Schörgelhof
The Schörgelhof , formerly also called Gallerhof or Vossenburg , was a fortification and later Edelshof that stood on a small hill at the Schörgelgasse-Petersgasse intersection in Graz . Its history goes back to the 14th century. It was once used to monitor the roads coming from St. Peter and Waltendorf . A new building for the Graz University of Technology was erected on its site in 1955 .
history
In the 14th and 15th centuries, the court seems to have been owned by the Horneck family. On January 10, 1477 it is mentioned that the farm was donated to the hospital of the women in Graz . The exact time of the foundation can no longer be traced back. In 1477 it was leased to Philipp Breuner from the Austrian noble family von Breuner for an annual rate of interest , who shortly thereafter released it as his own . Breuner converted the defense structure into a noble seat and later sold it.
The seat as Gallerhof
The Galler (noble family) thus became new owners. In 1590, Willhelm Galler sold the appropriately named Gallerhof for 6,000 guilders and 100 ducats as a loan to Weilhelm Freiherr von Windischgrätz from the von Windisch-Graetz family . When the latter did not pay, the Galler took the farm back with an eviction action.
The seat as Vossenburg
In 1603 he was sold to Gissbert Vosso , the personal physician of Archduke Ferdinand II (HRR) . In 1607 Ferdinand Vosso donated a pond in the Münzgraben to the farm. In 1624 Vosso sold the Vossenburg .
The seat as Schörcklhof
The pharmacist's wife Catharina Schörckhlin , who gave the Schörcklhof her name, became the new owner . Georg Christof Schörckl inherited the farm on November 10, 1635 . His son had to cede the farm to Adam von Wundegg (noble family) in 1671 because of a loan that he could not repay. Around 1680 the farm was leased to Rudolf Freiherr von Rindsmaul (noble family) . In 1685 the lease was terminated and the farm was sold to Georg Adam Graf Lengheim (noble family) in 1686 . On August 7, 1743, a flood of the Grazbach tore away a large part of the grounds from Count Lengheim's subjects.
The headquarters as a military building and part of TU Graz
The military acquired the Schörcklhof on August 18, 1770. In 1944 the buildings of the courtyard were almost completely destroyed by bombing. In 1955, the construction of a new building for the Graz University of Technology began in his place.
