history

The family came from Dieburg in the Dreieich , where a lay judge Hartrad and a Heinrich Hartradi (probably his son) are mentioned in documents as early as 1253 and 1254 . It is probably related to a patrician family of the same name that appeared in Rothenburg ob der Tauber between 1335 and 1385 : The Rothenburg Hartrad are documented as fiefs of the Lords of Hohenlohe-Brauneck in the 14th century, and a quarter of them as heirs of the Lords of Büdingen between 1247 and 1310 the city of Dieburg and probably brought their Frankish servants to Dieburg to manage their newly acquired property; The Gremeser (Cremeser) family from Dieburg, which has also been attested since 1253, is already under the Würzburg and Hohenlohe ministries in the 13th century. The earliest member of the entire family is a Konrad Hartroet named in 1250 , who appears as a documentary witness in a number of apparently Würzburg ministerials.

The Laderam, now part of the Frankfurter Römers as Haus Alt-Limpurg , remained in the possession of Liebels and her siblings Jutte until around 1390 (married in 1357 to the patrician Dietwin zum Römer , in 1363 in second marriage to Eliseus Weiß von Limburg, a son of the Reichsschultheisser Rulmann White and Clara Knoblauch), Else (married to Heinrich zum Culmann in 1357) and Hans Hartrad ; the latter's daughter Hille married the Frankfurt aldermen Jeckel Knoblauch, a son of the rich patrician and mayor Jakob Knoblauch and brother-in-law of the Reichsschultheißen Siegfried zum Paradies .

With his daughter Adelheid (Elchin, † 1423) and her guardian, the wool weaver Henne (Johann) Hartrad, called Krone (last mentioned in 1432), the family ended in Frankfurt.
