Bornheim (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family coat of arms of those of Bornheim

The lords of Bornheim (also: Schilling von Bornheim ) are an old Rhineland aristocratic family that named themselves Bornheim (Rhineland) after their ancestral seat .

history

The progenitor of the family was Wilhelm Schilling I of Bornheim (first documented mention 1173–1198), a knight, ministerial of the Archbishop of Cologne, Vogt von Bornheim and founder of the famous Schillingscapellen monastery . Wilhelm Schilling himself never used the nickname of Bornheim . It was only in the legend of the discovery of the Madonna by Wilhelm Schilling in the Schillingscapellen monastery (today in the Buschhoven parish church) recorded in 1686 that he was called Wilhelm Schilling von Buschfeld , Ritter, Herr zu Bornheim. His son of the same name Wilhelm Schilling II, however, appears as a knight Wilhelm von Burnheim as early as 1216 .

Various sidelines arose from the Lords of Bornheim, named after their respective knight seats. These include the gentlemen of Werden , from which the gentlemen of Buer and the gentlemen of Landsberg emerged, the gentlemen of Hall, the gentlemen of Sechtem, the gentlemen of Buschfeld and the gentlemen of Troisdorf.

coat of arms

The family led a silver bar, red bar in gold. The family coat of arms can be found today in the Bornheim local coat of arms. It was only supplemented by a jury's sword.

The lattice beam of the von Bornheim family can be found in the Breniger jury seal in 1319.
