List of Friedberg Burgmann families

The Friedberger Burgmannenfamilien list includes all knightly noble families, of which members are documented as part of the castle team in the Wetterau Reichsburg Friedberg . This part of the imperial knighthood, organized as a cooperative, was part of the imperial burgraviate Friedberg in the Holy Roman Empire .

Former Burgmannen houses within Friedberg Castle.

The castle team can already be understood as a cooperative in the first documents of the early 13th century . The surrounding wealthy families of the lower nobility of the region gathered in their ranks . In the Middle Ages these initially consisted of the knight nobility of the Wetterau . The number of castle men fluctuated greatly over time. Originally a number of 20 to 30 Burgmanns can be assumed. By the end of the 13th century it should have risen to 40-50, it increased further to about 100 Burgmannen at the beginning of the 14th century. In 1400 there were 99 castle men from 49 different families, so that some families had more than two castle men at the same time. Around 50 were the rule in the 16th century until it bottomed out with only 19 Burgmanns in the mid-17th century. With the admission of new members, mainly from Roman Catholic families, it grew again and reached a high of 113 in 1783. Between 1473 and 1806 230 families can be identified who made Burgmannen.

For admission to the castle team an ancestral test was required, which had to show up to 32 knightly ancestors. In practice, however, the evidence was limited to four generations (16 knightly ancestors). The legal status of a castle man was hereditary.
