Origin and Distribution

The headquarter that gave it its name was Neuberg, today Podhradí u Aše . Name variants are N (e) itberg, Ney (d) berg (k), Nyperch or Neipperg. The family coat of arms is identical to that of the originally neighboring noble families of Haslau and Raitenbach , which suggests a tribal relationship. The Neubergers who settled in Schönberg am Kapellenberg named themselves after this place from Schönberg. They came as Reichsministeriale in the area and built a castle with a round tower, which is now in ruins. They owned free float in Vogtland and Egerland , as well as the Selb and Asch markets , today Aš (see also Ascher Ländchen ). They also sat on the Elster manor , including the Elster ring wall . Another line was wealthy in Brambach . In the late period of the sex they appeared in several feuds. The Neuberg feud was directed from 1361 against the related Sparnecker . In 1380 Hans von Neuberg was among the supporters of the bailiffs and the Meissnian margrave in the Guttenberg feud , a little later also in the feud against the imperial city of Eger , today Cheb . In the Book of Afflictions , Friedrich von Neuberg stands out in particular , whose statements were recorded under torture and revealed important connections. The ancestral land of the Neubergers passed to the von Zedtwitz family in 1390 .
Neuberg feud
The Neuberg feud was a feud of Konrad von Neuberg, other family members and their entourage against the brothers Erhard, Friedrich and Babo von Sparneck and their followers. The brothers were sons of Rüdiger von Sparneck . The feud broke out despite the fact that both families were linked by marriage. In 1361, the Sparneckers pledged Sparneck Castle with extensive possessions to Konrad von Neuberg. The fourth brother Hans, who founded the Sparnecker line at Burg Stein thanks to his father's acquisition, also triggered tensions within the family with the pledge. The conflict with the Neubergers broke out because of the jurisdiction in Münchberg . The feud claimed the wounded and prisoners on both sides. One of Konrad's followers was slain. An arbitration tribunal in 1368 granted Konrad von Neuberg's claims to jurisdiction, unless Hans von Sparneck still had rights that he should explain to the Cheb council. The prisoners on both sides were released and Erhard von Sparneck compensated the deceased's widow. A short time later, however, Konrad sold his property, which had not been released, to the emperor and he exchanged it with the Sparneck brothers in 1370 for half of them at the Schönbacher Ländchen . In 2007, the feud was the template for a production by the Waldstein rock stage .
