Conrad von Hailfingen called Boltringer († 1427 ), who sold the castle and village of Poltringen in 1423, was the Württemberg bailiff in Reichenweier in 1423 and 1426 .

Live and act

Conrad was a son of Heinz von Hailfingen and grandson of Anselm von Hailfingen . He was able to get back Poltringen Castle , which was sold by his widowed mother, Anna Böcklin, to Albrecht von Ergenzingen, known as von Ast , in 1404 , but only with difficulty: A document from 1417 reports that Conrad and Albrecht von Ast had a dispute, the latter being captured. Thereupon a judgment was issued that Albrecht had fallen for the rule of Württemberg body and good and that the Hailfinger should receive the slogan on Poltringen. In 1420 Konrad was enfeoffed by the Counts of Württemberg with Entringer and Poltringer Schönbuch rights.

In 1423 he sold his property for 2250 pounds to Countess Margreth von Hohenberg and her son Sigmund . The detailed sales certificate lists: Poltringen Castle with the mill in front of it, shares in the villages of Poltringen and Oberndorf and numerous serfs there as well as in Reusten , Altingen , Pfäffingen , Jesingen and Wendelsheim .

His brother Wilhelm, who was Komtur of the Johanniterkommende Mergentheim , expressly agreed to the sale. The older Hans von Hailfingen was another of the six guarantors. After the sale of Poltringen, Konrad entered the service of Württemberg and became Vogt of Reichenweier in Alsace . Although he had no offspring, he bought a portion of the tithe in Melchingen for 600 pounds from the Stauffenberg taverns in January 1427 . Conrad died on May 29, 1427. His grave slab is still preserved in the Bebenhausen monastery today.

The 2000 pounds, which his employer, the Count of Württemberg, owed him, inherited his brother Wilhelm, who in 1428 received a partial payment of 600 pounds. In addition, Wilhelm had inherited several serfs in Entringen , Breitenholz and Pfäffingen , which he sold to Württemberg in 1430 for 75 pounds. The Melchinger tithe was divided among the other members of the Hailfinger families , namely Georg, Wolf, Heinz and the brothers Hans and Merklin. Wilhelm later moved to the Johanniterkommende Rottweil , where he was mentioned as Commander in 1436/37. Later, an arbitration certificate from 1443 reports that Wilhelm, as Komtur zu Ilsfeld, made a legacy of gold and silver dishes.
