Ownership
The house of Oettingen was split into three sub-counties in 1694:
- the Oettingen-Spielberg line;
- the Oettingen-Wallerstein line (prince 1774);
- the Oettingen-Baldern line.
The county of Oettingen-Spielberg, which belonged to the Swabian Empire , was subdivided into the upper offices of Aufkirchen , Dürrwangen , Mönchsroth , Oettingen and Spielberg , the Hochaltingen nursing office and the knighthood of Schwendi. In addition, there was state sovereignty over the Johanniterkommende Kleinerdlingen and the subjects of the Regensburg monastery of St. Clara in Utzwingen . The almost 20,000 inhabitants lived in the city of Oettingen, in 64 villages, 24 hamlets and 26 farms on an area of around 500 square kilometers.
Career
Because his father was able to broaden the financial basis of his Spielberg house through his marriage to Maria Johanna Margarethe von Schwendi, who brought in the Schwendi and Achstetten estates , he made further acquisitions, which led to the elevation to the prince status.
Johann Aloys I. zu Oettingen-Spielberg was able to continue the acquisition policy of his father after the inheritance from 1737 and in 1742 acquired the goods of the secularized Benedictine Abbey of Mönchsroth and in 1764 the rule of Hochaltingen .
After he had only daughters as offspring and his wife died a week after the birth of the third daughter, the government of the principality was passed on to his nephew Johann Aloys II of Oettingen-Oettingen and Oettingen-Spielberg (born April 16, 1758 in Schwendi; † June 27, 1797 in Neuburg an der Donau ).
