Toerring (also Törring ) is the name of a former high noble family from Upper Bavaria , which was first mentioned by 1120/1130.

history

According to Bavarian family tables, the ancestors of the Törring family can be traced back to the 8th century, namely Albeck Töringer , also called Alwicus I , who lived around 753, was married to Hitta von der Alm , under Duke Tassilo (probably Tassilo III. ) had served as chief hunter in Bavaria and was buried with his wife in the Wessobrunn monastery (formerly: Wessenbrunn ), the earliest ancestor known by name.

The ancestral castle Törring of the Knights of Toerring was located near the Waginger See in the now Upper Bavarian and then Salzburg town of Törring (now part of Tittmoning ). In 1210 the archbishop of Salzburg gave the Toerringern permission to build a castle on this site. The Lords of Toerring had the right to use the Bavarian standard when the ruler of the rule was personally in the field. Although not of dynastic descent themselves, nobles and knights served them as vassals .

They had been sitting on Stein an der Traun since the 13th century, and in 1369 the Counts of Törring became the lords of Tüßling . In 1377/1379 they received market rights from the dukes of Bavaria . In 1583 Johann Veit von Törring completed the conversion of Tüßling Castle into a stately Tüßling Palace. Since 1382 the Törringers were also on Pertenstein . In 1421 their ancestral seat Törring was destroyed in disputes with Heinrich the Rich of Bavaria and the stones were used to expand the Burghausen castle . From 1408 to 1464 Neudeck Castle was owned by the Törringers. Seefeld Castle on the Pilsensee has been family owned since the middle of the 15th century . The family was divided into the branches Toerring- Stein , Toerring- Jettenbach and Toerring- Seefeld .

In 1566 the family acquired the imperial baron status , and the Toerring was awarded the title of count at the Regensburg Electoral Congress in 1630 .

The Stein line expired in 1744 with Count Johann Franz Adam II von Törring-Stein (* December 16, 1700 - † February 3, 1744), but the Stein Castle on the Traun was sold to Count Fugger von Kirchberg in 1633 . The Törring-Stein branch had a family grave in the Baumburg monastery .

The 1745 by marriage acquired, the Westphalian Graf College associated County Gronsfeld was lost in 1794 by the French occupation. As compensation, the family received the former Reichsabbey Gutenzell ( Cistercian women ) in Upper Swabia according to § 24 of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of February 25, 1803 . This line, now Toerring-Gutenzeller and belonging to the high nobility , was mediatized in the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1806 and expired in 1860 with Count Max August Johann. From the last still blooming Seefeld-Jettenbacher line became Count Clemens Maria to Toerring-Jettenbach (* 1826, † 1891) of the Kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg in 1888 for recognition as the legal successor of the extinct unable magnificent house the predicate Grace .

Members of the ramified family were often appointed to the immediate circle of the Bavarian rulers or to leading clerical positions.

The family still owns extensive lands with agriculture and forestry in Pertenstein (since 1382), Jettenbach, Seefeld (since the middle of the 15th century), Pörnbach (since 1622) and Winhöring (since 1721) as well as breweries and gravel mining companies . The Jettenbacher brewery was first mentioned in 1426; Around 1500 the Toerring house received the privilege of brewing beer for sale from the ducal government, which is why the Jettenbach brewery has been operating there ever since. In 1998 the Graeflich von Moy'sche Hofbrauhaus Freising was acquired. Until 1974 the family ran the Uher factory, which they founded in 1952 .

The current head of the family is Hans Veit Graf zu Toerring-Jettenbach (* 1935).
