House Ouren
The House of Ouren was a German noble family in the Eifel . The ancestral seat of the Lords of Ouren was Ouren Castle in what is now East Belgium .
House Ouren
The lineage of the noble lords of Ouren is palpable from the 11th century. In 1095, Rycardis de Hunrin, a member of the House of Ouren, was first mentioned in a document. In 1136, with the mention of Cono de Ore, a further member of the family becomes apparent in a document from the Prüm Abbey . 1164–1167 Alexander von Orle is Bishop of Liège, who may also be assigned to the House of Ouren. In 1171, Cuno de Hure is listed as a witness in a certificate from the Prümmer Abbot Robert von Kleve . Further mentions of the House of Ouren can be found between 1169 and 1183 with Cuno and Arnulf von Ure in documents of the Trier bishop Arnold .
In 1214, Aegidius von Ouren was one of the vassals of Walram IV of Limburg . In 1236 Cono de Urre is mentioned as a vassal of the Luxembourg Countess Ermesinde . A donation from Heinrich von Ouren to the monastery of Himmerod has come down to us in 1263 .
Ouren-Malberg
After the male lineage died out, the castle and the lordship fell to the Malberg family in 1365 through the marriage of Elisabeth von Ouren and Wilhelm von Malberg . Ouren castle and estate remained in the sole possession of the Malberg family until 1517.
Ouren-Malberg-Giltingen
Due to the marriage of Katharina von Malberg with Philipp von Giltingen (in a different way of writing also von giltingen ) the castle and rule were divided between the houses Malberg and Giltingen. The Giltingers came from the northern Black Forest in the area of today's Calw district . The title of Lord of Ouren seems to have been used in both houses. On the one hand, after his marriage to Philipp von Giltingen in 1517 and 1533, the title was given, and on the other, Heinrich von Malberg was also mentioned as Lord of Ouren in 1519. One of Philip's grandsons, Baldwin von Giltingen, is in a relationship with Margareta von Ouren. However, he shares the property with Wilhelm von Malberg. In 1608 and 1630 Martin von Giltingen was run as Lord of Ouren. He is married to Margaret of Ouren. The rule is challenged in court in 1614, as Gerhard von der Horst , who has been married to the daughter of Gerhards von Malbergs since 1583, also claims the title. As a result, Gerhard and his son of the same name also bear the title of Lord of Ouren. In 1645 the brothers Maximilian, Franz-Philipp, Gerhard and Karl von der Horst are named as Lords of Ouren.
Ouren, Tavigny, Limbach and Feilen
In the 17th century, the castle and the manor came into the possession of a von Ouren family who called themselves the Lords of Ouren, Tavigny, Limbach and Feilen. So in 1643 Johan Karl von Ouren († 1676) is named as Lord of Ouren.
Ouren-Dobbelstein
With the marriage of Maria Sidonie von Ouren (* 1643) to Johann Lambert von Dobbelstein, the property is divided again. After the death of Veronika von Ouren, the widow of Johann Franz Ignaz von Ouren, the castle and dominion fell entirely to the Dobbelstein family after 1733. With Karl August von Dobbelstein this line also died out.
