The lords of Flachslanden (also de Flaxlanden in France ) were an old noble family from Upper Alsace with ancestral seat in what is now the French town of Flaxlanden , which was first mentioned in 1185 and died out in 1839.
history
The oldest known member of the family is Ulricus de Vlaslande, named in 1185. The parent company of the same name of the Flachslanden (today Flaxlanden) is located south of Mulhouse. As ministerials to the Counts of Pfirt , they received the village of Dürmenach near Pfirt as a fief. Among the nobles who died in the Battle of Sempach in 1386 was Werner von Flachslanden (see list of the fallen nobles on the Habsburg side in the Battle of Sempach / F ). A Johann von Flachslanden was court master of the Basel prince-bishop Hartmann Münch von Münchenstein and because of his illness he ruled the prince-bishopric of Basel to a large extent on his behalf. Hans von Flachslanden (1412–1476) was Mayor of Basel and Governor of Rötteln . He played a role as a diplomat. In 1559 Johann Werner von Flachslanden was mayor of Breisach am Rhein . In the 17th century a branch of the family settled in Silesia . Cléophée von Flachslanden was named in 1708 and Madeleine von Flachslanden in 1771 as abbess of Andlau Abbey and thus imperial princess . Johann Baptist von Flachslanden was a politician and a Knight of the Maltese Order. Other members of the family were in the service of the Teutonic Order and the Murbach Abbey. The sex died out in the male tribe in 1839.
