The Raugrafen , Latin comites hirsuti ("Count of undeveloped land"), were a noble family who had their main property in the former Nahegau . They came from the Emichonen (Nahegaugrafen).
history
First generation in the 12th to 15th centuries
The sex of the Raugrafen came from a division of the Wildgraves around the year 1148 (heirs of the Emichons). The first Raugraf was Emich I (approx. 1128–1172), the second son of the Wildgrave Emich VI. and brother of the wild count Konrad. The term “Raugraf”, which is also used by other counts, allows for different interpretations.
The other line that emerged from the first division of inheritance in the Nahegau County in 1113 was that of the Counts of Veldenz .
Ancestral castle of the Raugrafen was probably the tree castle near what is now Altenbamberg, south of Bad Münster am Stein . However, Emich I. calls himself “Count of Naumburg (Nuenburc)” in a document in 1146 .
The sons of Raugrafen Emich II divided their property into a Stolzenberger and Baumburger line. In 1253 the Neuen-Baumburg (Neubamberg) was built as the seat of another line. The Stolzenberg line died out as early as 1358. In the same year there were armed conflicts over the Stolzenburg. The Lords of Bolanden inherited the now extinct Stolzenberg line and sold Simmern to the Count Palatine in 1359 . In 1385 the Altenbaumburg line died out. In 1457 the last Raugräfliche line in Neuenbaumburg went out. Most of the property went to Electoral Palatinate .
Second sex in the 17th century
After the possessions of the raugräflichen family had come to the Electoral Palatinate after its extinction, in 1667 Elector Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz raised his wife Marie Luise von Degenfeld, whom he had morganatically wedded to in 1658, to be Raugräfin; their thirteen children together received the same title.
possession
The main holdings of the Raugrafen were south of the Nahe on the Alsenz , south of Kirn , where the Becherbach court was located, around Alzey , where they were the counts palatine, and around Simmern .
Their castles were the Altenbaumburg , the Ebernburg , the Stolzenburg , the Naumburg , the Neu Baumburg (New Tree Castle), the Imsweiler Castle and a castle in Simmern .
coat of arms
The main coat of arms of the Raugrafen was split between gold (yellow) and red.
