Dürmentingen rule

The rule Dürmentingen was a rule with seat in Dürmentingen , today a municipality in the district of Biberach ( Baden-Württemberg ). It belonged to the rule buses since the late Middle Ages to the domination complex of county Friedberg and the rule Scheer of the Stewards of Waldburg . In 1387 Habsburg pledged its rule Bussen, which also included the Bailiwick of Dürmentingen, to the Truchsessen von Waldburg. In 1454, the Bussen lordship acquired the status of man-hereditary ownership, so that this pledge could not be redeemed as long as the Waldburg family existed in the male line. In 1444/45 the Truchsessen in Dürmentingen acquired allodial property from the Lords of Hornstein-Hertenstein . In 1786, the Truchsessen sold the rule to the Princes of Thurn and Taxis , who thereby received the imperial , princely territory that legitimized their long-held membership in the Imperial Council of the Reichstag in Regensburg .

As part of the mediatization in 1806, the rule of Dürmentingen came under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Württemberg .
