The coat of arms of the spoonwood (1605 - Siebmacher )

The spoon wood from Kolberg (also: spoon wood from Colberg ) are a patrician family of the imperial city of Nuremberg . From 1440, with short interruptions, the spoonwoods were represented in the “Inner Council” until the end of the imperial city period in 1806 and, according to the dance statute, belonged to the “first approved” sexes eligible for advice.

history

The origin of the spoon wood (also: Loeffelholz, Löffelholtz or Loeffelholtz) can be proven for the first time in the 13th century as ministerials of the bishops of Bamberg . In the 14th and early 15th centuries they were among the leading councilors in Bamberg and were part of the marriage circle of the Bamberg bishops' servants. Due to the fighting between the bishops and the Bamberg citizenship, they left Bamberg and moved to Nuremberg around 1420 . Burkhard and Hans Löffelholz were the first representatives of the family in Nuremberg. In 1440 the family appointed Hans the Elder as the first council member in the small council , which resulted in admission to the ruling Nuremberg patriciate .

Kolberg Castle 1721

In the Landshut War of Succession , the field captain Thomasöffelholz (1472–1527) successfully led the troops of Duke Albrecht IV and was rewarded in recognition with Kolberg Castle in Altötting , which was taken from the expropriated property of Wolfgang Kolberger , the disgraced Chancellor George the Rich of Bavaria. Landshut came from. The family has called themselves after the castle ever since; In 1512 the addition was recognized as a title of nobility. Wilhelm Loeffelholz and his children remained masters on Kolberg until 1564, which was then sold. Their headquarters in Nuremberg was the Gibitzenhof manor from 1455 to 1945 .

Members of the sex were from the 18th century, because of the ownership of Mühlendorf and Erlau ( condominium possession ), members of the knight canton Steigerwald of the Franconian knight circle and thus imperial knights . As early as the 17th century, a branch of the family was probably registered in the knightly canton of Gebürg .

Georg Wilhelmöffelholz von Kolberg (1661–1719) was an imperial colonel in the Turkish Wars under Prince Eugene of Savoy . For his defense of the fortress Arad , which he fought from his own funds from 1701–1704, he was raised to the status of imperial baron in 1708 and appointed lieutenant general field marshal, in 1716 he became field master general. The early convert to Catholicism was buried in the Loreto Chapel of Matthias Church (Budapest) .

In 1813, the spoon wood from Kolberg were enrolled in the baron class of the Bavarian nobility.

coat of arms

The family coat of arms of the spoon wood is a silver, striding sheep or lamb in red. The crest is a red, silver-tucked tournament hat from which a red wing, sprinkled with silver linden leaves and covered with a silver lamb, grows. The helmet covers are red and silver. (The coat of arms should not be confused with the very similar one of the Nuremberg patrician family Lemmel, which died out in 1513. )

The enlarged coat of arms is quartered: fields 1 and 4 in red a silver, striding sheep (lamb, family coat of arms). Fields 2 and 3 show a blue diagonal right bar in silver, covered with three silver pointed hats with cuffs ( Jewish hats ) placed after the figure . This second element was given to Knight Thomasöffelholz, captain in the service of the Dukes of Bavaria, counselor and curator of Braunau , on August 2, 1515 as an improvement in the coat of arms of Emperor Maximilian I as a reward for loyal service, giving him "more than 200 years of nobility "was confirmed. The Jewish hats are the coat of arms of the extinct Bavarian knight Judmann von Affecking , a Lower Bavarian aristocratic tournament family that died out in 1497.
