Beuggen (also Beukheim, Bükhein, Büghein, Buchein or Beuken) is the name of a southern German knightly dynasty that had its seat at Beuggen Castle near Rheinfelden (Baden) .

history

origin

In a document from 1113 a Rvodolfus de Bvocheim appears . Whether this is a representative of this House has not been proven beyond doubt, but based on the other witnesses mentioned, it can be assumed as probable.

The sex of the noble servants von Beuggen may have come from the Kehlhalder family in the Rhineland. Bader concludes this from a document from 1218, which was also sealed by Bishop Konrad II of Tegerfelden , among others . In it, the knight Luthold von Bozstein gave the noble servant Mangold Chelhalda von Rheinfelden and his sons Johannes (Johannem) and Mangold (Mane) the church set for “Buckhein” (Beuggen), the Hardt Forest and the new mats as fiefs for a debt of 260 marks . Witnesses included Waltherj Chelhalden and Waltherus de Siegen . The latter is interesting in that it is probably Anna von Nollingen's father-in-law.

Possible and probably more probable is the theory of descent that the gentlemen von Beuggen are a side branch or ministerial of the gentlemen von Buchheim (March) . This assumption is based primarily on the similarity of the coats of arms as well as the spelling “Buchheim”, which was also often found among the von Beuggen family. It is possible that the mentioned Kehlhalder is a nickname. It is not unlikely that the Lords of Beuggen came here through a marriage connection with the neighboring Lords of Nollingen. The two sisters Anna and Berchta von Nollingen, probably the daughters of Eckard von Nollingen, named in 1248, found themselves as the founders of the Himmelspforte monastery in Wyhlen. Anna, who is referred to as a widow in 1303, was married to a Herr von Schliengen and Johannes von Rheinfelden, the founding abbot of the Himmelspforte monastery, is referred to in 1304 as Bertha's “blood relative”.

Family seat

Beuggen was originally a village with a church, a Fronhof and a castle . The noblemen of Beuggen lived in the fortress of the same name, which should not be confused with Beuggen Castle, which was built in the 13th century . There is nothing left of the old Veste Beuggen today. Only the street name "Burstellstrasse" (derived from Burgstall ) reveals the approximate location of the old facility, which was on a ridge north of the Teutonic Order. Presumably the noble family von Klingen had fiefdom there - as in Nollingen and the Hollwanger Hof.

Burial place

Members of the von Beuggen family found their final resting place in a chapel near the parish church in Nollingen. These were donated by the knight Konrad the old von Beuggen, known as Nollinger , in 1371 together with Wittum estates .

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the noble von Beuggen shows a shield split from red and silver, later with a red rose in the left half. On the helmet a pointed hat with a plume, split open like the shield.

Document mentions

In 1246 Ulrich von Liebenberg bought the area of ​​Beuggen with the fortress and possessions in Nollingen and Hollwangen, which he bequeathed to the Teutonic Knights Order. In 1247 Ita von Klingen , b. von Tegerfelden , their ownership rights in Beuggen from the Teutonic Knight Order, whereupon Mangold von Beukheim lodged an objection. He claimed that Beuggen Castle , the associated vines, meadows and forests were partly owned, fiefdoms or as pledges. The later German King Rudolf von Habsburg was called to settle the dispute between Master Gotfrid and the Teutonic Brothers in Alsace and Burgundy and the Mangold von Buchein because of the "Veste Buchein and its accessories" on June 17, 1248 in Laufenburg, where an agreement was reached could be. This legal transaction is also the first documented mention of the noble servants of Beuggen. In all probability the “Gotefrido de Buchein” mentioned on September 12, 1253 in an arbitration award between the Deutschordenskommende and the Paradies monastery regarding the right of patronage in Ittenhausen also belonged to this sex. This Gotfried appears as early as March 16, 1253 in a document in which "Frater Goetfridus preceptor et fratres domus sancte Marie in Buken" compares himself with Conrad von Liebenberg. In 1259 Mangold von Beuggen (Mangoldus de Biuchhein) appears again as a witness in a document from Count Gottfried von Habsburg-Laufenburg. Maag therefore considers him a ministerial of. Then the noblemen from Beuggen moved to the nearby Nollingen, where they had half of the Fron- and Widumshof fiefs from the Lords of Rötteln and also owned their own property. Half the church rate, half the jurisdiction, and half the compulsion and ban were associated with this half of the court, which ensured them sufficient income. A chard from Beuggen (Bukheim) is mentioned several times in the, Rationarium Austriae (approx. 1287). As a result, he also had free float or rights in various localities in the southern Black Forest, such as: Görwihl, Varungen (Maag suspects that the "Varungen" mentioned there is Birkingen ), Brunnadern, Hochsal , Happingen, Wehr . Furthermore, free float in Switzerland, in today's canton Aargau , including various localities around the Bözberg, such as Starnberg, Villigen, Horneschkon (probably Hornussen).

In 1295 a Cünrat Kelhalde, a citizen of Rheinfelden, sold his Schupfart estate to Burckart in the Steinhaus (Nollingen). However, it is questionable whether he can be counted among the von Beuggen gentlemen. His wife, Margarethe, is referred to as a widow in a document dated May 30, 1299. The children from this marriage were called: Heinrich, Jakob, Johann, Berchtolt and Burkard.

