Life

Wok's parents were Budiwoj von Krumau and Perchta von Falkenstein . She was a granddaughter of Kalhoch II von Falkenstein, the founder of the Cistercian monastery Schlägl . Wok is documented for the first time for the year 1272, when on March 19, together with his brothers Zawisch von Falkenstein and Witiko , he notarized a document from the brothers Heinrich and Witiko von Rosenberg († 1277), with which they gave the Hohenfurt Abbey the right of patronage over the church transferred from Raabs .

After their brother Zawisch was executed in 1290, Wok and Witiko were allowed to keep their properties.
