Rafter coats of arms of the Lords of First and the Lords of Nehren

The Lords of Nehren were a family of lower nobility with ancestral seat in Nehren near Tübingen . They were connected to the Horwer and Leschers from Kilchberg .

History and important representatives of the noble family

According to the official district description from 1972, the first mention of a member of the family dates back to 1283, but no other sources are known.

Reinhard von Nehren is mentioned in a document in 1304.

Hugo von First was the second eldest son of the lower nobleman Krafft von Virste , probably a Zoller feudal man who sat at First Castle in Öschingen . When his father died in 1305, he inherited Nehren Castle and the village of Nehren, while his older brother received First Castle and the village of Öschingen. Since then, Hugo has called himself "Hug der Nerer von Neran". He presumably lived at Nehren Castle until his death.

The Neri were soon forced to mortgage or sell parts of their property. They then moved to the surrounding cities.

In 1393, Rüdiger Nerer sold the remaining property in the village of Nehren to the Herter von Dusslingen family . Rüdiger's younger brother Hans became a chaplain and later rector of Ofterdingen until 1437.

Renhard der Nehrer († 1419) carried the rafter coat of arms of the Lords of First.

The male line of the family died out in 1441.

Document mentions

On May 1, 1334, Hugo der Nerer took on a guarantee that Diemo and Friedrich, called the Herter, would use the goods they had received from their uncle Anselm von Hailfingen with the approval of his sons Konrad and Heinrich 4 Malter Korn, 4 Malter rye, 10 shillings, 1 goose, 2 autumn hens and 50 eggs from Rüdiger's farm in Hirschau and 10 shillings from the tavern there sold to the Bebenhausen monastery for 80 pounds of Heller .

On January 21, 1364, Klaus Horwer and his wife Elisabeth, the Nererin, the late Hug Nerer's daughter, sold 1 pound of Heller from their farm, which Bugg Blum had built, for 20 pounds of Heller at the altar of the early mass in Ofterdingen on the mountain.

On April 22nd, 1414 the priest Hans von Nehren, early knife in Ofterdingen, created a letter of inheritance for Benz Amblung from Ofterdingen for 2 Jauchert Acker in the Maisenhardter Hof.

coat of arms

The Nerer carried the Lescher coat of arms with a rafter, which is perhaps related to the marriages of Adelheid Nererin with Heinrich Lescher and the daughter Reinhards von Nehren with Konrad Lescher von Kilchberg.
