history

Juditha de Tovkirchen may have been the first representative of the family around the middle of the 12th century. Or the line comes from the followers of the Tegernsee Monastery . Around the time of the first Taufkirch family, the Sedelhof was used to supply the Taufkirch family. The line from the knight Hilprant , after whom a street and a building in Taufkirchen are named, is clearly proven . He was born around 1310, married in 1330 and died in 1381. There is no documentary evidence that Hilprant or his successors were knighted. But the tombstone in the village church shows him in knight armor. Hilprant's bride was Mechthild von und zu Weichs from an old noble family from Weichs in the Dachau region . "Hylprant Taefchircher" appeared as a legal assessor in court hearings, as well as a sealer in official deeds, using his own lion seal .

The Taufkirch family managed to achieve a high reputation in the Munich area. Hilprant's son Gebhard was abbot of the Tegernsee monastery. The Ebersberg monastery is also said to have been run by a Taufkircher around 1343. Hilprant's second son, Conrad, was a judge in Munich . It was he who had the elaborate tombstone erected for his father in knight armor. Around 1430 the Taufkircher were a member of the professional representation of the "landscape".

A later descendant of Hilprant, Georg II Taufkircher (1509–1580), was raised as a noble boy at the Munich court and became an outstanding personality. As a court squire, the ducal horses and stables were later under his control. In this function he went to war for Emperor Karl V as part of a contingent of the Bavarian military district (military district) and is mentioned in 1528 during the siege of Vienna by the Turks . It is said that he was involved in the "Anno 1528 of the Turkish siege of Khaiser Selim in front of the main city of Vienna in Austria". In 1530 he is mentioned during the campaign near Nice in France. He then became Hofrat (member of the supreme judiciary) Hofkammerrat (financial authority) and finally a clergyman . As such, he worked with the duke in setting up this “authority for all counter-Reformation measures”. The people of Taufkirchen lived in a central castle yard, a wooden mansion with an orchard immediately northeast of the church. The seat is referred to by Philipp Apian in 1585 as "arx" (castle or palace). The Taufkircher castle is also mentioned in the historical and heraldic index of Bavarian tournaments and heroes from 1762.

In Taufkirchen the rule of the Taufkircher came to an end in 1544. Georg handed over his property in Taufkirchen to Duke Wilhelm IV in 1544 . In return, the Duke upgraded the judicial district to Hofmark and gave Georg the much larger Hofmark Höhenrain . The wealthy Georg II von Taufkirchen and Duke Albrecht V agreed in 1577 on the repurchase of the Hofmark by the people of Taufkirchen. The purchase contract remained unfulfilled due to the imminent death of both.
