The barons and counts of Hennin (also Henin) came from the French noble family de Navier (also de Naviere), who were already known in Toul in 1444 . They rose to the service of the Dukes of Lorraine and later moved their seat to the Upper Rhine. There they served the Habsburgs and the House of Baden . The male line ended in 1980 with the death of Ludwig von Hennin.

history

Neuershausen Castle in March-Neuershausen

Hecklingen Castle was owned by the Counts of Hennin from 1775 to 1985

Duke Charles III. von Lorraine gave in 1582 Etienne de Navier (called Steff de Naviere) the rule Henningen with the Henninghof in Möhringen-Zondringen and he called himself de Hennin afterwards . In 1629 the family was elevated to the status of baron by Emperor Ferdinand II and in 1726 to the status of count by Duke Leopold of Lorraine . Karl Franz von Hennin († 1702) was the Lorraine governor of Hombourg-Haut and Saint-Avold . In the wake of Duke Leopold, Anton and Karl (1667–1728) came from Hennin to Austria, where they served in the imperial army. In 1750 Karl von Hennin (1728–1798) entered the service of the Margraviate of Baden-Baden . In 1768, the Catholic Count was Oberamtmann of the margravial Baden-Baden Oberamt Mahlberg . He kept this office even after the reunification of the two margravates of Baden-Baden and Baden-Durlach (1771). In 1774 he resigned from the margravial service, sold the family estates in Lorraine and bought the imperial-free rule Hecklingen with the Lichteneck castle ruins .

With the purchase of the Hecklingen estate, the Counts of Hennin became members of the Breisgau knighthood . In Breisgau, the Habsburgs had brought the free imperial knights under their sovereignty, the knighthood was the second estate in the Breisgau estates and the Counts of Hennin were now one of about 25 noble families who had rights to participate in the government of Breisgau through the estates. Karl von Hennin began building the lower palace in Hecklingen as early as 1776. His wife, Countess Elisabeth von Schauenburg- Hennin, had the Neuershauser Schloss built in Neuershausen , which was completed in 1783. In 1841 Franz Albert (1816-1894) acquired the so-called upper castle in Hecklingen.

After the Upper Austrian Breisgau and its short-lived successor, the Duchy of Modena-Breisgau, fell to the Electorate of Baden in 1806 , the Counts of Hennin were able to gain a respectable position in the Grand Duchy of Baden, which was founded shortly thereafter .

The Baden court judge Peter von Hennin came in 1825 as a representative of the manorial nobility (district above the Murg) in the first chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly and remained there until 1833. In 1841/42 and 1847/48 he was again in the chamber. Mannheim city director Rudolf von Hennin was a member of the chamber from 1859 to 1865 and its second vice-president from 1861 to 1865. Konstantin von Hennin was a member of the chamber from 1889 to 1904.
