Heimerdingen (noble family)
The lords of Heimerdingen were the local noble family in Heimerdingen . The family was a branch of the Waldeck Truchsessen and is first mentioned in a document on February 1, 1258 with the knight Swigger von Heimerdingen, who witnessed a purchase of goods by the Maulbronn Monastery . Family or marriage relationships existed with the gentlemen von Nippenburg , Mönsheim, Harder von Gärtringen and Gemmingen . Apart from Heimerdingen itself, the von Heimerdingen also owned Hochdorf am Neckar , Oßweil and Hirschlanden , where in 1395 they owned a quarter of the village. The largest property was later Hillersche Gut in Gärtringen , which they possibly acquired through marriage. 1392 they carried it from the county Württemberg to fief .
In 1316 they had to cede the church fiefdom to the Counts of Württemberg , who by 1350 also owned half of the bailiwick and rule over the village of Heimerdingen and who took all of the formerly aristocratic property there by 1462.
The von Heimerdingen family died out in the male line in the first half of the 16th century. Ulrich and Ludwig von Heimerdingen were still in 1511 at the supplement of Duke Ulrich von Württemberg . The last known representatives were the abbess Anna von Heimerdingen in the aristocratic convent of Oberstenfeld (around 1520) and the nun Margarete von Heimerdingen (around 1525).
