Family history

Elector Karl III. On October 24, 1726, Philip of the Palatinate raised the three Hegele brothers to the rank of baron. In the process of ennobling, they relied on ancestry from the old noble family of the Hegelin von Straussenberg and received a coat of arms that, in addition to the Palatinate lions, also showed ostriches , which the older family already had in the coat of arms.

It was about the brothers:

Johann Christoph Sebastian von Hegele was a Catholic pastor and dean in Heidelberg. He died on February 23, 1735 and has a very artistically executed epitaph with a holy water font in the choir of the Heidelberg Church of the Holy Spirit . According to the epitaph, he was a victim of the typhus epidemic , which was rampant in Heidelberg at the time, and was a doctor of theology and trusted advisor to the elector in church matters.

Franz Ignaz von Hegele was district judge and maintenance commissioner at Monheim , as well as court councilor of the Palatinate and Neuburg .

The family acquired Seiboldsdorf near Neuburg an der Donau as their seat, village and estate in 1750 , which was administered as a Fideikommiss . The buyer was Christoph Simon von Hegele.

In 1772 the barons of Hegele and their last bearer of his name, Ernst von Hegele, died out.

The entire family property fell to the Counts of Wiser , to whom Maria Elisabeth von Hegele born. von Wiser (1659–1729) were closely related. She is buried in the Church of the Holy Spirit in Neuburg and has an epitaph there.
