The coat of arms of the Oelhafen

The Oelhafen von Schöllenbach (also: Oelhafen von Schöllenbach on Rupprechtstein and Eismannsberg ) are a patrician family of the imperial city of Nuremberg - first mentioned in a document in 1363. They were co-opted into the patriciate in 1729, but before the end of the imperial city independence in 1808 no representative in send the Inner Council .

history

The origin of the Oelhafen is unclear, they are said to come from Zurich , where 1340, 1365 and 1366 Oelhafen are registered as regimental councils and Rueger Oelhafen was "guild master in the 8th guild according to the Christmas order" . The name is derived from the original coat of arms symbol, an oil can ( "Hafen" is an old Upper German-Swiss word for 'earthen vessel' or 'container'). They are said to have immigrated to Nördlingen via Lauingen . In Nördlingen, Heinrich Oelhafen, the first officially mentioned representative of the family in 1363, was a member of the local council. From Nördlinger Ries they branched out to Nuremberg, Leipzig and Breslau .

The first mentioned in Nuremberg, at the same time the most important representative and ancestor of the Franconian line of the family, was Sixtus I. Oelhafen (around 1466-1539). He was the chief secretary in the court chancellery of three emperors and kings. Friedrich III. awarded him and his brothers the hereditary imperial nobility including a new coat of arms (lion with oil jug) in 1489. In 1519 he also acquired Nuremberg citizenship and became a member of the greater council of the imperial city. In 1521 he came into contact with Martin Luther at the Diet in Worms and was so impressed by him that he sent Johann (1520–80), one of his sons from his second marriage, to study in Wittenberg, where he was in Luther's household from 1534–36 lived and made friends with Melanchthon . Sixtus commissioned Albrecht Dürer for his portrait ( Hans Schäufelein's workshop picture is in Würzburg today); Another portrait of Schäufelein (in the National Gallery of Art , Washington) is interpreted as also depicting Sixtus.

Similar to his father, the son Johann made a career as a lawyer and became city judge and ban judge in Nuremberg. Later oil ports also distinguished themselves as imperial city diplomats, including Johann Christoph (1574–1631) and Tobias (1601–66) and his son Georg Tobias (1632–85).

Although the Nördlingen patrician son Sixt I married into the Nuremberg patriciate in his first marriage in 1501 with Anna Pfinzing von Henfenfeld and in his second marriage in 1508 with Barbara Rieter von Kornburg , the dance statute of 1521 did not include the Oelhafen in the circle of advisable families for the ruling interior Advice . In 1546 the council recognized them as having jurisdiction, but only accepted them into the patriciate in 1729, shortly before the end of the imperial city period, together with the Gugel, Peßler, Scheurl, Thill and Waldstromer. However, they no longer provided a representative of the Inner Council .

Sixt I. Oelhafen participated in trades in Ilmenau (Thuringia) and bought the villages of Ober- and Unterschöllenbach in 1512/16 . In 1538 he directed in his will the pilot Chic Kung Schöllenbach one. Since then, the Oelhafen von Schöllenbach have been called .

1709 bought Christoph Elias (1675–1736), imperial city councilor, who in 1729 for himself and his heirs from Emperor Charles VI. obtained the co-optation diploma for the "noble families", the Hofmark Eismannsberg in the Nürnberger Land and had a new castle built there in 1726 (the old manor house was converted into an economy and brewery building and burned down in 1841). In Eismannsberg 1716-1859 established its own line.

His son Carl Christoph Oelhafen of Schöllenbach (1709-85) was 1,737 nurses of the Nuremberg offices Velden and Hauseck and 1,748 nurses of the Office Graefenberg and, since 1764 bailiff and Chief Justice of the Forest Office Sebaldi . He gained high recognition as a forest science writer and was appointed to the Leopoldina in 1771 . He became the owner of the Hofmark Rupprechtstein , located in the Upper Palatinate Jura, with country estates in ten Sulzbach and three Nuremberg villages, in which he had inherited shares from his mother Anna Maria Gewandschneider; He paid out the joint heirs from the Harsdörfer and Härtung families in 1754 and 1783, respectively.

In 1813, the Oelhafen von Schöllenbach family, which still exists today, was enrolled in the simple Bavarian nobility.

Between 1806 and 1906 the Oelhafen provided sixteen active and four reserve officers in the Bavarian Army, six of them sons of Major Karl Oelhafen von Schöllenbach (1810–1875).
