The following families are noted here as being the ancestral families of the wives of the Trainer family members, and thus the direct ancestors of The Three Loeck Sisters. There are two families that have their own separate pages from the rest of these ‘Antecedent Families’ and they are Alnpeck and Nothafft / Nothaft. The families below are listed alphabetically, not chronologically.
There are charts showing family relationships throughout this page to help the reader better understand as well as a seven page pdf containing all seven charts that can be found here.

Friedrich Auer von Au und Prennberg / Brennberg.
The family had its ancestral estate at Moosburg an der Isar near Landshut. A Hans Auer is mentioned in 1284 at a tournament in Regensburg. The secured lineage begins with Hartwich Auer (1230 – 1290), who is buried with his wife Petrissa in the Franciscan monastery in Landshut. The branch line of Frederick/ Friedrich died out with his grandson Bernhard Auer von Herrenkirchen around 1500 but is carried on through the female line via Catharina Auer von Au und Prennberg (ca. 1280 – aft. 1339) and The Three Loeck Sisters. She married Conrad I von Nothaft / Nothafft (ca. 1275 – ca. 1317).
At the end of the 13th century, when the landowning families such as the Auer around Regensburg began to decline in favor of long-distance traders, more and more families gradually moved into the city to engage in this form of trade. They also took a keen interest in the autonomous city administration, exploited the prince’s need for money and gradually took possession of the city offices by taking pledges, and as a result many of the long-established land-owning families became impoverished. Later however, they too were pushed out of the city council when, in 1330, one of the strongest of the old families, the Auer, made a last stand, calling this conclusion into question.
With the help of a few other families and above all the craftsmen, the Auer seized absolute power in Regensburg for four years. Provost Friedrich von Aue(r) took over the powers of the mayor, but without calling himself that. It was not until 1334 that the counter-movement, which came from Otto Woller, Heinrich Tundorfer, Rüger and Konrad Löbel, among others, and again with the help of the craftsmen, succeeded in breaking the rule of the Auer; driving them out of the city.
They withdrew to their castles and from there waged a guerrilla war against Regensburg’s trade for years, which left deep wounds on the city’s economic life. It was not until 1343 that Emperor Ludwig succeeded in making peace. The Auer had to hand over the property stolen from Regensburg merchants and pro forma acquired Regensburg citizenship for six years. The role of the aristocratic Regensburg councilors was finally played out with the expulsion of the Auer family. Among the castles occupied by the Auer was the property that was inherited from the Brennberg family and shown below:
Another account of the rebellion is as follows: The great and powerful lords, the Auer, who had set up with their servants and feudal people a kind of bodyguard, and who had often gone to church with more than 40 sworn men, had now lowered the tone deeply enough that the indignant crowd, among whom there might have been many who thirsted for equal prestige and enjoyment, and wanted to put themselves in the Auer’s place, considered everything to be an illusion and could no longer be appeased or wooed, and so converging and conspiring decided to put an end to the Auer rule and soon the whole city was in an uproar. The following year 1334, finally plunged the local township into complete confusion, and the Auer were driven out. When the last day of the proud arbitrary rule of the patrician noble families came, Friedrich Auer escaped from the city with his sons and relatives, in order not to become a victim of popular rage. The name Auer became no longer mentioned without reluctance. Guild members took over from the noble families, and the first legislative authority was now divided between the Rath and the commoners, the executive and sovereign power remained exclusively with the council and the courts.
Friedrich I Auer von Au und Prennberg is a direct ancestor of the Three Loeck Sisters. A cousin of Friedrich’s – Friedrich der Auer von der Adelburg – married one of Gumprecht an der Haid’s daughters, Kunigunde, and their son was Georg Auer. Kunigunde’s sister Caecilia Gumprecht, who married Heinrich Tundorffer, is also a direct ancestor of the Three Loeck Sisters. It gets complicated.
As noted, Friedrich Auer von der Adelburg and Friedrich Auer Au und Prennberg were cousins. In 1330/31 Friedrich II Auer von Adelburg had allied himself with the guilds of the craftsmen and was then elected mayor. He was also supported by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian, who wanted to secure influence in Regensburg. The wealth of the family enabled Friedrich II to build up an arbitrary dictatorial rule in the city along with the rest of the Auer family and he was forcibly expelled from the city in 1334 in what was known as ‘the Auer uprising’ of the citizens that he had oppressed with his sons and relatives. Friedrich II Auer withdrew to his castle in Brennberg, from where he maintained a violent feud for 8 years which led to raids on the Regensburg merchants. In 1343 the opposing parties were reconciled and Frederick I was again a normal citizen of the city for six years.
Friedrich der Auer von der Adelburg (Friedrich von Au) married Caecilia (Gumprecht) Tundorffer ’s sister Kunigunde Gumprecht. Below, the grave slab of the wife of Georg Auer, the son of Kunigunde Gumprecht and Friedrich der Auer von der Adelburg. The slab, made of red marble, is embedded in the floor. The inscription round it reads:
In the year of the Lord 1380. (I) In the year of the Lord 1383, on the eighth day after the feast of Saint Agnes, Mrs. Anna, the wife of Mr. Georg Auer, died. (ii) Date: 1383 January 28
Much of the wealth of the Auer family resulted from the marriage of Friedrich Auer von Au with Gutta von Prennberg / Brennberg. It would be remiss us of not to note the connection here with Reinmar von Brennenberg (also known as Reimar II von Brennberg ) (c. 1210 – 1271 ) who was a knight of Brennberg and minstrel to the bishop of Regensburg. A total of ten songs by Reinmar II von Brennenberg have been preserved. His son Reimar III was less fortunate having been assassinated by some citizens of Regensburg in 1270, as shown below:
DÜRNSTETTER / DÜRNSETTER
Heinrich I. Dürnstetter = ? >> Georg (Jörg) Dürnstetter == Cöara Chäutzeö / Schätzel >> Dorothea Dürnstetter (ca. 1340 – ca. 1419) == Stefan Ingolstetter / Ingolstätter >> Dorothea Ingolstetter == Albrecht II Sterner (ca.1350 – 1412) >> Barbara Sterner (1400 – 1466) == Peter Portner >> Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435– 1480/85) == Hans Trainer (1430 – 1507) >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) == Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576) >>> The Three Loeck Sisters.
Jörg Dürnstetter (the father of Dorothea) along with his brothers Heinrich II, Konrad, and Friedrich, were owners of one of the most successful long-distance trading companies in Regensburg. In 1339 they experienced losses due to robbery of goods by the Auer family and at about the same time in the area of Mainz. The prosperity of the family speaks from their wills. They also offer the best example that simultaneous work in long-distance trade and in the city administration was only possible if several members of the same family belonged to the same company. Heinrich II was named in the council in 1345 and 1360, and was also a councilor in 1345 several times.
Dorothea Dürnstetter (ca. 1350 – ca. 1419), was the daughter of Georg (Jörg) Dürnstetter and Clara Chäutzel / Schätzel, the widow of N.N. Mäller, and the third wife of Stefan Ingolstetter / Ingolstätter, Senior and the direct ancestor of the Three Loeck Sisters.
In the will of her father (Jörg Dürnstetter) from 1360, Dorothea is named as an heiress, and she appears in documents dated 1371, again as an heiress, and is referred to there as Torathe, die Ingelstetarinn.
She is mentioned, together with her son Jakob Ingolstetter, in a sales document from 1394 as Dorothe dy Ingolstetärynn, Steffans des Ingolstetär Witib. She drafts her will on the Tuesday before Simon and Judah (October 28) 1409. In it she stipulates that she will be buried “with four fraternities on the tum” (= cathedral). Her tomb is in the vestibule opposite St. Stephen’s Chapel next to her husband Stephan Ingolstetter’s grave.
In her will, she bequeathed, among others, to the wife of Mr. Ulrich Probst, currently “City Treasurer of Regensburg”, her mother-of-pearl, which her mother gave her and her silver-gilded Krausen to his wife Kunigunde.
She bequeaths to her son Jacob Ingolstetter four and twenty gulden Leibtings, and her double remunerated head, which her brother Conrad Dürnstetter blessedly gave her. To her daughter in law (Jacob’s wife) a ‘clainod’ that is worth four pfunt pfenig. To Aurelia, the wife of her other son Lucas Ingolstetter, a ‘clainod’ that is also worth “four pfunt pfennig”. For her grandsons Stephan d. I. (= the Ingolstetter), as well as Jac. i.e. (=Jacob Ingolstetter) each a certain sum that should be given in advance when getting married. She gives Hansen Dürnstetter, her brother’s son, a silver scarf and the wife of Ulrich Gumprecht some silver.
To her son in law Albert dem Sterner (Albrecht II Sterner), a coin, a double remunerated head, that contains three and a half mark’s worth of silver. To her daughter, Dorothea der Sternerin, Albrecht II’s wife, eight pounds of Leibtings, as well as her silver bowl (being the direct ancestors of The Three Loeck Sisters).
She bequeaths to her sons Jacob and Lucas Ingolstetter her house and farmstead, etc. Then she lists how the property will be divided, i.e. if son Jacob dies before son Lucas or vice versa, and then considers her daughter’s respective grandchildren and children.
Returning to the Dürnstetter family, Heinrich I the Elder had four sons: Friedrich, Heinrich II (the younger), Jörg / Georg (Dorothea’s father) and Konrad.
Heinrich II (the younger) Dürnstetter married Elspet Zant. She is documented in 1352 as the daughter of the mayor of Regensburg and chamberlain of Niedermünster – Albrecht the Elder Zant. They had two daughters: Kunigunt and Margarethe, After her marriage to Heinrich II Dürnstetter, Elspet married Ulrich Puedenstorffer. Margarethe married Hans Ingolstetter.
In 1359 Elspet (Zant) Dürnstetter is to receive 2 pounds as a dowry from the city.
On April 30, 1374, Elspet, as the daughter of the deceased mayor, Albrecht Zant, declares her claim against her brother in law Görg Dürnstetter concerning the inheritance of the sisters Elsbet and Christine, her daughters from Heinrich II Dürnstetter, her first husband, who died in 1360.
As noted, the daughter of Heinrich II and Elspet (Zant) Dürnstetter was Margarethe who married Hans Ingolstetter. Their daughter Anna Ingolstetter married Thomas Sitauer. Their daughter Anna Sitauer married Georg im Hirss. Their daughter Anna married Martin PROBST. Their daughter Ursula married ERASMUS TRAINER. In other words:
Heinrich II Dürnstetter == Elspet Zant >> Margarethe Dürnstetter == Hans Ingolstetter >> Anna Ingolstetter == Thomas Sitauer >> Anna Sitauer == Georg /Jorg im Hirss >> Anna Sitauer == Martin Probst >> Ursula Probst -= ERASMUS TRAINER >> Hans Trainer (1430 – 1507) == Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) = Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576)

The most important line of business for the Gumprecht family was coin minting. Other interests included trading which began in the mid-13th century such as in: cloth, metals and wine and, at least as important, lending money. Their many debtors included the Bavarian dukes as well as Regensburg bishops. The earliest Gumprecht played an important role in municipal administration, holding such offices as treasurer and mayor. Known as ‘Gumpertus monetarius’ he had four children: two daughters and two sons.
One daughter was married to Heinrich Gemlinger; and another to Leopold [?] Waiter.
His two sons were Leopold and Chunrad, of whom only Chunrad (ca 1230 – 1316/18) had children.
Konrad / Chunrad Gumprecht an der Haid, born around 1230, died between 1316/18. He married around 1250 Irmgart Waiter. He was the son of ‘Gumpertus monetarius’, the father of Gumprecht an der Haid, and grandfather of Caecilia (Gumprecht) Tundorffer and thus the direct ancestor of The Three Loeck Sisters.
