history

In 1281 the rule of Fronhofen-Hohenburg came to the Counts of Oettingen-Wallerstein . These pledged the rule to the Lords of Zipplingen for a short time in 1327. Before 1339 it came back to Oettingen-Wallerstein and was sold to the Schenkenstein tavern in 1455 . This relocated the seat of rule from Hohenburg to Bissingen . Since then, the term "Herrschaft Hohenburg-Bissingen" has been used.

Over Johann Waldemar, Lord of Lobkowitz and Hasenstein, the rule came in 1557 to the Landsknechtführer Sebastian Schertlin von Burtenbach . The new owner introduced the Reformation . Under Baron Konrad von Bemmelberg the Younger, who she was after the death of his father Konrad von Bemelberg the Younger. Ä. Acquired in 1568, the Counter Reformation was carried out. In 1651 the Bemmelbergs sold the rulership to Count Karl Fuchs von Fuchsberg, who, however, was unable to raise the purchase price. In 1660 the rule fell back to the Bemmelberg, who sold it in 1661 to the Counts of Oettingen-Wallerstein, who owned it until the end of the Old Empire .

Köbler writes: "In 1801 the rule of Bissingen im Ries belonged to the Swabian Empire through the Principality of Oettingen-Wallerstein , with the rule of Hohenburg to the canton Kocher of the Swabian knight circle."
