Count of Heunburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of the Counts of Heunburg, Carinthia 1242

The Carinthian dynasty of the Counts of Heunburg is documented in the period from about 1050 to 1322. Slovenian historians assume that the dynasty was of Saxon origin and the first in Carinthia was Gero (1050-1070), married to the daughter of Hemma von Gurk . In Carinthia they were right after the Duke in the hierarchy, but they were by no means of less descent than the Dukes themselves, and before the Counts of Ortenburg .

The Counts of Heunburg are also known under the names Haimburg and Hunnenburg. They probably got the name from their ancestral seat Haimburg / Heunburg in Carinthia , a castle that was built in the time of Charlemagne to protect against the Avars . The Slovenian name for the Avars is Obri. That is why the Slovenian name for this gender is also Vovbrški or Vovbržani - V Obre, which means something like: From here it goes to Avarland. With Count Hermann, the son of Ulrich II of Heunburg and Agnes of Baden-Austria , the family died out in 1322. Hermann's sister Katharina († 1316) married Ulrich von Sanneck , an ancestor of the later Counts of Cilli , in 1287 .

coat of arms

Three eight-pointed golden stars (arrangement 2.1; 2 stars above, 1 star below) on a blue background.

Later, after the Counts of Heunburg had expired (1322), the coat of arms was passed on to their relatives, the Lords of Sanneck , who were raised to the rank of count in 1341 , named Counts of Cilli , and in 1436 to the rank of imperial prince . The three golden but six-pointed stars on a blue background are part of the coat of arms of the city of Celje / Cilli and the national coat of arms of the Republic of Slovenia .