Documents from 1260/1307, 1299 named: Konrad Gumprecht as Councilor in 1284, 93, 95. He was the first of his family to join the city council. He engaged in lively activity at the mint as well as money lending, mainly to the Bavarian dukes. From 1291 to 1293 he received four repayments from Duke Ludwig. In 1302, as a member of the societas, or Company, which was known as “Gumprecht-Zant-Gemlinger-Straubinger”, he settled accounts with Duke Rudolf. In 1300 creditors of the Regensburg bishop, gave Konrad and his nephew Gemlinger 250 pounds R.d. owed. Konrad also endeavored to invest the assets acquired in this way in real estate or rents: e.g. Metten Abbey assigned him various Gülten in Regensburg in 1299. In 1314 he appears for the last time in the council lists.
Gumprecht An der Haid was the son of the above Konrad / Chunrad Gumprecht an der Haid (ca. 1230 – 1316/18) and his wife Irmgart Waiter. An der Haid, married Irmgart Hiltprant, and with his brothers Ortlieb, Paltram, and Leopold (see grave slab below), quickly moved to the top of the Regensburg council, becoming patricians in economic and constitutional life, and together they increased their paternal inheritance considerably. As early as 1295, their father Konrad Gumprecht of the Metten Hoffstätten monastery in Regensburg had invested enough wealth with his sons that in 1314, Ortlieb and Paltram Gumprecht received as a pledge of security for loans to the Wittelsbach family their Weichs Castle.
Gumprecht an der Haid and Irmgart Hiltprant only had daughters. Their sons-in-law were: Heinrich Tundorffer [direct ancestor of the Three Loeck sisters], Friedrich der Auer and Konrad von Nothafft [another direct ancestor of the Three Loeck sisters via Anna Nothafft].
Caecilia Gumprecht, born around 1280 married around 1305 to Heinrich Tundorffer. They had a son Steffan Tundorffer who married Osanna auf Tanau. Some sources say that Stephan married a Dürnstetter, the daughter of Friedrich Dürnstetter, however we lean more toward the auf Tunau / Tanau theory.
They had a daughter Ann Tundorffer who married Martin I Probst (See Probst for more)
Friedrich der Auer von der Adelburg (Friedrich von Au) married Caecilia’s sister Kunigunde Gumprecht.
Gumprecht an der Haid bought a house in 1314 in Regensburg and in the same year “gelt” from the lords of Ehrenfels. In 1320 the bishop of Augsburg and other citizens gave him the St. Cassians hof. Gumprecht an der Haid also appears in the Munich city account book from 1321-26. The brothers are attested in the mint that they had inherited from their ancestors: 1316/18, 1322, and Gumprecht an der Haid in 1319 is recorded as master of the mint. Between 1303 and 1325 he is a city councilor, in 1313 and Treasurer of the city, the bridge, and of the Obermünster monastery.
nobody appears below him
When, in 1319, Duke Friedrich of Austria, Duke Rudolf of Bavaria. and the Archbishop of Salzburg allied to attack Regensburg and their troops appeared in front of the city gates and demanded free passage to the Nordgau, the city chamberlain, Gumprecht, appeared on the Haid before the citizens and reminded them of the oath they had taken to pay homage to King Ludwig. No gate was opened, so Friedrich had to withdraw and instead he devastated the area around the city. In the battle of Mühldorf and Ampfing, Friedrich was defeated and taken prisoner by his cousin Ludwig. He was first brought to Dornberg Castle by the archer captain Wolfhart Trainer, and from there the cavalcade moved on to Regensburg, where Ludwig triumphantly entered with the captured anti-king Friedrich. Both stayed at the Gumprecht’s house on the Haid before Friedrich was finally imprisoned at Trausnitz Castle. This house on the Haid was later owned by Erasmus Trainer, who had married Ursula Probst, Gumprecht’s great granddaughter. All being the direct ancestors of the Three Loeck Sisters.
In 1355 he was the ducal judge in Stadtamhof. He can be found in the community from 1355 to 1357. In the years 1358 to 1362, 1367 and 1377 he sat on the city council. He was also the caretaker of the new hospital (St. Oswald) in 1361, 1371, and 1372, and a Jewish judge in 1361, 1371, 1373 and 1375. In 1374 he was a sergeant on the Danube Watch. He held the office of city treasurer in 1368, 1369, and from 1371 to 1386.
In 1370 he signed a contract with Peter Sitauer and Hans Ingolstetter to set up a long-distance trading company. When Bishop Theoderich von Absberg announced a subsidium charitativum shortly after his accession to power in 1381, Leopold Gumprecht, brother of ‘our’ Gumprecht an der Haid, paid for the two impoverished monasteries of St. Clara and Holy Cross. Leopold was married twice, first to Margret (see below), second to Katharina, of whom it is unclear whether she was born Grafenreuther or Reich.
In 1387, Emperor Sigismund pledged part of his silverware and his crown worth 4,600 guilders to the city treasurer in order to be able to pay for his court in Regensburg. With this, Leopold Gumprecht, the last significant representative of this patrician family, died.
Margret was probably the first wife of the above-named Leopold Gumprecht. She was born Mülner from Pielenhofen (district Regensburg) and was the widow of Ulrich Sautzermann.
The inscription on the grave slab above reads (in part): In the year of our Lord 1387, the next Sunday after Bishop Erhard’s feast, Mr. Leopold Gumprecht, City Treasurer of Regensburg, died. And, in the year of our Lord 1357, Frau Margareta, the wife of Leopold Gumprecht, died on the eve of the Feast of the Sending Out of the Apostles, i.e. July 13th.
The inscription for the above says: In the year of our Lord 1410, Barbara, the wife of Leupold Gumpert, died on the Wednesday after the feast of Saint Vitus, may she rest in peace. We are not sure which Leopold the inscription refers to.
The Gumprecht’s house
The Gumprecht’sche Haus is a building in the old town of Regensburg, separated from the Imperial Hall and Old Town Hall only by the narrow Neue-Waag-Gasse.
The house was built around the turn of the 1st and 2nd millennium AD, first mentioned in 1052 and originally functioned as a fief of the Metten monastery. The Gumprecht family is named as the earliest owner at the end of the twelfth century.
The house consists of four wings and is four-storeys high with gabled and mansard roofs. The east façade is of stone, the north wing is high Gothic, around 1320/30, with late Gothic and baroque conversions and extensions. It initially consisted of several buildings, which were joined together over time and finally became one building.
Throughout its history, the house has accommodated numerous personalities as overnight guests, for example in the 11th century the college of princes, in 1322 the Roman-German King Ludwig the Bavarian and his rival Frederick the Handsome of Austria. On the tree below appear none of Gumprecht’s daughters (such as Cecilia) although all his brothers’ sons do appear.

Since 1258, members of the Inter Latinos merchant family can be found among the townspeople of Regensburg. A division of the family can be seen in the second half of the 13th century; the members of one line can be found in the episcopal service, the other line was very involved in the the city. This line begins with Haimo I.
Haimo II, probably the husband of Gertrude N.N., appears frequently in the council lists between 1284 and 1307. Their son Haimo the Elder and his son Haimo the Younger can be found in various functions in the city administration. Haimo the Younger can be traced back to 1317 as a member of the Hanseatic League, so it can be assumed that the family was also involved in long-distance trade. In 1332 the two Haimos (I and II) gave up their Bavarian fiefs.
The family resided on Wahlenstrasse; in the Golden Tower which was one of the highest family towers in Regensburg. The lower four floors were built around 1250 in quarry stone masonry with corner quads. At the same time, the southern residential wing was built as a four-storey gable roof construction with eaves and a bay window. In a second construction phase after 1300, the remaining upper floors of the tower were completed with battlements. At the top of the higher tower, in the lower area of the pyramid roof, which was only added around 1600 long after the Haimo family had left Regensburg. On the ground floor of the southern attached residential building is the profaned house chapel, which was called the Wahlenkapelle and was included in a papal register in 1287 as the Wallersche chapel.
The name Wahlen probably goes back to Italian merchants. Accordingly, Wahlenstrasse was also called Inter Latinos, unter den Walchen, whereby the family mentioned here also went by the name Haimo.
Kunigund Haim, was born around 1225, and died at Regensburg on 14th April 1280. She was the daughter of Haimo II. After her death, her son Läutwein Hiltprant donated an anniversary for her in 1305 at St. Emmeran, as well as in 1316 in Niedermünster with the preachers. She first married around 1245 to Konrad Hiltprant. They were the direct ancestors of The Three Loeck Sisters. She married her second husband Heinrich Zant (?) around 1277.
Konrad and Kunigund (Haim) Hiltprant had two daughters: 1. Irmgart Hiltprant born around 1260. She married around 1280 Gumprecht an der Haid (see Gumprecht). 2. Leutwein Hiltprant (ca. 1250 – 1325) who married Diemut Neumberger / Neunburger. Their daughter Diemut Hiltprant married Heinrich Hartper (see Hartper).
Kunigund’s father was Haimo II. Inter Latinos/Unter die Wahlen (= Walschen, after living in the Italian quarter), died in 1267. We can trace him through various certificate such as in 1258 as councilman, 1262 as consiliarius ( = councillor). With him begins the bourgeois line of the family, which turned to long-distance trade, while his brother Hugo continued to devote himself to the episcopal service as miles (= knight) and ministerialis ecclesiae. Kunigund’s grandfather, Haimo I, married ca.1255 Gertrud N.N. Below the grave plate for Gertrude:
Haimo I’s father was Heinrich Inter Latinos, died after 1259. In addition to frequent witness activity in the years 1220 – 1252, he appears as ministerialist ecclesiae Ratiponensis in 1232, and as miles (= knight) in 1233 and 1255. Episcopal trial magistrate in Regensburg 1236-1259. 1258 as councilman in the first preserved council list
Hugo Inter Latinos was documented in 1170 and 1180 as an episcopal ministerial and provost in Regensburg.
With Haimo I, the Inter Latinos or Unter den Wahlen surname begins to disappear and the given name Haimo becomes a surname – Haim. His son Haimo II, and his grandson Haimo III, and great grandson Haimo IV were also active as merchants in the city’s administration.
After the Auer uprising, the Haim left Regensburg in 1334 along with several other well-known families. Perhaps they turned to Vienna, where Haim appeared as ducal Austrian mint master as early as 1330. Coat of Arms: Two turned away red lions with a common head in a silver shield.

Jörg im Hirss was the son of the citizen of the same name, who sat on the Regensburg council from 1371 to 1378. In 1389 he was probably still a minor, but in 1393 he was already married to Anna, the daughter of Hans Gravenreuter. In the year 1401 he is verifiable as named. In his second marriage, he was married to Anna, a daughter of Thomas Sitauer and his wife Anna, née Ingolstetter.
Anna im Hirss was a daughter of Jörg im Hirss and his second wife Anna, née Sittauer, and was the wife of Martin II Probst auf Tunau the Younger (born around 1370, died 1453/57).
The earliest im Hirss starts out as Hartneit and was Friedrich Hartneit, born circa 1270 and who lived in Regensburg. His son was Georg (Jörg) I., the elder, born around 1325, and died after 1400. Between 1370 – 1377 he was on the city council, from 1349 he was often a community representative and in 1357 as a councilor. He appears to also have been a money exchanger. He married Agnes Wartenberger.
There was a grave slab, now non-extant, that was inscribed to: Friedrich (?) Dürnstetter, Anna, wife of Jörg Hirs, Anna, their daughter, and wife of Martin Probst auf Tunau and Ursula Trainer, daughter of Martin and Anna Probst.

The Hiltprant (Hildebrand) are one of the few Regensburg families that can be traced back to this day in a complete lineage. They currently still live in the southern part of the Upper Palatinate, mostly as farmers.
Crest: In silver, a fighting black lion, face forward, a red bar across the lion; on the open helmet with black/silver cover and bulge of the lion between two silver buffalo horns with red bands.
The direct ancestor of the Trainer family was Irmgart Hiltprant who was born around 1260 and died on 13th August 1328 and was buried in the old chapel “in a wonderfully raised grave” opposite the toll booth. In her will of April 2nd, 1327, she left significant legacies to her relatives. In 1280 she married Gumprecht an der Haid.
