The ancestral seat of the Knights of Lösnich was the castle of the same name in the small imperial estate of Lösnich on the Moselle in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district .

The Knights of Lösnich first appeared in a document in 1226 and became extinct with the death of Conrad von Lösnich, Lisa's only brother, around 1376 in their male line. No other siblings are known. Lisa was first mentioned in 1330 in connection with her marriage to Cuno VII of Pyrmont . Starting from a marriageable age between 12 and 20 years, Lisa reached an old age of 85-90 years for the average life expectancy in the Middle Ages of approx. 35 years until her death in 1399, and this during the time of the great European pandemic from 1347 to 1353, when a third of the then European population fell victim to the plague . After the early death of her first husband, Lisa (von Pyrmont) married Heinrich Beyer von Boppard (after 1351), an influential ministerial and lord of the castle of Boppard am Rhein.

origin

Lisa's parents were knight Conrad von Lösnich († around 1361) and Adelheid von Bruch († around 1339). Apart from her brother Conrad von Lösnich († around 1371), no other siblings are known. Her father Conrad von Lösnich was often called in as a witness and co-sealer in the document system since the beginning of the 14th century. He was one of the archbishop ministers of the Cologne and Trier archbishops from the lower knight nobility on the Middle Moselle. Adelheid von Bruch comes from Bruch Castle in the Eifel. Her parents were Theodorich von Bruch († before 1318) and probably Adelheid von Rodemachern († after 1338). The ancestral seat of this family was the castle of the same name.

Her first marriage was in 1330 with Cuno VII of Pyrmont, son of Heinrich Herr von Pyrmont. The ancestral seat of the Lords of Pyrmont was Pyrmont Castle on the Eltz near Münstermaifeld .

Marriage settlement

The marriage discussion between Lisa von Lösnich and Cuno VII. Von Pyrmont, in which all inheritance matters and Conrad's dowry to his daughter were documented, took place on October 13, 1330 in Zell on the Moselle. Conrad von Lösnich undertook to pay a dowry of 1000 pounds Heller to his daughter Lisa. With this sum, the courtyards at Missenich and Ahre pledged by Pyrmont to the Marienburg monastery were to be released and transferred to Lisa and Cuno. Lisa for her part renounced all inheritance rights to the possessions and income of her father Conrad von Lösnich. In addition to Conrad von Lösnich, Colin von Wittlich and the knights Conrad von Esch and Wilhelm von Urley were also witnesses of this discussion. The certificate was sealed by the knights Heinrich von der Leyen and Scheids von Dune. The pledging to the Marienburg Abbey was apparently released within a year. Petrissa, the master and the entire convent of the monastery confessed on September 13, 1331 that Conrad von Lösnich had paid the sum of 1000 pounds Heller, which he had promised his daughter Lisa as a so-called "marriage penny", to the monastery in order to use it to to solve the “Pyrmontic heirs” sold valid. Although, according to the agreement of the marriage meeting mentioned, Lisa should no longer have any inheritance rights to the lordship of Lösnich, in 1342, with the approval of Archbishop Baldwin of Trier, her father Conrad von Lösnich provided her with a number of goods that were feeble from the Archbishopric of Trier . These included the farm at Rachtig (Ratick) near Zeltingen with "accessories", the castle loan to Neuerburg near Wittlich, two vineyards at Erden and Lösnich , half a load of wine rent, pensions at 6 farms, an entire farm in Lösnich and a farm Arras Castle (near Alf on the Moselle) with all associated tithe . Lisa's brother Conrad was married to Idberga von Bornheim in 1348 , who was married to him for the third time.

