Coat of arms of the vine

Rebstock (also de Rebstock or Rebstöck) is the name of an old Strasbourg patrician and noble family. The lords and barons of Rebstock belonged to the Alsatian nobility.

history

The family with Konrad Rebstock is mentioned for the first time in a document, named in 1239 and 1240 as councilor of Strasbourg. The uninterrupted family line begins with Nikolaus Rebstock, who died in Strasbourg in 1266. Quite a few members of the family belonged to the patriciate of the free imperial city of Strasbourg, that is, to the genders eligible for regiment. As early as the 15th century, the Rebstock were registered with the Ortenau Imperial Knighthood. The family had imperial immediacy and was therefore directly subordinate to the emperor. She produced Strasbourg masters and burgraves , as well as Maria Magdalena, an abbess of Andlau Abbey in the imperial prince 's position, who died in 1609. With her brother Johann Gabriel, the male line of the aristocratic family entitled to succession went out in 1619 .