The Hilprand / Hiltprant family first appears in 1262 in Regensburg documents. Members of this family, especially Leutwein d. Ä. and Ludwig, are to be proven as councilors, as named and as members of the Hansrat.
When in 1246 a priest slipped on the footbridge over the Glockenbach stream and dropped the host, the townspeople built a chapel there and commissioned the Hilprand / Hiltprant brothers to collect funds, from which Ulrich and Konrad Hiltprant then built the Augustinian monastery over a period of 14 years, which was handed over to the Augustinians on January 25, 1269. Here the Hiltprant family had their burial place. Konrad had an anniversary with the Augustinians that said: “Dom. Conradt Hiltprant sen. obiit ao 1276, fundator capellae D.N. Jesu Christi.”
Konrad and Kunigunde (Haim) had 4 sons and 5 daughters:
1. Friedrich Hiltprant — The eldest son Friedrich founded a branch, of which a later Friedrich Hiltprant worked together with the Auer against Regensburg as a robber baron and who later took over the dominion of Riekofen, after which this branch was named with a modified coat of arms. This branch was also related the Trainers.
2. Leutwein Hiltprant married Diemut Neumberger (ca. 1265 – 1308) around 1285 (see below)
3. Irmgart / Irmgard Hiltprant married Gumprecht an der Haid (see Gumprecht above)
4. Matz Hiltprant married around 1290 Otto I Woller [Later on a NN Hiltprant, living around 1350, married Otto II Woller] (see Woller below)
5. Leukard Hiltprant (oo Löbel)
6. Offmey Hiltprant, married Otto I Woller’s brother Ulrich I Woller, in his second marriage (see Woller).
Leutwein Hiltprant, was born around 1250, and died on 28.7.1325. He is documented in 1266, when his father [Konrad] let him, his sister Leukart, and his mother Kunigunde inherit a house that he had bought from the Prüfing monastery as a fief for their lifetime. In 1290 he was a witness to the banishment of Ortlieb Setzer. In 1297 he and his mother gave a farm to the widow Gertrud Pernold. In 1305 and 1316 he donated anniversaries for his parents in St. Emmeran, Niedermünster. In 1306, together with Karl Daum, Karl Gurtbeschlager and his sister, he received the St. Cassianshof as a dowry from Bishop Degenhard of Augsburg. In 1312 he and relatives from St. Emmeran received a farm “among the shearers”. He is recorded in numerous documents (from 1266 to his death). 1303-1321 councilor, 1315-1321 as named, 1316 as arbitrator. 1317 member of the Hanseatic Council as long-distance trader. In 1321 he and others were excommunicated by Bishop Nicolaus for obstructing the bishop in the exercise of civil jurisdiction and for destroying his episcopal house, as well as the houses of prelates, churches and monasteries. And yet, in 1324 he received a fief at the Ostentor from the abbot of St. Emmeran.
Leutwein Hiltprant married Diemut Neumberger (ca. 1265 – 1308) around 1285. She was the daughter Friedrich Neumburger (ca. 1235 – 1290 and his wife N.N. Daum whose father was Hertwig / Hartwig Daum (Pollex) and Petrissa von Stauff (see von Stauff).
The daughter of Leutwein and Diemut (Neumberger) Hiltprant was Diemut (Dietmute) Hiltprant. She married Heinrich Hartper (born circa 1270/80 and died after 1334). Like so many on this webpage, he was a long-distance trader and appeared on the council lists and was a member of the Regensburg Hanseatic League. As a long-distance trader in cloth, he formed a ‘societas’ with his brother [father?]-in-law Leutwein Hiltprant and Konrad Schleusinger. In 1326 the company he sold Tuche to the council in Munich.
On April 27, 1334, Leutwein Hiltprant, uncle of the Hartper children: Ulrich, Heinrich, Leutwein, Agnes and Elsbet, handed over to them the fortune that he had managed after the death of their parents.
A daughter of Heinrich and Diemut (Hiltprant) Hartper, either Agnes or Espet Hartper married Konrad Ingolstetter (see Ingolstetter) and they had a son Stefan (Stefan) Ingolstetter (see Ingolstetter)

The Ingolstadt / Ingolstetter family were the largest importers of Flemish cloth to Regensburg during the Middle Ages. In addition, they also traded in wine and maintained business relationships with Vienna. This family is hard to sort out genealogically as there appear to be several different families bearing the same name; each of whom share the same common first names such as Hans, Heinrich, or Perchtold, which makes it impossible to distinguish one from the other as their names flow over and over again across numerous documents.
Stephan Ingolstädter (1349 – 1387), who in 1377 joined the mint of Heinrich Gumprecht zu Etterzhausen (1345 – 1377), is the only one of the four members of the mint house families that has a recognizable personality. He had connections to Austria, where he owned vineyards, and in particular at Vienna where he was also a citizen and where in 1371 he bought a house. He sat on the Regensburg council from 1358 to 1385, at times he was also steward.
Stephan married three times:
First, to Anna Paumgartner, the daughter of Otto Paumgartner. They had two sons: 1. Jakob Ingolstetter and 2. Lukas (Lucas) Ingolstetter. Anna was the widow of Albrecht Mäller / Maeller with whom she had a son – Erhart Maeller.
Second, to Luzia / Lucie nee Woller, the widow of Konrad Vorpruck/ Von Pruck, citizen of Regensburg. They had a son Hans von Pruck. Her tombstone is from 1364 and is in the pavement of the cathedral cloister. She was the sister of the mayor Otto Woller and is mentioned in 1357 as the 2nd wife of Steffan Ingolstetter. At that time, she was the owner of a mill in Hüttenkofen through her first husband, who had bought the mill. She and Ingolstetter had a son and a daughter: 1. Stefan Ingolstetter and 2. Katrei Ingolstetter. Katrei married Georg Durnstetter whose sister Dorothea Durnstetter married Katrei’s father Stephan.
Third, to Dorothea Dürnstetter and their daughter was Dorothea Ingolstetter who married Albrecht II Sterner
Stephan’s father was:
Konrad II (Chunrad the Younger) Ingolstetter, known also as “on the Danube” was born at Regensburg around 1280 or 1281 and died after 1349. At some time between 1310/20 or (around 1330) he married NN or Agnes or Elsbet or Elsbeth Hartper / Harpper.
From 1312 to 1349 he is frequently mentioned in documents, from 1320 also with another Konrad I. (the Elder). He was a member of the Hanseatic League in 1317 and a member of the Hanseatic Council in 1340. In 1326, together with his brother Heinrich, he was “named” by the council as the “Ingolstetter auf Donau”. He worked as a long-distance trader in the company of his brothers Heinrich and Berthold I (see above). Around 1300 he and both his brothers did business together in Ghent and Ypres in Belgium. In 1314 and 1316, he and his pillion Chrazzer transported goods through the Tyrol. In 1330, as a partisan of the Auer, he joined the Auer alliance as “Konrad I. Ingolstetter auf Donau”, together with a “Konrad I Ingolstetter des Hartpers Eidam”. But in 1342 he stood against the Auer. He is mentioned in his brother Heinrich’s will in 1340.
Heinrich Ingolstetter “on the Danube”, was the brother of the above Konrad II. His date of birth cannot be determined but he died at Regensburg 1313 (according to his tombstone in the cathedral). In 1288 he appeared as a witness, and in 1290 was named a member of the council. His suffix “on the Danube” not only refers to his home near the landing place for ships, but also makes it possible to separate him from the other branches of the family whose members had the same first names. During his time, the Naqmen as a designation of origin became a permanent family name, because in 1290 it was still called “von Ingolffstat”, 1300 “von Ingolstat”, 1303 “der Ingolfstetair” and 1307 “Heinrich der Ingolsteter uf Tunaw”, or 1309 simply “Ingolsteter”. He was last documented on February 8th, 1312. His wife’s last name was Haller and they had a son Hans.
The father of the above Konrad II and Heinrich was Konrad (Chunrad / Cunrad) I., der Ältere. Ingolstetter who was born in about 1260 and he died around 1334 /50. His wife’s last name was Hetzer.
Hans I. Ingolstetter “on the Danube” (“on Tunau”), was the grandson of the above Konrad I and the son of the above Heinrich and his wife N.N. Haller. Hans was born around 1320, and died in 1361. He married Margaretha (Margarete) Dürnstetter in around 1350. Margaretha was the daughter of Heinrich and Elspet (Zant) Dürnstetter and she was thus the first cousin of Dorothea Dürnstetter who married Stephan Ingolstädter.
From 1355 until his death in 1361, Hans I. Ingolstetter took his father’s seat on the inner council. In 1336 and 1339 he was mentioned in the municipal register of personal belongings, and in 1340/41 he was accompanied by Heinrich Straubinger as importing cloth from Flanders. In 1350 he was enfeoffed “like his ancestors” by the bishop with customs and tolls in Regensburg; he occurs nine times in the council lists 1352-1361. Hans I. and Margaretha (Dürnstetter) Ingolstetter had a daughter Anna Ingolstetter, who was born circa 1352/54. Sometime after 1365 she married Thomas Sitauer. She died in 1420.
The last member of this family to appear in the city council was Hans Ingolstädter who attended one of the last official acts of the Council in 1592. He was a councilor for over ten years, besides being a “Juden” judge, city treasurer, and court house member.
Lukas Ingolstetter was the son of Dorothea, née Dürnstetter and Stephan Ingolstetter the Elder who had left him a considerable fortune from his trading activities. Lukas was therefore able to withdraw almost entirely from business life and concentrate on his offices in politics and administration. From 1412 to 1415 he was Hansrat, 1414 a member of the household, from 1420 to 1443 on the city council, in the years 1431, 1432, 1435 and 1436 as helmsman, in addition he officiated in 1420 and 1423 as Hansgraf, in 1429 as chamber administrator and in 1435 as sergeant of the Schererwacht.
He traveled as the official representative of the city of Regensburg to the various imperial diets, first to Frankfurt in 1427, immediately afterwards to the Heidelberg Hussite Day in 1427/28, in 1429 to Pressburg (Bratislava), in 1430 to the Nuremberg Diet of Princes and Cities and to the consultations of the imperial cities in Ulm and the Reichstag in Straubing. In 1431 he was at the Reichstag in Nuremberg and at the city council in Speyer, in 1432 at the Hussite negotiations in Basel, in 1438 in Nuremberg and in 1442 in Frankfurt. Shortly before his death, on November 20, 1444, he drew up his will.
He was married to Ursula, who came from the Augsburg merchant family Frickinger; however, the couple remained childless, so that after the death of Ursula, who had not left her own will, there were inheritance disputes between the Ingolstetter and Frickinger families.
Lukas Ingolstetter is considered the most outstanding political personality in the city of Regensburg in the first half of the 15th century, his reports and memoranda are among the most important sources for the history of the Imperial Diets, the negotiations, and the mood prevailing there. His sister Dorothea married Albrecht Sterner.
LÖBEL
Elizabeth Löbel == Lautwein I auf Tunau >> Osanna auf Tunau (1315 – 1369) == Steffan Tundorfer / Stephan Tundorffer >> Anna Tundorffer == Martin I Probst >> Martin II Probst == Anna im Hirs >> Ursula Probst == Erasmus Trainer, etc.
The daughter of Osanna auf Tunau and Stephan Tundorffer was Anna who married Martin I Probst. Their son, Martin II, married Anna im Hirs, and their daughter Ursula Probst married Erasmus Trainer.
According to Deutsche Inschriften Online, the grave stone shown below is for Elisabeth, the daughter of Albrecht Löbel / Löbl, the first wife of Leutwein I Tunauer the Elder [Lautwein Auf Tunau] and her daughter Anna. However, most other genealogical sources claim that Leutwein I’s wife was Elspet, and her father was Rüger Löbel (1265/70 – after 1332) not Albrecht. Whether Elizabeth or Elspet, she was born in Regensburg around 1295, and she died “in St. Mariae” in 1348. She married Lautwein I auf Tunau around 1315.