Children from marriage

With Cuno VII von Pyrmont Lisa had three children, Heinrich, Cunigunde and Aleide. However, Cuno must have died very early, because in June 1347 Conrad Herr zu Lösnich appointed Messrs. Philipp Herr zu Schöneck and Friedrich the Elder, Herr zu Ehrenberg as guardians for his grandchildren Heinrich, Kunen and Aleide. Heinrich von Pyrmont, the son of Cuno's marriage with Lisa von Lösnich, received the former fiefs of his uncle Conrad von Lösnich in Erdener and Lösnich districts as early as 1371, which were feudal from Count Heinrich von Veldenz . The transfer of these fiefdoms probably happened as a result of the death of Conrad the Younger, the last male heir of the Lösnich family. This is supported by the fact that on August 15, 1371, the knight Conrad von Lösnich vouched for the knight Johann von Clotten and the Rhine Count Johann Widger von Dunen in a debt deal, but on January 6, 1372 Conrad Beyer, a son of Lisa von Lösnich from his second marriage, by Charles IV . received a pension on the "Zoll vom Fels", which had again accrued to the Reich through the death of Conrad von Lösnich. The lords of Pyrmont were not long involved in the Lösnich rule. On September 12, 1400, Heinrich von Pyrmont and the half belonging to him contested the wife of his only son Cuno IX, Grete von Schonenburg.

Descendants of the Pyrmont line

After the death of his father Heinrich IV. Von Pyrmont, Cuno VI sold. (?) on September 14, 1409, the paternal share of Lösnich for 1200 Rhenish guilders to his uncle Conrad Beyer and his sons Dietrich and Heinrich. However, he expressly reserved the right of repurchase for himself and his heirs, which was never redeemed. With that Conrad Beyer von Boppard came to the sole rule of the castle at Lösnich. The Beyer von Boppard remained the sole masters in Lösnich until 1598, when Georg Beyer von Boppard was killed by a Turkish bullet during the siege of Ofen at the age of only 33. The descendants of Lisa von Lösnich appear through the line of Pyrmont in many noble families of the Moselle and Rhineland nobility even after the male line died out through marriage. A line can also be traced back to living members of the Count's family von Kesselstatt. Note on the structure of the list: Lisa von Lösnich ...

Cuno IX. from Pyrmont and Ehrenberg

Cuno von Pirmont was married to Margaretha von Schönburg, who was a granddaughter and heir to the last Lord von Ehrenberg on the Ehrenburg near Brodenbach on the Lower Moselle. With this he inherited a fiefdom claim over the lordship of Ehrenberg. The marriage resulted in three sons and two daughters, Heinrich Johann and Friedrich. Cuno found his final resting place in 1447 together with his wife Margaretha in the St. Castor Church in Treis-Karden on the Moselle. Two late Gothic grave slabs made of red sandstone with an almost life-size representation of the couple can be admired today in the Karden Abbey Museum. The coats of arms shown on the grave slabs refer to the origin and relationship of the two from the Rhenish and Moselle nobility. There is the coat of arms of the Lösnich knight family, the female arm with hanging sleeve, holding a ring and fringed with small crosses as a reference to Lisa von Lösnich (von Pyrmont), Cuno's paternal grandmother. An inheritance comparison between the brothers Heinrich, Friedrich and Johann, established by Cuno IX in 1441, regulated a. a. that Friedrich should receive the pledged Pyrmonter share in Lösnich, which the brothers had to redeem together beforehand. The division of the estate led to differences between the brothers, which often ended up before the Kurtrier arbitration tribunal. This led so far that Heinrich VI. the imperial ban was imposed and the management of his property was transferred to Friedrich von Pyrmont. Heinrich's son of the same name, however, Heinrich VII. Von Pyrmont, enjoyed a high reputation with Elector Johann II. Von Trier. In 1495 he was raised to the rank of baron by the later Emperor Maximilian I. Elisabeth von Pyrmont emerged from her first marriage with Margarethe von Waldbott von Bassenheim . From the second marriage with Katharina von Mark the sons Eberhard and Johann.

Marriage to the von Eltz noble family

The male line of the von Pyrmont family ended in 1524 with the death of Johann von Pyrmont, who was canon in Trier. His brother Eberhard von Pyrmont (mentioned 1505–1514) died single and without children. The sister of the two, Elisabeth von Pyrmont, married to Philipp von Eltz , thus became the sole heir.

