  • 1325 Günter Marian Als "Spitzenahn" Der Henen Von Wink!
    Die Herren von Winkl bis ca. 1325 Günter Ma rian Herkunft und Stellung Als "Spitzenahn" der Henen von Wink! kann der erstmals in einer um 1139/43 zu datierenden Klostemeuburger Traditionsnotiz1 erwähnte Poppo de Winche/e gelten, der etwa zeitgleich im bayerischen Kloster Niederaltaich fiir den im Sterben liegenden Markgraf-Herzog Leopold IV. (1136-1 141) als Zeuge nachzuweisen ist.2 Die Präsenz in der engsten Umgebung des östeneichischen Markgrafen, der zugleich bairischer Herzog war, belegt Poppos Zugehörigkeit zum babenbergischen Gefolge. Eine vermutete Identität mit einem gleichnami­ gen Ministerialen Markgraf Leopolds III.

Frau Hon.-Prof. Dr. Chri- stiane Thomas (1938–1997), Archivarin am Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv in Wien, hat im Rahmen einer, in den Räumen des Archivs gehaltenen Vorlesung, das „Wappenbuchs von St. Christoph am Arlberg“ gezeigt. Ehrfurchtsvoll standen wir Studenten vor dieser Kostbarkeit. Nach weiteren Gesprächen gab Frau Dr. Thomas die Anregung, diese Handschrift einer genauen Bearbeitung zu unterziehen. Mein Interesse an „Heraldik und Sphragistik“ war seit der Vorlesung von Herrn o.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Georg Scheibelreiter gegeben, und so lagen Thema und Betreuung dankenswer- terweise nah beieinander. Daß Frau Dr. Thomas nur wenig später den Kampf gegen eine schwere Krankheit verlor, war sehr schmerzlich. Ihr enormes Wissen und ihre profunde Kenntnis des Akten- und Urkundenma- terials, gepaart mit ihrer Bereitschaft, dieses Wissen auch weiterzugeben, waren bis zuletzt eine große Bereicherung und Unterstützung.
