biography

family

Wilhelm von Graben was born as the son of the important nobleman and imperial politician Ulrich III. von Graben and Agnes Närringer were born. The genealogist Gabriel Bucelin titled Ulrich III. in his work "Germania topo-chrono-stemmato-graphica sacra et prophana" as a baron . But there is no known elevation of Von Grabens to the (free) master class. The Gorizian captain and imperial administrator Virgil von Graben was one of his cousins.

Wilhelm married Magdalena von Stubenberg ( who was still a child when she married von Graben in 1512, and after his death married Friedrich von Gleinz and then Erasmus von Ratmannsdorf ), a daughter of Hans von Stubenberg and Barbara von Baumkirchen , and a sister of Wolfgang (Wolf) von Stubenberg. This marriage resulted in four children: Georg Siegmund , Andrä , Margareta and Anna von Graben .

From his marriage to Magdalena von Stubenberg, Wilhelm was able to acquire various goods belonging to the Stubenberg family for usufruct, because Magdalena's mother had transferred all her claims to the Stubenberg inheritance to Wilhelm.

activity

Wilhelm von Graben and his two brothers Andree and Wolfgang came in 1494 through negotiations with the Roman-German King Maximilian I for the purchase price of some villages and ponds in possession of the lordship and Saldenhofen Castle . From 1498 onwards, his brother Wolfgang was named as the sole imperial caretaker [pronounced burgrave ] on Saldenhofen.

By the later Emperor Maximilian I, Wilhelm was enfeoffed in 1507 with [the Stubenbergische] Burg Neuberg [ Schloss Neitberg ]. In the same year he and all of his heirs were given ownership of the castle, the castle hat and all affiliations from Neuberg.

In 1512 Wilhelm von Graben received all of her hereditary property from his mother-in-law Barbara von Baumkirchen von Stubenberg. In 1516 Wilhelm and his brother Wolfgang transferred their goods in Pöllau to the Vorau Abbey . According to Baron von Valvasor , Wilhelm was involved in the Carniolan St. Christophorus Society in 1517 . In 1520 he and his brothers Andree and Wilhelm von Graben were named by Valvasor as the owner of the ancestral castle Graben near Novo mesto . He had other possessions on the Mur in southern Styria; there the villages Ottendorf , Heiligkreuz and Altendorf were under his rule.

In 1522 Wilhelm von Graben was involved in a dispute with three other gentlemen [including Veit von Fladnitz, the second husband of his mother-in-law] regarding the rule that had come from the Stubenberg inheritance and the Gutenberg Castle , which according to the transfer of his mother-in-law belonged to him, and he was also awarded. Wilhelm von Graben was buried along with the graves of his ancestors in Rein Abbey .
