history
The field name Mansberg of the district of Dettingen unter Teck has been guaranteed since 1282. A reference by the Dukes of Teck from the 12th century to their ministerial could be an indication that this rule may be older than the documents show.
The Lords of Mansberg appear in documents from the Elchingen monastery near Ulm . In 1383 Duke Friedrich von Teck sold the village of Dettingen unter Teck to the Mansbergers, who thus acquired allodial property .
Alliances between the Dukes of Teck and the Habsburgs and the Counts of Hohenberg repeatedly led to conflicts with the Counts of Württemberg for the Lords of Mansberg as vassals of the Dukes of Teck , and due to the lost city war of 1388, the Lords of Mansberg came under Württemberg feudal sovereignty forced.
The Lords of Mansberg are also named as tenants of the Wehrstein in Fischingen near Sulz am Neckar , which was pledged to Burkard von Mansperg in 1400. Shortly thereafter, this seizure was converted into a fiefdom, but was returned to the Lords of Weitingen as early as 1419.
In 1415, the Lords of Mansberg sold their power (Vogtei) in Dettingen unter Teck to Württemberg.
Until 1425 the Lords of Mansberg owned properties in Bempflingen .
1536 was the last documented mention of the sex.
