Lords of Erzingen
The Lords of Erzingen were a southern German noble family in the Landgraviate of Klettgau with their seat in Erzingen .
history
Nothing certain has been handed down from a castle or a country house in Erzingen. Presumably they sat in the village itself. Members are mentioned in documents from 1353 as noblemen or junkers , they were related to those of Bettmaringen and von Grießen . In 1427 Heinrich von Erzingen was named as the patron saint in Untermettingen , he administered the pledged goods of the princes of Fürstenberg and lived in Untermettingen Castle in 1437 . For six guilders annually in 1462 he acquired the castle and the villages of Obermettingen and Untermettingen as well as Obereggingen, including people and goods, and thus also acquired the castle rights to Schaffhausen .
1428 buys Junkernheinrich of Erzingen by Hans of Tüfen the castle Ofteringen including people who belong.
From 1483 to 1494 they owned Birkendorf Castle .
Ebnet still has her coat of arms.
After 1529 they are no longer mentioned.
coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Lords of Erzingen shows a silver soaring boar on a blue shield. It is still the coat of arms of Erzingen and Berg am Irchel .
The chronicle writer Johannes Stumpf mentions an extinct family of Ebersberg who had their ancestral seat on the defunct Ebersburg between the castle Schollenberg near Flaach , which burned down in 1838, and the castle Radegk ; Today the Ebersberg fortress is located in the Ebersberg .
