Peltz from Boppard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of the Peltz von Boppard

The Peltz von Boppard were a noble family with property and privileges on the Middle Rhine around the city of Boppard .

coat of arms

Inclined bars on a black background, sometimes accompanied by three crosses on each side. The color of the sloping bar varies from silver to gold in the literature. The sources refer to the depiction of the coat of arms of Johann Peltz as Burgmann zu Sternberg in the so-called Balduineum . The oldest representation speaks of a golden diagonal bar, the more recent one of a silver one. This suggests that the gold leaf may have peeled off over time. A death shield from another Johann Peltz, which was hanging in the Carmelite Church in Boppard until the end of the 1980s , has disappeared for some time and can therefore not provide any further information.

history

The gender was first mentioned in the early 14th century. In 1305 men were appointed to a border determination in Boppard, including the brothers Gerlach Peltz and the Wäpeling Udo Peltz. They provided several lay judges, including Peter, who was also a co-founder of the lay judges and councilors in Boppard. In the middle of the 15th century, goods belonging to the Milwalt family in Oberwesel came into the possession of the family through marriage .

The Peltz von Boppard seem to have died out at the beginning of the 16th century, the last tangible member of this family is Maria, who is referred to as the widow of Werner Boos von Waldeck in 1537 .
