Randersacker (noble family)
The von Randersacker family was originally a noble ministerial family , it was in the service of the Würzburg bishops .
The name-giving place is Randersacker , today a market in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg . The family was organized in the knight cantons of Odenwald and Steigerwald . The genealogist Johann Gottfried Biedermann published a family tree in his volume on the canton of Steigerwald in the 18th century.
The coat of arms shows a quarter in black on a gold background. The helmet covers are black and silver. The crest is a flight diagonally divided into black and silver. The family is related to the von Sande family and has an identical coat of arms. In the Cistercian convent Himmelspforten there is an epitaph of a family member. Like the Kruse von Sande family, the von Randersacker branch maintained close contacts with the Cistercian order . The Heilsbronn Monastery owned the so-called Heilsbronner Hof in Randersacker , which mainly supplied the monasteries with wine. In 1540 the family died out with Peter von Randersacker (buried in the Würzburg Franciscan Church ).
