Georg von Werenwag or Jörg von Werenwag († March 1, 1509 ) was a German nobleman and Vogt. He was successively Vogt on the Waldburg , Castle Vogt on Wildenstein and from 1495 to 1498 Obervogt in Tuttlingen .

Life

Georg von Werenwag was one of the five children of Conrad III. von Werenwag († around 1470 in Ottobeuren ). Through the mediation of his uncle Marquart I , he received the Austrian fiefdom of Reichenbach from the mother of Duke Eberhard im Bart , Archduchess Mechthild , on November 23, 1464 . On January 12, 1497, the Austrian King Maximilian enfeoffed him with a house in Nusplingen , four man mowing in Brühl in Bärental, as well as four desolate goods and three pounds advance interest from the mill in Reichenbach. In Ensisheim near Bärenthal , 1459 meadows of the von Werenwag family are mentioned. Acquisitions in Munderkingen , Biberach and Reutlingen followed . On October 14, 1477, Georg ceded various tithe in Nusplingen and Unterdigisheim , the patronage of the parish and early mesnery in Nusplingen and two chaplains in Obernheim to the Beuron monastery .

Georg von Werenwag had an excellent military career: From 1479 onwards, Count Eberhard the Elder called him up several times as a servant with four horses. In 1490 the count asked him to go into the field, but there was no fight. There was also a comparison in 1492, when Jörg and five horses went to Lechfeld against Duke Albrecht of Bavaria . In 1496 and 1498 Jörg was Württemberg councilor and from 1495 to 1498 he was in Tuttlingen. He enjoyed a high reputation in the country and was a sought-after referee. Georg was Vogt of the Waldburg in 1472. In 1491 he was appointed bailiff on Wildenstein by Andreas von Sonnenberg .

family

Georg's wife Margarethe von Urbach brought the Pfannenstiel castle ruin into the marriage as a dowry , which was later sold to the Beuron monastery including the Eck (?) District and all accessories. His marriage remained childless, he and his wife secured good care in 1500 by buying a personal property from the Bebenhausen monastery , in which his cousin Konrad von Lustnau was abbot. The Zwiefalten , Ottobeuren and Beuron monasteries also listed him as a benefactor. The couple were buried in the newly built abbot's chapel of the Bebenhausen monastery: “Anno domini 1509 1. Martii obiit der noble vest Georg de Werenwag and the next year before that on May 7th, his married husband, Mrs. Margreth, née de Urbach, died Be gracious and merciful to God. Amen ” .
