They are assigned to the tribe of the Reginbodonen .
You were u. a. Castle people at Homburg am Main Castle . At the same time, they were the owners of the bailiwick of the Triefenstein Monastery , which they controlled from Neuchâtel . A prominent representative of the family was the Würzburg bishop Iring von Reinstein-Homburg († 1265). As part of the imperial-free knighthood , the noble family was organized in the knight cantons of Odenwald and Rhön-Werra . Epitaphs of the Reinsteiners are in the church of Trennfeld
