Rumpenheim (noble family)
The lords of Rumpenheim were a German aristocratic family based in Rumpenheim , today a district of Offenbach am Main . They were initially vassals of the Lords of Hagen-Münzenberg , then for about 300 years of the Lords and later Counts of Hanau .
history
They owned Rumpenheim before the 13th century. At the end of the 13th century, together with the Lords of Heusenstamm , they received the afterfief over Rumpenheim from the Lords of Hanau , who had it as a fiefdom from the Archbishop of Mainz and Elector . The Rumpenheimers are in all probability related to the gentlemen from Heusenstamm. Their common ancestors had rich estates in the former Maingau . Presumably they descend from the old Maingaugrafen and are therefore related to the influential gentlemen of Hagenhausen-Eppstein . They come from another theory by the von Hagen-Münzenbergs. This theory is based on similarities in the coats of arms of the two families. Nothing is known about the exact location of their residence, but the headquarters were undoubtedly in Rumpenheim.
The von Rumpenheim family with Ebernhard von Rumpenheim is mentioned for the first time in 1210. In 1401 Günter von Rumpenheim renounced his fief and Reinhard II von Hanau enfeoffed Frank von Kronberg with it in 1409 . From Clas von Rumpenheim a court seal on a document dated October 13, 1430 has been received. Also preserved is a court seal on a document dated September 10, 1466 from Ludwig von Rumpenheim, with whose death the family died out in 1531. They served the Hanauers as castle men . Some family members worked as mayors , cellars , abbesses , judges, bailiffs or property administrators and have also become Frankfurt citizens.
Worth knowing
The Landgraves of Hessen-Kassel-Rumpenheim , not related to the medieval Rumpenheimer family, represent the older of the two still existing lines of the Hessian Princely House today and are identified by the addition of "Rumpenheim".
