Rieter von Kornburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rieter coat of arms

The Rieter von Kornburg and Kalbensteinberg (also Rieter von Kornburg, Kalbensteinberg and Harrlach ) were a patrician family of the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned in Nuremberg in 1361. A pot helmet by Hans Rieter from this time can still be seen in the Germanic National Museum Nuremberg.

From 1437 they were represented in the Inner Council with short interruptions until they died out in 1753 . According to the dance statute, they belonged to the new sexes eligible for advice and were members of the imperial knighthood in the knightly canton of Altmühl. They owned Kornburg from 1447, until 1812 it was administered by a Rieter Foundation.

history

The origin of the Rieter (also: Rietter or Ritter ) is not clearly established. It is likely that they come from the Lower Franconian town of Ebern and not from the Orient or Cyprus , as is stated in the later family chronicle. Some information also points to a prehistory as a crusader , which would explain both versions. The property already in existence in the 14th century and the award of the coat of arms by King Jacob of Cyprus in 1384 suggest that it came from the ministerial class . The Rieter were the only line of the Nuremberg patriciate , which the old nobility of the Franconian knight circle did not deny the equality (see: nobility test ) and the tournament ability.

The Rieter became rich in long-distance trade and were characterized by mobility, a keen sense of art, a passion for collecting, adherence to old values, stubbornness and generous foundations. Hans Rieter († 1414) is involved in financial transactions with the Medici . Since 1384, Rieter has made a fortune in long-distance trade with Genoa, Milan, Rome, Pettau, Ofen, Antwerp and Castile. From 1390–1512 they owned the so-called “House for the First Request” in Nuremberg, where the newly elected Roman kings awarded the imperial fiefs and regalia at their first Reichstag, which has been held in Nuremberg since 1356.

Far more extensive than the property in Nuremberg itself were the goods to the west and south of it and the goods in Swabia (Bocksberg). After they came into the possession of the town of Kalbensteinberg in 1437 , the Rieter bought the moated castle in Kornburg (Rieterschloss) in 1447 , were given the imperial post office and called themselves Rieter von Kornburg. In 1462 Andreas Rieter von Kornburg came to the Swabian lordship of Bocksberg (also Pocksberg ) through marriage . He was the founder of the Bocksberger line. In 1502, after the death of Peter Rieter, the Kornburg line died out and the majority passed to the Kalbensteinberger and Bocksberger lines. After the Rieter died out in 1753 and protracted inheritance disputes with the knightly canton of Altmühl , their possessions fell to the Heilig-Geist-Spital through the Rieter Foundation, which was set up in advance in 1437 . The Hallers von Hallerstein were appointed as foundation administrators by the free imperial city of Nuremberg .

Former possessions (extract)

The Rieter owned large estates in and around Nuremberg:

In the Rieter house on Hauptmarkt 6/8 (destroyed in 1945) the German kings, who held their first Reichstag in Nuremberg according to the Golden Bull , awarded imperial fiefs and regalia . In return for the letting of the house for the official acts, the Rieter had the right of first request , that is, the intercession of the king with the feudal princes in favor of the house owners. The house later came to the Behaim .
