Eisenberger (noble family)
The Eisenbergers (also Eisenbergk ) were a family of officials from Hesse and had been in the service of their respective sovereigns since the middle of the 15th century. Raised hereditary knighthood in 1563 , they died out in the male line as early as 1607.
history
The Eisenbergers, who for a century and a half provided cellars and officials in the Eppstein and later the Stolberg office of Ortenberg , had connections to the Wetterau , the Taunus and Kurmainz and married several times into the Frankfurt patriciate . The male members were raised to the hereditary knighthood - von Eisenberg - in 1563. The spouses all came from official families, lower nobility or patriciate. After around 150 years of successful family history, the Eisenbergers died out in the male line in 1607 as a result of the plague.
Even Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ancestors of the Office family come Eisenberger.
The chronicler writes:
- “ … The Eisenbergers would have served the Habsburg family as early as the 14th century . Eisenberg Castle near Füssen is their ancestral castle, where there is even an old family coat of arms. A line propagated via Memmingen to Worms , where they were still alive at the time of the chronicler. They have been in the service of the Lords of Eppstein ever since those on the high to the Rhine came to win; After being impoverished by wars and driven into misery, they had worked their way up again and now - in 1583 - stayed for two and a half centuries on the Vogelsberg and at Ortenberg . - The chronicle then entered firm tradition in the middle of the 15th century. Since then, the Eisenbergers have been documented with the progenitor Peter I in the service of the Lords of Eppstein. His enfeoffment in 1451 and the inheritance , such as in 1467 because of war damage and imprisonment, the family understood as admission to the nobility or confirmation of the old nobility claimed in the chronicle ...
