The lords of Escheberg were originally in the north Hessian village Escheberg -based low noble race that is expressed from the 13th to the 15th century. It also belonged to the knighthood of the Prince Diocese of Paderborn , where it was last mentioned in 1451.

The first recorded member of the family was Alexander von Escheberg, mentioned in 1217. Another knight ("miles") Alexander von Escheberg, grandson of the first named, gave four men to the Aroldessen monastery before 1277 . In October 1293 he and his brother Ulrich witnessed the fiefdom of the castle and town of Liebenau by Hermann von Desenberg called Spiegel to Count Otto von Waldeck . In the same year Ulrich von Escheberg became a Landgrave-Hessian Burgmann in Wolfhagen . His son Ulrich acquired in 1318 by buying the small Wasserburg Lengefeld and a court in neighboring Elle - so far, both as ever Steinsches fief of the Lower noble family of Mulhouse held - by the Counts of Everstein to feud , but sold this feudal law already in 1326 to Hermann von Rhena .

Ulrich's grandson, also called Ulrich, received the Electoral Cologne half of the Wetterburg from Archbishop Friedrich III in 1376 . as pledge and fief and in 1410 also the permission to expand this part of the castle in agreement with the council and the citizens of Volkmarsen . Werner von Escheberg, Ulrich's son, acquired half of the village and the district of Büttelsen through his marriage to Grete von Immighausen . Around 1414 Werner, next to his brother Johann probably the last male offspring of the family, donated goods to the Bredelar Monastery in Esbeck and Ostheim for the salvation of his parents' souls .
