Family history

The gender must not be confused with the Middle Rhine prehistoric noble family Heddesdorff with another coat of arms and the parent company of Heddesdorf (documented as Crafto de Hetensdorf in 1218 ), which went out towards the end of the 19th century and was called Hedinstorff in the 14th century , while the one discussed here is the same Time similar to when Hedinsdorf chartered .

Originally the von Hettersdorf were vassals of the Archbishopric Mainz , but then spread to the cantons of Rhön-Werra and Odenwald next to the Lower Rhine River . Like many Catholic Rhenish families, they only turned to Franconia after the Reformation . By Hettersorf as members of the imperial knights were in the 17th century in kurmainzischen , high pin Wurzburg and fuldischen services. The male line of the family died out in 1829, and the name and coat of arms were combined with the von Buddenbrock family through a daughter .

The noble Hettersdorf family is proven to be the owner of the area on which the Wambolt Castle in Groß-Umstadt stands today as early as 1036 . In 1430 it passed to Hans Wambolt von Umstadt , Johanna von Hettersdorf's husband. In the same place they owned the Heddersdorf'schen Adelshof from 1570 until the Umstädter line died out in 1658 . At the same time the von Hettersdorf shared ownership rights in the Bachgau until the 17th century .

In the early 14th century, as electoral Mainz vassals , the family appeared in Bessenbach near Aschaffenburg, can be traced in the area as lords of Waldaschaff since 1326 , and was therefore also called von Hettersdorf auf Bessenbach . Between 1430 and 1443, Hans von Hettersdorf von Mainz was enfeoffed with Mulen Castle in the Elsava Valley . In the village of Unterbessenbach, the family built their ancestral seat, Castle Unterbessenbach, in the 16th century . In 1658 the nobles rose to the baron status .

Georg Adolf von Hettersdorf († 1711), Hochstift Würzburg Privy Councilor , and Oberamtmann zu Waldaschach , later in Rothenfels , married Anna Dorothea Hundt von Saulheim . Her father's branch of the family had the Rhine-Hessian village of Lörzweiler from Kurmainz , which was now transferred to Georg Adolf von Hettersdorf. Until the end of the feudal period, the barons of Hettersdorf remained local lords in Lörzweiler, who also adopted their family coat of arms as the municipal coat of arms. The family coat of arms can also be found integrated into the outer wall of the Church of St. Michael (Lörzweiler) .

His sons Franz Rudolph von Hettersdorf (1675–1729) and Johann Adolph von Hettersdorf (1678–1727) were cathedral capitals in Worms and Würzburg . The former donated a preserved altar for the Worms Cathedral , as well as a still existing altar for the collegiate church St. Burkard in Würzburg .

The castle and church of Stöckach in Lower Franconia were built by the von Hettersdorf family after 1725. Joseph von Hettersdorf was the last provost of Blankenau Abbey near Fulda until 1802 , while Emmerich Joseph Otto von Hettersdorf (1766–1830) was canon and composer. The Munich Archbishop Lothar Anselm von Gebsattel (1761-1846) had a baroness von Hettersdorf as his mother.

Heinrich Freiherr von Hettersdorf, royal Bavarian chancellery director in Innsbruck , was entered in 1814, Franz Christoph Lothar Anselm Aloys Freiherr von Hettersdorff, on Unterbessenbach, formerly the Electorate of Mainz chamberlain, and in 1816 was entered with his brother in the royal Bavarian aristocratic register of the baron class.

Chamberlain Franz Philipp von Hettersdorff († 1829), owner of Ober- and Nieder-Wabnitz bei Oels , had to give up the original castle of Unterbessenbach in 1806 due to financial difficulties. His daughter Eleonore Franziska (1809-1891), the last offspring of the family, married the Prussian chamberlain Alexis Freiherr von Buddenbrock (1803-1862) in Breslau on January 7, 1829 , who took over the father-in-law of Ober- and Nieder-Wabnitz. At his request, a royal Prussian name association with the barons of Hettersdorff was achieved in 1852 and the Buddenbrock family coat of arms was also combined with that of Hettersdorff. One of her sons was General Mortimer von Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff (1844–1914), most recently in command of Strasbourg . The Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff family has flourished to the present day. Mortimer's nephew, the Mainz zoologist Wolfgang von Buddenbrock-Hettersdorff († 1964), is one of the most well-known family members of recent times.
