Gender history

The one from Schönhering

Members of the de Sconheringen family have been tested since 1080. Only those whose existence has been documented are listed; the list does not offer completeness (in medieval documents there was still no uniform handling of designations, such as whether from or (lat.) de , and the orthography of names).

  • Bernhard von Sconhering (1080), also Bernhardus de Shonheringen, or Pernhart I., possibly that Pernhart iuxta Mouhelle , who gave Kleinzell (the predium Celle ) to St. Florian with the noble Eppo von Windberg in 1108 . Whose sons were
  • Pernhart II., Udalrich I., and
  • Engelbert I. von Schönhering (around 1130), like the oldest book of the dead with "Engilbreht de Sonheringen oc." ( meaning occisus ) noted, he did not die of natural causes, but was slain.
  • Egelolf of Schonheringen (1140)
  • Seifried von Schönering (around 1170)
  • Engilbertus de Sconheringen (around 1170), probably Engelbert II. Von Schönhering, or von Schönhering-Blankenberg
  • Chunegunde and Eberhard de Schönheringen (1262)
  • Bernhard von Schönhering is the last lord of the family, he took part as an assessor in a court meeting under the linden tree in Aldersbach in 1268 .

Blankenberg's

Since around 1150, the Schönheringers have founded a new home in Blankenberg , the noble seat of this line of origin.

  • Engelbert II. Von Schönhering-Blankenberg († around 1187, 1190 or 1192 near St. Georgen in Austria ), he is the (probably new) lord of the fortress of Blankenberg from 1155 to 1182 and thus the first to call himself from there lived around 1177, however, at St. Ulrich Castle , owned by the Schallenberg family . He was married twice, first since 1168 to Sophia von Aist , the sister of the famous minstrel Dietmar von Aist . Dietmar (not the previous one) came from the first marriage and Udalrich from the second. His second wife was Kunigunde von Blankenberg, she donated the Aigelsberg Castle near Niederwaldkirchen to the St. Nikola Monastery around 1175 , which she received back as a treasure around 1190, widowed .
  • Siboto I of Blankenberg (1180)
  • Ullo von Blankenberg (1206)
  • Witiko von Prčice and Blankenberg probably married Kunigunde, the widow of Engelbert II, around 1191. Between 1192 and 1194 he came to Blankenberg Castle and part of the Blankenberg fiefdoms that were in Passau's possession and were confirmed to him by Bishop Wolfger von Erla . This area extended along the left bank of the Große Mühl to the Danube. In the other Blankenberg areas, Witiko could not prevail. For the years 1209 and 1220, in addition to its predicate “von Prčice”, the predicate “de Plankinberg” is also used. Witiko, who is considered to be the founder of the Rosenbergs branch of Witigon , presumably initially resided at Blankenberg Castle, where his son presumably resided
  • Zacharias von Prčice and Blankenberg followed.
  • Veit of Blankenberg (1298)

Relationship to the Witigonen

The now scientifically obsolete claim that the important, old Bohemian Witigonen descended from the Schönhering-Blankenberg family, is rejected by both German and Czech historians, as there is no clear evidence for this to date. The claim was made in 1874 by Matthias Pangerl in his essay Die Witigonen without clear evidence.

The ancestor of the Witigonen Witiko von Prčice is proven in Bohemia as a cupbearer at the court of Duke Vladislav II as early as 1165 . It was not until the marriage of the two sexes that historical connections were established between the neighboring territories. Witikos son of the same name Witiko von Prčice and Blankenberg married Kunigunde, the widow of Engelbert II. Von Schönhering- Blankenberg , probably around 1191 and thus came to Blankenberg Castle in the Mühlviertel , from which his nickname is derived. The year 1191 thus represents the earliest evidence of Witigonian lordship in German areas.

Legal successor to the rule

The Vischgrätl from Schönhering

Towards the end of the 13th century, the sources dry up as far as the von Schönhering-Blankenberg family is concerned. It was not until the 14th century that the Vischgrätl zu Schönhering line emerged, which, like the family of Bernhard von Schönhering, held the noble seat of Schönhering. It is unclear whether they are related to their predecessors.

  • Kaspar the Vischgrätl von Schönhering (attested in 1340, † 1363)
  • Peter the Vischgrätl von Schönhering (1381, donates an anniversary in the collegiate church in Vilshofen ), whose sons are
  • Peter and Kaspar die Vischgrätl von Schönhering (1415, sold a farm in Schwanham ).
