Conrad I. Zenger lived around 1271. He was married to Tuta von Schönstein. He is considered to be the progenitor of the Zenger family.

family

The following earliest mentions of the Zengers are uncertain. In 948 a woman Wolfhild Zenger was mentioned who accompanied her husband Jacob von Sandizell to the tournament in Costnitz or Constanz. In 1099 an Otto Zenger von Zangenstein was reported to have donated an eternal lamp in the church in Kätzelsdorf . According to written evidence, however, Zangenstein Castle was not founded until the 14th century. Haimeran and Wolfgang Zenger were mentioned for 1230 and Conrad and Otto Zenger for 1238.

Conrad I. is considered to be the progenitor of the Zenger family. He is the first Zenger who is reliably documented.

Conrad I's parents are unknown.

The children of Conrad I were:

  • Ortlieb I. lived around 1282.
  • Otto I was mentioned in 1271, 1272, 1282. He died before 1288. He was a castle man at Murach Castle under Duke Ludwig the Strict .
  • Wolfhart I. lived around 1282. He was a nurse at Sternstein.
  • Adelheid lived before 1299. She was married to Heinrich Geiganter.
  • Heinrich I was mentioned in 1271 and 1272. He was a castle man at Murach Castle under Duke Ludwig the Strict.

A Rudiger Zenger is mentioned for the year 1299, who was perhaps a brother of Conrad.

The sons of Conrad I, Ortlieb I, Wolfhart I and Heinrich I each founded a line. The Ortlieb line died out in the 14th century, the Wolfhart line in the 16th century and the Heinrich line in the 17th century.

Headquarters and property

The ancestral seat of Conrad I is unknown. There are different opinions about this: If one assumes that Zangenstein Castle, built in the 14th century by Otto Zenger, had a predecessor castle, for which Otto Zenger von Zangenstein was mentioned in 1099, this can be considered as the original ancestral seat.

The fortress Nabburg already existed in the 11th century. It could be used as an ancestral home for the Zengers.

Fronhof Castle , which was mentioned in the oldest Leuchtenberg fief book written towards the end of the 14th century, assumes a different opinion as the ancestral seat of the Zenger.