In 1302 Conrat von Beuggen received the imperial fiefdom over the town of Adelhausen. Otto von Roetelen, who was lord of the castle at Stein Castle in Rheinfelden at the time, confirmed the rights of the Adelhausen people and their Vogt Ritter Cuonrat von Buochein on the 19th autumn month (September) 1302. The taxes had to be paid by the nobles at Stein Castle. " Her Cunrat von Bükein, a knight " appears on September 4, 1323 in the dispute between the knight Werner the Schaler and the Johannitern in Neuchâtel as chairman in the dispute over the Wuhr von Steinenstadt . On August 21, 1333 Conrat von Beuggen vouched for Gerwig von Tegerfelden that he would place himself in the captivity of Margrave Rudolf von Hachberg zu Schopfheim on September 30th.

On July 16, 1327, according to the necrology of the Beromünster Abbey, a Berchtoldus de Büchein ppos. in Rinveldon et huius ecclesie can and on October 9, 1383 a Verena de Bükein soror eius was commemorated

In 1351 another mangolt from Beugen is found. Again it is about claims that were asserted, this time from the church sentence of the village of Wilen (Wyhlen). Ms. Berchta von Nollingen already had her share in the church set of Wyhlen and Nollingen on June 8, 1303 together with 5 Juchart farmland near Wyhlen as well as all her movable belongings and real estate in the two places with the consent of her husband, the knight Otto Münch of Basel, handed over to her relative Johannes von Rheinfelden in order to found the Himmelspforte monastery in Wyhlen. The abbot of the Himmelspforte monastery, Hermann, exchanged both church clauses on September 7, 1321 with the Beuggen Teutonic commander Peter von Stoffeln for other goods in Wyhlen, Nollingen, Schallbach, Nieder-Dossenbach, Rickenbach, Hemmicken and Ittlingen. But already on June 6, 1325, these goods were returned to the Kommende Beuggen for an annual payment. Now that Mangolt von Beuggen raised claims on the church sentence of Wyhlen, a court day was convened, where the chapter of Rheinfelden was represented by: "Mangolt von Bukhein, Probst, Dietrich von Hirsingen, Dean and Werner Truchsesse, Canon" appeared. The Archpriest Cunrat Schaler of Basel also decided in this case in favor of the Teutonic Order.

On April 15, 1368, the knight Jakob von Trostberg relocated his brother-in-law to the knight Konrad von Beuggen in Hagberg Castle near Olten.

1376 Konrad von Beuggen is named in a promissory note from Count Rudolf von Kiburg for Konrad Hüller of Basel. It says: " ... and I, Count Otte von Thierstein, as a guarantor to her Cunratz von Büghein blessed stat ... " The same document also mentions his son of the same name who was also dead at this point in time ". ..I Heinzman Zielemp to her Cuntzman von Büghein blessed place of the young ... "with which the approximate date of death of Konrad von Beuggen can be derived.

Although the campaign against the Turks in 1392 was not a historical milestone, the extract from Zimmer's chronicle gives us information about all the noble families from “Swabia” who took part in this campaign. It seems that this u. a. were organized by Count Hans von Habsburg-Laufenburg , because he sealed the list together with Count Albrecht von Werdenberg , Count Conrad von Nellenburg , Walter von der Alten Klingen and Hans von Hewen. Among many others, "Hamman von Burken" and his cousin "Herr Berchtoldt von Burken" are mentioned. We meet Henman von Beuggen again in 1393 as "Jungher Henman von Büghein", he sealed at the request of Johannes Scheffer, known as the widow's son of Weitbruch , whose original feud against the Teutonic Order of Beuggen because of his capture at "Burg Stein". His cousin died soon after. Berthold's last documentary mentions included a document from October 28, 1394. He and his cousin, the noble servant Henman von Beuggen, campaigned for his son Konrad's admission to the Beuggen Order of the German Order.

The necrology of the monastery Fraubrunnen near Bern commemorates a "Mr. Hans von Bückheim, rehearsing to Rinvelden " on June 24th . Whether this is the aforementioned Henman cannot be defined due to the missing year.

Downfall of sex

After the death of the knight Berthold von Beuggen, Henman von Beuggen began to gradually sell off Beuggen's goods at the end of the 14th century. Most of these sales went to the German Order Coming in Beuggen. Rudolf von Hachberg, who, as the successor to the Lords of Rötteln, owned the Nollinger estate, gave it to the German Order of Beuggen on September 2, 1400. Henmann von Beuggen, the fief owner of this property, confirmed this donation, with the exception of half to Zwing und Bann, the tavern and the small court. However, he ceded these rights to the German Order Coming for only two days for 200 guilders. Were exempt from this sale. This lost the livelihood for his son Konrad, who spent his retirement as a friar in the German Order Coming Beuggen.

In the end, it seems Henman von Beuggen was completely impoverished. After the death of his cousin Berthold, he got into an argument with his widow, Else Rot, about the inheritance. In addition to some rights, fought over little things like a crossbow, half a cauldron, a rope, two hand rifles (rifles), a table, two iron shovels "and other much smaller pieces", which shows that not much was left of the single shine . On February 1, 1398, a settlement was finally reached between the parties.

After the death of the monastery brother Konrad, the von Beuggen family died out in the male line.
