Maier von Wössingen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maier von Wössingen were a late medieval noble family and a sideline of the lords of Gemmingen , who had bailiff rights in Wössingen . The first bearer of the name was a Konrad in 1340, the line died out with a Heinrich in 1503 in the male line. The relationships of the line can only be represented fragmentarily.

history

The family line goes back to Konrad von Gemmingen. Its relationships can no longer be clearly clarified. Reinhard von Gemmingen, the scholar considered him in his family chronicle of 1631 as one of the sons of Dieter von Gemmingen (exp. 1274/83) . In 1895, the chronicler Stocker saw Konrad as a son of Schelperus von Gemmingen, whose relationship with the established line of ancestors can no longer be clarified, but who is considered to be the progenitor of the Barons von Massenbach , who are related to the Gemmingen . Konrad's son of the same name is mentioned as Maier von Wössingen with his brother Reinhard in 1340 during a sale of goods to the knight monastery in Odenheim . The Maier von Wössingen were initially still wealthy in Gemmingen , the eponymous headquarters of the Lords of Gemmingen. However, they have gradually sold their goods and rights there. Konrad and his wife Anna sold their part of the big tithe in Gemmingen to their cousin Dieter von Gemmingen in 1356. In 1376 they sold their remaining Gemmingen property. Konrad von Gemmingen had already died in 1408 at the latest, and that year his children bought a farm in Lauffen am Neckar , where a Konrad von Gemmingen named Maier von Wössingen was also a church lord in 1412 . This Konrad or a brother of the same name received part of the bailiwick in Wössingen and that in Bucheck from Württemberg in 1414 . He was married to a lady from the von Flehingen family and probably remained childless, he probably died in 1420 near Sulz. His brother Hans was enfeoffed with his fiefs in 1421 and 1434. He was followed by his son Reinhard, who in 1436 received the fiefs that Konrad had already had. In addition, Reinhard had a fiefdom in Bruchsal in 1437 , which, like the fiefdoms in Wössingen and Bucheck, was later given to his son Heinrich. When his son of the same name died in 1503, the fiefdom fell back.
