Hallenberg (noble family)
The Lords of Hallenberg were a Franconian noble family that formed a small dynastic rule in the Steinbach-Hallenberg area in the 13th century .
The Hallenburg
The seat of the Lords of Hallenberg was the Hallenburg . It lies on an approximately 80 m high porphyry rock on the Arnsberg, which slopes steeply on three sides . The town of Steinbach-Hallenberg lies in the valley in front of today's ruins.
history
The lordship of the Lords of Hallenberg could go back to the beginning of the 12th century, since the borderline of a Reinhardsbrunn monastery document from 1111 allows conclusions to be drawn about a dominion around the Hallenburg. The Hallenburg is said to have been among the castles destroyed by Emperor Otto IV in 1212, which suggests that today's ruins were built on older foundations by the Lords of Hallenberg at the beginning of the 13th century.
In 1228 a Reginhald von Haldinberc was named as a witness when the Rohr monastery was defied. With the acquisition of the reign of Hallenberg by the county of Henneberg , the small dynastic rule ended in 1232. In 1232 Reinhard von Hallenberg was referred to as a Hennbergian clerk.
The lordship of the Lords of Hallenberg was the starting point for the emergence of the later office of Hallenberg , which included the Burgvogteibezirk with the two places Unter- and Obersteinbach and a larger forest area.
