Ebner from Eschenbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ebner coat of arms

The Ebner von Eschenbach are one of the oldest patrician families in the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned in a document in 1251. The Ebner were, with short interruptions, represented in the "Inner Council" from 1319 until the end of the imperial city period in 1806 and belonged to the " Dance statute ”to the twenty old sexes eligible for advice.

The eponymous family seat is the manor house in Eschenbach near Hersbruck (approx. 40 km east of Nuremberg). This has belonged to the family to this day since it came to them from the Harsdörffer von Enderndorf in 1508 (partly through marriage, partly also through purchase) . They have had church patronage over Eschenbach since 1525 .

The origin of the Ebner is probably in the Nördlingen and Donauwörth area , here members of an Ebner family are documented in the middle of the 13th century. They must have become rich at an early age, as they played a key role in the construction of the Klarakloster , consecrated in 1274, and built the first Nuremberg lake house on Paniersplatz in 1280.

From 1319 they belonged to the "Inner Council" and thus to the Nuremberg patriciate . Among other things, they increased their wealth through financial deals with Emperor Ludwig and acquired trading privileges for mining in Hungary and the textile trade in Flanders . Long-distance trade by Ebner has been strongly influenced by business connections to Prague since the 14th century . The trading company Ebner-Muffel was already occupied between 1377 and 1431 on the Middle Rhine , in Flanders and in the Carpathian region . In 1511 Ursula Harsdorfer , the wife of Hans Ebner, inherited the copper hammer mill in Enzendorf (Hartenstein) together with her two sisters . In the same year, her husband acquired the shares of the co-heirs. At that time, the Ebner family had a monopoly on Bohemian copper from Kuttenberg , which they processed in Enzendorf, the most important Nuremberg hammer at the time. At the beginning of the Second Margrave War in 1552, margrave troops burned “Mr. Hannsen Ebner's seat and hat” on May 27th. The damage to the "herrnsytz, saiger, hutenwerck and hammerwerck" as well as the losses due to the robbery of stocks of copper and sheet metal were estimated at 8,000 guilders . Hans Ebner died in 1553, Enzendorf was sold by his children.

From 1508 the Ebner family received Eschenbach Castle near Hersbruck through marriage and purchase from the Harsdörffer patrician family , who had acquired it from a noble family in 1403. Later, when many patrician families added place names to their family names based on the example of the nobility, the Ebner people called themselves Ebner von Eschenbach after their seat . Enrolled in the Bavarian aristocracy as nobles in 1813 , the Ebner von Eschenbach were elevated to the Bavarian baron status in 1825 . She still owns the Eschenbach Castle to this day.

A Bohemian-Austrian Ebner family, who, on the occasion of their elevation to the Bohemian knighthood (as Knight von Ebner ) in 1694, claimed their descent from the Nuremberg patrician dynasty, without any evidence of this, adopted a coat of arms that was reminiscent of that of the Nuremberg Ebner and the city Nuremberg was based and used the buffalo horns of the patrician family as a helmet ornament. In 1796, the Bohemian family was elevated to the status of hereditary-Austrian baron by Emperor Franz II with the title "von Eschenbach". To this family belonged Moritz von Ebner-Eschenbach , the husband of the writer Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach (1830-1916).
