history

origin

Adelmannsfelden Castle

The original ancestral seat of the family was a castle in Adelmannsfelden near Ellwangen . Sigefriedus de Adelmanesvelden is the first to appear in a document from 1118 to 1136. The uninterrupted line of tribe begins with Sifriedus de Adelmanesfelden , Ministerialer of the Reich , who is mentioned in documents in 1236.

The ancestral seat, the castle Adelsmannsfelden, was given up in the middle of the 14th century and fell to the Counts of Oettingen . In 1882 the family succeeded in acquiring the old headquarters in Adelmannsfelden. The Castle Adelmannsfelden is inhabited today.

Expansion and possessions

Schechingen Castle

Members of the family came to Neubronn in 1385 , which they held until 1638.

From 1435 they also settled in Schechingen , where the old castle was inhabited until 1640, but then fell into disrepair. Today's baroque Schechingen Palace was built in 1759 by Philipp Alois von Adelmann. It remained in the family's possession until 1939.

From 1470 to 1526, Rechenberg Castle in Stimpfach was also owned by the family as a fief of the Prince Provost of Ellwangen .

Castle Church and Hohenstadt Castle

In 1530 Hohenstadt am Kocher came into the possession of the aristocrats. The privilege of jurisdiction granted in 1582 meant that the property was “ imperial-free ” until the end of the Old Empire in 1806. From 1590, Wolf Kaspar Adelmann expanded the medieval castle there into Hohenstadt Castle . After two renovations in the 16th and 17th centuries, it was given its current Baroque form around 1760. The "hedge garden", already mentioned in 1549, was converted in 1756 into a French style and in 1760 a summer house was added. Schechingen and Hohenstadt became Protestant from 1575, but returned to the Catholic Church in 1636.
