The peacocks of Rietburg (also peacocks), later peacocks (s) of Rüppurr, were a family of service men from the Upper Rhine , most recently barons .

Family history

The family belonged to the lower service aristocracy and had its eponymous headquarters in Rüppurr , today a district of Karlsruhe . The municipality has adopted the coat of arms of the nobles as the local coat of arms.

The sex is mentioned in documents from around 1100 AD, initially only as von Rietburg , then as von Rieperg or von Rüppurr and finally (from the 13th century) also with the addition of the name peacock , which is a sign of proud self-confidence indicates. At the beginning of the 15th century part of the family emigrated to the Ortenau and called themselves only von Pfau .

The peacocks of Rüppurr not only made up high officials and military personnel, but also church dignitaries. Such was Reinhard von Rüppurr 1503-1523 Bishop of Worms . The Worms missal ( Missale secundum ritum et observantiam Ecclesie et Dioecesis Wormatiensis ) issued under his aegis in 1522 shows him with the family coat of arms on the title page.

In 1584 the family was so heavily indebted that they had to transfer the Rüppurr Castle and all goods in Rüppurr to Margrave Ernst Friedrich von Baden-Durlach . She then moved to Obermönsheim . Here the male line died out in 1782 through the death of Freiherr Christoph Friedrich von Rüppurr. His daughter Philippine Charlotte Franziska married the Württemberg State Minister Ernst Leopold August von Phull (1768–1828), whereby his family took over the name and the coat of arms. From then on they called themselves Phull-Rieppurr (also Pfuel-Rüppurr ). The last bearer of his name and coat of arms, Baron Eduard von Phull-Rieppurr, died there in 1918.
