With Hermann von Rennenberg († February 23, 1585?), Canon and pastor of Kaldenkirchen , the von Rennenberg family died out in the male line. Hermann made his sister Anna von Rennenberg (* approx. 1521), who was married to Philip de Lalaing (1510–1555), Count von Hoogstraten, his heir. The Counts Lalaing-Hoogstraten also keep the name of Rennenberg in their name.
Via this line, the name came to the Salm-Kyrburg family through a marriage in the 17th century .
