Around 1140, the family of von Böckingen is mentioned for the first time in the Hirsau Codex with an Arnoldus von Bochinhen , who donated three farms and a vineyard in Böckingen to the Hirsau Monastery. The closest reliable representatives are the brothers Konrad I and Heinrich I, both of whom are mentioned in the late 13th century. Due to the identity of the coats of arms, family relationships with the Lords of Neipperg can be assumed. The coat of arms of the von Böckingen family, which appears for the first time on a seal of Konrad II from 1297, shows three rings and thus corresponds to the coat of arms of the Lords of Neipperg and the noblemen of Fürfeld .

The castle Böckingen as family seat was probably on a hill in the area of today's Hofstattstrasse .

There is only vague knowledge about the precise power and rights structure of the Lords of Böckingen. You were originally Ministeriale in the service of the Counts of Calw and later rose to the lower nobility. After the end of the Counts of Calw in the 13th century, the rights in Böckingen came to different hands: the bailiwick partly to the Counts of Eberstein , the church rights to the Counts of Zweibrücken-Bitsch , who gave their rights to the local nobility as fiefs. The Böckinger Vogt Konrad I von Böckingen, mentioned in the late 13th century, could, however, also have had the Vogtei as a fief of the Lords of Weinsberg , who also owned earlier Calw property and who appears as their sealer and witness Konrad I several times. In the 14th century, the Counts of Württemberg, as feudal lords, then confirmed the sale of parts of the Bailiwick.

Conrad II, who was married to Gertrud von Remchingen (1297-1342) and was given a seal from the , is the ancestor of the branch of the family, who died out in the male line with the death of Eberhard II von Böckingen (* 1526; † 1550) Year 1297 ( CVNR.DE.BECKINGEN.IVNIOR ) appeared.

The widow of Heinrich I, Margarethe, sells the Burgstadel in Neuheimberg to Kraft von Hohenlohe together with her son Heinrich II (* 1310, † 1334) on August 8, 1334 .

On February 21, 1342, Gertrud von Remchingen (1297–1342) and her son Johann II (* 1333; † 1366) and his wife Hiltgart von Selbach sold the castle ( Burgstadel ) mentioned in 1295 in the pension register of St. Peter Abbey in Wimpfen of the ancestor and bailiff, Konrad I (* 1279, † 1295) to the city of Heilbronn, together with three quarters of the bailiwick of Beckingen , which they received as a fief from Count Ulrich von Wirtemberg.

The widow of Adelhelm (*?; † 1347), Elsbeth von Böckingen and her sons, Kunz IV and Johannes III. Noblemen are mentioned as citizens of Heilbronn when they sell things to a citizen of Heilbronn on April 22, 1347.

On July 22nd, 1384 King Wenzel decreed that the Heilbronn loading and calibration office passed to Hans von Böckingen as a fief. The Lad- und Eichamt zu Heilbronn is again the subject of a lawsuit when Hans Sneyder von Böckingen is sued by Kunz Fewer as the agent of Weikmar Lemlin's widow and Duke Friedrich von Teck has to decide the hearing on August 16, 1387.

In 1385 Hans von Böckingen pledged half of the Söllingen castle and a quarter of the village to his sister Adelheid von Böckingen and his brother-in-law Ernst von giltlingen.

Hans VI goes against Margrave Bernhard I of Baden . on September 16, 1424, the subject of the process is the enfeoffment with a fief, which his cousin Hans still holds. On September 25, 1425, the arbitrators Rudolf von Schauenburg and the man's court of Baden decided that Hans may keep his fief if he proves that he is the legal heir of Hans von Böckingen with the exception of Söllingen in Weissburg.

In 1427 the Burgstadel is mentioned again.

On April 8, 1431, Hans V. (* 1424; † 1462) received from Bernhard Graf zu Eberstein the Eberstein'sche fief with the quarter of the Vogtei together with other rights and goods in Böckingen, which the father Hans IV. (* 1371; † 1410) held as a man fief. The local nobles Conrat von Beckingen Konrad VI. (* 1431; † 1459), Kirchherr zu Beckingen and Hans von Beckingen Hans V. (* 1424; † 1462) sold on June 16, 1431 the claims they had inherited from their father Hans IV (* 1371; † 1410) to the last District of the Eberstein'sche fiefdom, bailiwick and court, Gülten, estates and serfs to the imperial city of Heilbronn. When the heir daughter Agathe von Böckingen married Georg Christoph vom Holz, the remaining property was given to Agathe's husband.

In 1430, a letter of inheritance for the Schöntal monastery was issued in the name of Klaus Renner . On February 22nd, 1454 Klaus Renner and his wife Elisabeth von Böckingen undertake to hand over 22 Malter Frucht to the pastor Konrad Gleser during the time they had the Wittumsgüter from Konrad von Böckingen. In 1459, Renner belonged to a twelve-person circle of judges. Conrat of Beckingen Konrad VI (* 1431, † 1459)., Kirchherr to Beckingen, are 1458 Bet for his in-law and his (own) daughter Rosenbergerin .

Margarete Renner (* 1475; † 1535), was born as the daughter of Elisabeth von Böckingen and Klaus Renner in a house on Stedinger Strasse, Hof Rosenberger.

On November 11, 1459, Conrad VII and his wife Guettlin transferred 2/6 of the Weinzehnten to the Wartberg and 1/6 of the Weinzehnten to Böckingen to the Carmelite monastery in Heilbronn , that of Conrad VI (* 1431; † 1459) the father of Konrad VII by his brother Berthold the Elder. Older (* 1452; † 1459) was acquired.

Due to the marriage of Agatha von Böckingen (* 1551, † 1568) with Georg Christoph vom Holtz, the Holtz family became church lord in Böckingen, while the imperial city of Heilbronn was only state, court and personal lord in Böckingen. The church rule at Böckingen was only the fiefdom of the Counts of Zweibrücken, the fiefdom being later passed on to the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg, then to Christoph Friedrich von Dagenfeld, then to the Higher War Commissioner Baron von Schell, then to the Prussian Councilor Daniel Heinrich came from Frederking. The widow of the Prussian court counselor, Johanna Sidonia Elisabetha von Frederking, sold the fiefdom to the baron Eberhard Maximilian von Holtz in 1728, with the result that the von Holtz family again became church lords of Böckingen. In 1733 Maximilian von Holtz was even able to purchase the fief as property. In 1736 Heilbronn bought the rule of the church from Maximilian vom Holtz for a purchase price of 8,500  florins.
