history

Origin and possessions

Ministerials from Wildon and Wallsee

The family line begins with Herrand von Trautmansdorf , who is mentioned in a document from 1308 to 1325. The family was initially in the service of the von Wildon ministers and then passed into those of the von Wallsee . The Trauttmansdorffers developed into one of the most important ministerial families in Austria.

Stammburg Trautmannsdorf (Trautmannsdorf an der Leitha) and Stammhaus Trautmannsdorf in Eastern Styria

According to older literature, the noble family is said to have settled in Trautmannsdorf Castle in Trautmannsdorf an der Leitha as early as the 12th century , whose name is derived from a Trutman who served under the Babenbergs around 1100 .

The actual parent house of the same name , however, was located in Trautmannsdorf in Eastern Styria , today part of the municipality of Bad Gleichenberg , near Feldbach (Styria) in the district of Southeast Styria .

Branches in Styria, Tyrol, Lower Austria, Bohemia and Hungary

Branches of the family were in Styria and Tyrol , in Lower Austria the Trauttmansdorff were established in 1513 with the acquisition of Totzenbach .

The Imperial Secret Council Maximilian von und zu Trauttmansdorff was the first of numerous lordships in Bohemia to acquire Bischofteinitz Castle in 1623 , which remained the headquarters until 1945. He had been able to acquire the rule cheaply from the Bohemian Court Chamber , which had come into possession in 1621 because the previous owner Wilhelm von Lobkowitz had been sentenced to death and expropriated for participating in the Prague uprising. The greatest beneficiary of the expropriations, however, was the imperial generalissimo Wallenstein , whose overthrow Maximilian von Trauttmansdorff contributed in 1634.

Teinitz Castle and Lordship remained in the possession of Prince Trauttmansdorff until they were expropriated in 1945. From 1656, Hostouň and Puclice also belonged to their property in Teinitz .

Goods were also acquired in Hungary from 1625 onwards. In 1710 the Gitschin ( Jičín ) castle and manor were acquired and, like Teinitz, made a family entourage.

Ennobling

Barons, imperial counts, princes

In 1598, the family were granted the hereditary-Austrian baron in Prague . They received the imperial dignity in 1623 (1625 with Bohemian confirmation and Hungarian indigenous ; 1667 Bohemian incolate ) and in 1805 the imperial and Bohemian princely dignity.

In 1861, the Trauttmansdorff family was granted hereditary membership of the manor house of the Austrian Imperial Council .

Nickname Weinsberg

The nickname Weinsberg is derived from the direct imperial rule Weinsberg in Württemberg, which Maximilian von Trauttmansdorff owned as an imperial endowment during the Thirty Years' War from 1635 to 1648 , but returned to Württemberg after the Peace of Westphalia . The name was retained, however, as the family name had been extended to Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg in 1639 due to an imperial award .

Swabian Imperial Counts College

Maximilian von und zu Trauttmansdorff (1584–1650), Imperial Privy Councilor, Chamberlain and Chief Steward

In 1778 the family was reintroduced into this college of the Reichstag due to the descent of Count Maximilian, who had been admitted to the Swabian Imperial Counts College of the Imperial Council of Weinsberg in 1631 , initially as a "personalist", as there was no current ownership of imperial territory. On January 6, 1805 , the direct imperial rule of Umpfenbach was acquired , which in 1805 was elevated to the status of a princely imperial county in order to enable the important Austrian statesman Count Franz Ferdinand to become imperial prince. This property was sold again in 1812 after the end of the Old Kingdom and its institutions (1806).
