Sonderndorfer
The Sonderndorfer (also Sunderndorfer ) were an Austrian noble family who originally belonged to the Bavarian nobility .
history
The Lords of Sonderndorf originally come from Bavaria and appear in a document as early as 1102 with Oswald Sonderndorfer “the rich”.
“Sunderndorf” roughly means “southern village” and in the southern part of Anzing they probably had their headquarters until 1621. Accordingly, the district is still sometimes referred to as "Unterdorf".
On May 31, 1586, the brothers Paris, Hannibal and Hektor von Sonderndorf zu Kirchberg am Walde bought Illmau Castle in Waldviertel from Pilgrim VIII, Lord von Puchheim .
Illmau remained joint property of the three brothers until 1590, after which Hekor von Sonderndorf († 1616) was the sole owner of Illmau, Naglitz and Weissenbach. He was an active Protestant and on October 3rd, 1608 one of the signatories of the Horner Bund , to which the Protestant estates in Austria united to defend their rights against Archduke Matthias of Austria. He was raised to the baron status in 1612 and acquired in 1613 from the indebted Mr. zu Litschau, Andreas Morakschy, the Ungeld and the district court over the villages of Illmau, Engelbrechts, Kautzen, Weißenbach Gastern and Ruders, whereby the high jurisdiction over the named places to the rule Illmau got there.
The Thirty Years' War has already led 1,619 marauding incursions Bohemian rebels under the command of Count Heinrich Matthias von Thurn and Joachim Andreas von Schlick in the forest area, which, however, spared Illmau, as the Baron of coupon village Protestants. From 1619 to 1621 imperial troops from Hungary and the Netherlands camped in the area, who lived worse than the Bohemians because the local nobility were Protestant and therefore allied with the Bohemians. Illmau Castle and the neighboring Taxen Castle were therefore looted by imperial troops in 1619.
Around 1633, Hector's nephew, Johann Friedrich Freiherr von Sonderndorf (1603–1667), Herr auf Illmau, Atzelsdorf , Harras and Mittergrabern , who later owned the Starhemberg Palace on Minoritenplatz (now the Ministry of Education) in Vienna , sold the Illmau reign to Jonas von Heissberg.
