Lutz Schott von Schottenstein
Lutz Schott von Schottenstein († between June and September 1484 in Nuremberg ), a Franconian nobleman from the Upper Main from the Schott von Schottenstein family , was in the military service of Count Palatine Friedrich the Victorious . This appointed Lutz Schott as bailiff for the town of Weinsberg . In the spring of 1460, in the course of Emperor Friedrich III. against the Palatinate Elector Friedrich I proclaimed Imperial War Count Ulrich V. von Württemberg Weinsberg with 2000–3000 men. With the support of Heilbronn and Wimpfen, Lutz Schott successfully defended the city, with two knights, 60 other men, as well as Hans von Rechberg and a Count von Helfenstein falling from the attackers .
In 1470 Schott captured Boxberg Castle on behalf of the Count Palatine . For his great military services, he received Hornberg Castle , which he bought in 1464, as a fief. Because of the morganatic marriage that Frederick the Victorious had entered into with Klara Dett, which was, however, a state secret, the two of them fell apart. Finally, Friedrich also mistrusted Lutz Schott because the Count Palatine suspected that he was in secret negotiations with his political opponents.
Lutz Schott was chased from Hornberg in 1474. The cathedral chapter of Würzburg appointed him as a bailiff on the Hinterfrankenberg , where he befriended the von Absberg family , who sat in the neighboring castle of Vorderfrankenberg . There his son Konrad married Dorothea von Absberg, the sister of the later notorious Hans Thomas von Absberg . When Hinterfrankenberg Castle was destroyed shortly afterwards on behalf of the Margrave of Brandenburg, Lutz Schott moved back to Lichtenfels am Main. There he became a follower of Duke Albrecht of Saxony . His new residence was also destroyed after an explosion as a result of a feud with the noble family von Schaumberg . When his sons were drying powder there, it accidentally caught fire, killing nine people.
Lutz Schott died in Nuremberg between June and September 1484. His wife and son Konrad in 1504 donated a soul mass for him in Staffelstein .
