Mohingara (noble clan)

The Mohingara (also called Mochinger ) are a Bavarian genealogia (= clan) in Bavaria in the 8th and 9th centuries. They are not like the Huosi , Trozza , Fagana , Hahiligga and Anniona the preferred genealogiae the Lex Baiuvariorum , but besides the Feringa and the Roman clan of Albina in her time as expressly genealogia referred.

The name Mohingara is related to the place Moching. Whether this can be traced back to a top ancestor named Mocho has to remain open in the absence of documentary evidence. An assignment or a proximity to the Faganas was suspected on the basis of the names and the possessions, but cannot be proven with certainty.

At the beginning of the 9th century the viri qui vocabtur Mohingara appear in a Freising tradition , when they renounce their claims to the St. Martin's Church in Biberbach . Presumably the Mohingara wanted to establish an early aristocratic rule or a nobility pagus around Ampermoching and Feldmoching (then Feldmohinga ), in which they also wanted to include the church mentioned. The priest Rihpert , who was enfeoffed with the church as a benefice by the Freising Bishop Atto after a trial , is to be assigned to this clan. The name of the place Reipertshofen (today part of Hebertshausen ) is derived from this Rihpert . At the same time (808/808) Rihpert testifies to a donation to the priest Ratolt zu Feldmoching. Heriperht and Heimperht are named as witnesses to the agreement with the bishop . The name of the place Hebertshausen goes back to the Heriperht .

The Freising Bishop Erembert is attributed to the Mohingara . He is said to have owned the Martinskirche in Biberbach in antiquo tempore . From the note it is not clear whether he had this church by virtue of his office as bishop or as a separate church of his clan. Only under his successor as bishop, Joseph von Verona , were three churches around Biberbach amalgamated and converted into an oratorium publicum and only from then on did they come under the diocese. Erembert , also written Erchanpert , is also assigned to this clan due to the name “-perht” typical of the Mohingara . The place Milbertshofen (previously written Muniperhteshofun ) should also be mentioned; Here the brothers Oato and Immo donated with their descendants for the Biberbach church. Presumably the landlords of Wolfertshausen (formerly Uuolperhtsgusir, today a district of the city of Mainburg ) with their descendants Wolfperht , Amilo and Erchanperht belonged to this clan. The first tradition on Wolfertshausen also took place in Machinga (this means either Amper- or Feldmoching).
