family

Philip II of Falkenstein was a son of Philip I of Falkenstein and his wife Isengard von Munzenberg .

From his marriage to Wild Countess Gisela von Kyrburg (marriage before April 4, 1266) the following children emerged:

  • Isengard von Falkenstein (* unknown; † February 5, 1304)
  • Gisela von Falkenstein (* unknown; † after May 1, 1313)
  • Ulrich I. von Falkenstein (* unknown; † November 1, 1300)
  • Elisabeth von Falkenstein (* unknown; † after 1293)
  • Philip IV of Falkenstein (* around 1282, † after 1328)

Life

His father called himself Philipp I von Falkenstein from around 1220 - even before the son was born. Before that he appeared as Philip IV von Bolanden, because the Lords of Falkenstein are actually a sideline of the Lords of Bolanden. The name Falkenstein, used around 1220, comes from his Falkenstein castle on the Donnersberg. However, the family moved their center of life to Hesse, since from 1255 the father received one sixth of the Munzenberg inheritance through his wife, including the rule of Königstein, Assenheim and the Dreieich forest. The father inherited in 1258 the Ministerialengeschlecht Münzenberg and thus the bailiwick about the Wetterau and the Reichsvogtei in Dreieich forest. This made the Taunus region the new center of life for the family.

The first known documentary mention of Philip II comes from the year 1259.

After the death of his father, the first Falkenstein division took place in 1271: Philip II founded the Butzbach line of the Falkenstein family; his brother Werner I. von Falkenstein was the first ruler of the Lich line.
