg became established . The Mautner's original wealth melted away within a few generations. The family died in 1525 with Hans Mautner von Katzenberg. In Burghausen there is still the Mautnerschloss and Mautnerstrasse today . However, the Mautner's residence in Burghausen was not the Mautner Castle, but today's town hall on the town square. Some members of the sex, such as Oswald Mautner von Katzenberg († 1446), are buried in the Mautner tomb mentioned in 1332 in the Heilig-Geist-Kirche of the Heilig-Geist-Spital.

The Mautner's numerous debtors included important people from all over Germany, including Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian and Archbishop Friedrich III .
