history

Bodenstein was an open Hofmark with lower jurisdiction . Like Stockenfels / Fischbach, it had two seats: Michelsberg (Nittenau) and Bodenstein Castle . The first seat was Michelsberg Castle, which has now completely disappeared, located on a tongue-shaped projection into the Regental northeast of Bodenstein. Michelsberg Castle was the ancestral seat of the Michelsberg family, whose family tree can be traced back as far as that of the Hofers. A Fridericus de monte s appears as early as 1160. Michaelis or Friedrich Michlsperger documented in connection with the monastery checking.

The Michelsbergers were Bamberg Ministralia on Nittenau territory, which can be deduced from their position in the witness ranks. Hartwig von dem Michelsberg, whose father Christian is mentioned in 1177 and 1194, entered the Reichenbach monastery as a lay brother before 1205 , in whose documents the Michelsbergs appear almost exclusively at that time. Albrecht the Michelsberger had violent disputes with Reichenbach about possessions and rights around 1240. His sons Otto and Christian were important representatives of their sex. Christian in particular must have been a well-known personality. From 1352 to 1388 he is mentioned in many documents as a surety and witness. He was friends with Eberhard the Hofer zu Neuhaus and the Hofer von Lobenstein . In 1364 Christian called himself “ze dem Podenstein”, which means that he built Bodenstein Castle and lived there. From this time on, the Michelsbergers often call themselves von Bodenstein . The reason for this move is unknown. Hereditary disputes may have played a role.

With Peter Michelsberger zum Bodenstein, Christian's grandson, the male line died out in 1424. Since his daughter had married an Nothahu , a line of this family took over Bodenstein and was now called Nothahu von Bodenstein. She owned the Hofmark until 1539. Michelsberg Castle fell into disrepair at the beginning of the 15th century. The Michelsbergers had their funeral in the pre-church of the Reichenbacher monastery church.

The owners of Bodenstein changed frequently from the 16th century. It is noteworthy that even the Archbishop and Elector of Cologne held the Hofmark, if only for a short time (December 1, 1628 - August 30, 1629). The famous equestrian general in the Thirty Years' War , Johann van Werth , was from 1637 to 1647 lord of the Hofmark, which Elector Maximilian I had given him for his services. In 1674 Bodenstein got married to Georg Raith, at that time the richest citizen of Nittenau. He was even ennobled in 1699 and was now called Raith von Raithenstein. The Hofmark remained in his family until 1774. In 1807, the lower jurisdiction was finally incorporated into the Wetterfeld Regional Court, and Bodenstein was no longer a Hofmark.

Since Bodenstein was an open Hofmark, the spatial extent cannot be specified, only the places in which subjects were subordinate to the Hofmarklord; In some of these places there lived also people who were subject to another master.

At the end of the 18th century, Hofmark Bodenstein comprised 54 properties in 18 localities, some of which have been lost. The largest town was Bodenstein itself with 24 properties, followed by Diepenried with 8 and Michelsberg with 7 properties. The other places were: Asang (4 properties), Treidling (3 properties), Muckenbach (2 properties). In Fichtenhof, Heinzelmühl, Roneck, St. Martin, Schönberg, Steinhof, Steinmühl and Wiedenhof there was one estate of the Hofmark rulership. Mills were in Heinzlmühl and Bodenmühle. The lordship included the castle, the courtyard building, the hunter's house, the brewery and the office building. The following people lived in Bodenstein: 1 landlord, 1 bather, 1 farrier, 1 brewery and 1 shoemaker.

On July 1, 1971, Bodenstein was incorporated into the city of Nittenau.
