Marshal von Ostheim
The Marschalk von Ostheim or Marschall von Ostheim were a Frankish noble family .
history
The head office is named after Ostheim vor der Rhön . The Marschalk von Ostheim was Ministeriale in the service of the Counts of Henneberg . The name "Marschalk" is derived from the hereditary court office of the marshal , which the family probably held in the county of Henneberg at the time.
At the beginning of the 14th century, the Ritter brothers Heinrich and Margold Marschalk are the owners of Wallbach Castle (sold in 1489). Parakeet and Wilhelm Marschalk acquired Walldorf in 1410 , where Walldorf Castle was built between 1706 and 1775 as a new seat. Waltershausen remained an important seat of the family for a long time, from 1466 supplemented by Rappershausen and from 1469 by Oberstadt . Trabelsdorf Castle also belonged to the Marschalken from 1664 to 1874 . Around 1550, Hans Marschalk built Obereßfeld Castle . In 1665, Eva Maria Magdalena Marschalk von Ostheim had Marisfeld Palace built, which was sold to Christian Friedrich von Stockmar in 1814 .
Bernhard Marschalk von Ostheim (1532–1604) had the inherited Marschalkschen Adelshof in Wasungen , until then a defensive and residential tower with bower and garden on the city wall, rebuilt as a representative half-timbered building in the Renaissance style and made it a noble women's monastery from 1601, that existed until 1931.
The family rose to the baron status. It died out in the male line in 1903.
