At the end of January 1485, his son Hans appeared as the sole heir of the
Schwazer Company. Since 1500, however, he disappeared from the list of traders. Around 1503 he was in possession
of the Rubein Castle [ now Castel Rubein, still existing today in the Maia Alta neighborhood of Merano, just south of
the downtown. You can see it online at its own website, http://rubein.com/en-us ] near Meran, but he was unable to
keep his possessions as a result of the terrible financial difficulties in which he had in the meantime fallen. By 1520
he was already dead. Hermann Grünhofer's widow, Katharina, was still detected for several years after his death in
Meran, where she lived in her house in the hollow [ on Passeiergasse, now Vicolo Passiria, the alley named after the
Passeiertal, now Val Passiria, the valley north of Merano ] below [ the ] Ortenstein [ now the Pulverturm, German for
“Powder Tower”, the only surviving part of the castle, built in 1313 by the Counts of G.rz-Tyrol ] in the Steinach [
neighborhood, the original Meran ] but sold it around 1487. Hermann’s brother Pranz also worked as a coinmaker in
Hall in 1486. In 1488 he returned to Meran, where he was the husband of Margareta, the heiress of the rich Heinrich
Greu.haber, wealthy, and remained there until his death in 1498.

Notes:

1495 mint master in Meran, records 1496 with Hans Kraus, goldsmith

In 1477 the mint in Tyrol was moved to Hall, Austria. Eventually, I suspect he moved to Nuremberg and became involved in the minting of money.

The Tiruler Geldwesen under Archduke Sigmond.

II. Carrying out the personal details of the new coin of Hall, they consist at first of a mintmaster, as supreme head of the whole, a board member of the department for the gold coinage and a mint writer. These persons are listed on the invoice as salaried and thus hold the position of civil servants. In contrast, the iron engraver, the tempter, the mover, the silver burner, the potkeeper, and Weissbrenner, as well as the journeymen, receive a reward from the journeymen of silver and gold coins. However, in the lifetime of the first coin-master Hermann Grünhofer, there was a transitional relationship ending with his death.

Grünhofer is called from the beginning of the Haller coin as their mint master. Since he had been appointed as coinmaster of the Merano coin after Luke Kuchenmann's copy of Duke Sigmund's deed of 1473, it is probable that he was transferred from there directly to Hall. His connection with Merano also recalls that, according to several book entries, he still received silver from Meran in 1478, which he had still bought there himself. It is noteworthy, however, that the paragraph "Münzmeister seine Sold" remains open during Grünhofer's lifetime. It is clear from this that Grünhofer did not in fact receive any salary in Hall; rather, his income from this position consisted in the profits of the business of the coin. The clearance of the accounts states in each case that the surplus forms a demand of the archduke to the master of the mint or vice versa.
_____________________________________________________________________________ Certificate, the Schwazer fire in the six and cruisers with 15 Lot, in the Fieren but with 14 ½ Lot is set. Also in the year 1513 notes the F. M.: Silver Schwazer brand holds the mark fine 14 1/3 Lot. Ladurner 307. My guess is that everywhere in the manuscripts the Schwazer Brand with ?iiii? (14 ½) Lot was given fine, which then spilter erroneously for ?iiii? (15) has been read. In this way the Schwazer fire is described in a document of King Maximilian of 1496. For us the matter is of no great importance, since all redeemed silver was burned before the coinage again, because it brittleness because of the delivered condition for currency unsuitable would.

Also, the board of the gold coinage, Bernhard Beheim, does not receive a pay in this time. He receives the necessary gold and silver and the other material from the hands of the Master of the Mint. At the same time, he also provides the place of the tempter of the silver coin, for which, however, he draws his wages bar 51). He is also referred to in the calculations as Bernhard (the) goldsmith or simply as Master Berhard.52)

