history

The "Hof zu Jeeß" was first documented beyond doubt as belonging to the Rein monastery in 1571 and was later called "Mallerhof" after an owner family, similar to the nearby "Klauberhof". It became a noble farm and was in aristocratic ownership for centuries: in 1593 the Mallerhof came to the Breuner, from the Trauttmansdorff to the Globitzer in 1618, to the Hemeter in 1624 and of these to Gottfried Freiherrn von Eibiswald in 1633/40 . This imperial councilor , chamberlain and colonel hereditary falcon master in Styria, expanded the court into a noble palace and named it " Eybesfeld ". In 1635 a keep was connected to the castle , and in 1643 the Klauberhof and its subjects were acquired. The total of 55 subjects were almost all in the vicinity of the estate.

The "Mallerhoff, aniezo Eybesfeld named" was inherited in 1667 to the Countesses von Khißl, who sold it in 1697 to Carl Ferdinand von Puchbaum, who was also the owner of Freibühel on the southern slope of the Buchkogel . In the possession of the Counts of Wildstein since 1743, Eybesfeld Castle came to the bourgeois tenant of the Seggau rule Joseph Madl, later to the nobles von Heupauer (on Schwarzenegg) and in 1844 to Emilie von Peché.

Since 1853 according to other sources since 1851, when the lawyer Dr. Sigmund Conrad , Schloss Eybesfeld is in the uninterrupted possession of this family. The councilor, deputy of the Banus of Croatia , governor of Trieste and Venice , state president in Carniola and finally minister for culture and education was knighted in 1854 by Emperor Franz Joseph I with the predicate " von Eybesfeld ", and in 1870 he became a baron received the rank of a privy councilor and a seat in the manor house of the imperial council. Bertran Conrad-Eybesfeld , Sigmund's fourth generation descendant, runs the estate together with his family and positions it as a cultural and economic factor in the Leibnitzer Feld.

The historical ensemble from the 17th to 19th centuries, consisting of a castle, grain box, farm buildings and administrator's house, has recently been expanded with new residential complexes based on plans by the architect Manfred Wolff-Plottegg .

Schloss Eybesfeld was the headquarters of the microelectronics company SensorDynamics AG from 2003 to 2011 , which was bought by the US semiconductor company Maxim Integrated in 2011 . Today several buildings of the historical ensemble house a semiconductor development center of the group.