The daughter of Lautwein I and Elizabeth / Elspet (Lobel) auf Tunau, Osanna auf Tunau (1315 – 1369), married (around 1340) Steffan Tundorfer / Stephan Tundorffer.
The important Löbl patrician family, had a major influence on the city’s political and economic fortunes from the 13th century. A Friedrich Löbel is documented as the first member of the family on the city council in 1284. Heinrich, who died in 1305, is the son of Konrad Löbel, probably the long-distance tradesman who was verifiable in the city council between 1312 and 1323 and died in 1333. In this case, Heinrich would be the brother of Rüger Löbl, who died young and was also the son of Konrad Löbel. Rüger, despite dying young, appears to have produced not only Elspet / Elizabeth who married Leutwein I auf Tunau, but also Nikolaus, who died around 1339, a son Rüger and his brother Leutwein / Läutwin.
In 1317 Rüger Löbl was a certified member of the Hanseatic League, 1318/19 certified activity in long-distance trade with Munich (city account book); 1326 chairman of the Hanseatic Council and Hansgraf; 1310 receipts from the bishop from the large customs; 1315 purchase of land in Haittenkofen; Participation in the administration of the city: 1326 – 1329 councilor and presiding elder of the city council, 1326 Hansgraf, and 1325, 1330, treasurer of Niedermünster.
Rüger Löbl was also frequently represented in the list of names and in the council lists. During the Auer uprising in 1332, Rüger was punished for “outrageous speech”, because the Löbels were quite hostile to the rule of the Auer, with the exception of Rüger’s third son Läutwin, who had already taken an active part in the conspiracies in 1330. Rüger was now forced to join the Auer uprising with his sons. But as soon as the change began in 1334, no Löbel stood by the league, not even Läutwin. They also benefited greatly from the expulsion of the Auer, because the bishop entrusted them with the provost’s court that the Auer had held up to then. Rüger’s son of the same name and his son Läutwin together took the probation judge’s chair from 1339 to 1348. In 1348 they lost the lucrative office to the people of Tunau (Pröbste auf Tunau).
This gravestone’s inscription reads: “In the year of our Lord 1348, on the feast of St. Martin, Elisabeth, the wife of Leutwein auf Tunau the Elder, and her daughter Anna died.” Since only one date is mentioned in the inscription, it can be assumed that she died in childbirth together with her daughter Anna.
The inscription of a non-extant gave slab below mentions three women: Anna (Sitauer), the wife of Jörg Hirs [II]; their daughter Anna who became the wife of Martin Probst of Tanau [III]; and Ursula, the daughter of Martin and Anna (Hirs) Probst. Ursula was the wife of Erasmus Trainer [IV].
All three women being the direct ancestors of the Three Loeck Sisters.
The top line of the same grave slab includes a reference to Friedrich (?) Dürnstetter but how exactly he fits with the three women is hard to conclude.

It is possible that this is Friedrich Dürnstetter, who is verifiable as a sealer from 1350 to 1366. He and his three brothers: Heinrich, Jörg, and Konrad were sons of Heinrich Dürnstetter the Elder.
MÄLLER
Perchtold Mäller >> Christeyn Mäller == Albrecht Zant >> Elspet Zant == Heinrich Dürnstetter >> Margarethe Dürnstetter == married Hans Ingolstetter >> Anna Ingolstetter == Thomas Sitauer >> Anna Sitauer == Georg /Jorg im Hirss >> Anna Im Hirss == Martin II Probst >> Ursula Probst == ERASMUS TRAINER
After the Auer family were expelled from Regensburg in 1334, the Mäller family gained great political and economic importance in the city.
Perchtold Mäller’s daughter Christeyn Mäller married Albrecht Zant and their daughter Elspet Zant married Heinrich Dürnstetter and their daughter Margarethe Dürnstetter married Hans Ingolstetter and their daughter Anna Ingolstetter married Thomas Sitauer etc.
The most renowned Mäller was Peter the son of Lautwein Mäller. In the city council he is verifiable in 1406 and 1407, from 1407 to 1426 he held the office of mayor, in 1420 he is also documented as a Jewish judge. His first wife Elsbet may have come from the Sintzinger family, his second wife Petronella was born Tunauer, his third wife, whom he had married in 1414, came from the Gumprecht family.
Another member of the Mäller family had married Dorothea Dürnstetter, and after Mäller’s death, she became the third wife of Stefan Ingolstetter / Ingolstätter.
Also, there was a marriage between Heinrich Portner I and N. N. Mäller and several generations later Walpurgis Portner married Hans Trainer. (See Portner)
PORTNER FAMILY
Heinrich I Portner == N.N. Mäller / Maeller >> Heinrich II Portner (ca 1300 – ca 1371) == Margarethe Woller >> Hans Portner (1348 – 1406) == Anna Lösel >> Peter I Portner == Anna Magdalena Schrenk von Notzing >> Peter II Portner == Barbara Sterner (1400 – 1466) >> Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) == Hans Trainer >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) == Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576) >>>>> The Three Loeck Sisters
The Portner family were a patrician and aristocratic family that held important administrative functions in Regensburg and operated a number of hammer mills in the Upper Palatinate. In the course of time, the Portner family owned the mills at: Leidersdorf, Theuern, Rieden, Haselmühl and Heringnohe. Starting in 1387, the products manufactured in each of these iron hammer mills, received a separate trademark stamped on them such as: “Sittig in der Pann” for Leidersdorf, “Flammen in der Pann” for Theuern, and “Ring in der Pann”, for Hesselmühl (Haselmühl), the “Angel uffm Ruck”, and for Heringnohe “Feuerhaken in der Pann”, etc.
In the 16th century, a number of family members who had become Protestants, suffered disadvantages in the course of the Counter-Reformation. After the Thirty Years’ War, traces of them are lost in the annals of the Upper Palatinate. Their coat of arms shows a fallow deer leaping to the right, white in color and with golden antlers on a blue field.
Heinrich I Portner married N.N. Mäller / Maeller, the daughter of Perchtold II. d. Jüng. Maeller. Their son was:
Heinrich II Portner (circa 1300 – circa 1371). He joined the Auer uprising and then fled to Augsburg with his sons Peter (the elder) and Heinrich. In 1334, 1343 he was a citizen in Augsburg. In 1367/1369 a councilor in Regensburg and in 1371 city treasurer. He married around 1330 Margarethe Woller (ca.1309 – 1372).
Heinrich II also appears in the Hanseatic Committee in the Regensburg council lists. His commercial activities related to the cloth, spice and wine trade as well as the moneylender’s business. He was also a creditor to the Dukes of Bavaria.
Hans Portner, son of the above, was born in around 1348, and died after 1406. He was Long-distance trader and 1392 councilor. He married Anna Lösel, around 1370.
Their son was Peter Portner (the elder) (? – ca. 1370). He was a citizen in Augsburg for a while, then returned to Regensburg and was a councilor there from 1397-1399. In 1394 Anna Magdalena Schrenk (v. Notzing) at Augsburg.
Peter, the Younger Portner, son of the above, was born between 1395 and 1400, and died in 1445. He married Barbara Sterner in 1421. She was the daughter of Albrecht II and Dorothea (Ingolstetter) Sterner.
Peter the younger was in 1428, 1431, 1436 and 1440 Hansgraf (director of the Hanseatic court), He was in 1425/45 a councilor and in 1441, 1442, and 1444 Stauffherr together with Erasmus Trainer and his brother-in-law Probst. He was also Schultheyß and city treasurer. Peter Portner was a member of the Inner Council almost continuously from 1425 until 1443. The family owned a property at Gesandtenstrasse. Barbara (Sterner) Portner donated a vault in the small cloister of the Minorite Church, the apex stone bears the coats of arms of the Portner and Sterner families; their anniversary was celebrated by the Minorites on October 18th.
Peter and his wife’s coat of arms (fallow deer) were once in the windows of the larger cloister of the Minorite Monastery, dated 1460 as well as on a keystone that once stood on the vault they had made in the cloister.
Walpurgis Portner was the daughter of Peter the Younger Portner and Barbara Sterner. She was born around 1435 and died in 1480, and was buried at St. Emmeran. She married Hans Trainer. She was the sister of the well-known mayor and city treasurer Linhard / Leonhard Portner, (married Anna Steinhausner) whose son Linhard married Hans Trainer’s niece Ursula (Trainer) Frank (born in 1451) died around 1470.
In Regensburg cathedral there is a grave slab epitaph for Barbara, wife of Michael Portner which reads “A(nno) D(omini) 1507 am S(ankt) Heimerams tag starb die E(rbar) frau Barbara”. Saint Emmeran’s day is 22nd September.
Barbara was the daughter of Wilhelm Frank / Franke and Ursula Trainer, according to the inscription, and the sister of the Regensburg councilor of the same name, Wilhelm Frank. She was married to Michael Portner, the son of Hieronymus Portner and Ursula, née Notscherff. Ursula Notscherff was the daughter of Elspet Trainer who married Erhart Notscherff and their daughter Ursula married Hieronimus Portner.
Anna Glockengiesser whose grave slab appears below was a daughter of Hieronymus and Ursula (Notscherff) Portner and probably the mother of the brothers Sebastian and Christoph Glockengiesser.
Wolfgang Portner was born in 1461 and was the son of Lienhard Portner and Anna Steinhausner and the brother of Linhard / Leonhard Portner who married Hans Trainer’s niece Ursula (Trainer) Frank. He matriculated together with his brother Leonhard in the winter semester 1475/76 at the University of Ingolstadt and was married to Ursula, née Fugger. He had been licentiatus in utroque iure since 1492 and appears as tabellio consistorii ecclesie Ratisponensis and scriba iuratus of the cathedral chapter court. In a notarial instrument from the Old Chapel from 1496, a Wolfgang Portner is described as a licentiate and canon. He died on 15th August 1518.
Below, two much later members of the Portner family: Peter ( – 1660) and his wife Susanna Kershner (1603-1678). He was still representing the family interests on the Regensburg city council some two hundred years after the members of the family mentioned here.
Below, the Leidersdorf Hammer Mill belonged in the 12th century to the Ensdorf Abbey which later sold it in 1498 to the Portner brothers: Wolf, Linhard, Peter, and Hans Portner, whose descendants mostly called themselves “von Leidersdorf”.
PROBST
Marchart Eisenmanger >> Lienhart (auf Tunau) == N. N. Vessler >> Martin I Probst the Elder === Anna Tundorffer >> Martin II Probst the Younger, (ca. 1370 – ca. 1457) == Anna im Hirss >> Ursula Probst == ERASMUS TRAINER
An early member of the family was named Marquart der Eisenmanger, whose descendants distinguished themselves from this earlier generation by taking, as part of their name, the neighborhood in which they lived “auf Tunau” to become “Marchart auf Tunau” and eventually “Probst auf Tunau”.
In 1318 he became municipal bridge master. In the same year, the abbess of Niedermünster gave him a “Hofstatt auf Donau”, after which he later named himself. His seal inscription from 1330 is still Marchart Eisenmanger. Witnesses of the awarding of the Hofstatt were, among others, two iron mongers and a citizen who had immigrated from Amberg, which makes his descent from Amberg, the main town of Bavarian iron mining, very likely.
As early as 1324, Marchart, as an Eisenmanger, was also a member of the Hanseatic League, and was included on the city council, to which he belonged until his death in 1342, in 1333 as city treasurer, in 1340 as steward. In 1329 he is attested as bridge master. This rapid entry into the city’s official system is certainly due not least to the fortune that Marchart acquired in the iron and wine trade and later in moneylending. In 1330 his name is found in the Munich city accounts. In 1339 he had invested money in the dowry of the Regensburg municipal chamber, in 1340 the city of Regensburg owed him and his son Lienhart (auf Tunau) no less than 440 Pf. R.d. During the overthrow of the Auer in 1330, he sided with the Auer family, which earned him the important post of city treasurer.
Marchart offers apt proof of the possibility of rapid advancement into the council patriciate due to being in a strong economic position.
