history

The Paumgarten, who later rose to the rank of imperial count, owned the palaces and lordships of Ering and Frauenstein until the beginning of the 19th century and were even allowed to exercise blood jurisdiction in their territory . For centuries they were the owners of the Ering lordship, a closed Hofmark with an extensive manor . The Counts of Paumgarten were also important as owners of the Ering Patrimonial Court until the middle of the 19th century .

The Wittelsbach nursing court Ering with Frauenstein and Hofmark Mining was sold in 1508 by Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria to the Paumgartner brothers for their services in the Landshut War of Succession on the Monday after St. Dorotheen-Tag for 13,500 guilders (except for the sovereign authorities and the tribunal ). In addition to Ering Castle, the rulership included Frauenstein Castle, the Erneck rulership including the castle stables (which was in ruins), farm buildings, taverns, forges, baths, mills, the villages of Mining, Ering, Graben, Malching , Münchham , Kühstein, Griesser and others. a. Marital bonds . A list of all possessions, income and rights is recorded in the land register of Ering Castle.

In Frauenstein, the Paumgartner had the castle, which was in ruins, partly rebuilt from 1508 to 1519. In 1523, after the Ering nursing court, the Paumgarten also acquired the lordship of Ering. They acquired, as the deed of purchase says, " the brick seat, located by the parish church on the cemetery wall ". The former rulers were the Rosenstingl and the Ritter Gogkendorfer. The Gogkendorfer had died out in the male line , and the only daughter sold the inheritance because she was ailing herself. In 1602, after the Lords of Ering died out, the holdings of Ering and Frauenstein were combined. Since most of the Paumgarten lived in Ering on the Bavarian side, Frauenstein Castle fell into disrepair. In 1807 the owners had part of the castle demolished (including the castle chapel) and built a mansion next to the granary, which is now the castle tavern.

During the Bavarian uprising from December 21, 1705 to January 16, 1706, Franz von Paumgarten was the host of the so-called " Braunau Parliament ".

The Eringer Castle still exists today. The first Erneck castle on a hill, however, was destroyed in the Landshut War of Succession in 1504 and no longer rebuilt. On the foundations of an old residence in the Hofmark , the Paumgartner gradually built the extensive and representative Ering Palace complex in several stages from 1523. This was redesigned again by Johann Joseph Franz Albrecht Thaddäus Graf von Paumgarten and completed in 1772. The facility is privately owned and cannot be visited. The current owner is Paul Daniel Count Esterházy von Galantha . The burial place of Esterházy and other castle owners from Ering since the 19th century is located at the pilgrimage church of St. Anna in Ering, where the coat of arms of the Counts of Paumgarten can be seen on some gravestones. As part of the Bavarian - Upper Austrian provincial exhibition in 2004, an exhibition on the family history of the Counts of Paumgarten was shown in Asbach Abbey .

coat of arms

  • The family coat of arms of the Paumgarten shows in blue a golden lion and a golden wattle fence, as can be seen in the coat of arms of the municipality of Mining. This symbolism from the family coat of arms was later also adopted in the municipal coat of arms of Ering, the blazon reads: In blue over a golden corrugated shield base, a golden lion growing from a braided golden fence. The base of the wave shield, a river symbol, represents the location of the municipality on the Inn. The coat of arms of the municipality of Malching also refers to the Paumgarten in a modified form.
  • The increased coat of arms from 1745 shows in the squared shield: 1. In blue a left-facing golden lion growing up behind a golden garden fence in the base of the shield, whose tail is covered with four tufts of hair standing one behind the other (family coat of arms). 2. Divided across by red, silver and gold. 3. Crossed by silver and blue (Taufer von Sinching). 4. In red an unbridled horse that rears up against the right side (probably Frauenberg). Four crowned helmets rise above the count's crown. The right helmet bears the growing lion of the 1st field (helmet of the family coat of arms); the second a tall pagan silver hat, which is turned up in blue and covered with a crown, on which three silver ostrich feathers stand (Taufer von Sinchingscher Helm). On the third helmet rise two buffalo horns, the right one from red, silver and gold, the left one from gold, silver and red (helmet belonging to field 2), and on the left helmet belonging to field 4, stands the rearing horse of the 4th field. The helmet covers are blue and gold on the right, red and silver on the left, and the shield is held by two inward-looking golden griffins, each of which holds a golden standard in its fore-claws, on whose blue, golden-fringed flags an inward-facing, crowned, double-curved lion shows up.

After more recent seals have been printed, the lion does not grow up behind the fence in the first field, but walks inward on it.
