history

According to tradition, Ditmar von Bendeleben was the first of the family in 890. Around 1190, Hattemar was one of the first landgrave ministers in Thuringia. In 1203 his sons Egelof, Reinhard, Rudolph and Heinrich were mentioned in a document. Bertha von Bendeleben, who lived with her husband Egelolf in Eisenach on the Wartburg at the court of the landgrave, gained importance. After her husband's death in 1211, she and other nobles were given the task of picking up the then four-year-old Hungarian king's daughter Elisabeth (later Saint Elisabeth) in Hungary and escorting her to the Wartburg. A born von Bendeleben was married to the ministerial at the court Ludwig IV , Hartwig von Hörselgau (mentioned 1220-1227).

In 1433 Martin von Bendeleben bought the castle and village of Bendeleben, which remained in the family until 1705. Johann Georg von Bendeleben was a member of the Fruit-Bringing Society under the company name "The Armored One" . The family later owned goods in Bennungen , Bilzingsleben , Kannawurf , Kelbra , Mönchpfiffel , Nausitz , Reinsdorf , Sachsenburg and Thürungen . The family died out in 1828 with the death of Georg Adam Ludwig von Bendeleben on Kannawurf.