Marchart’s son Lienhart Probst 1345 and 47 councillor, also named as episcopal customs judge, 1348. In 1352 he purchased the episcopal provost court first for 18, then 20 years. Since when, the family became known as “Provost auf Tunau”. After Lienhart’s death, the bishop sold the provost’s court in 1371 for 12 years to his son Ulrich Probst.
Lienhardt / Lienhart married NN Vessler the daughter of Rüger Vessler. Ruger’s son Diepold increased the family’s reputation through his commercial activities. In 1363, for example, he had the jewels of the Duchess Margarethe of Bavaria in pledge. However, other sources claim that Lienhart’s wife was Kathrey Irmgart Zant the daughter of Heinrich Zant.
Leinhart had at least two sons: Ulrich and Martin.
Martin the elder Probst was born between 1342 and 45, and died in 1415. In 1371 he renewed the family’s ‘lease’ on the provost’s court for a further 10 years. In 1383 and 1395 he is listed as a probation judge. In 1395 he combined the office of probation judge with the office of mayor. In 1378 he owned a brewing office. There is a complete lack of evidence of commercial activity. Martin married Anna Tundorffer whose sister Kunigunde married Martin’s brother Ulrich (1363). They were the daughters of Stephan Tundorffer and Osanna Auf Tunau.
Unlike his father, Martin Probst the Younger, (ca. 1370 – 1453 / 57), engaged in long-distance trading out of Regensburg. His house was in Auerstrasse. He was a Councilman in 1415 and 1423, Hansgraf, Aechter (broker?), and bridge master. Sometime after1400 he married Anna in Hirss. She was a daughter of Jörg im Hirs and Anna, née Sitauer.
The daughter of Martin and Anna (im Hirss) Probst was:
Ursula Probst, born around 1395 / 1400, was the first wife of ERASMUS TRAINER. She died in 1448. She was the mother of HANS TRAINER.
PRUNNHOFER
Konrad Prunnhofer >> Rüger Prunnhofer == Margarethe Symon >> Elspet Prunnhofer == Albrecht I Sterner (ca. 1335 – ca. 1355) >> Albrecht II Sterner (ca.1350 – 1412) == Dorothea Ingolstetter / Ingolstätter >> Barbara Sterner (1400 – 1466) == Peter Portner >> Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) == Hans Trainer (1430 – 1507) >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) == Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576)
The direct ancestors to the Trainers was Elspet Prunnhofer who married Albrecht I Sterner the Elder (see Sterner).
Her father was Rüger Prunnhofer, born around 1295 or before 1300, and her mother was Margarethe Symon. His brothers were: Friedrich and Stephan.
Rüger was a member of the Hanseatic Council of French Wine to Bohemia. As a long-distance trader, he traveled to Prague in 1351 on behalf of the Hanseatic League. Unlike his brothers Friedrich and Stephan, he did not take part in the second Auer conspiracy in July 1330. In 1338 and 1342 he was a community representative, in 1345 “Named”, 1340/41 a member of the Hanseatic Council, in 1330, 31, 38, 40, 41, 42 and 45 he was on the council lists.
In 1353 Rüger did not like a council decision (about a fee), and so he tried to rally the community against this decision, but this failed and so he resigned his civil rights. Nonetheless, the council imposed on him the punishment that he should not sit on any council for 10 years, neither on the city council nor on the Hanseatic Council and should go without a knife and sword.
The father of Ruger, Friedrich, and Stephan was Konrad Prunnhofer born around in 1255 and who died on 16.12.1331.
Konrad was a long-distance trader, mostly in the company of Konrad Löbel. In the Tyrol-Bohemia trade he is documented in Tyrol in 1307/09. In 1321 and 1324 in Prague. In 1331 he received a share of money from Bohemia. In the years 1321, 1325, 1329, and 1330 he repeatedly borrowed money from the Regensburg merchants in the name of the mayor Ortlieb Gumprecht and the Hansgraf Konrad Prunnhofer (himself) to secure the trade routes.
Konrad Prunnhofer was a main opponent of the Auer, to whom he had to swear feud with his sons after the overthrow in April 1330. In the council lists he appears in 1314, 1321, 1329, 1330, and 1331. “Named” in council 1314, 1321, 1329; Councilman 1315 to 1328, Hansgraf 1325.
VON SARCHING
Hermann von Sarching == Elizabeth Thor >> Salome von Sarching == Wolfhard d. Ält. Erwolf Trainer >> Wolfhart the younger Trainer (1320 – ?) = Margarethe ?Zant? >> Ulrich Trainer (1355 – 1412) = Anna Nothafft Von Hetzkoven (1365? – 1426) >> Erasmus Trainer (1400 – 1481) == Ursula Probst (1409 – 1448) >> Hans Trainer (1430 – 1507) == Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) == Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576) >> Oswald Hilliger (1550 – 1610)
The Sarching were an old, wealthy family of the imperial city of Regensburg, caretakers to Donaustauf.
One of the earliest Trainer marriages was between Salome von Sarching who married Wolfhart d. Ält. Erwolf Trainer around 1320.
Salome’s father appears to have been Hermann von Sarching, born around 1270, who had married Elisabeth Thor (died 1395). He was one of the last males of this family although at Regensburg cathedral a later male named Gamerit von Sarching, who married Margret Woller, is also buried there. (see Woller)
This later von Sarching, Gamerit, was a townsman from 1372 to 1393 and city treasurer in 1384. From 1377 he was the caretaker of Donaustauf (district of Regensburg). In 1393 he made possible the construction of the western portal to the city by donating 200 pounds of Regensburg pfennigs.
He also bequeathed goods and possessions to the St. Annen and Leonhard altar for his ancestors and his family and thus acquired the right to be buried in the cathedral. Gamerit had the lordship of Hohenburg (District Amberg-Sulzbach/Opf.) as a pledge from the diocese, which then passed to Konrad von Ehrenfels in 1392. His wife Elisabeth was born Torer von Eurasberg.
Gamerit was involved in the so-called Auer uprising and had to leave the city together with other nobles in 1334. He returned in 1361. The family’s town residence was the former Gumprecht haus (later Bernhard snuff factory) on Gesandtenstrasse. Coat of Arms: Two torches with leaping red flames in gold; the same on the helmet embroidered in a circle with linden branches. Covers: red/gold
One of the inscriptions on the grave slab below is most likely about Margaret, daughter of Otto Woller on the Haid. Her first marriage was to Konrad dem Setzer and her second marriage was to Gamerit von Sarching, with whom she had a daughter Margret. The Woller family, as with the Sarching family, is connected to the Trainer family in a number of ways (see below).
The family of Gamerit (Gamered) von Särching (Sarching) established itself at Sarching which today is a district of the municipality of Barbing in the district of Regensburg. On the northern edge of the village lies the Rinsen, an oxbow river of the Danube. Ulrich von Sarching was canon in 1312 and dean of Regensburg in 1317. Berthold Gamerit von Sarching in 1331 and Leutwin Gamerit were canons of Regensburg a few years later.
Leutwin Gamerit especially adored Princess Aurelia, daughter of Hugo Capet, the first King of the Franks who fled from her parents, disguised as a pilgrim, in order to escape an arranged marriage. She accepted the life of a solitary and entered St. Emmeram’s Abbey near Regensburg, where she remained for about fifty-two years praying and fasting until she died in 1372. Leutwin Sarching built an elaborate grave for her at St. Emmeram (partly shown below).
The Sarching family funded the building of the west portal of the cathedral in Regensburg as well a cathedral window and a keystone in the Dorotheenkapelle which shows the coat of arms of the Sarchings. The family appears to have died out in 1395, unless you count the descendants of Salome Sarching, i.e. The Three Loeck Sister.
Gamerit Sarching’s daughter Margret married Konrad Dürrnstetter, a brother of the cathedral builder Heinrich Dürrnstetter. After Gamerit von Sarching / Soerching († 1395) died without a male heir, his son-in-law Chonrat der Dürnsteter was confirmed as the owner of Veste and the village of Särching in an arbitration process in 1403.
In 1405 it is recorded that this Konrad and his wife bequeathed their Veste Särching to the Regensburg city council after their death. Konrad was not the founder of the castle, but only the founder of a mass in Sarching for the castle chapel on March 14, 1404. In 1407 the imperial city of Regensburg comes into the possession of Sarching via Haymeram Gumprecht.
SITTAUER
Konrad (Chunrat) Sittauer / Sitauer (1280 – ca. 1349) == Elisabeth Swol / Swal >> Peter Sitauer == Auer Von Steiling / Steiliing >> Thomas Sittauer /Sitauer == Anna Ingolstetter >> Anna Sitauer == Jörg im Hirss >> Anna im Hirss / Hirhs (1380/85 – 1437) == Martin I Probst >> Walpurgis Probst >> Ursula Probst (ca. 1409 – 1448) == ERASMUS TRAINER (1400 – 1481) >> Hans Trainer (1430 – 1507) == Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) == Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576) >>>> The Three Loeck Sisters
As noted above, Ursula Probst who married ERASMUS TRAINER was the daughter of Martin I Probst auf Tunau and his wife Anna im Hirss. Anna was a daughter of Jörg im Hirss and Anna, née Sittauer. Anna Sittauer was the daughter of Thomas Sittauer and his wife Anna, née Ingolstetter. She was the daughter of Hans Ingolstetter.
As a long-distance trader, Thomas remained true to the traditional occupation, of the wine trade by trading between the Tyrol and Prague. In 1394 he is documented as a bridge master. In the state war of 1388, when Regensburg was besieged by Duke Friedrich of Bavaria, he quickly got the defenses in order and was captain of the 8 guards: “Everyone had to run to the first sound of the storm bell; only women were not allowed to be seen”. A brilliant sally under the leadership of the former mayor Steinach removed the danger and the siege. However, in the following year the beginning of the gate closure was entrusted only to respected, legal citizens.”
Thomas Sitauer, was born around 1340, and died in Regensburg between 1408/09. He married Anna Ingolstetter sometime after 1365.
Thomas’s father was Peter Sitauer, born around 1310, died after 1376. He married N.N. Auer Von Steiling / Steiliing, the sister of Erhard Auer von Steiling. (Stefling?)
In his wine trade Peter is attested as being on both on the axis of Tyrol to Prague, as well as with the sale of imported goods to the merchants of surrounding towns through documents from 1343/44 and 1347. In 1370 he concluded a partnership agreement with Hans Ingolstetter and Pepo Gumprecht for the purpose of long-distance trade. Together with Otto Woller and Stefan Tundorffer.
He had vineyards on the Breuberg from the Hochstift Donaustauf, tithes and farms near Weintin and Sülzbach. In 1371 he bought the Weiche Castle from his brother-in-law Erhard Auer von Steiliing, which he had acquired from Stefan Tundorff. He is recorded eight times in the council lists between 1340 and 70, he was councilman from 1350 to 69 and in 1362 sergeant.
In 1364 he was named on a list of honorary gifts from the monastery of St. Emmeran and in 1376 he bequeathed a 15-mark silver plaque to the Obermünster monastery for one anniversary.
Even before 1347, the Sitauers had shifted to mining, which they operated on the estates of the Bishopric. They had their houses in Scherenstraße and ‘by the brook’, where a sign (1868) reminds us of them. A coat of arms of the family was on the left side of the choir of the Minorites.
Thomas’s grandfather was Konrad (Chunrat) Sitauer, born around 1280, died after 1349. He was married to Elisabeth, the daughter of Marquart in the Swol. Konrad had a sister, Elisabeth, who is named in the second inscription below.
Konrad Sitauer is the first important member of this family, which was thereafter to have a say in the fate of the city both politically and economically for a long time. For the year 1317 he is verifiable as a Hansrat.
Konrad sat on the city council from 1351 to 1369, and in 1362 he was sergeant in the Wiltwercherwacht. In 1362 he acquired Weichs Castle (city of Regensburg) from Erhard Auer von Stefling (district Nittenau, district Schwandorf/Opf.), with whom he was related by marriage. In 1370 he founded a company for long-distance trade with Hans Ingolstetter and Leopold Gumprecht. The coat of arms of the Sitauer family can be found in the window in the 3rd bay of the northern main choir of the cathedral which is dated around 1370, so that his son Peter Sitauer, can be assumed to be the probable donor.
