Gender of those von Hauenstein

The Lords of Hauenstein were a knight family in the southern Black Forest. The seat of the family was Hauenstein Castle in the town of the same name near Laufenburg . Documentary mentions can be found in the early 13th century (1215 Eberhard, Capellan and Lüthold von Hauenstein) to the beginning of the 15th century (1403 Henman von Hauenstein). Other spellings of the family name are von Höwenstein, von Howenstein also von Horwe (Eberhard von Horwe, 1215).

Life

Henman von Hauenstein was the son of the noble servant Wilhelm von Hauenstein and the last lord of the family castle Hauenstein near Laufenburg, where he was probably born around 1340. Henman is mentioned for the first time in a document in 1368 when his father Wilhelm sold the fief together with the “Zwing und Bann” of the village of Dossenbach . Henman's grandfather, the knight Johannes von Hauenstein , was awarded this fiefdom in 1316 by Margrave Heinrich von Hachberg . In 1377, Henman von Hauenstein himself appeared in disputes between him and the city of Basel , which the city of Basel settled on October 20 by paying 100 guilders to him.

In 1392 Henman von Hauenstein (Hamman von Hawenstain) took part in King Sigismund's first campaign in Wallachia against the advancing Turks, where they initially succeeded in capturing Little Nicopolis after a laborious siege. However, the overwhelming power of the Turks quickly forced them to retreat, with King Sigismund barely escaping with his life. After hasty retreat to Henman went back to its master land, for Henman sealed together Hauenstein already in 1393 with Henman of Beuggen (Büghein), who also participated in the campaign in Wallachia, the Urfehde the John Scheffer , "the widows Son of Weitbruch ”, because of whose imprisonment at the castle, the“ stone ”of Rheinfelden, swore to the Teutonic Knight Order in Beuggen .

Henman von Hauenstein was in the service of Margrave Rudolf III. from Hachberg-Sausenberg . He was the chief bailiff and, as bailiff for any margrave disputes between the margrave and his wife Anna von Freiburg , was obliged to administer the marriage tax and dowry in their favor. In this office there are some documented mentions where he appeared as a witness and co-sealer. So in the years 1387, 1388 and 1389.

Henman von Hauenstein was married to Else Sweininger . From this marriage he and his wife were entitled to the inheritance of the lay tenure in the village of Möhlin (CH), to which, however, he did not claim in 1397 and only reserved the right of a later claim, which he did a year later. This was not without consequences because it led to disputes with his employer, Margrave Rudolf von Hachberg-Sausenberg, Herr zu Rötteln , which continued until January 1408 in the successor to Hanman von Büttikon. Henman von Hauenstein appeared in a document for the last time in 1403. He probably died a short time later in Säckingen, where he was a citizen.