Grünhofer resigns in the summer of 1482 and is succeeded by Bernhard Beheim in office with a Münzmeistersold of 200 marks, which he refers to Monday after Nativitatis Mariae this year.53) Grünhofers inheritance is for his "Remincnz", this is his demand on the Archduke from the holdings of 1481 and 1482 in the amount of 714 fl. Rh. 1 Pf. 6 Kr. 3 P. recognized. (Entry 1482 in "Aintzige Kostung".) The current ingestion of the coin until its death is calculated at 43,076 fl. Rh. 4 Pf. 10 K. 1 F. 1 P. the excavation, in addition to above reminiscence, on 42.322 fl. Rh. 3 Pf. 6 Kr. 3 P. Bestat the inheritance (as debtor) 754 fl. Rh. 1 Pf. 3 K. 1 F. 2P. of which is still brought to an end for taking over the Grünhofer coins and other utensils
Page 71
from 45 fl. Rh. 2 Pf. 6 Kr. 2 F. 2-1 / 2 P. The position of Grünhofer on the Haller coin was thus still a middle ground between an official and a coin tenant, which also finds a significant expression in this that Grünhofer appears as a silver supplier for his own account in Hall not insignificant involved. A certain quantity of the silver which he has brought into the coin is called "granted to him" in the Haller bills, that is free of deduction of the sweetheart and this allowance was thought to have paid in particular for his services as mintmaster. He delivers other silver to the coin without this freeing.54)

51) His last reward for this, before he himself advances to minting, takes place in 1482 for the period from St. Dorothea (6 February) to Monday after St. Jacob's Day, 29 July, with 4 Fierern of 3 Marks Vienna weight from 3261 M 3 L. 1 Q. and from the same quantity the codec Sigmund Yseregker obtains the Augzieherlohn with 1 Fierer of the Mark.
52) After a note in the Sch. A. Rep. (Ladurner 292) he was in 1474 still goldsmith to Innsbruck. See also below page 134 for 1479.
53) This day, the 9th of September, 1482, is repeatedly cited in the computation book for 1482, in which it is clear that on this very day Berhard Beheim took office as Hall's mintmaster. The passing away of Hermann Grünhofer at that time is announced in the following manner by Haller account book for 1482 (conclusion Maria Lichtmeß 1484). 1. After the totaling of the expenses is noted: "And the Restat as Grünhofer abgeschaiden is (2) After the clearance is noted:" In the restatget from the Munntzzewg (coin), the front of Herman Grünhofers has been and the same stuff. TIGL. Anpas. Reitterpek. Hammers. Zanngen. And not excepted otherwise, Herman Grünhofer has everything to my genious master.
54) The juridical and business circumstances of the coin will be discussed later in the bookkeeping chapter.

From the some information about the great trades and smelters of the first century of the farms of the lower Inn valley it is evident that the foreign enterprise had intervened only late, only at a time when the Tänntzl, Ftiger u. s. w. For a long time, and with the greatest success, they had been working to transform the treasures of the native earth by thousands of hands into those commodities which the "builders" sought for their monopolistic trade and which they finally endeavored to produce themselves. The importance of local entrepreneurship is even better illustrated by tracking the amount of total production. As early as 1486, the second highest production figure was achieved on the Falkenstein, with all the yields ever achieved: 52,663 marks of burning silver were produced. At that time neither Baumgartner nor Fugger "the Hochstetter or Pümel built; cs are mainly Tänntzl, Füger, v. Ross, Jaufner, Perl, Hofer and Grünhofer the producers, and only Peter Ruml of Nuremberg can compete with the latter or with Jaufner. The highest Falkensteiner production ever falls in the year 1523: 55 855 Mark. Of these, however, more than 14,000 marks belong solely to Hans Baumgartner,

I really do not know where to place this tidbit of information about Peter Grünhofer of Regensburg.

Georg Rösch von Geroldshausen (also called Jörg Resch , born September 29, 1501 in Lienz , † January 13, 1565 in Vipiteno ) was a Tyrolean chancellery secretary and poet. He wrote the Tyrolean Landreim , the first poem printed in German in Tyrol, and the first regional literature in Tyrol.