Together with his brother Heinrich, Konrad is mentioned as early as 1302. Professionally, he mainly traded in wine on the Tyrol-Bohemia route, but also found himself at the Frankfurt Fair in 1342. The full lists of the council record him there since 1312. In 1317 he sat on the Hanseatic Committee. In 1338 Konrad Sitauer and Friedrich Hiltprant, otherwise declared enemies of each other, reconciled in order to work for the old regime directed against the Auer family.
Hiltpolt von Stein, who had brought them together, wanted to carry out the overthrow of the new council in Kreuzwoche, in return for which Stein had been promised the mayoralty. However, a co-conspirator, Martin Notel, was caught and made to confess, thwarting the case. The Auer, who had often severely disturbed Regensburg trade since their expulsion from Regensburg in 1334 with raids from their castles, had found out about this and in 1339 attacked a goods train belonging to Konrad Sitauer in order to take revenge on him. In the last years of his life, Konrad himself came into violent conflict with the citizenry, feuded with the city with the support of Duke Rudolph of Bavaria, and pushed the citizenry to the point of obtaining liens.
Coat of Arms: Two crossed silver crutches in red; on the helmet with red/silver covers two wings each like a shield.
I. In the year of our Lord 1318, on the eve of the feast of St. James the Younger, Konrad Sitauer died.
II. In the year of our Lord 1317, on the eve of the feast of St. Vitus, Elisabeth, Konrad Sitauer’s sister, died.
III. In the year of the Lord 1337, on the 5th day before the calends of June, Elizabeth daughter of Marquard in the Swol died. [The wife of Konrad Sitauer?]
VON STAUFF / DAUM / NEUMBURGER
Ludwig de Stouphe >> Friedrich (Fridericus) II de Stauffen / de Stoup >> Petrissa von Stauff (ca. 1220 – 1273) == Hertwig / Hartwig Daum (Pollex) >> N.N. Daum == Neumburger (ca. 1235 – 1290) >> Diemut Neumberger (ca. 1265 – 1308) == Leutwein Hiltprant >> Diemut Hiltprant == Heinrich Hartper >> Agnes or Elsbet Hartper == Konrad Ingolstetter >> Stefan Ingolstetter == Dorothea Dürnstetter (ca. 1340 – ca. 1419) >> Dorothea Ingolstetter == Albrecht II Sterner (ca.1350 – 1412) >> Barbara Sterner (1400 – 1466) == Peter Portner >> Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) == HANS TRAINER
Petrissa von Stauff was born around 1220, and died after May 12, 1273. Around 1240 she married Hertwig / Hartwig Daum (Pollex). They had a daughter N.N. Daum who married Friedrich Neumburger (ca. 1235 – 1290) and they had a daughter Diemut Neumberger (ca. 1265 – 1308) who married Leutwein Hiltprant (see Hiltprant) around 1285.
Petrissa was the daughter of Friedrich (Fridericus) II de Stauffen / de Stoup, born around 1190, and died before 1275 who is documented with his brother Gottfried in 1242 and 1263 as episcopal master chefs. Both owned a large house and some farmsteads in the old bishop’s court. When they had to return this property in 1263 at the request of Bishop Leo Tundorfer, they received “novellam vineam totam in Bachem” as a replacement.
The father of the above Friedrich II was Friedrich I von Stauff, born around 1160, first documented in 1206 “Magister Coucinae” (chef) “de Dumstauf Fridericus”; 1210 to 1245 as the Regensburg (bishop’s) cellar (Cellerarius).
Ludwig de Stouphe, born in (Regensburg) around 1125/30, documented mention 1156/87 in the office of episcopal master chef. He was the father of the above Friedrich I. It is assumed that Ludwig’s father was Fried de Stouphe, born around 1100, In 1150 he was an episcopal trial magistrate in Regensburg.
The name Stauffer von Thunstauf (= Donaustauf) is also common for this family. In Regensburg they owned a free house, the “Staufferhof”, in which the inn “zum Grünen Kranz” was located in 1869. At the beginning of the 16th century, the von Stauffs were among the most zealous promoters of the new teaching of Martin Luther.
Coat of Arms: Shared by silver and blue; on the crowned helmet a silver pointy hat with a blue cap, three blue feathers on top.
Much later members of this family included: Dietrich I von Stauf who had the sons: Wilhelm, Ulrich, Heinrich, and Albert (later bishop Albert III).
The Staufer von Staufenberg family began calling themselves Staufer von Ehrenfels beginning in 1364, after they had received a share in the Ehrenfels’ Castle near Beratzhausen (district Neumarkt/Opf.) as a fief from a high foundation. Together with the then canon and later bishop Albert, the two brothers Ulrich and Heinrich donated the altar of St. Florinus and Laurentius and endowed it richly. Albert, Ulrich and Heinrich were buried in front of this altar. A dedicated chaplain held the masses and prayed for the salvation of the souls of the deceased. In 1387 Heinrich was a nurse in Altmannstein (district of Eichstätt/OB.) and in 1399 a judge in Abensberg (district of Kelheim/NB.).
Much later, one of the more famous members of the Von Stauff family was Argula von Stauff (1490 – c. 1564):
IN DEM SWOL / SWAL
Marquard in dem Swol == Elizabeth N.N. >> Elisabeth Swol / Swal == Konrad (Chunrat) Sittauer / Sitauer (1280 – ca. 1349) == >> Peter Sitauer == Auer Von Steiling / Steiliing >> (see Sitauer)
The family of ‘in dem Swol / Swal’, presumably active in long-distance trade, came into power for the first time with Marquart / Marquard in 1307. His son Gottfried was a member of the Hanseatic League in 1317 and a representative of the merchant community in 1333 and was involved in the Auer uprising. His name and that of his family was last found in the lists of names in 1345. His wife was named Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Swol was the daughter of Marquard in the Swol and the wife of Konrad Sitauer. (See Sitauer)
A grave slab at Regensburg cathedral refers to three individuals and reads: (I) In the year of the Lord 1335, on the eve of the feast of St. George, Elisabeth, the wife of Gotfried died in dem Swal. (II) In the year of our Lord 1374, Elisabeth, the wife of Ulrich Pilmann, died. (III) Gottfried Helmschmid the Younger died in the year of our Lord 1357 on the feast of St. John in front of the Porta Latina.
The Elisabeth named in the second inscription, married to Ulrich Hiltprant, was probably a daughter of Gotfried and Elizabeth de Swol. The Gottfried Helmschmid named in the third inscription is not known.
THUNDOFFER / TUNDORFFER
Heinrich Tundorffer == Cecilie Gumprecht >> Stephan Tundorffer (1339 – 1380) == 1) Osanna Auf Tunau (1315 – 1369) II) Anna Dürnstetter >> Anna Tundorffer == Martin I Probst the Elder >> Martin II Probst the Younger (ca. 1370 – ca. 1457) == Anna im Hirss >> Ursula Probst == ERASMUS TRAINER
This family, which in the 13th century already had a bishop in Regensburg – Leo Tundorffer (1262 – 1277), although, in the course of the conflict between bishop and pope, Bishop Leo was excommunicated. The three Loeck Sisters’ direct ancestor is Heinrich Tundorffer who had married Cecilie, the daughter of Gumprecht’s at the Haid.
Bishop Tundorffer is regarded as the Bishop who started the construction of the Gothic cathedral.
The climax of the family was in the 14th century when it was engaged in long-distance trade including wine and cloth, in Regensburg.
Heinrich Thundorfer (? – 1344) – together with his son Gumprecht – the name of course was in reference to his wife’s family — was accepted into the Regensburg civic household association. Heinrich Thundorfer frequently appeared in documents. He worked in commerce, and for the Hanseatic League, lent money, held royal, ducal and episcopal offices as pledges and was involved in city consultations. His son Gumprecht on the other hand, is hardly ever mentioned in documents. Although he did receive, along with his maternal cousins in the form of Gumprecht and Erhard Auer, a dowry from St. Kassianshof thanks to Bishop of Augsburg
The brother of Heinrich Thundorfer, Chunrad Thundorfer an der Haid (1314 bis 1348) was a wholesaler and for over two and a half decades a city councilor again and again. For the city he was also named, chamberlain and worked as a Treasury tax collector.
Heinrich’s second son, Stephan Tundorffer (1339 – 1380), was probably the richest member of the family. In addition to the wine trade and many years of economic activity in Herzogshof, the pledge of princely offices played a special role for him. From 1359 to 1366 he was a Jewish judge, and from Margrave Ludwig of Brandenburger he received the salt and iron duties, and several Wittelsbachers owed him large sums of money. He sat on the council from 1352 to 1380, he was also a sergeant, Tax collector and carer of the St. Niclaus leper house.
Stephan / Steffen married twice I. Osanna Auf Tunau (1315 – 1369) the daughter of Lautwein I and Elizabeth / Elspet (Lobel) auf Tunau, and II Anna the daughter was Friedrich Dürnstetter and Anna Graner (the daughter of Otto Graner).
Steffen had two daughters but there is disagreement as to which wife was the mother; Osanna or Anna?
One daughter, Kunigunde, married Ulrich Probst and the other daughter Anna married Martin Probst from whom the Three Loeck Sisters descend. On this page we are inclined to Osanna being the mother, given the reliability of those sources that make that claim.
TUNAU(ER)
Wernher Tunauer == N.N. >> Leutwein OR Lautwein I (auf Tunau / Tunauer) == Elspet Löbel >> Osanna Tunauer == Stephan Tundorffer (1339 – 1380) >> Anna Tundorffer == Martin I Probst >> Martin II Probst == Anna im Hirss / Hirhs (1380/85 – 1437) >> Walpurgis Probst >> Ursula Probst (1409 – 1448) == Erasmus Trainer (1400 – 1481) >>>> The Three Loeck Sisters
There were two families with the name Tunau / Tunau(er) or Auf Tunau in Regensburg, which are not always easy to distinguish. The older branch in question, also known as Super Danubio or Leutwein auf Tunau, is one of the oldest patrician families in Regensburg and can be traced back to the 11th century.
There were three Leutwein OR Lautwein (auf Tunau / Tunauer) in the same number of generations: Leutwein I was the father of Osanna Tunauer who married Stephan Tundorffer. Leutwein II was the brother of Osanna.
Osanna was the daughter of Leutwein I and Elisabeth / Elspet Löbel. Leutwein III was the son of Leutwein II, the brother of Osanna.
The daughter of Osanna Tunau and Stephan Tundorffer was Anna who married Martin I Probst. Their son, Martin II, married Anna im Hirrs and their daughter Ursula Probst married Erasmus Trainer.
Leutwein II married Ursula Tundorffer, the sister of Stephan Tundorffer. According to his grave slab Leutwein Tunauer II died on the Monday before Pentecost, i.e. on 19th May, 1371. Unlike his father, he was no longer active in trading. His will of May 16, 1371 has been handed down, in which he makes bequests to the cathedral parish of St. Ulrich and the construction of the cathedral, in addition to anniversaries, mass foundations, and donations to the needy. He left three sons: Hans, Andre, and Leutwein III.
Rectangular limestone inscription by Leutwein Tunauer the Younger:
+ ANNO ∙ D(OMI)NI ∙ M CCCo ∙ LXXI ∙ O(BIIT) ∙ LA/VTVINVS ∙ JVNIOR SVPER ∙ D/ANUBIO SECVNDA ∙ FERIA ∙ AN/TE ∙ PENTECOSTE +
Translation: In the year of our Lord 1371, on the Monday before Pentecost, Leutwein Tunauer the Younger died.
Leutwein I the Elder, the son of Wernher Tunauer, can be documented almost constantly from 1334 to 1366 in the council lists and in the most diverse municipal offices. He was also involved in the city’s money and credit business and has been listed as a member of the minting house since 1339. He last signed as a councilor in a council resolution of May 26, 1366. Martha, his wife, received 4 lb of dowry. Elspet must have died (?)
