history
Michael Fresner is named as the first owner of the Hofstatt am Egg am Platz in 1452. On Kaufweg, the building then went to Oswald Gressing in 1480. In 1502 he was succeeded by his son Leonhard. His son Christoph received the property in 1545 and gave the building its current appearance. At the same time he acquires for the house a tavern meet same . In 1580 Leonhard Gressing der Jung took over the property. He was succeeded in 1620 as the last of this family by Abraham Gressing, who in 1636 exchanged the house for Balthasar Brunner's inn on the Mur Bridge . The house will stay with the Prunners for two more generations. In 1663 it came to Lorenz Prunner, who in 1666 sold it to Michael Gögginger, Jocherscher administrator of the Rottenfels and Oberwölz rule . His daughter Johanna, married Arnetspichler, took over the house in 1667, but leased it to the landlord Paul Gell. In 1719 Johanna Arnetspichler sold the inn with the attached fruit and salt trade to Adam Gambs, son of Zechner zu Lessach . As early as 1723 the property came to the Glanner family through Gantkauf (= emergency sale). Then the corner house on the square comes back to the master baker Georg Koller through Gantkauf. He has the inn-appropriate transfer to his home and sells the residence to the Tamsweg parish church.
In 1775 it was acquired by the painter and princely geometer Gregor Lederwasch IV , previous sacristan of St. Leonhard ob Tamsweg . Presumably this Gregor put the paintings on the house. His son Franz followed him in 1792. In 1796 the building was bought by the farmer Jakob Lintschinger, whose daughter Maria, married to the landlord Peter Egger, took over the property in 1809. The house was sold by their heirs in 1832 to the innkeeper Nikolaus Ernst, who had his hospitality business transferred from the fleet inn to his new property and which he now called the Golden Crown . In 1846 the building was bought by the watchmaker Rupert Bock.
The market town of Tamsweg acquired the house from him in 1897 and converted it into a town hall. In 1943, the attic was expanded while preserving the historical status. In 2011 the house was renovated again by the market town of Tamsweg.
Tamsweg town hall building today
With its two corner cores, the house has typical castle or residence-like features, although it has been in bourgeois hands from the beginning. There are massive arches inside the building . In the vestibules of the two upper floors there are carved, late Gothic beam ceilings. Some of the door and window frames are made of stone, and there are also wrought-iron window bars. Two frescoes were uncovered on the house in 1958 : a representation of a Maria with the child, surrounded by a sundial at the bottom, and one ( Maria Immaculata ). Both are attributed to Gregor Lederwasch .
