Plieningen is the name of a noble and noble family from the Middle Ages and early modern times, (originally) from Plieningen ( Plieningen Castle ).

There is a difference between a noble family and a ministerial family. The noble lords of Plieningen are documented in the 1130s and 1140s, but died out around the middle of the 12th century, with their possession presumably going to the Guelphs and from then to the Count Palatine of Tübingen .

From the 1st half of the 13th century the ministerials of Plieningen , who were dependent on the Count Palatine, appeared. Their coat of arms showed a black horse's trunk in gold (alternatively in silver). The Plieningers lost their ancestral castle (1287) in the war between King Rudolf I of Habsburg (1273–1291) and Count Eberhard I of Württemberg (1279–1325) and are then in Esslingen am Neckar , in and around Göppingen and perhaps also in Bavarian-Swabian area detectable. It corresponded to the political decline of the Tübingen Count Palatine that the Plieningen “progenitor” Dietrich called Melschner (1272, 1292) also had to renounce the Plieninger Herrenhof and the patronage of the Martinskirche on January 29, 1292.

Part of the Plieninger family established themselves in the imperial city of Esslingen, members of the family belonged to the local upper class ("honesty"), acted as lay judges and document witnesses, Albert († 1344), a son of Dietrich, is called a guild master . The Plieninger in Esslingen died out in the course of the second half of the 14th century.

A brother of the guild master Albert, Rügger [I.] († before 1344), founded the Göppingen line of the Plieninger. Male members of this line are attested in the 14th and 15th centuries in the service of the Counts von Werdenberg , von Zollern and the Counts of Württemberg . Dietrich the Elder (1453–1485) was appointed by Count Eberhard V of Württemberg (1450–1496) on 20 December 1480 with the Schaubeck castle and half of the court and bailiwick over Kleinbottwar .

Two sons of Dietrich the Elder were Dietrich von Plieningen (* 1453– † 1520), doctor in civil law, learned counselor, knight and humanist, and Johannes von Plieningen (* 1454– † 1506), doctor in Roman and ecclesiastical law, family of the later Pope Julius II (1503–1513), canon in Worms and provost of Mosbach , a grandson of the elder Dietrich, Hans Dietrich von Plieningen (* 1505– † 1570) was the Württemberg court master.

In the course of the 16th century, the Plieningen family succeeded in increasing their Württemberg estates and fiefs. The acquisition of the second half of Kleinbottwar belongs here, in Kleinbottwar the St. George's Church was built in the 1490s , which in future served as the burial place of the Plieningers. The Hohenstein Castle and the Wart Estate also came to the Pliening family. The fiefdom of Hohenstein was returned to the Duke of Württemberg in 1641, after the death of the last male Plieninger Eitelhans (* 1593– † 1645) the rule of Schaubeck and Kleinbottwar passed to three daughters and their husbands (1645), in 1805 this became the knight's canton Kocher incorporated aristocracy through mediatized and in Württemberg.
