Family coat of arms of the Kolb von Wartenberg

The Reichsministeriale Kolb (e) von Wartenberg named themselves after the Wartenberg Castle in Wartenberg near Kaiserslautern, which was destroyed in 1522. They had properties in Wachenheim , Kaiserslautern and Mettenheim .

In 1699, Emperor Leopold I raised Johann Casimir II. Kolb von Wartenberg , who later became the first Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia , to Count von Wartenberg , whereupon the Count in 1707 made the Kolb von Wartenberg estates, which were in what is now the Palatinate and Rheinhessen area Reichsgrafschaft with the name Wartenberg summarized. This was included in the Upper Rhine Reichskreis , whereby the family rose to the high nobility as counts directly under the Empire . His older half-sister was the "Jungfer Kolb", Maria Ursula Kolb von Wartenberg , the educator of Liselotte von der Pfalz .

history

Johann Casimir I. Kolb von Wartenberg (1584–1661), Palatinate-Simmerian Privy Councilor and governor, father of Maria Ursula Kolb von Wartenberg and Count Johann Casimir II. Kolb von Wartenberg
Johann Casimir II. Kolb von Wartenberg (1643–1712), the first count of Wartenberg

The von Wartenberg ministerial family on the left bank of the Rhine (Palatinate) stood out as the founders of castles in the 12th and 13th centuries . Since 1202 it appeared in a document with the surname Colbo , which later became the main name as Kolb . Related tribe who were lords of Randeck that led a similar coat of arms and in the 14th century castle men in Montabaur were, and the lords of Beilstein, as Bilenstein or Wilenstein occurred.

Johann Kasimir II. Kolb von Wartenberg , the first Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Prussia founded in 1701 , was also appointed royal Prussian Hereditary Postmaster General in 1702 . After its political end, the imperial count's house of Wartenberg sank back to regional importance.

The construction of a residential palace in Mettenheim in 1726 shows that his son was concentrating on keeping the court . His partly inherited, partly self-inflicted debt forced him in 1754 to pledge most of the County of Wartenberg to the Margrave of Baden. Under his successors Friedrich Karl (1772–1784) and Ludwig (1784–1792), both of whom were considered spendthrifts, the Wartenberg's financial situation continued to deteriorate. In order to avoid complete ruin, Count Friedrich Karl set about selling a quarter of the county in 1784. In a preliminary contract, the Count of Sickingen acquired Ellerstadt , the Wachenheimer Hof, the Aschbacher Hof and 25 percent of the co-ownership of the County of Wartenberg for 215,000 guilders . The sale was finally completed in 1788 for 300,000 guilders under the government of Count Ludwig Kolb von Wartenberg.

Former Reichsabbey Rot an der Rot

The partial sale of thewartberg holdings was followed in 1792 by the invading French revolutionary troops and the expulsion of the counts from the Palatinate. Mettenheim Castle was destroyed by French revolutionary troops in 1793 . In 1803, as compensation for the loss of his territory, Count Ludwig received the secularized Imperial Roth Abbey in Upper Swabia, which was named the County of Wartenberg-Roth. Ludwig died there childless in March 1818 as the last male representative of his sex, inherited by the step-sons of his sister Charlotte Luise Polyxena (1755-1844), who had married the ruling Count Franz I of Erbach-Erbach in 1785 . Since then, the Counts of Erbach-Erbach have called themselves Counts of Erbach-Erbach and von Wartenberg-Roth . Count Franz zu Erbach-Erbach and von Wartenberg-Roth sold the Rot Forstgut to the banker August von Finck junior at the end of the 20th century .

Ludwig, the last count of the Kolb von Wartenberg family

The county of Wartenberg belonged to the Upper Rhine Empire until the end of the 18th century . After taking the left bank of the Rhine (1794) by French revolutionary troops and the later integration into the French Republic ( 1797 / 1801 ) the county Wartenberg linksrheinisch location was disbanded. As compensation for the loss of their county, the Counts of Wartenberg were compensated in 1802 with the possessions of the Reichsabtei Rot an der Rot in Upper Swabia as well as pension payments. After the Congress of Vienna (1815) the former area of ​​the county came to the Kingdom of Bavaria ( Rhine district ) in 1816 , only Mettenheim in Rheinhessen came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse .
