Life

Burkhard Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler acquired pledges in Neudenau , Katzental , Jagstfeld , Offenau , Duttenberg and other places in the area, which fell back to the empire in 1362. In 1356, after the Lords of Helfenberg died out, he acquired their possession of Stettenfels Castle with Untergruppenbach , where he lived for a time. He died in 1364 and left several sons of the same name. His son Burkhard called Sturmlin fell in 1377 in the battle of Reutlingen. Another son Burkhard the Younger († 1400) brought the main part of Stettenfels Castle from the Lords of Hirschhorn through marriage and founded the Stettenfels line of the family, who were also court lords of Flein from 1358 , but these rights were then transferred to the imperial city in 1385 Heilbronn sold.

Siege of Hohentübingen Castle

The name Burkhardt Sturmfeder is on the so-called scandal in a stairwell of Hohentübingen Castle . This plaque reminds of a civil war-like conflict in Württemberg, the power struggle between Duke Ulrich von Württemberg and the Swabian Confederation . After the due misrule and breach of the peace in imperial ban expired Duke Ulrich in spring 1519, the free city of Reutlingen had invaded, the Swabian League, with the assistance of the Emperor and the Duke of Bavaria on a strong army that conquered much of Wuerttemberg in a short time.

After being abandoned by his Swiss mercenaries, Duke Ulrich was only supported by around 70 nobles, including Eberhard and Ludwig von Karpfen. Although they had promised him to defend Duke Ulich's children at Tübingen Castle, they surrendered shortly after the siege of the castle by Georg von Frondsberg began on Easter Monday 1519. The nobles were given free retreat by agreeing a one-month armistice. Duke Ulrich then accused her of great cowardice.

Document mentions

In 1345 Ritter Burkhardt Sturmfeder sold ten Jauchart Acker to the Wimpfen monastery "uf the Stahelbühel between Wimpfen and Nidern-Issensheim on the Ochsenberg."

Sturmfeder and his two sons, also called Burkhardt, sold in 1362 to Comburg for 200 pounds Heller the bailiwick of the Comburg estates, the court and everything they had here, namely 1 yard and 8 estates.

Italian campaign

According to Wilhelm Hauff's romantic legend from the history of Lichtenstein in Württemberg , he fell at Frondsberg's side in Italy, leaving behind a son Georg, who was probably invented by Hauff.
