Friedrich I of Truhendingen
Friedrich I von Truhendingen (documented from 1240 to 1274 ), as the husband of Margaretha von Meranien, inherited an extensive legacy of the Andechs-Meranians in the Franconian region in the form of a county.
Friedrich I's father was also called Friedrich von Truhendingen. The counting is based on the assumed title of the count. Friedrich I is thus also the ancestor of the von Truhendingen in the Franconian region.
The von Truhendingen family was initially only represented with smaller estates in the Franconian region. This changed in 1248 with the death of Otto II and thus with the extinction of the Andechs-Meranians in the male line. Friedrich von Truhendingen inherited the Meranians as well as Otto von Weimar-Orlamünde and the Nuremberg burgrave Friedrich III. However, the Bamberg Bishop Friedrich I von Hohenlohe initially also raised a claim to the possessions as a failed fiefdom of the Bamberg bishopric . Friedrich von Truhendingen was ultimately able to assert himself, but the property was pledged several times to the bishopric and finally sold in 1390. The Giechburg and Gügel Castle, as well as the market Scheßlitz and other surrounding villages such as Kübelstein , Laibarös , Stadelhofen , Wattendorf and Neuhaus belonged to the legacy as a Bamberg fiefdom. Another focal point was the Baunach market with Lauter and the step castle as a Fulda fief . In addition, Arnstein came as a free property.
