history
The family was first mentioned in 1106, a reliable source mentions them for the first time in 1299. Originally the family is said to be traced back to the lineage of the Brümsi (also Brymsi ), who are said to have immigrated from Maienfeld in the canton of Graubünden .
Numerous mentions in documents after 1300 attest to the wide spread of the family. In the Battle of Sempach in 1386, Wilhelm and Eberhard (father and son) and many others from Schaffhausen and the surrounding area were killed.
Knight Wilhelm im Thurn (* 1390), son of Eberhard, is mentioned in a document from 1409, which attests to the purchase of the Gutenburg near Waldshut . The castle remained in the family's possession for 32 years. They had goods and rights in Ühlingen (1329), Dettighofen , Bettmaringen , and Jestetten . In 1323 Hans Im Thurn became abbot of the Allerheiligen monastery in Schaffhausen , he died in 1333. Wilhelm im Thurn, Ritter, Herr zu Gutenburg, gave the Allerheiligen monastery several items from his great tenth in Bachenbülach in Zurichgau in 1394. He again received several fiefs and freedoms from Graf Johann von Lupfen 1399. First of all, he had wife Anna, a baroness of Uzingen (Ühlingen), who gave birth to a son, named Eberhard; after this he took Elisabetha Schnewelin Schnewlin von Landeck as his wife. Margaretha im Thurn was prioress of the Berau monastery in 1418 , Clara im Thurn was master there in 1464 and in 1774 Anna im Thurn is named as master.

The Ingeram Codex (around 1440) shows with Figure 133 the coat of arms of the Im Thurn, (the auxiliary herald Ingeram has obviously confused the inscription with the coat of arms of the von Thurn), the Im Thurn were thus a member of the tournament society in the Leitbracken of Swabia, a noble society .

In 1515 Hans Im Thurn zur Haselstauden fell in the battle of Marignano .

Among his descendants were the Banneret , bailiff , city treasurer and school Mr. Hans Im Thurn-Stokar . He was married to Margarethe Stokar (1544–1598).

The son Hans Im Thurn-Peyer , married to Barbara Peyer zum Weinberg, was mayor of Schaffhausen from 1632 to 1648. An impressive testimony to those days comes from him: his diary from 1590 to 1648, kept in the Schaffhausen State Archives .
Eberhard Im Thurn was Vogt zu Büsingen , he had a decisive influence on the history of this place. Up until the French Revolution , the Im Thurn were bailiffs and court lords of Thayngen .
