Heudorf (noble family)
That since the 13th century in documents testified knights of Heudorf (also Houdorf, Höwdorff, Hödorf or Heydorf), the Swabian nobility belonging, its headquarters was in the now-defunct castle in Heudorf far from Stockach in Hegau of the extensive and was the seat and powerful noble family. Due to the widespread place name Heudorf in the region (for example Heudorf im Hegau , Heudorf bei Meßkirch , Heudorf bei Dürmentingen or Heudorf bei Scheer ), it is difficult to clearly assign the noble von Heudorf family as the original namesake for the place name Heudorf.
history
In 1262 Hainricus de Houdorf is mentioned in a document. The brothers Hainricus and Burchardus de Hödorf in 1288 as knightly ministerials of Mangold von Nellenburg . Lords of Heudorf were an "advisable" family of the city of Überlingen and also appear in several cities in the Lake Constance area. Berchtold von Hödorf in Pfullendorf is mentioned around 1280 . Albert von Höwdorff, citizen in Überlingen, councilor in 1291, enfeoffed with goods in Bischoffingen by the Lords of Bodman in 1282 . The brothers Heinricus and Albertus de Hödorf received the castle hat ("Custodia castri") from the Bishop of Constance in 1303 over Walsperg ( Waldsberg , now ruins near Krumbach , part of the municipality of Sauldorf ). Heinrich and Berthold von Heudorf bought an estate in Garmenswiler ( Gallmannsweil ) and Vogtrechte in Schwandorf in 1346 , and in 1353 the "Stuckihof" in Krumbach as a fiefdom of Reichenau . In 1356 Waldsberg Castle, which had been transferred to the brothers Ortolf and Heinrich von Heudorf, is pledged to Bilgri von Heudorf. In 1354 Heinrich Ritter von Heudorf was lord of the monastery in Salem . In 1363 Johann von Heudorf received the Reichenau fief of the late Heinz von Heudorf. Ulrich and Albert von Heudorf address the big tithe in Bettmaringen in 1377 . In 1386 Conrad, Dietrich and Hans von Heudorf died in the battle of Sempach . Around 1406 knight Bilgeri von Heudorf is mentioned in documents as the son of Bilgeri the Elder von Heudorf and Katharina von Randegg and in 1429 Hans von Haidorf in Waldsberg. Hans von Heudorf, resident in Mettenbuch, was enfeoffed in 1413 by the Roman-German King Sigismund . Heinrich Hödorffer was free judge in Hegau and Madach in 1412 and 1415. In 1424 Hans von Heudorf was mayor of Überlingen.
From now on, the family is divided into several main lines, such as the lines (family tables) Heudorf zu Schenkenberg, Aulfingen and Waldsberg. Hans Conrad von Heudorf, Fürstlich Kemptenscher Rat and Vogt zu Sulzberg is, as a result of the emigration of his son Christoph Friedrich von Heudorf (early 16th century), founder of a Tyrolean line. This moved to what was then Tyrol and was enfeoffed in 1550 by the Bishopric Trient with the Ursäna Castle in Ossana auf dem Nons and in 1555 by the Bishopric Brixen with the Gärnstein Castle near Latzvons . Fortunat von Heudorf bought the Obermontan Castle from the secret council of Emperor Maximilian, Stredele . In 1647 the historian Count Maximilian von Mohr acquired the castle, which was apparently in decline .
