History and expansion

The Brandenburg council and secret secretary Balthasar Neu (also: "New") was elevated to the imperial nobility by Emperor Matthias on August 26, 1614 in Linz and received an improvement in the coat of arms . This was already used in various diplomatic missions in the service of Emperor Rudolf , including in the Turkish War . In the service of the Margrave of Ansbach he was entrusted with diplomatic missions, for example during the Thirty Years War . In 1619 he was with Count Ernst von Mansfeld envoy to Duke Karl Emanuel of Savoy in Turin , who had plans for the Roman-German imperial crown and the Kingdom of Bohemia . Then Neu went on alone to negotiate in Venice in the hope of being able to promote the Uniate cause . He already owned a farm in Dürrenmungenau, which the family owned even later . At the end of 1643 he received an imperial letter of protection as "had been a princely Brandenburg chamber councilor in Ansbach" . This means that it can at least be ruled out that he is identical with the imperial chancellery secretary and court servant Balthasar Neu, who, together with his brother Ulrich Neu, received a confirmation and renewal of the knightly nobility with feudal rights in Brussels as early as 1556 .

His descendants lived in Württemberg, mostly in high professional positions, while the branch that settled in Nuremberg in the 18th century also shows breaks in social position: the brothers, descended in the fourth member of Balthasar, grandsons of the ducal Württemberg provisions officer Cornelius Adam von Neu, and sons of Philipp Friedrich von Neu († 1770, since 1763 citizens of the imperial city of Nuremberg and beer innkeeper there), were Johann Philipp von Neu (1764–1849), major of the Landwehr and heir to Unterveilhof and Martin Wilhelm von Neu ( 1765–1834), member of the Board of Trustees of Ebrach Abbey . You were enrolled in the aristocratic class on December 7, 1812 after the aristocratic registers were established in the Kingdom of Bavaria .

Martin Wilhelm von Neu fell out with his son Johann Martin Philipp von Neu (* 1794) and disinherited him. He was an officer in the Chevauxleger Regiment Taxis until he was released at the age of 21, but subsequently lived as an almost penniless " privateer ". Most recently he lived with his uncle in Wöhrd and was dependent on the city's poor relief services. He died in 1849, a month before his uncle Johann Philipp von Neu. His stepmother Anna Elise von Neu, b. Scheuerpflug, died wealthy in Nuremberg at the end of 1850. She had appointed her niece Babette Scheuerpflug, who was more or less her foster child, to be the principal heiress, who had no children of her own, and the rest of the inheritance was divided among her own siblings and their children.

Her brother-in-law, the former major and privateer Johann Philipp von Neu, who died in 1849 at the age of 86, had appointed his adoptive son Joseph Hellgoth as a universal heir, but he left him only around 200 guilders.
