history

Wehrda was originally owned by Fulda. Through a large number of pledges, the rights at the court were transferred to various noble families. In 1308, Abbot Heinrich V. Graf von Weilnau pledged the "Werdowe" house to the von Trümbach ministerial family , who received it in 1310 as a fief. After several redemptions and new pledges, Albrecht von Trümbach owned most of the court and most of Wehrda in 1507 .

"Albrecht von Trümbach states that he has received a certificate from his Messrs. Johann [I. von Henneberg], Abbot of Fulda and Hartmann [Burgrave of Kirchberg], coadjutor of Fulda. Seal announcement. Advertised certificate: Johann [I. von Henneberg], Abbot of Fulda and Hartmann [Burgrave of Kirchberg], coadjutor of Fulda, state that the families of Buchenau, von Trümbach and von Hattenbach have long enjoyed Wehrda Castle and the courts of Neukirchen [Haunetal] (Neuwenkirchenn), Michelsrombach [ ?] (Romach) and [Unter- and Ober] -Wegfurth (Wegfort) were pledged.

At that time he was also able to acquire the shares in the Buchenau and Hattenbach families . In 1565 Fulda recognized the imperial immediacy of the Buchon nobility . Since the Wehrda court was predominantly owned by Trümbachs at that time, the court was henceforth a knightly court in the knightly canton of Rhön-Werra . In 1687 von der Tann exchanged half of the Fulda court. In 1711 Fulda received this half back. Von Trümbach and von Heringen owned a quarter each. In 1786 these two families each received a further quarter as a fuldisches fief. The Fulda bishopric also had central jurisdiction over the court.

In 1803, the court became part of the Principality of Nassau-Oranien-Fulda in the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss . Organizationally, it was run there as part of the Principality of Fulda and there part of Cent Neukirchen.
