  • Notes 
    • 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.

      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.
