history

This noble seat appears from 1420 in the possession of the Puchbergers. Veith von Puchberg zum Niederschelnstain confessed in 1459 that he and his brother had inherited the seat that their father had held for 34 years; In front of the father Heinrich, the seat box is held by the widow of a saddle-bowman and also the widow of a Fraunhofer and a Schönstainer. The occasion was the attempt by the citizens of Hofkirchen to charge a tax for the seat box. Other Puchbergers here are Ludwig and Andre the Puchberger, of whom Ludwig lived at the seat. In 1521 his sons Hans and Andre followed him. However, a Hans Ortenburger is documented here as early as 1524. This is followed by a jack for iron, which is why the seat of the name Iron seat received. Further owners are Josias Pirchinger and his wife Ursula, who sold the seat to Philipp Weissenfelder in 1586. Anna Maria von Sandiszell, née Romungin von Seeholzen, inherited it from his sons. Together with her husband, Georg von Sandiszell, she sold the noble mansion in 1599 to Baroness Dorothea zu Pollweiler and in Weihental. The same family that owned the Hofkirchen market and Hilgartsberg Castle also came into possession of the seat. After this family died out, Elector Maximilian awarded the seat with the court brands Schöllnstein , Rannetsreit, Garham, Leithen and Oberngschaid to Hanns Ernest Graf Fugger , Lord of Kirchberg and Weißenhorn. Because of the pertinence belonging to the seat, there was a legal dispute, since in the opinion of the Supreme Lehenhof in Munich these should have been received as a fief. Baron von Fugger was able to reject this, however, as he could prove that he had also bought these properties from his father-in-law Georg von Sandiszell and that they were therefore allodial .

From 1661 the seat came to Count Hans Albrecht Preysing zu Moos . Full lower jurisdiction was confirmed to Preysinger . In 1801, the seat was bought by Count Max von Hegnenberg-Dux , who gave the seat back to the Preysings in 1893, as he had acquired the Sicklasberg seat in the district court of Mitterfeld (today the municipality of Konzell ). When the community was formed, the Hofmark was not combined with the Hofkirchen market, but became part of Hilgartsberg. It was not until the 1950s that the Hofkirchen headquarters were incorporated.

Building description

According to an entry in the land register from 1621, the "Grundaigen seat" is described as a three-story building right next to the Danube; on its north side was an outbuilding, which was separated from the seat by a wall and was called "Schenk- und Hochhaus" from ancient times. Both houses enclosed a square courtyard. A court building and a Söldenhäusel and other properties belonged to the seat. The seat was acquired by the market town of Hofkirchen and demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.
