Padberg feud

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Padberg feud from 1413 to 1418 was the climax of the long border disputes and repeated attacks by the Lords of Padberg on the territory of the County of Waldeck and especially the city of Korbach . With this feud , referred to in Padberg as the " Korbach Feud ", the disputes came to a temporary end.

prehistory

In 1410 the Lords of Padberg carried the Ober-Ense Castle near Korbach , which they had acquired around 1350, to Archbishop Friedrich III. from Cologne to fiefdom. Count Heinrich VII von Waldeck, however, did not tolerate a seat of the Cologne residents on his territory, so this led to a feud that ended in defeat for the Lords of Padberg. They had to submit to Count von Waldeck, who, like the Archbishop of Cologne, subsequently came into partial possession of Padberg.

Despite the submission, there were repeated encroachments in the area of ​​the Waldecker by the gradually impoverished Padbergers, who thus acquired a reputation as robber barons. After another major cattle theft in the Korbach area, the Padbergs suffered a defeat with serious consequences on June 20, 1413 in the so-called “Padberg feud”.

Expires on June 20, 1413

After the Korbacher found out about the new attack, they armed themselves with hand rifles , crossbows , swords, clubs , poles and the like and hid in the so-called "Rainsgraben" near Flechtdorf (now part of the Diemelsee community ). Their leaders were Hildebrand Gogrebe and Conrad von Geismar. It was probably a relatively small group: 24 riders and "foot troops" reported, although their total strength is not mentioned. The Padbergs are said to have outnumbered them by far, with 760 armed men from the "Stift Münster" and the "Lande von der Marck", led by Friedrich from the old Padberg House. They had hidden on the other side of the Rainsgraben with the intention of taking the Korbach people by surprise. The number of armed men, their origins and their social position clearly show the involvement of the Cologne archbishops.

After the Padberg overwhelming power had to gradually retreat in battle, the Korbachers came to the aid of the sun. The Korbach armed forces surrounded around 200 knights and took around 100 prisoners to the Korbach prison. Among the prisoners were Friedrich von Padberg and two more "von Padberg": Gottschalk, Friedrich's brother, and Gottschalk von Padberg from the New House. The fight lasted all day and cost many wounded on both sides. According to the town chronicle, only one Korbacher was killed in the fight. On the side of the Padberger fell Johann III. vom Alten Haus, and Godeke Droste (= Godeke von Droste)

The Korbach city book names the following prisoners:

  • Johann Sobben
  • Wetzell von Lembecke (Wessel von Lembeck)
  • Johann von Summern (probably Johann von Sümmern, urk. 1400–1430, Menden)
  • Herman Twitte (probably Hermann Twiste)
  • Ovirhagen Klatkule (probably a member of the Overhagen family, Münster or Schorlemmer zu Overhagen, Lippstadt)
  • Frederich von Patbergk
  • Godeschalkk from Patbergk

Regin day

June 20th was dedicated to Saint Regina at this time and was therefore referred to as "Regin Day". In the following years, Regin Day was celebrated annually in Korbach to commemorate this victory. This custom was lost during the Reformation , but is still practiced today. The group Sankt Regina of the Schützengilde 1377 Korbach has set itself the task of cultivating this custom.

Korbach town chronicle from 1623

The Corbach town clerk Philipp Knipschild reports in the chronicle of 1623: (Excerpt from the original text)

"... After a few days, namely on Reginen Day, June 20th of the 1413th year, Mr. Friederich von Pattberg , knight, is with a large number of seven hundred and sixty ambushed on horseback and on foot and flying Flags that fell again in the Corbachische Feldtmarck and took possession of a large steal of cattle ”.

In conclusion, the chronicler mentions : “Therefore, afterwards they touched S. Reginentag annually in a solemn manner, first of all, because it was impossible for those of Corbach to overthrow so many stern, armed, defenseless men, unless God Almighty did special help would have."

End and consequences

A year later, the Korbach people took revenge and burned the city of Padberg down. No house was left. In addition, the Padbergs had to cede large parts of their rule to the Counts of Waldeck in the same year. The place was then only rebuilt unfortified. For this, the Counts of Waldeck reaffirmed the Padberg citizens' rights to the city. In 1415 the old and the new castle had to be mortgaged to pay the high ransom and war costs. Gottschalk von Padberg moved into his apartment in the old house by the church, the Sparrenburg. In the same year Kurköln and the Waldecker signed a contract that gave both castles to Cologne. Gottschalk and Friedrich transferred their shares in the Padberg rule and their castles to the people of Cologne and left Padberg.

A year later there was a truce between Friedrich von Padberg from the old house and the Count of Waldeck and a family pact between the two Padberg houses.

The feud flared up again in 1418, when the Padbergs invaded Waldeck again. This time the Korbach people took 17 prisoners. Two of them were hanged by the Landwehr near Dingeringhausen as a deterrent . The prisoner Johann from the old house of Padberg was only released in 1421 for a ransom of 2000 gold guilders.
