history

The family initially appears as the owner of castle seats in Volkmarsen and real estate in neighboring Mederich . With the destruction of Volkmarsen in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War , it lost its property there and dispersed to Waldeck, Hesse and Frankfurt am Main. Hermann Reineck received citizenship in Frankfurt in 1649; he died in 1666 as a Hessen-Kassel councilor on his estate in Okarben . One of his sons, Heinrich Christoph Reineck, died in 1744 as Waldeck shear Upper Kammerrat without issue; two others, Johann Nicolaus Reineck and Conrad Valentin (1657–1721), wine merchants, continued the family.

Conrad Valentin's younger son Friedrich Ludwig (1707–1775) was also a wine merchant in Frankfurt and achieved considerable wealth. During the reign of Friedrich , he became King of Sweden from 1720 and from 1730 also Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, Swedish and Hesse-Kassel court councilor. In 1729, when he married Maria Juliane von Damm, he received from Emperor Karl VI. a renewal of the nobility with an increased coat of arms; this renewal was also given to his cousins ​​Conrad Hermann and Christoph Ludwig Reineck, the sons of Johann Nicolaus Reineck, a few years later. After the death of his wife in 1735, Friedrich Ludwig married Susanne Gertrude von Stockum for the second time in 1741. In 1755 he was appointed Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon Real Secret War Council by August the Strong , then sold his extensive property in Frankfurt and the surrounding area and moved to Saxony. With his son from his second marriage, Adalbert, who died unmarried in 1822, the family in Frankfurt went out and the Reineck property, on which Frankfurt's first municipal market hall was built from 1877 to 1879 , fell to the city.

Friedrich Ludwig's son from his first marriage, August Christian Ludwig Konrad von Reineck (1733–1789) studied in Göttingen , became a royal Waldeck privy councilor and court judge and continued the family in Waldeck. He managed the renovation of the old investiture from the convent Heerse over half Amtshof to Mederich along with 14 dunghill . He also obtained from Corvey Abbot Theodor in 1777 the enfeoffment of himself, his brother Adelbert and his cousin Friedrich Carl von Reineck, Waldeck government councilor, with a hoof of land in the Reigerlütersen desert and a hoof of land in the Wittmar desert , both located near Volkmarsen ; these hooves came to Adelbert von Reineck and Friedrich Christian Ludwig, Magnus Adelbert Karl and Julius Philipp Christian Valentin von Reineck in 1790. In 1779 he received the Steinhof in Mederich and 5 Hufen there as well as a Meierhof in Langel near Wolfhagen , which the Lords of Gudenberg had previously owned, from Heerse Abbey. In 1781 he also became the owner of the Sieberhausen estate .

With Friedrich Christian Ludwig von Reineck zu Sieberhausen, married to Sophie Caroline Louise von Dalwigk , a member of the sex once again achieved supra-regional importance. He was a student in Marburg in 1790 , was Waldeck's councilor in Arolsen and in 1805, he was the castle commander of Pyrmont . After the establishment of the Napoleonic kingdom of Westphalia him proclaimed King Jerome to State Council and one of his palace prefect . and from July 1812 to May 1813 he was prefect of the department of Fulda . After the end of the kingdom in 1813 he was initially unemployed and without office and lived in Offenbach am Main , but then seems to have been the Isenburg secret councilor in the end. It is still known until 1825.
