history
The Reisachburg was the ancestral seat of the lower noble family of the Reisachers and probably consisted of a permanent house without a keep . It is unclear to which rule the Reisachers belonged as one- step knights with the Reisachburg, but it was probably the Krems rule that made them servants of the Lords of Krems-Leonrod. In the year the first two lords of the castle, Hermann and Konrad von Reisach, are mentioned in a document. In the 13th century, the Reisachers were named as servants of the Counts of Montfort , who were then owned by the Krems rulership. At the same time, however, they were probably also subordinate to the Lords of Wildon . At the beginning of the 14th century, various members of the Reisach family were often mentioned as witnesses in court documents. A dominus Hermann von Reisach is documented for the period between 1305 and 1341 , whose son of the same name presumably had his residence in the Reisachburg.
Since the Reisachers could not live on the rather modest income of their small residence, they also entered the service of other noble families. Ulrich Reisacher, for example, served as burgrave of the Lords of Wildon in 1359. On July 29, 1363, Hermann von Reisach von Rudel dem Puch and his wife Kathrei acquired goods in Eastern Styria in order to expand the family's possessions. At the beginning of the 15th century the Reisachers acquired goods and possessions in the Mürz Valley and almost completely left the area around Voitsberg and their headquarters. It is not known when the defense structure was demolished.
In 1591 the area around Reisach is as episcopal wine zehentgut the pin Seckau mentioned. In 1527, with Blasy, Michael and Hans in Reisach, three farmers belonging to Christof von Windisch-Graetz are named, to whom the goods of the former Reisach farm were probably divided. In the years 1640 and 1693, a validity is mentioned in Reisach, which means that the name of the former fortification has been preserved until the 17th century. Today the name is lost.
