Ulrich II. (Pfannberg)
Ulrich II of Peggau-Pfannberg († 1249 ) was the first Count of Pfannberg , district judge of Styria and Vogt of St. Paul .
Life
His father was the Free Leutold I. von Peggau († 1212); his great-grandfather Rudolf I von Zeltschach- Peggau († after 1138) lost his paternal title of count in an unknown way, Ulrich II regained the dignity of count for his family in 1237.
In the document from the date Vienna February 1237, in which Emperor Friedrich II confirmed his privileges to the Teutonic Knight Order , he takes the first place among the Styrian witnesses as "Count von Phannenberch". Presumably he was already the highest district judge in Styria at this point. In 1240 he is found again in the entourage of Duke Friedrich II of Austria . In its wake he also took part in June / July 1241 in its victorious battle against the Mongols . The last ducal document with Count Ulrich as a witness also dates from this year; in this, Duke Friedrich presents the Teutonic Knight Order.
From a document from 1243 written in the name of Count Ulrich it is not clear whether he was only the highest judge or not even the governor of Styria.
Count Ulrich acquired the bailiwick of St. Paul - presumably through his nephew Abbot Leutold (1248–1258). Ulrich's castles Rabenstein and Loschenthal / Löschental were in the vicinity of the monastery. Later abbots were rather hostile to the Pfannbergers.
The last document in which the "Comes de Phannenberch" appears as the first witness dates from 1249, August 22nd; it is about a legal transaction between Meinhard von Görz and Friedrich von Ortenburg .
