biography

Familiar

Ulrich von Graben was the son of the Gleichenberg Burgrave Ulrich I von Graben , from whom he probably inherited this office , and Gertrud († both around 1325). In 1330 he married Barbara, a daughter of Johann von Auersperg and Cimburgis Schauerpeck, and later a noblewoman named Gertraud. († before 1375). Nothing is known about the descendants of Ulrich II. His heir seems to have been his brother Friedrich I. von Graben . Ulrich's first documentary mention dates back to the year 1300, when he and his brothers Veit, Otto I and Friedrich I von Graben donated an annual legacy to the Rein monastery . In 1314 he came into the possession of the village of Wetzelsdorf near Kornberg . In 1324 he and his brother Otto were sealed in the exchange certificate of their nephews, the Lords of Stubenberg . In 1325 he donated fifty marks of silver to the Rein monastery. Thereupon the abbot of the Rein Abbey committed to the Graben brothers to read an annual commemorative mass for their father Ulrich, who died in the same year.

coat of arms

Through the joint purchase of Kornberg by the brothers Otto I. , Ulrich II. And Friedrich I. in 1328 from Friedrich Kornberger, including the coat of arms and accessories , a new coat of arms was adopted, the one with the shovel, the spade; this could provide the explanation of the different gender coat of arms of the Kornberg line of the lords of Graben and their ancestry in Lower Austria, Tyrol and the Netherlands (but not in Carinthia and East Tyrol) to the family coat of arms with the sloping beam.

Annotation:

  • From his mother Gertraud von Graben (Gertravt Grabnerin) her coat of arms seal with the sloping beam from 1331 has been preserved.

Act

Ulrich II von Graben came in 1328 together with his brothers Otto and Friedrich I into possession of the Kornberg lordship and the Kornberg Castle , a sovereign fiefdom , which they bought from Friedrich Chorenberger (Kornberger) along with a new coat of arms. Kornberg became the headquarters of the Graben and gave its name to the Styrian line, the Kornberger line . In addition, the Graben brothers bought the villages of Edelsbach and Krottendorf and the Wetzelsdorf estate. The descendants of his brother Friedrich owned the Kornberg estate and castle until 1543, when this (Styrian) branch of the family with the knight Andrä von Graben in the male line dried up.

In 1330 an Ulrich von Graben - this could be Ulrich II von Graben - was notarized as lord of the small Graben estate near Würmla . His coat of arms seal is mentioned as follows: A sloping shovel without a handle, two buffalo horns on the helmet . This, his coat of arms, represents a combination of the Carniolan family coat of arms with the sloping bar and the buffalo horns and the Styrian coat of arms with the shovel.

In 1332 Eckel von Friedberg sold the March service to the brothers Ulrich II., Otto I. and Friedrich I. von Graben at 20 Hubs in Rassendorf, today's Ratschendorf.

Ulrich von Graben was also named in 1343 (probably until 1358) as a princely Freis burgrave of Rothenfels (also known as Wel (t) z), and in 1345 as a Wallsee administrator (burgrave) on Gleichenberg .

In 1354, Duke Albrecht pledged Burg und Herrschaft Hohenwang [the administrative center of the area of ​​today's northern Styrian municipality of Langenwang ] to Ulrich von Graben, who then called himself Burgrave von Hohenwang . After his death in 1361, the area was given back to sovereign burgraves for administration.

Ulrich von Graben also owned his family's ancestral castle, Graben Castle , near Novo mesto .