Marriage to the von der Leyen noble family

The son Heinrich von und zu Eltz († 1557) from the marriage of Philipp von Eltz with Elisabeth von Pyrmont was married to Johanna von Elter. A daughter from this marriage, Katharina von und zu Eltz († 1598), married Georg IV von der Leyen (1582). The von der Leyen family had their ancestral castle in Kobern-Gondorf near Koblenz. The son from this marriage, Hans Caspar von der Leyen (1592-1640) bears the title of Mr. zu Gondorf.

Marriage connection to the Freiherr von Metternich

Maria von der Leyen, the sister of Georg IV von der Leyen, married Johann Gerhard von Metternich , Herr zu Bourscheid (1614). From this marriage Wolf Heinrich von Metternich emerged, who acquired the lordship of Lösnich in 1673 by buying it from Franz Ernst von Chrichingen . Wolf Heinrich von Metternich was a descendant of Lisa von Lösnich in the 11th generation. His brother Lothar Friedrich von Metternich was born on September 29, 1617 at Bourscheid Castle in Luxembourg. He was Bishop of Speyer from 1652 to 1675 and Archbishop and Elector of Mainz and Bishop of Worms from 1673 to 1675 . He died in Mainz in 1675 and was buried in Mainz Cathedral . He was a great-grandson of Lisa von Lösnich in the 8th generation. Wolf Heinrich had 12 children, 4 sons and 8 daughters. His son Franz Wolfgang Nikolaus von Metternich, who died in 1690, became the canon in Mainz . Six of his eight daughters were found in the clergy. Maria Ursula von Metternich was abbess at the Machern monastery on the Moselle from 1680 until her death in 1727 . Fundamental new construction and renovation work on the monastery complex began under her.

Marriage to the Counts of Kesselstatt

Anna Maria Clara von Metternich, a daughter of Wolf Heinrich von Metternich and a descendant from the marriage relationship Pyrmont-Eltz in the 5th generation and of Lisa von Lösnich in the 12th generation, married Casimir Friedrich von Kesselstatt on November 27, 1690 . A son from this marriage, Joseph Franz von Kesselstatt (1695–1750), became canon in Mainz in 1729 and provost in Trier in 1743. The line from Kesselstatt to Rudolf Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt, the last feudal lord in Lösnich, who now lives with his family in Föhren Castle near Trier , runs through his brother Karl Friedrich Melchior Freiherr von Kesselstatt . He is a descendant of Lisa von Lösnich in the 21st generation.

Second marriage to Heinrich Beyer von Boppard

After the early death of Cunos VII von Pyrmont, Lisa married Heinrich Beyer von Boppard around 1351 . The Beyer von Boppard, a knightly dynasty that was honored early on, come from the imperial town of Boppard on the Rhine. Heinrich was also a feudal lord of Emperor Charles IV and, in 1358, mayor of Boppard. He attended the Reichstag in Nuremberg (1355/1356) and Metz (1356/1357) together with Archbishop Boemund von Trier. It was here that the most important constitutional document of the late medieval empire was adopted with the “ Golden Bull ”. Relations between the Beyern von Boppard and the Lösnichers seem to have existed before this marriage. As early as February 1347 Heinrich Beyer von Boppard was, together with Conrad von Lösnich, a member of a Cologne feudal court, which had the object of the re- assignment of the village of Hausen in the diocese of Mainz by the Cologne church . This marriage resulted in two sons, Heinrich and Conrad Beyer von Boppard. Lisa also outlived her second husband by 25 years. On May 7, 1376, an amicable comparison took place between her, the widow of knight Heinrich Beyer von Boppard on the one hand, and Heinrich Herr zu Pyrmont, Conrad Beyer and Heinrich Beyer brothers, their sons, on the other. Lisa transferred half of Wasen Lösnich with all hereditary estates and hereditary castle fiefs from the legacy of her brother "Conrad von Lösnich (Loisenich)". She awarded the other half of the estate to her sons. After her death, each of her sons was to be admitted to Conrad's inheritance without further ado.

