After changing and partly fragmented local rule (1590/92 to 1685 Schaffelitzky von Mukkadell ), the place was again in 1685 in sole ownership of the Württemberg Duke Friedrich Carl , who, however, soon sold Freudental again. In 1710 Baron Johann Gottlob Zobel von Giebelstadt became the heir to the owner of the place. His heirs in turn sold the place in 1727 to the Landeshofmeisterin Wilhelmine von Würben . After this had fallen out with Duke Eberhard Ludwig in 1731 , the latter acquired the place in a settlement in 1733. The place was not in the duchy Württemberg incorporated , but was under the Hofkammergut the Württemberg Kameralverwaltung.
