Adolf von Wyle

Adolf von Wyle was a German knight and steward of the 13th century and Ministeriale Graf Adolf von Berg .

From the sparse historical sources one can infer that a knight Adolph von Wiehl existed as a historical personality. Among the bailiffs belonging to the County Bureau of Mines Windeck first one emerged Adolphe de Wile, advocato de Wintecgin (Windeck) on the year 1260th In other documents from the same period he is called Her Ailf van Wiele in German . His title Advocatus can best be translated as Vogt (Gottfr. Corbach: Contributions to the Bergische Geschichte).

Other local researchers say that around 1250, an Adolf von Wyle entrusted Count Adolf V von Berg with his rule, which stretched from Bieberstein to the mouth of the Wiehl, and entered his service. He became arch trustee (steward) of the Bergisch Count and also his Vogt of Windeck. After Adolph's death, the Wiehl reign (1267) was given away to Count Conrad von Elverfeld, in whose family it was bequeathed for over a hundred years. (P. Maurer: Oberberg. Heimatbuch o. J.)

His nickname suggests that the Bergische Ministeriale Adolph also had a function in Wiehl, but that is not proven. A manorial court or court association such as that of the St. Cassius zu Wiehl monastery was usually run and administered as a sub-governor ( Vogtei Wiehl ). (Ulrich Melk: Chronicle of Wiehl, 2001)

It is not known where Adolph von Wyle had an official or residence in Wiehl. It is also not known whether it was a permanent house or something like that.