Altar foundation in Marienberg monastery

The former Marienberg monastery in Boppard

Through her second husband, Lisa von Lösnich also had connections with the Marienberg monastery near Boppard on the Rhine . In November 1392 Archbishop Wernherr von Trier raised the St. Eucharist altar founded by Lisa von Pyrmont (von Lösnich), the widow of Heinrich Beyer von Boppard in the Marienberg monastery, to a “Beneficium Ecclesiasticum”.

Poor and Memoriam Foundation

Abbot Jofried of St. Matthias Monastery in Trier and Colonel of the Marienberg Monastery near Boppard confirmed on August 29, 1399 a foundation for the poor by Lisa von Pyrmont (von Lösnich) and the foundation of a memoriam (anniversary) for Lisa von Pyrmont and her deceased Husband Heinrich Beyer von Boppard. The poor foundation consisted of 200 florins and 5 vineyards, for which the sexton of the monastery was to give 12 skirts, 12 shirts and 12 pairs of shoes to the poor every year. However, Lisa no longer paid the 200 florins. On November 26, 1399, Conrad Beyer von Boppard took over the 200 florins to be paid by his mother in addition to 2 florins annual pension for the annual memory of his mother, who had since passed away. In 1392 Archbishop Wernherr von Trier confirmed that he had leased the villages of Oberstattfeld and Wydenbruch from Lisa von Lösnich, the widow of Pyrmont.

The grave slab of the married couple Heinrich VI. Beyer v. Boppard and Lisa v. Losnich

Lisa von Lösnich found her final resting place at the side of her 2nd husband Heinrich VI. Beyer von Boppard in the Marienberg monastery in Boppard. The grave slab of her resting place was one of the three most valuable grave monuments of the Marienberg monastery. It was sold in 1914 and came through the art trade to the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin (cat.no. AE 363-365), now the Bodemuseum. The red sandstone grave slabs for members of three successive generations of the Beyer von Boppard family were made around 1355, 1376/1390 and 1395 / 1421.99. The 312 × 167 cm slab shows the figures of the deceased, Heinrich VI. Beyer and his wife Lisa von Lösnich. Henry VI. died in 1376. The coats of arms are depicted in the four corners of the grave slab, of which those of Beyer von Boppard, von Lösnich and Waldbott can be recognized. Heinrich Beyer von Boppard, Lisas v. Losnich's second husband, in 1368 raised the rulership and castle of Lösnich to a Churköln man fief . The entry of this act in the Churköln man book led to the first written mention of the castle in Lösnich.

Continuation of the coat of arms from Lösnich - Beyer von Boppard

The Beyer von Boppard coat of arms was a black, red-crowned lion in silver. Conrad Beyer, one of the sons from his marriage to Lisa von Pyrmont (von Lösnich), shared the coat of arms with that of Losnich, which his mother Lisa led, when he was baronized. This coat of arms, originally a silver women's arm with hanging sleeves in red, was also used by those of Kröv, von Wolmeroth, von der Leyen, von Malberg and others. The coat of arms can also be found in other areas at an early stage, so that the bearers of it cannot always be inferred that they are related. A lovingly restored representation of the combined coat of arms of the Beyern von Boppard and von Lösnich can be found in the parish church of St. Martin in the Luxembourg municipality of Septfontaines on a keystone in the vault, which was completed in 1516. A similar representation can also be found in the Deanery Church Niederwiltz in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The tomb of the young, deceased Katharina von Wiltz from the year 1573, equipped with a total of 8 coats of arms, also shows the Beyer von Boppard coat of arms, augmented with the Lösnich coat of arms, as one of the ancestral samples. In the cloister of the former Boppard monastery Marienberg there is also a well-preserved coat of arms on the tombstone of the widow Kunigundis, who died in 1476, which also shows the motif of the Lösnich coat of arms motif of the hanging woman's sleeve. This is probably the gravestone of a great-granddaughter of Lisa von Lösnich and Heinrich VI. Beyer from Boppard. Georg Bernhard Beyer von Boppard, a grandson of Lisa von Lösnich and Heinrich VI. Beyer von Boppard in the 9th generation died in 1598 in the war against the Turks near Ofen (Budapest) in Hungary. He was the last male representative of his gender. A memorial was erected to him next to the main altar on the Gospel side of the monastery church. The church fell victim to a fire in 1802. The memorial is now considered lost. On this monument, in addition to the baron kneeling in his splendid armor with folded hands, his full coat of arms was depicted, the coat of arms of the Beyer von Boppard quartered with the coat of arms of the Knights of Lösnich. The continuation of the Lösnich coat of arms on the coat of arms motifs of the Beyer von Boppard and the Pyrmonter knight dynasty indicate that this Lösnich knight dynasty, which died out in the 14th century, must have been a respected family in the Moselle nobility.