Life
Georg Rösch was born in 1501 as the son of Hanns Rösch and the Agathe of Bibriach in Lienz. The Rösch of Geroldshausen were a generation from Lower Franconia, which had an offshoot in Carinthia. Nothing is known about his youth and education. He was able to study Latin and Italian and probably scientific studies. Like his five brothers, he was appointed to the civil service and worked in various posts at the regiment and chamber of the Upper Austrian government in Innsbruck .

In 1526 he was a teacher at the supported by the court Latin School in Innsbruck, in 1527 he became a registrar . In 1542 he spent some time at the Imperial Court in Speyer , 1548 he received the court judge in Stubai . King Ferdinand I valued his services greatly, he entrusted him with the organization of the archives and appointed him in 1559 to the royal council.

In 1547 Rösch obtained from the government the establishment of a permanent print shop in Innsbruck, which was directed from 1554 by the court book printer Ruprecht Höller. He also printed the literary works of Rösch.

In 1555 he published The princely county Tyrol Landtreim , a literary form written in Tyrol (see below). The continuation request of all world Welthendlen, Werckhleüten and trades , a description of 186 crafts and various stalls in verse appeared in 1560 under the pseudonym Georg Reutter of Gayssspitz . In 1555 he reissued the Tyrolean Land Order . Rösch also wrote several historical-genealogical works that have disappeared today.

Around 1530 he married Katharina Grünhofer. The widow brought four children into the marriage, the common son was later palace captain of Ambras . When Innsbruck was threatened by the plague in 1564, the government and the chamber moved to Sterzing , where Georg Rösch von Geroldshausen died on 13 January 1565 and was buried in the parish church.

The Tiroler Landreim

Title page of the edition of 1558
The princely county Tyrol Landtreim appeared in 1557 and was published in 1558 in an expanded edition. It is the first poem printed in German in the Tyrol. The poem written in the dogma consists of 1015 verses, which do not always rhyme. It describes the topography and in particular the economy of the then Counseled County of Tyrol and thus represents the first regional knowledge of Tyrol.

While waters, rivers and lakes are relatively completely enumerated, mountains and mountains are only marginal. The cities are presented with their most important cultural monuments, such as the Golden Roof or the Hofkirche in Innsbruck. Mention is made of the monasteries of Stams (as the tomb of the territorial princes) and Wilten with the founding legend of the giant Haymon .

More than half of the poem is about mining and describes the occurrence, mining and processing of salt and ore. Schwaz is called in the land rhyme "all perckwerck muetter" (all mines mother), a name that was later frequently taken up. Saline and mint in Hall are also honored in detail. Other industries include logging and charcoal burning as auxiliaries of the mining industry, glassworks , gun and bell foundries , the extraction of rock oil in Reith near Seefeld or the production of silkworms in Rovereto . Farming also occupies a large area with the description of livestock, fruit growing, viticulture, abundance of game and fishing.

While the poem can be described as bumpy from a linguistic point of view, its content is the first of its kind in Tyrol to be an important historical source that has nothing comparable in its diversity and completeness in its time.

"The legend of Teufelhammer"

The miller from the hammer mill "Teufelhammer" at Wirbenz worked in his mill when the devil surprised him.

The devil coveted the beautiful miller's wife for himself. Of course, the miller did not agree and denied the devil his request. Excited with anger and disappointment, the devil banged his tail back and forth. The miller saw that he was constantly brushing the vise on the workbench. In a flash, before the devil came right to his senses, the cunning miller turned the vise and clamped the tail of the devil.

"Ow, au!", The devil whimpered in pain. "Open again!"

"Not until you promise to leave my wife alone!" Replied the miller. The devil promised everything that was sacred to him, because he was in such pain. The miller released him and the devil made off in no time.

After some time, the miller couple went from church in Wirbenz down to his property. Then the miller in the distance discovered the devil, because he met them both on the street. The man ordered his wife: "Go, woman, bend over and slap your skirts over your head!" Since the women did not wear any underwear at that time, one could see the miller's wife bare buttocks.

The miller leaned comfortably against a tree until the devil arrived. But when he saw the miller's behind, he suddenly remembered the vise and his pain. He could not see the miller's face. Full of fright he took off and left the miller people from then on in peace.

The smart miller and his wife but laughed in the throat.
