Life, Office and Poetry

The Messrs. Brunwart von Ǒghein were a knightly family of Neuchâtel on the Rhine that can be verified as ministerials of the Margraves of Hachberg since 1130, where several of their members exercised the mayor's office. The family had their rural ancestral seat, castle and property in Ǒghein ( Ǒkhein , Ǒchhein ), Auggen until 1272 . The most important among them was John Brunwart, who as her Brunwart of Ǒughein five conventionally to be named courtly minnesongs input in the Big Heidelberg song manuscript of the early 14th century found ( Manesse extent documented, 258v.), And between 1272/73 and 1283, provable, mayor of Neuchâtel was. Furthermore, one can find his traces as a witness, issuer or sealer of several documents even after his term of office and up to the year 1296, in which he was named Brunwardus miles de Ouchein , her Brunwart von Ǒghein, ritter or Johans Brunwart a knight from Ǒkein et al. becomes well-known. His year of birth is just as little known as the year of death.
