from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pütrich family (other spellings Püttrich , Püterich , Pütreich or Bittrich ) belonged to the Munich patrician families , of which a branch was raised to the nobility in 1347 as Pütrich von Reichertshausen .

history

First documentary mention

The first documentary mention of the family, who came from the Rhineland (according to another source: from Regensburg) and then worked in Munich for centuries, comes from around 1189. The name "Pütrich" could be derived from the name Pütsche for an old measure of salt - one their coat of arms shows two wine or salt barrels.

Aftermath in Munich

Already in 1284 was the family in Graggenauer quarter in Munich's old town with the " Pütrich Regelhaus " a convent of Terziarinnen the Franciscan Reformati as Seelhaus founded. The Inner Sendlinger Tor , first mentioned in a document in 1289, was called, among other things, the Pütrichturm after the gate tower had been incorporated into the town house of the Pütrich family in 1319. The Angerviertel was referred to in 1420/21 as "the Hans Pütrich's quarter", of which he was captain .

The Pütrich counted among the wealthy Munich patricians like Ligsalz , Barth or Dichtl , who were raised to the landed gentry in the 14th and 15th centuries . From the 13th to the 15th century the family provided several city councilors, city treasurers and mayors of the city of Munich . In 1451 Pope Nicholas V called the Pütrichs "noble men" ( nobiles viros de Puttreich ) in a bull .

Country nobles and a prince provost

In 1334 Ludwig Pütrich bought Reichertshausen Castle and the associated possessions. In 1347 he received the closed court rights of Reichertshausen from Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian and was raised to the nobility as "Pütrich von Reichertshausen" .

But not all of the Pütrichs were "noble men". Jakob Pütrich von Reichertshausen, presumably Ludwig's son or grandson, is reported that in 1370 he ambushed young men armed at the tower at Gögginger Tor in Augsburg , but they fought him off, so that he was arrested in "iron and gangs" in the town hall. Thereupon his relatives bribed the guards with 300 guilders and he was soon released. 1375 he then took on the "hated him City" revenge by "felling" two citizens of Augsburg hands and feet - which he in the imperial city of outlaws was declared. Unimpressed by this, Jakob broke into the Augsburg suburb a little later and stabbed four men. A little later, Jakob had his son in Augsburg accused Captain Hartmann Onsorg von Wellenburg of paying him a debt of 400 guilders, which was documented with "Sigel und Brief". But Onsorg as "a mischievous head knows a lot of objections and confuses the trade" and successfully defended the lawsuit on the grounds that he had already paid his debt in Mainz. Despite the Augsburg court ruling, Jakob still insisted on redeeming the debt, whereupon Onsorg in turn filed a lawsuit against Jakob at the district court of Ulrich Graf von Oettingen in Swabia. Jakob, who was in the service of the Bavarian Duke Johann , did not appear before the court, which then issued a Kontumaz decision - which in turn called the Duke Johann on the scene. "They invaded the Wellenburg Castle , destroyed, looted, and caused great damage to Captain Onsorg."

Another of Ludwig's descendants was the poet, book collector and ducal Bavarian councilor Jakob III. Pütrich von Reichertshausen (1400–1469), who is of importance for German literary history with his only surviving literary work, the 1462 letter of honor to Mechthild von der Pfalz , who is interested in literature and rhymed in Titurel verses . The last notifications of this noble family attest to the gradual sale of Hofmark Reichertshausen to Hans von Pfeffenhausen by Gamareth Pütrich von Reichertshausen and his brother Jakob between 1497 and 1502.

Jakob Pütrich (1523–1594), who came from the non-aristocratic branch of the family ("probably of the knightly line"), experienced the greatest rise , who as Jakob II was appointed prince provost of Berchtesgaden from 1567 to 1594 and thus as imperial prince of the Holy Roman Empire exercised both his spiritual and secular power over a territory , which he presided over as sovereign .

The noble family of the Pütrich von Reichertshausen died at the beginning of the 16th century, the non-noble branch of the Pütrich family died out in the male line at the end of the 17th century.
