Oswald von Graben zum Stein (Stain) (* in the 16th century ; † 1609 ) was a Carinthian nobleman and lord of Stein .

biography

Oswald von Graben came from the extensive family of the Lords of Graben from their line at Stein . His parents were Hans von Graben zum Stein († 1593) and his first wife Barbara Semlerin, his grandfather was Hans von Graben zum Stein († 1587/91), from whom he inherited goods in and around Lienz . The Graben residence in Hans von Graben Gasse should be mentioned here, as well as possessions in and around Toblach (South Tyrol) and the Günn residence in Schwaz (North Tyrol). From his uncle Georg von Graben zum Stein († 1595) he inherited the castle and lordship of Stein in place of his deceased father. However, since he was still under the age at the time of the inheritance, Adam von Staudach acted as guardian. On October 1, 1595, Oswald asked the Lower Austrian government to extend the award of Stein Castle for himself and his siblings.

In the rule of Lienz, Graben zum Stein probably fulfilled the functions of mountain judge and forest master (i.e. chief forester ) between 1592 and 1609 . In 1609, after the great fire in Lienz, he and three other experts were appointed to a commission to investigate the causes of this disaster.

Oswald von Graben zum Stein was married to Sabina von Denburg, who had a daughter, Anna Christina von Graben zum Stein, whom Georg von Staudach married. The lordship and castle Stein was passed on to his great cousin Hans Christof von Graben († 1628) from the second Tyrolean line of the family, who worked in Carinthia and Tyrol, due to a male descendant . This was a descendant of Barthlmä von Graben, a brother of Lukas von Graben zum Stein , who was Oswald's grandfather.
