Radeck (noble family)
The lords of Radeck (or Rodegg ) are a branch line of the lords of Bergheim ( Perkham ), who were important ministers of the archbishops in the Salzburg monastery . The name Radeck means clearing and is due to the fact that this family was responsible for clearing in the area north of Salzburg.
History of the von Radeck family
Gerhoch II von Bergheim became the founder of the noble Radeck family. Because of his possessions he called himself alternately from Bergheim , from Salzburg or from Radeck . In 1247 he named himself Radeck for the first time in a document from the Salzburg electrician Philipp von Spanheim , so he must have built Radeck Castle by then . The castle he built was considered a fiefdom of the Archbishop of Salzburg, which meant that at the end of the family, the owner would revert the fief to the lord. He accompanied Archbishop Eberhard II on various official business, for example as an oath helper to King Philip of Swabia , when it came to the purchase of Windisch-Matrei or donations to the hospital of the Salzburg cathedral chapter . Due to his marriage to Bertha von Lonstorf , a close relationship arose with the diocese of Passau , whereby the younger brother of Gerhoch II, Rüdiger von Bergheim , was bishop of Passau. As a result, he and his son Gerhoch III. several times on documents of the Diocese of Passau.
Gerhoch III. von Radeck followed his father in various positions. He also appears as a witness in many Salzburg and Passau documents; In 1255 he was with Philipp von Spanheim in Vienna with King Přemysl Ottokar II of Bohemia , when the Raitenhaslach monastery received a duty exemption.
His eldest son Ulrich I von Radeck remained in the Salzburg service, while his younger brother Heinrich I emigrated to the diocese of Passau as a servant. Despite their high positions, both brothers got into economic difficulties and had to pledge Radeck Castle to Salzburg aristocrats, including the Lords of Kalham, who were related by marriage to them. Heinrich I finally sold half of his share of the castle with other goods to Archbishop Friedrich II , who was then to redeem the liens. Ulrich's share of the castle also went to the archbishop, but with the stipulation that they should come back to the Radecker if they would take over the costs. It was returned, but the debt was not redeemed until 1334.
Ulrich's son, Gerhoch IV, once again occupied a top position among the ministerials of the Archdiocese of Salzburg. He was involved in various important legal transactions, e.g. B. in the settlement of the conflict between Archbishop Konrad IV. And Duke Otto II. Of Bavaria , in the purchase of the Gastein Valley or in the peace negotiations with Duke Albrecht I of Austria in Vienna. His son, Gerhoch V., also held the important post of captain of Mühldorf am Inn . His sons Heinrich III. and Rüdiger von Radeck were in the course of the fighting between Archbishop Friedrich III. and Ludwig the Bavarian knighted in Mühldorf in 1319. In the course of the defeat in the Battle of Mühldorf (1322), which the Archbishop of Salzburg suffered on the side of Frederick the Fair , Rüdiger von Radeck was also captured and had to be redeemed with a large ransom to Ludwig the Bavarian. The archbishop had to borrow part of the ransom from the Salzburg aristocrats, including the Radeckers and the Kuchlers. These were made in return for the burgraves of Hohensalzburg and Rüdiger also became the archbishop's vice cathedral (until 1331). However, the Radeck's financial situation was not particularly good and therefore they had to sell various goods to the Kuchler and also the rights to Radeck Castle to the archbishop.
After the death of Rüdiger von Radeck, his brother Heinrich III. made burgrave of Radeck and thus administrator of the Radeck's ancestral seat. As a result, there was a further decline in the Radecker dynasty, which then died out in the next generation. The last of this family was Conrad III, who died in 1360. In 1355 Friedrich von Bergheim was enfeoffed with Radeck Castle while Konrad was still alive. An effect that went beyond the end of this family was the founding of the Radeck nursing court in the middle of the 14th century , to which the smaller courts (in which the Radeckers partly had jurisdiction) from Heuberg, Hallwang, Eugendorf and Bergheim and then the court brands Koppl and Ursprung were summarized. This created the administrative basis for an overarching case law (High Court). In 1508 it passed to Neuhaus .
