Erligheim (noble family)
The Lords of Erligheim are an extinct line of the lower nobility , who were mainly wealthy in today's Palatinate and Electoral Palatinate area.
history
The Lords of Erligheim already appear as ministerials in the vicinity of the Staufer and were related to the episcopal Speyer ministerial family of those of Kirrweiler . They apparently named themselves after the place Erligheim in today's Ludwigsburg district , but soon had their sphere of influence and their seats on the lower Neckar. From 1320 to 1515 at the latest, the family sat at Schwabeck Castle near Schwabenheim , and in the 14th century they also had castle fiefs at Stolzeneck Castle and the Strahlenburg .
The family hired officials at the Electoral Palatinate Court in Heidelberg , who were given important official functions. In order to achieve a deeper bond between the vassals and the Count Palatine , these ministerials were also given fiefs . The sex was closely related to the Benedictine nunnery in Neuburg near Heidelberg, to which it provided several abbesses and in which various family members are buried.
The family resigned in the 16th century. Hans von Erligheim († 1545), father of the last Erligheimer, sold the property in Schwabenheim in 1515 to the Lords of Handschuhsheim . The remaining fiefdoms of the male line of Erligheim, including Ilvesheim Castle , came to the Landschad von Steinach gentlemen through the marriage of Margarete von Erligheim with Hans IV. Landschad von Steinach .
