Landenberg feud

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Landenberg feud between 1538 and 1542, the Lords of Landenberg and the imperial city of Rottweil fought each other.

The Landenberg rule Schramberg got into a decisive political crisis when the Lords von Landenberg had to deal with the imperial city of Rottweil . The starting point of the so-called Landenberg feud (1538–1542) were disputes over the so-called “Free Pürsch ” of the city of Rottweil, that is, that high court district around the imperial city, which extended to the edge of the Black Forest and thus crossed with the rule of Schramberg. In 1515 the Freie Pürsch was marked out by boundary stones after there had been conflicts between Hans II von Rechberg (1504–1526) and the imperial city in 1513/1514 . In the 1530s, Rottweil took an increasingly aggressive approach to expanding his territory (acquisition of Winzeln and Hochmössingen ); Rottweiler's approach also increasingly worried the Landenbergers.

In 1538 the Landenberg feud between the imperial city and the Landenbergers came about. After no diplomatic solution had been found, the imperial city police attacked the Schramberg villages of Sulgen and Heiligenbronn , which were located within the Pürsch. In addition, Hans von Landenberg (1526–1540) was captured and imprisoned in Rottweil. However, under pressure from the Swiss Confederation, a compromise was reached on March 22, 1539, which recognized the Rottweiler Pürsch in their extension to Tischneck, Sulgen, Hinteraichhalden and Brandsteig and provided for an annual change in the high jurisdiction in the area of ​​the Schramberg rule.

Since Hans' son Christoph von Landenberg (1540–1546) did not recognize the compromise found, he announced the feud to the imperial city on October 8, 1539. Incursions into the Rottweiler territory led to the destruction of the villages of Hochmössingen and Winzeln (July 1540) and attacks on Seedorf, Waldmössingen, Zimmer and Dunningen . Christoph, who was said to have Reformation inclinations on the part of the Catholic Habsburgs and the equally Catholic imperial city, came into the state ban on May 2, 1541 and finally stepped - somewhat paradoxically - as a mercenary leader a. a. in the service of Emperor Charles V (1519–1556). The Landenberg feud ended in 1542 through the mediation of the imperial city of Strasbourg; From 1544 Christoph von Landenberg tried to sell the Schramberg estate.
