Towards the end of the 13th century, Dido (Dietrich) von Ubach is mentioned as Vogt von Sontra ; his son Dedonis was councilor of the Hessian landgrave Heinrich I. They became the ancestors of the Diede zum Fürstenstein. Their ancestral seat was probably not the eponymous desert Ubach in the valley of the Sontra between Sontra and Wichmannshausen , where no signs of a castle can be seen, but the residential tower in Wellingerode two kilometers further south.

From 1344 the Diede , originally probably Burgmannen on the Boyneburg and according to their coat of arms, were tribal related to the Lords of Boyneburg , at the Fürstenstein Castle near Albungen an der Werra , which has been owned by the Landgrave of Hesse since 1301 , but has been pledged in many cases . In 1389 they were first referred to as Dethen zum Forstinsteyn , but in 1416 they were only called Diethen . In 1430 they were Landgraf I. Ludwig of Hesse with Prince Stone invested . From 1479 they called themselves more and more often Diede zum Fürstenstein . From 1596 and until they died out in the aristocratic male line in 1807, they were the sole masters of the Fürstenstein castle and dominion.

1425 Landgraf was Ludwig I of Hesse his ministerials and Burgmann Herman Diede to Prince Stone and his sons Hermann and Louis as a fief the village Wellingerode with the bower , the village Mitterode , a free yard in the town of Sontra and three hooves from this city with all Equipment. Wellingerode Castle also remained in their possession until 1807.

In addition, in the course of time they acquired further allodial and fiefdoms, including a .: a Burglehn in Eschwege , Niddawitzhausen (a Hersfeldian Stiftslehen with the lower jurisdiction ) as well as the desert areas of Bechsdorf, Begenthal, Bettelsdorf and Ubach and local woods; also the Immichenhain monastery, which was abolished after the Reformation , with the village of Immichenhain in the Neukirchen district . In addition, from 1600 they were also Ganerbe zu Frielingen with the Lords of Meysenbug .

H. the farms of Volkershof and Niederberf . The other half was used to finance court and state administration and parish costs. This fiefdom was renewed and expanded in 1544: it now comprised the monastery property including the building yard, the village of Immichenhain with the local Weinzapf, the Volkershof as well as income from Leimbach , Neukirchen , Riebelsdorf , Holzburg and the tithe to Niederberf. The family remained in possession of the estate and village of Immichenhain until the death of Wilhelm Christoph Diede zum Fürstenstein in December 1807.

After the death of his father-in-law and his last son Anton, he acquired the fief of Ziegenberg Castle in Wetterau and its accessories in 1557 - partly as an inheritance from his wife, partly by paying 4,000 Reichstalers to her two brothers-in-law . His descendants therefore called themselves hereditary court lords zu Fürstenstein, Ziegenberg, Immichenhain, Wellingerode etc. Hans Eitel Diede zum Fürstenstein , from 1745 to 1748 burgrave of Friedberg Castle , had the medieval castle converted into a baroque palace around 1747 .
