Coat of arms of the bombast of Hohenheim

The Hohenheim bombast was a Swabian noble family that was mentioned as early as the 12th century. The family was originally called Bombast and later named itself after the Hohenheim estate near Plieningen Bombast von Hohenheim.

history

Already around 1270 a Konrad von Hohenheim called Bombast was mentioned in a donation to the Herrenalb monastery . They had received the Hohenheim estate from the Counts of Württemberg as a fief. In 1375 a bombast was named as the feudal man of Count Palatine Ruprecht .

The Jerusalem pilgrim

A Georg bombast of Hohenheim appears in 1462 as St. John's Commander of Rohrsdorf of 1468 the then Count Eberhard V of Württemberg-Urach (Eberhard the Bearded) accompanied on his pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and on July 12, 1468 in Jerusalem to the Knights of the Holy grave beaten has been.

The doctor

The Jerusalem pilgrim Georg, 1453–1499 Johanniterkomtur in Rohrdorf near Nagold, is regarded as the illegitimate father of Wilhelm Bombast von Hohenheim, who in turn was probably the father of Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim, known as Paracelsus ( 1493–1541) was. So this was a bastard line in the sense of nobility .

The Grand Prior

Another Georg Bombast von Hohenheim made a career with the Order of St. John and succeeded his uncle as Grand Prior in Germany. With him, the family in the male line died out in 1566 - at least there are no more bombs after him.

Anna Bombastin von Hohenheim († 1574), the third wife of Margrave Ernst von Baden-Durlach , was a sister of the Johanniter Grand Prior of Germany, Georg Bombast von Hohenheim. Since she came from the lower nobility, it was an morganatic marriage for Margrave Ernst , which however did not lead to inheritance disputes due to the lack of children from this marriage. A grave slab with its relief portrait is located in the former town church of Sulzburg , which today houses the state mining museum of the state of Baden-Württemberg .