Even though he and his brothers took part in the Auer uprising and some of them fled the city, Lautwein I continued the line of the councilors on Tunau in Regensburg. From 1334 until his death in 1366 his name can be found continuously in the council lists, proof that the family had not lost its reputation. His participation in the municipal self-government is attested in the most varied of ways: 1362 sergeant, 1329, 1345 and 1360 named and in 1339 he and his son of the same name owned annuities from the city council, in 1339 he was admitted to the mint association, which required considerable paid-in capital.
Together with Konrad Dürnstetter he donated the chandeliers of St. Steffansaltar in the Ulrichskirche in Regensburg. – The name Tunau gradually disappeared from his grandchildren, which has often led to confusion with other families that used the same name as a suffix (e.g. Probst, Zant, Ingolstetter, Säss, etc.) and was replaced by the first name Lautwein.
Leutwein Tunauer I died in 1366 on the Monday after the feast of the birth of Christ [28th December]. In the year of the Lord 1369 on the day of St. Philipp and Jacob [1st May] died Mrs. Martha, the wife of Leutwein Tunauer.
However, the identity of this Martha is mysterious as the mother of Leutwein I’s children was Elspet / Elizabeth Löbel (1295 – 1348). Presumably her death twenty years before her husband’s would lead us to expect a second marriage and thus Martha as his wife.

Leutwein I’s father was Werner auf Tunau born around 1250, died between 1322 and 1324. He was a Long-distance trader in Regensburg. For him and his brother Gottfried, the long-distance trade activities of the family are first documented: both were members of the Hanseatic League in 1317, Werner a member of the Hanseatic Council in 1321, traded with Prague in the same year. He also joined the Mint House Cooperative. The brothers invested the capital gained in the trade in landed property: 1320, for example, such is pledged by the Bavarian dukes to Werner. Councilor five times between 1303 and 1321. 1314 named, so active in court life.”
Leutwien I’s grandfather was Konrat (Cunradus) super Danubio, born around 1220, like his sons, a long-distance traders in Regensburg 1251-72 named as a witness, he was consiliarius in Regensburg in 1262. In 1251 he made a donation to the city.

Perhaps like his grandchildren, Werner and Gottfried, Friedrich/ may have been a long-distance trader but he was also mayor in Regensburg in 1250/51. It is characteristic of the complete independence of the family from the bishop that Friedrich was the only non-ministerial in the mayor’s office in the 13th century and held this position at a time when the citizenry was in sharp contrast to the bishop Albert I stood.”

The Waiter and the Woller families came from the most important Regensburg trade of the High Middle Ages. At that time, the “Waier” or “Blue Dyers” formed an important branch of the respected cloth-making industry. The blue dye coming from woed. When they entered the patriciate, the Waiters no longer practiced their trade, probably not even Leopold, who was the first to appear in the documents in 1278 and was married to a sister of Gumprecht.
The married couple Katharina (Waiter) and Ulrich Woller are memorialized by a pair of windows in Regensburg cathedral that were donated by them. The so-called tabernacle window consists of two pairs of lancet windows, each with two six-row panels with head washers. In the tracery two pentagons with spandrel triangles, in the apex a quatrefoil. In the bottom line of the four panels the full coat of arms of the Waiter, Woller, Luch and Wadkadmer families, above each two monumental figures of saints in tabernacle cases.
Katharina Waiter who died in 1371, was a daughter of Leupolt and Cecilia Waiter, hence the depiction of the coat of arms of the Waiter family. Ulrich Woller who died in 1375, was the patron of the Woller house band in today’s Untere Bachgasse for many years. St. Verena, shown above the Woller coat of arms, has been the patroness of this house chapel since the early 14th century. Philippus and Jacobus were probably already particularly revered and later became the chapel patrons.
WARTENBERG[ER]
Agnes Wartenberger’s’ father was Ulrich Wartenberger the Elder, born around 1246 and died circa 1341. He was the City clerk, notary and procurator of Regensburg. His wife was Chunigunt.
On July 24, 1266, “Ulricus notarius civitatis Ratisb.” belonged to the Regensburg embassy of King Ottokar of Bohemia. On April 1, 1321, Ulrich Wartenberger was appointed by the city administration to represent them in their dispute with the Bishop of Regensburg: “Nos Ulricus Pincerne de Reichenekk magister, consules ac universitatis civium civitate Ratisb., notum facimus … quod nos doscretum virum Ulricum dictum Warttenberger nostrum et civitatis nostre’… We make Ulrich the chief magistrate of Reichenekk, consul and citizen of the state of Ratisb., we make known … that he is a learned man and is of our city.
On the same day (July 24) Ulrich submits his letter of appeal to the papal court, written in good Latin as “ego Ulricus dictus Warttenberger Procurator”. On April 2nd, 1327 he is referred to as “Ulrich the scribe” in the will of Irengard nee Hiltprant, widow Gumprecht an der Haid with a legatee of more than 3 pounds. On January 24th, 1328 he witnessed the sale of a house at the Regensburg legation in Brixen/Tyrol as “Ulrich the scribe from Regensburg”. On December 29, 1329, he was in the Stadtamtshof when Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian ordered him, among others, to observe the duty-free status of Amberg citizens. As late as January 30, 1341, he is named legatee in Caecilie Woller’s will. He must have died soon afterwards, for as already mentioned above, his wife Chunigunt is described as a widow in the next year (1342).
Their son Ulrich (1339-1353), the brother of Agnes, like his father, was city clerk of Regensburg and as such sealed the will of Seyfried von Preysing with a post covered with 3 lilies and the inscription: Signed Ul. Wartenberg II. He was apparently not only active in terms of his office, but also at the highest political level. In 1346 Ulrich the younger was married to a Margareta.
WARTENBERGER / PROBST
This branch of the Auf Tunau family, which acquired the episcopal provost court with Lienhard Probst in the middle of the 14th century, has since called itself Probst auf Tunau. Here we discuss the family of Ulrich Probst, the brother of Martin Probst.
Kunigunde, the daughter of Stephan and Osanna (Tunau) Tundorffer, and the sister of Anna who married Martin Probst, was the wife of Ulrich Probst / Propst auf Tunau / Tanau, provost of Regensburg and city treasurer.
They had six sons: Erhard, Benedikt, Hans, Ulrich, Markus, and Leonhard. Erhard and Leonhard became canons of Regensburg cathedral.
Markus Probst auf Tunau was provost from 1425 to 1442. Since 1352 the provost’s court was hereditarily pledged from the bishopric to the family Probst Auf Tunau as a dowry. During the tenure of Markus, it was sold to the city in 1441 without the bishop’s consent, but with the consent of his brothers, the canons Leonhard and Erhard auf Tunau.
Leonhard Propst auf Tunau was elected canon in 1410. As a Regensburg canon, he was enrolled at the University of Heidelberg, but apparently had not obtained an academic degree there. The inscription around his grave slab shown below reads:
In the year of our Lord 1453 died the venerable man, Herr Leonhard Propst auf Tunau, Senior Canon of the Regensburg Church. May his soul rest in peace.
WEINTINGER / REICH / NÖTZEL / LÖSEL
Friedrich Weintinger ( ? – 1304) >> Kunnigunde Weintinger == Hermann von Reich >> Agnes von Reich == Bernold Nötzel >> Agnes Nötzel == Liebhard Lösel >> Anna Lösel == Hans Portner >> Peter I Portner == Anna Magdalena Schrenk von Notzing >> Peter II Portner == Barbara Sterner (1400 – 1466) >> Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) == HANS TRAINER >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) == Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576) >>>>> The Three Loeck Sisters
The family died in the male line with a Friedrich Weintinger in 1354. An earlier Friedrich (died 9th March 1304) had his own chapel and crypt built on the left side of the choir of the Minorite Church for himself and his family (Weintinger chapel in honorem Mariae majoris). Before 1870, when the chapel was used for other purposes, the magnificent tombstones came to the National Museum in Munich. Today’s Kalmünzergasse in Regensburg used to be called “Weintingerstraße” after the seat of the family. The coat of arms of the Weintinger is located on a buttress on the north-east corner of the Minorite nave. Another Weintinger coat of arms can be found on the outside wall of the choir of the church. Coat of Arms: Two silver wheel rims turned away in red.
Kunnigunde’s father Friedrich sat on the council in 1290, 1293, and 1295. In 1294, together with Heinrich Karg and Berchtold Lautwein (on Tunau), he received building land on the Nunport to the east from the Niedermünster monastery as a fief. He was one of the financially strongest personalities on the council around the turn of the century. With Gebhard Opkofer he established a trading company (known as a societas), which received several payments from Duke Ludwig of Bavaria in 1291/1293, in 1293 an annual payment of 100 Pf. R.d. was received from the Niederaltaich Monastery and in 1295 for 200 Pf.
In 1294 the company received the pound duty from Regensburg as a pledge. In addition to these money transactions, the societas was also active in the long-distance trade in cloth. Friedrich Weintinger invested the excess capital he acquired in property in and around Regensburg, which after his death passed on his sons Leo and Friedrich the Younger. This generation then proceeded to trade in goods.
Kunnigudne Weintinger married Herman Reich who was Long-distance trader in Regensburg and they had a daughter, Agnes. With his two brothers and his uncle Gottfried, Herman Reich formed a business partnership that grew in size and importance, so that in the second half of the 14th century the von Reichs became one of the richest families of the Regensburg patriciate. In 1339 they received several pledges from the Bavarian dukes, and they acquired personal belongings from the municipal chamber. In 1340 the bishop of Regensburg gave them his friedhof and chamber office for 10 years. Together they reminded the Burgrave Friedrich of Nuremberg of a debt. In 1342 they had 600 pounds R.d. accounts receivable. After Hermann’s death, Friedrich Mautner von Berghausen, as executor of the will, paid 4,270 pounds R.d. to the other business partners. One of Herman Reich’s brothers may have been Mattias (died 1366) whose wife Katharina died in 1357. Her grave slab is shown below:
Around 1316, Agnes Reich married Bernold Nötzel and they had a daughter, Agnes. He was chamberlain of Niedermünster in 1311, sergeant in 1307, councilman in Regensburg in 1333. He was a long-distance trader, especially in the west-east line, he issued a debt certificate to a woman in Ypres (Flanders) in 1322, in 1324 he had trading relations with a Hugo von Dornik (Tournay). He and numerous other Nötzel family members took part in the Auer uprising.
Their daughter Agnes married Liebhard Lösel, born between 1290/1300 and died after 1355. In 1340/42 he was a member of the city council; 1330 farms in Traubling from Obermünster monastery in fief; in 1342 he gives to the city of Regensburg pf. R.d.; in 1339 in the city register of personal belongings; in 1335 the city of Munich owes Lösel 152 1/2 pf. R.d.; in 1333 he represented the merchant community in the chamber accounts. His executors were the very wealthy patricians Gottfried Reich and Konrad Dürnstetter.
WOLLER

Hiltprant >> Margaretha Woller == Heinrich Portner >> Peter Portner == Barbara Sterner (1400 – 1466) == Walpurgis Portner (ca. 1435 – 1480/85) == HANS TRAINER >> Paul Trainer (1472 – 1552) == Magdalena Alnpeck >> Catharine Trainer (1516 – 1583) == Wolfgang Hilliger (1511 – 1576) >>>>> The Three Loeck Sisters
The Woller, along with the Waiter and Goldsmit, are the only families in Regensburg whose name makes it seem possible for them to have risen from the ranks of craftsmen to the Council Patriziate. However, they are already represented in the first existing council list in 1258, while the other two only appear in the city council after 1300. If they used to be craftsmen, they no longer practiced their trade as councillors, but invested the small fortune that they had acquired as craftsmen in ducal or episcopal brewing offices and in landed property. The Woller family had, since the end of the 13th century, their residence in Achkirchstraße, today’s Untere Bachgasse, where the Verena chapel was also located.
