history
The family with Werner I. von Luternau was first mentioned in 1226 when he and a knight Elmigrin attacked the St. Urban monastery , lived badly there and also devastated its property in Langenthal . The Bishop of Constance, Konrad II of Tegerfelden , cast him under the church ban, whereupon he became repentant and reconciled with the convent. His wife Ata von Grünenberg , whose parents are not certain, donated the Schlatt estate near the Kaltenherberge near Roggwil BE to the abbey , which had been a hindrance to the expansion of the water system in the Langetental . Nevertheless, the monastery and the dominant landlords, the barons of Grünenberg, did not come to rest. Werner's sons Burkhard, Rudolf I and Werner II did not accept their parents' reconciliation with the monastery, and in 1255 they attacked and pillaged St. Urban again. It was not until 1277 that they sold all rights and goods in Langenthal to the Cistercians, from then on the market town was managed by mutual agreement between the monastery and the barons of Grünenberg. The conflict over supremacy in Langenthal was based on claims to the inheritance of the extinct barons of Langenstein : a documentary inadequate Heinz von Luternau was married to an Idda von Langenstein.
In 1259 Rudolf and Ulrich von Balm , Ulrich and Markward von Grünenberg, Cuno von Rüti and Werner and Rudolf von Luternau gave the Johanniterhaus Thunstetten their church set in Lotzwil , which they owned together.
In the 13th and 14th centuries, the family was in the service of the Kyburger and the Habsburgs. She owned manors in today's Lucerne hinterland. Rudolf I's grandson Petermann (* 1385; † 1430) came to the lords of Liebegg and Schöftland through his marriage to Margaretha von Liebegg .
At the beginning of the 15th century, the family owned the castle rights in Aarau , Zofingen , Willisau , Sursee and Lucerne . In 1429 the family received castle rights in Bern.
In 1602 the family sold their Liebegg headquarters and in 1653 the Schöftland estate. In the 17th century, the branch in Biel went out . The older main branch remained in the Bernese Grand Council until the French invasion in 1798. Some family members took over officer patents in Bern, Holland , France and Piedmont .
In 1901, the family died out with the death of Friedrich von Luternau in Bern. One branch of the family now lives in Texas .
