Hütting (noble family)

Hütting was the name of an old Bavarian noble family .

origin

The headquarters of the Lords of Hütting was Hütting Castle above Hütting near Rennertshofen . It is located on a rock above the Wellheimer dry valley in the southern Franconian Jura . Today only ruins exist.

The castle was built in 1060 and first mentioned in 1256 in a document from Count Berthold II of Lechsgemünd . The Counts of Lechsgemünd and later Lechsgemünd-Graisbach transferred the administration to a ministerial , whose descendants were henceforth called Herren von Hütting . In 1342, the entire Graisbach family, including Hütting Castle, fell to the Wittelsbach family .

From this time on, the Hüttinger moved their residence to nearby Ammerfeld , which they acquired in 1366 together with the hamlet and court of Natterholz . They also had a residence in Dollnstein .

In 1550 the family died out with Thomas von Hütting.