The Woller family starts with Heinrich Woller, (ca. 1200 – after 1251). In 1251, together with his sons Ulrich I and Otto I, he received a fief from the dean and chapter of the “old chapel” in Regensburg.
Ulrich I and Otto I were the sons of Heinrich and Johanna (N.N.) Woller.
Otto I married Matz Hiltprant (1270 – 1341) the sister of Otto’s brother’s wife Offmey Hiltprant. Offmey and Matz were also the sisters of Leukart Hiltprant (oo Löbel) and Irmgart Hiltprant (oo Gumprecht). Otto I and Matz do not appear to have had children. Otto I may have died around 1360.
Ulrich I the Elder Woller, the brother of Otto I, was born between 1225/30, and died after 1287. He married Offmey Hiltprant. Thus, the two Woller brothers married two Hilprant sisters. Offmey was Ulrich I’s second wife; who his first wife was is not known. For many years Ulrich I was a councilor and chamberlain, and in 1262 he was also a consiliarius in Regensburg.
At first, together with his brother Otto I, he showed strong efforts to acquire land. As early as 1251, they and their father Heinrich Woller had been given a house in Regensburg by the dean and chapter, in 1260 they received farmsteads in Regensburg as dowry from the bishop of Passau, and in 1270 they received further goods from Bavaria. As late as 1290, several estates in Regensburg belonging to the Metten monastery came into the Woller’s hands. Ulrich represented the knights, minters and brewers in the “Lichtenbergische Sched” in 1281, especially the brewers. In the council lists he appears in 1251, 60, 81, 87, so he must have died after 1287, or at least after the birth of his son around 1290. Ulrich I had two sons: Otto II and Ulrich II. Their sister was Luzia Woller, the wife of Steffan Ingolstetter.
Otto II the Younger was born around 1285/90 and he died on 25th May 1377. In 1329, only out of necessity, he confessed to the Auer uprising, but in 1333 he was the soul of the counter-movement. In the council lists he appears in 1329, 1332, 1333, 1340, 1341, 1351, 1354, 1357, and 1371. In 1353 Otto II was sent to Emperor Charles IV as an envoy of the council. In 1359 he was mayor and judge in Regensburg after the Zant had lost the office of mayor and the office had reverted to the council. Otto II was mayor in Regensburg 1362/63 and city treasurer in the years 1364 and 1367. Otto married a member of his mother’s Hildprant family although her first name is not known. However, the Deutsche Inschriften online claims that Otto II was married to Elena, née Wenche whereas Dr. Rotger Michael Snethlage claims that Otto II’s wife was NN Hiltprant.
Margarethe Woller, the daughter of Otto II Woller the Younger and NN Hiltprant, was born 1320/21 and died after 1358. She married 1345/50 Heinrich Portner and their great granddaughter, Walpurgis Portner, married Hans Trainer.
Ulrich II was the brother of Otto II. He married Katarina (died in 1371), the daughter of Leopold / Leupolt Waiter and his wife Cecilia. Katrina was the widow Ulrich Gainchofer. Ulrich II, who died in 1375, was the patron of the Woller house band in today’s Untere Bachgasse for many years. St. Verena, shown above the Woller coat of arms, has been the patroness of this house chapel since the early 14th century. Since the couple remained childless, Ulrich II made Otto II as the main heir in his will of February 16, 1375.
LUZIA WOLLER
Luzia was the sister of Ulrich II and Otto II Woller. Her first husband, Konrad Von Pruck, citizen of Regensburg, was a member of the community in the years 1351, 1352 and from 1355 to 1357. He is frequently mentioned in sales matters and as a witness, sealer, and executor. On October 19, 1357, he wrote his will, in which he donated 33 pounds for burial and pastoral masses and 10 pounds for the construction of the cathedral.
On August 21, 1364 Luzia wrote her will, in which she gave two pounds for the construction of the cathedral and four pounds for thirty perpetual masses daily until her “thirtieth”. She makes bequests to her son from her first marriage, Hans Von Prucker, and her children from her second marriage to Stephan Ingolstetter:
The above inscription reads:
I. Konrad Vorpruck died in the year of our Lord 1357 on the feast of eleven thousand virgins.
II. In the year of the Lord 1364 on the feast of St. Felix and Audactus died Mrs. Lucia, the wife of Stephan Ingolstetter.
III. In the year of the Lord 1381 on Saturday, the next day after All Saints’ Day, Stephan, called the Ingolstetter, the son of Stephan Ingolstetter the Elder, died.
IV. Dorothea Ingolstetter died in the year of the Lord 1412 on All Souls’ Day.
The Stephan Ingolstetter mentioned in the third inscription is the son of Luzia and Stephan Ingolstetter senior, who died young. As noted, he is named in Luzia Ingolstetter’s will. Furthermore, one finds him as an heir in the will of his uncle Ulrich Woller from the year 1375, and further in the year 1377 on the occasion of a sale of personal belongings and in the year 1378 in an inheritance settlement.
Katarina was the daughter of Leopold Waiter and his wife Cecilia. In the first marriage Katarina was married to Ulrich Gainchofer, in the second marriage to Ulrich II Woller the Younger. She is first mentioned in the will of her sister-in-law Luzia (Woller) Ingolstetter from the year 1364. A document by Ulrich Woller dated November 13, 1371 confirms that his deceased wife Katarina left him two vineyards in Oberndorf, the yields of which he was able to use during his lifetime. After his death, however, the vineyards were to go to the Verena chapel, the family chapel, from which four anniversaries were to be allocated, in which, among other things, Katharina was to be commemorated.
Katharina and Ulrich Woller also donated two parts of a four-part lancet window in the southern aisle of the cathedral in the 4th bay on which the coats of arms of the Woller and Waiter families, St. Verena, the patroness of their house chapel, and Philip and James, who are particularly revered here, are shown. The donation of this window made the burial place in the cathedral cloister possible.
Above, Coat of arms grave slab of Katharina (Waiter) Woller made of red marble, embedded in the ground. The inscription reads: In the year of the Lord 1371, on the eve of the Feast of the Purification of Mary, Mrs. Katarina, Ulrich Woller’s wife, died.
The inscription reads: In the year of our Lord 1375, Ulrich, known as Woller, died the day after the feast of the Blessed Virgin. In the year of our Lord 1377, Mr. Otto, known as Woller, died on the day of St. Urban.
MARGRET WOLLER
Otto Woller an der Haid had a daughter Margret. Her first marriage was to Konrad dem Setzer and her second marriage to Gamerit von Sarching, with whom she had a daughter Margret. (See Sarching)
ZANT

Elspet Zant (died after 1374), was the daughter of the mayor of Regensburg and chamberlain of Niedermünster Albrecht the Elder and she was the wife of Heinrich Dürnstetter the Younger. Because her father married four times, it is not so easy to conclude who Elspet’s mother was but it was either Christine Maeller or Christine Steinkirchner.
Her father, Albrecht the Elder Zant, * Regensburg …, died between 4.6.1359 and 19.8.1359.
After the death of his father Konrad, Albrecht and his brothers Stephan and Heinrich shared their father’s inheritance and traded in money and goods in the long-distance trading company Gumprecht-Zant-Gemlinger-Straubinger, which existed as early as 1302 and with which their father Konrad had already worked.
The administration of the mayor’s office by the 3 brothers is particularly remarkable. One after the other they occupied this judicial position: Albrecht as early as 1319/20, Heinrich 1320/26, Albrecht and Stephan 1326, Stephan 1327/28 and 1330/35, Albrecht finally again in 1335 until his death in 1359.
As mayor, Albrecht was also chairman of the citizenship Parish and joint council meetings. Albrecht and Stephan found themselves as judges in 1329 at the head of those named together with their cousin Heinrich Zant “auf der Donau”, who had already been named in 1321. All three brothers joined the Auer uprising in 1330 and 1333, probably more under duress. The position of the three brothers, however, was scarcely affected by the ebb and flow of those years; all three can be found in the first document drawn up by the new city council in autumn 1334. Heinrich and Stephan, who was married to a Hiltprant, must have died soon after.
Albrecht is documented on July 25, 1351 as the owner of the chapel in St. Pankratz with a chaplain of its own, further on January 7, 1352 as chamberlain in Niedermünster. As such, he gave his clan, including his son-in-law Heinrich Dürnstetter, (his daughter Elspet’s husband) a farm “under the old Haymen’s house in Walschen Straße” (=inter Latinos) in Leibgeding. The fief probably belonged to the monastery.
On January 25, 1356, Albrecht Zant is a co-sealer in the will of Gottfried Reich, his “unfortunate friend”. He is also documented as the holder of the mint master’s office. Albrecht was married four times, successively to: 1. Maeller (1300), 2. Steinkirchner, 3. Holzheimer and 4. Loebel.
In his will, he had bequeathed the mayor’s office, court and chamber office to his wife Offmey, née Loebel, and his daughter Offmey from his second marriage, who was married to Albrecht in der Grueb in 1352, while his son from his first marriage, Albrecht d. young Zant, rebelled.
In the course of the negotiations, he broke the friendship with the council in a public meeting. The brother (probably cousin) of the deceased, Heinrich Zant, refused to sit in judgment on him, left the town, and the council secretly agreed not to let any of their members marry into the Zant family on penalty of £100. Otto Woller was to take the place of Heinrich Zant in the case of the citizens against Albrecht the Younger. Woller received the blood ban from the duke and immediately brought a stag from him, which was feasted on in a large assembly of the council and council women.
The matter of the “Schultheissenamt” was awarded to the widow Offmey Zant on August 20, 1359 by judgment and right, after which she transferred this right to the council.
A year later, on October 22, 1360, Offmey, who was by then the widow of Albrecht d. elder Zant and who had no children, was already remarried, to the councilor Albrecht Watkadmer. Otto Woller, who died in 1360, was followed as mayor, by Ludwig Straubinger (+ 1361), then by Otto Woller’s son Otto II who for two years was administrator of the mayor’s office. Meanwhile, the Zant family fought the city from outside with some success, along with the Reich.
********************************
Just about every family named above is a direct ancestor family of The Three Loeck Sisters. Below, is mention of a family that is not a direct ancestral family – The Frank Family.
Wilhelm Frank
His father was Albrecht Frank and his mother was Barbara Theuerl von Sulzbach of Albrechtand Of Barbara and Albert’s children, we know more about the son Wilhelm Frank than the others. He inherited the hammer works from his father Heringnohe (City of Vilseck) and Ettmannsdorf, plus the iron ore mines near Sulzbach and various farms and mercenaries. In Wilhelm Frank we encounter a representative of the flourishing Upper Palatinate iron industry of the late Middle Ages. He made every effort to obtain the best possible return on his hammer mills by creating an economic network that, included mining the area around Sulzbach, buying land, houses, farms and estates that increased his inheritance significantly. But William Frank wasn’t just a landowner, he worked also as an iron wholesaler and derived from that a very significant fortune.
In 1461 Wilhelm married Ursula, the daughter of the Erasmus Trainer, citizen of Regensburg, and there Wilhelm himself in the same year also became a citizen. He is found from 1484-1490 as a councilman. From the marriage, five children were born. He provided for each of his daughters a large sum of money as a dowry. To his son Hans he left the iron mines at Sulzbach and his iron trade, as well as the administration of the hammer Heringnohe.
Hans acquired citizenship in Sulzbach and married Dorothea, the daughter of Sigmund Löneysen von Weihersberg. In 1483, the daughter Elisabeth Frank married Hans Schmidmair, a wholesaler in Nuremberg. Another daughter, Ursula, married Lienhard Portner in 1491. Another daughter, Anna married Hans Schwäbl in 1496. He was a Patrician and member of the inner council of Regensburg. Another daughter Barbara married Michael Portner (see chart).
Wilhelm Franck died in 1517 and soon after his death so too his daughter Elisabeth Schmidmair and his sons-in-law: Hans Schmidmair, Lienhard Portner, and Hans Schwäbl. In a will dated 21 March 1516 he distributed his possessions and his great fortune.
