Bodenstein (Thuringian noble family)
Bodenstein is the name of an old Thuringian noble family that was wealthy in the Ohm Mountains near Worbis .
history
The area around Worbis was in the Ohmfeldgau , a border area between the tribes of the Saxons in the north and the Franks and Thuringians in the south and was probably under the rule of the Counts of Lare (Lohra) . From the 11th century on, the Bodenstein gentlemen appeared, probably a branch line of the Counts of Northeim. The von Bodensteins did not own the Bodenstein Castle , but were only employed as castle men or bailiffs, who named themselves after the castle as was customary at the time. Bodenstein Castle, built around 1062, belonged to Count Otto von Northeim , a Saxon noble family , during the time of Emperor Heinrich IV . Around 1200, Konrad von Bodenstein founded the Beuren monastery, the associated bailiwick rights were given between 1221 and 1238.
In Mühlhausen the Lords of Bodenstein owned a feudal court on the upper Lindenbühl. They were still tenants of the Quedlinburger Stift and the Counts of Gleichen . In 1275 they lost the Bodenstein castle and dominion to the Guelphs . In 1325 Eckard von Bodenstein owned Wehnde and Wildungen . From the 15th century, the trail of those von Bodenstein in Eichsfeld is lost. Between 1337 and 1448 Bodenstein Castle came to the Lords of Wintzingerode , a noble family in the immediately neighboring Wintzingerode.
The coat of arms of the von Bodenstein family is split and shows a rising lion at the front and five crossbars at the back.
More tribal lines
The von Bodenstein family were related to the Mühlhausen ministerial family Swicker von Mühlhausen and Schieferstein von Mühlhausen . Swicker III. was married to Adelheid von Bodenstein, a sister of Johann von Bodenstein. When Johann, a sideline of the von Bodenstein family, died out around 1290, the son of Zwicker took over the Bodenstein name and coat of arms. This was partly sealed with the new coat of arms, but also partly with the Mühlhausen coat of arms. Konrad von Schieferstein also married a sister of Johann.
In the 16th century, a Thuringian-Eichsfeld family is called von Bodenstein, Melchior and Jobst von Bodenstein were wealthy in Eichsfeld in 1583. A knight Hans von Bodenstein is mentioned several times, born in Grossengottern in 1510, he lived with his wife Anna (née von Eschwege ) in the Ettischleben belonging to Schwarzburg-Sondershausen . He was a bailiff in Gehren and Paulinzella. He died in 1591 without a male successor; his epitaph is in the church of Ettischleben. It is not certain whether they are directly related to those of Bodenstein Castle, they had their own coat of arms with an upward-facing crescent and three stars above, the outer ones resting on the horns of the moon.
