Küdorfer
The Küdorfer were one of the oldest patrician families in the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned as witnesses of a donation of real estate to the Nuremberg Elisabethspital in 1236. They were probably represented from the beginning of the council records, but certainly from 1318 to 1369 in the inner council .
history
The Küdorfer (also: Kuedorffer , Küedorffer or Kühedörffer von Kühdorf ) came from the ministry or the knighthood around Schwabach (see also list of Franconian knight families ). The family tree of the knight family goes back to the 12th century. Its name is derived from its headquarters, Kühedorf bei Büchenbach . Here they built a castle, which was almost completely destroyed by the Nuremberg troops in 1450. They left Nuremberg around 1400 and married into the Frankish nobility. In 1418 Konrad Küdorfer was sued before the Imperial Regional Court of the Burggraftum Nuremberg for a loan that Konrad Geuder and a Schwabach merchant had given him in Paris. With Lorenz von Kühedorf, the family died out in 1599.