Rizz Brotherhood

Lisa von Lösnich (von Pyrmont) was also a member of the Koblenz Rizza Brotherhood. Her name "Lisa von Piermont" is listed among several hundred people from Koblenz and the surrounding area in a list of members from the years 1390 to 1480. The bones of the blessed Rizza are still kept in a reliquary box on the high altar in the St. Castor Church . The Rizzaschrein in the north aisle of the St. Kastor Church in Koblenz was created in 1894 by the Koblenz artisan Meyer. According to legend, Rizza was a daughter of Louis the Pious. According to a report by the Koblenz citizenship from 1265, signs and miracles happened at her grave in St. Castor when she was invoked, such as the sudden healing of illnesses and ailments.

After Lisa von Pyrmont (Lösnich) died in 1399, Conrad Beyer von Boppard, her son from her second marriage to Heinrich Beyer von Boppard, followed her in the reign of Lösnich. Conrad's marriage to Maria von Parroye induced Conrad to move to Lorraine . Conrad Beyer von Boppard (1415–1459), a son from this marriage and grandson of Lisa von Lösnich, became provost and bishop in Metz .

Female descendants from the line of Conrad Beyer von Boppard and Lisa von Lösnich often entered into family relationships with the Lorraine and Moselle nobility through marriage.

Elisabeth von Sierck (née Beyer von Boppard)

Elisabeth (Lyse) Beyer von Boppard, a daughter of Heinrich Beyer von Boppard and granddaughter of Lisa von Lösnich, married Arnold VI. from Sierck . The von Sierck family lived in the Lorraine town of Sierck upstream of Trier. Arnold VI built Castle Meinsberg (Malbrouck) in the immediate vicinity of Castle Sierck from 1419 to 1434 .

Elector Jakob I. von Sierck

Jakob von Sierck, a son of Arnold VI. von Sierck and Elisabeth Beyer von Boppard, a great-grandson of Lisa von Lösnich, became Archbishop and Elector of Trier in 1439 . One of his contemporary companions was Cardinal Nikolaus von Kues , with whom he was in close contact. During Jakob von Sierck's tenure, an important spiritual institution was established near Bernkastel-Kues in Klausen (Eifel) . Construction of the pilgrimage church began here in 1447 and was consecrated by the archbishop in 1449.

Jakob von Sierck died in 1456 and was buried in the Liebfrauenkirche next to Trier Cathedral . His tomb is now in the Cathedral Museum in Trier . It was created by the Dutch sculptor Nikolaus Gerhaert von Leyden (1430–1473), an important artist of the German late Gothic. The artistically valuable monument shows as one of his early works the bishop laid out in his liturgical robes.

Provost Philipp von Sierck

Jacob's brother Philipp (1406–1492), another great-grandson of Lisa von Lösnich, became cathedral provost in Würzburg and Trier . Jakob himself was also coadjutor of the diocese of Metz in 1455/1456 , where, as already mentioned, his uncle Conrad Bayer von Boppard held the office of provost and bishop.

