Under the rule Schwarzenberg (as gefürstete Landgraviate Klettgau called) is the the house Schwarzenberg in the person of Prince Ferdinand zu Schwarzenberg in 1687 by the Count of Sulz inherited Landgraviate Klettgau , which in 1694 by Emperor Leopold I was raised to the princely Landgraviate. The sovereignty of the princes of Schwarzenberg ended in 1806 with mediatization ; the rulership of the von Schwarzenbergs ended in 1812 with the sale of the class and landlord rights to the Grand Duchy of Baden . The seat of rule was Tiengen Castle , and at times also Jestetten Castle .
Imperial legal position
The princes had no direct seat in the Reichsfürstenrat, but one on the Swabian count bank in the Reichsfürstenkollegium, d. H. the respective prince could only exert influence indirectly through the count bank - he had a curiate vote . The admission to the Imperial Princes' College recommended by the Emperor with its own seat and its own voice ( virile voice ) did not take place.
In Swabian Circle , however, Schwarzenberg was due Klettgau a Virilstimme on the prince Bank, but what you increasing the circle attack accept - that pay more money for the tasks of the Empire circle - had. In contemporary publications, the voice is usually called "Schwarzenberg because of Klettgau".
Independent of the Klettgau, the Schwarzenberg family had the 91st vote (virile vote) in the Imperial Council of Princes and a curate vote in the Franconian Counts' College because of the rule of Seinsheim since 1674.
coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Barons von Seinsheim (later named Schwarzenberg) originally consisted of a silver shield with blue stripes. In 1599 Count Adolf von Schwarzenberg added a Turkish head to his coat of arms with a raven pecking out its eyes.
In 1688, after the Sulzian inheritance, the princes of Schwarzenberg were given the right to use their title and to add the three red tips from the arms of the Counts of Sulz to the coat of arms. The burning torch represents the reign of Brandis; the heart shield shows a tower on a black mountain and three golden sheaves - the coat of arms of the actual Principality of Schwarzenberg.
The Schwarzenberg motto was "Nil Nisi Rectum", which means "either right or not at all".
The end of the Schwarzenberg rule in Klettgau
While the Napoleonic reorganization of the German southwest had already begun and the Landgraves of Klettgau had already lost their sovereignty over the places of Klettgau belonging to Zurich and Schaffhausen in 1801/03, the Schwarzenbergs were still negotiating a treaty with their Fürstenberg neighbors in 1806 to replace Fürstenberg rights in the Tiengen area.
In 1806, the Rhine Confederation Act brought about the mediatization of the Schwarzenberg rule, and sovereignty over the entire area fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden .
In 1812 Prince Joseph von Schwarzenberg also sold the civil rights and landlord rights to the Grand Duchy of Baden .
