Beginning, ascent and end

In the second half of the 11th century, the Counts of Gammertingen, whose origin is not clear, set up their first ancestral seat, Burg Baldenstein , near Gammertingen . In 1101 they were mentioned for the first time in a document from the Allerheiligen monastery in Schaffhausen . The counts owned the towns of Zuoz and Pontresina in the Upper Engadin .

In 1134 they came into possession and title of the earlier Counts of Achalm . In 1138 they were mentioned as the owner Neufras ( Nufiron ) in Berthold's Zwiefalter Chronik .