Katharina von Wiltz

The marriage of Claudia Beyer von Boppard (1563–1574), a great-granddaughter in the 9th generation of Lisa von Lösnich, with Johann von Wiltz (1563–1574) resulted in the connection to the von Wiltz family . The von Wiltz were based in the city of Wiltz in Luxembourg. Here in the old deanery church there is still the very well-preserved tomb of Katharina von Wiltz, who died on April 23, 1573 at the age of eight. The quartered coat of arms of the Beyer von Boppard and von Lösnich can also be found in the ancestral sample.

Johannetta von Wiltz

Johannetta was probably a sister of Katharina von Wiltz. From 1617 to 1622 she was abbess in the Abbey of Fraulautern in the Duchy of Lorraine . In the church of St. Maximin in Pachten, a district of Dillingen, there is an altar that she donated, the St. Joseph's Altar. Two coats of arms attached there refer to their families of origin. On the one hand, the coat of arms of the von Wiltz family and, on the other hand, the increased coat of arms of the Beyer von Boppard and von Lösnich families, as can also be found in Septfontaines (Simmern) and Wiltz in Luxembourg.

Hans Heinrich von Kerpen

Claudia von Wiltz, the daughter of Johann von Wiltz and Claudia Beyer von Boppard, married Hans Heinrich von Kerpen, Herr von Illingen . The real ancestral seat of the Kerpen family was Kerpen Castle near Daun. Anna von Kerpen (1608–1640), a daughter from this marriage, married Friedrich VII von Fürstenberg . Her brother Johann Walter von Kerpen joined the Order of St. John in 1620. A memorial stone of Johann Walter can be found in the town church in Lohr a. Main. According to the epitaph reports, he was violently killed in 1627. Johann Walter and Anna von Kerpen are also, through their paternal line from Kerpen, the great-great-grandson of a member of the Beyer von Boppard family. Great-great-grandfather Jakob von Kerpen (1462–1477) was married to Johanna Beyer von Boppard, a great-great-granddaughter of Lisa von Lösnich and Heinrich Beyer von Boppard. Anna gave her husband Friedrich VII. 15 children. Franz Wilhelm von Fürstenberg (1628–1688), one of her sons, and the 11th generation of Lisa von Lösnich's great-grandson, became a Teutonic Knight and Land Commander of the Westphalia district . Franz Wilhelm's brother Ferdinand von Fürstenberg (1626–1683) became Prince-Bishop of Paderborn in 1661 .

John the VI. from Rollingen (de Raville)

Through marriage, a connection to the Luxembourg noble family von Raville (von Rollingen) developed through the von Sierck line . The tomb of Johann VI. von Rollingen († 1540) in the choir of the Church of St. Martin in the Luxembourg town of Septfontaines is still very well preserved. Johann VI. is a great-great-great-grandson of Lisa von Lösnich. In the keystones of the vaulted ceiling in St. Martin is u. a. also the ancestry of John VI. pictured. Including the quartered coat of arms of the Beyer von Boppard and von Lösnich families.

Further development of the ownership structure of the Pyrmontic inheritance share of the Lösnich estate

The Pyrmontic third of the Lösnich rule, which Cuno IX von Pyrmont had sold to his uncle Conrad Beyer in 1409, was owned by the Junkers von Strasbach in 1476. In the following years, various Junker families appeared as landlords. These included the Schaflützel von Kerpen, the robes from Seinzfeld and the pistons from Wasenach and later also those from Lyser, the Raab von Bünderich, to name just a few. This third of the lordship of Lösnich, referred to as Junk's part, which had no shares or rights in the castle itself, was acquired in 1615/16 by Elector Lotharius von Metternich for his cousin Christoph von Chrichingen. Through his marriage to Anna Beyer von Boppard, the sister of Georg Beyer von Boppard, Christoph had taken the Lösnich dominion at the turn of the 16th century.
