The Reitzenstein come from the Franconian nobility. They first appeared in a document in 1318 with “Konrad von der Grün”, to which the trunk series also goes back. Like the von Berg , von Epprechtstein, von der Grün , von Münchberg, von Radeck , von Sparnberg, von Stein , von Thoßfell, von Töpen and von Wildenstein families , they are considered to be a line of the Sack family of ministers named after their seat . All of these families are therefore related to the tribe and coat of arms.

history

Reitzenstein Castle

Konrad's son Chunrad von der Grün called himself "Reichzenstein" as early as 1325 after the Reitzenstein fortress that belonged to him and was built around 1130 . The place is now incorporated into Issigau in Upper Franconia .

Some branches of the family have died out or were displaced by the border drawing in the 20th century. This includes the family branch from the place Reitzenstein (Polish Kolpion ) in the Oststernberg district in Neumark .

building

Today's seat of government in Baden-Württemberg , which was built between 1910 and 1913 for Baroness Helene von Reitzenstein , is the Villa Reitzenstein in Stuttgart .

In Bayreuth , on today's Luitpoldplatz, there was the three-storey Reitzenstein-Palais, which was built between 1761 and 1768 and was designed by the architect Carl von Gontard . In 1915 it became the property of the city and in 1916 a large part of the city offices were transferred there, so that it functioned as the town hall (then the New Town Hall). After severe damage in World War II , the building was demolished down to the ground floor after the war. The registry office and the tourist office were housed there for 20 years. The remains of the building were demolished in 1966 in order to build the present New Town Hall of Bayreuth there. A preserved portico column of the palace is set up in the courtyard of the Bayreuth Historical Museum .

The German armed forces gave the troop accommodation in Düsseldorf and Wesel the name Reitzenstein barracks:

Coat of arms of those of Reitzenstein

The coat of arms shows a silver diagonal bar on a red background. On the helmet with the red and silver covers there is an open red flight , on the right with a silver diagonal bar, on the left with a silver diagonal left bar.

The sloping beam can be found as an element of today's municipal coat of arms of Konradsreuth , Regnitzlosau and Reuth near Erbendorf , the wings are part of the coat of arms of Issigau . The coat of arms of the former municipality of Marxgrün also reminds of the family.
