Hans Rudolf von Tierberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So-called scandal in the Tübingen Castle.

Hans Rudolf von Tierberg († around 1539 / 1540 ) was a nobleman from the House of Lords of Tierberg that the local lords of Lautlingen were.

Live and act

Hans Rudolf von Tierberg was married to Barbara von Karpfen, the sister of the knights Eberhard and Ludwig von Karpfen . In 1519 he acquired Wurmlingen Castle near Tuttlingen . On April 23, 1529 he sold his brother Hans Konrad von Tierberg Lautlingen and Margrethausen .

Siege of Hohentübingen Castle

His name is on the so-called scandal in a stairwell of Hohentübingen Castle, along with others . This plaque commemorates a civil war-like conflict in Württemberg, the power struggle between Duke Ulrich von Württemberg and the Swabian Confederation . After the due misrule and breach of the peace in imperial ban expired Duke Ulrich in spring 1519, the free city of Reutlingen had invaded, the Swabian League, with the assistance of the Emperor and the Duke of Bavaria on a strong army that conquered much of Wuerttemberg in a short time.

After being abandoned by his Swiss mercenaries, Duke Ulrich was only supported by around 70 nobles, including Hans Rudolf von Tierberg and his brother Hans Konrad von Tierberg. Although they had promised him to defend Duke Ulich's children at the Tübingen Castle, they surrendered shortly after the siege of the castle began on Easter Monday 1519. The nobles were given free retirement by agreeing a one-month armistice. Duke Ulrich then accused her of great cowardice. Hans Rudolf von Tierberg then acquired Wurmlingen Castle near Tuttlingen in 1519 with his wife, Barbara von Karpfen .

After Duke Ulrich von Württemberg had recaptured his duchy in 1534 and returned to Tübingen, he was still so annoyed that the Tübingen fortress was abandoned without a fight that he wanted to brand the nobles who, in his opinion, were cowardly and in breach of treaty for all eternity. He had the names of these knights, including Hans Rudolf von Tierberg and his brothers-in-law but without his brother, written in gold letters on a black "scandal", which was then placed in the knight's hall of Hohentübingen Castle for everyone to see.

Activity as bailiff of the Achalm

Hans Rudolf probably did not stay in Duke Ulrich's disgrace for long, because in April 1535 he was mentioned as the Württemberg bailiff of the Achalm .
