Care court Windisch-Matrei
The Windisch-Matrei nursing court was a nursing court of the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg .
history
Matrei Castle was owned by the Counts of Lechsgemünd . Count Heinrich, the last representative of the family, sold his possessions in what is now East Tyrol in 1207 to the Archbishop of Salzburg. The claim to ownership in Salzburg was controversial, but was confirmed in the Peace of Lieserhofen in 1252. As part of the territorialization , the associated land ownership became the Windisch-Matrei nursing court. The castle became the seat of judges and carers from Salzburg . The nursing court was a Salzburg exclave and completely surrounded by foreign territory ( Fürstete Grafschaft Tirol ). This led to conflicts over sovereignty , in which Salzburg prevailed. In addition to the prince-archbishopric, the cathedral chapter was also the owner of the nursing court. In 1675 the bishop acquired the shares in the chapter and the office was completely sovereign. In the 18th century, nurses and judges moved their official residence to Matrei.

The office of carer was often in the hands of members of the Lasser family . In 1598 Wolf Adam Lasser was Mautner, Ungelder, court clerk and bailiff of the cathedral chapter and was appointed curator in 1617. Another wolf Adam Lasser (possibly the son of the aforementioned) was from 1660 care administrator and later carer. At the same time, Sigmund Stampfer is also mentioned as clerk and nurse. His successor as carer was Wolf Adam Lasser († 1733) in 1694, a son of the last one of the same name. Wolf Adam Lasser was raised to the nobility as Lasser von Zollheim in 1708 together with his brother Johann Adam Lasser († 1734), who administered the Carinthian property of the archdiocese as vice cathedral administrator in Friesach and caretaker in Althofen. In 1720 he renounced the nursing office in favor of his son Wolfgang Adam Lasser von Zollheim (1688–1768). On July 20, 1721, the nursing office was confirmed as an inheritance. This was very unusual: Salzburg generally did not award any nursing posts as hereditary posts. The only exception was the Neumarkt nursing court ; there the inheritance claim had already been triggered again. The reason was that Lasser von Zollheim undertook to renovate the castle at his own expense and to purchase an office building in the city. He died in 1768 and his son Wolfgang Adam Ignatz (1748–1804) inherited the office. In 1802 he suffered a stroke and the clerk was assigned to him as a caretaker.
