History of the family in Leupoldsgrün

The Baum von Baumsdorf family succeeded the von Lüchau family in Leupoldsgrün , today a municipality in the Upper Franconian district of Hof . 1681 awarded her the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth Christian Ernst , the Vorwerk Lippert with more possession as a fief . According to GA Seyler, Johann Baptist already acquired the Lippertsgrün seat as fiefdom provost and director of the Kulmbach consistory . The family died in 1725 with Sigmund Ernst Baum from Baumsdorf.

According to the genealogist Johann Gottfried Biedermann , an important, albeit uncertain source of the 18th century, the line of ancestors begins with Peter Baum, who was born in 1459 by Emperor Friedrich III. was raised to the nobility. Ernst Heinrich Kneschke confirmed this descent in the New General German Adels Lexicon in 1859 . The various family members were mostly in the service of the Margraves of Bayreuth and Ansbach . As the last male bearer of the name, Biedermann named "Sigmund Ernst Baum von Baumsdorf auf Lipperts", who was buried in Leupoldsgrün.

The von Sparneck family , who were also related to the von Lüchau family, had very little property in the vicinity of Leupoldsgrün around 1700. Helene Sabine Dorothea von Sparneck married Sigmund Ernst Baum von Baumsdorf for the second time on December 21, 1680. The von Sparneck family, which originally had their home country in the Upper Franconian region, was then mainly located in the Upper Palatinate , for example in Reuth near Erbendorf , Püchersreuth and at Trausnitz Castle in the valley .

In 1677 Sigmund Ernst von Baumsdorff, son of Johann Georg, sold goods in Stammbach , including the Wagner mill, to Margrave Christian Ernst .
