Seizerhof

The Seizerhof , also known as the Hof am Georgifriedhof , was a noble farm located on Grazer Annenstrasse. Its history dates back to the 16th century. The Edelhof was demolished after 1783.

history

The property on which the farm was located was owned by Wolf Staiger in the 16th century. On the ground there were a few dilapidated buildings, which probably came from an abandoned estate. In 1580 Staiger sold the property to the Styrian stalls. The estates wanted to build a Protestant school on the property, later a Protestant cemetery and a hospital for poor Protestants. Archduke Ferdinand forbade the implementation of the plan in 1598. In 1616 parts of the property were sold to Catharina Madlberger, who was also allowed to rebuild the dilapidated buildings. The larger part of the property was used to build the Georgifriedhof , on which today's Graz Orpheum is located. In 1652 the Madlberg estate and the rebuilt buildings were sold to Tobias Schönwetter. His widow and daughter followed him as owners. In 1655 the estate went to Wolf Andree von Kaltenhausen, whose widow Maria Susanna bequeathed it to her daughter Anna Beatrix von Gallenstein in 1680. This left it to the St. Lambrecht Abbey in 1709 . The guardian of the Mauerburgischen heirs exchanged the property at the monastery for another and sold it in 1733 to the sculptor Johann Jacob Schoy . His widow brought the court with her into her marriage to her second husband, Philipp Jakob Straub . He sold it to the Carthusian monastery in Seiz in 1770 . After the monastery was dissolved in 1782, the property went to the state and was sold to the citizens of Graz in 1783. The manor's buildings were demolished after 1783.
