Von Rühle were among the hostages of the French army during the occupation of Heilbronn in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1688. He and his family escaped with his family in June 1707 by fleeing to Miltenberg from a possible repeated hostage-taking when the French army passed through Württemberg during the War of Spanish Succession in 1707 and later on to Hanau.
