Since the 13th century, Lösnich has been the ancestral seat of the Knights of Losnich , a local knight family. They were among the archbishop's feudal people from the knighthood, the so-called ministerials of the ore monasteries of Trier and Cologne . Since the beginning of the 13th century, along with other families of knights residing in the Moselle region, they have repeatedly appeared as issuers of their own documents and as witnesses and co-sealers.

The Castle Lösnich was a fiefdom of the Electorate of Cologne, the associated goods were in part fiefs from the Archbishopric of Trier, the County of Sponheim , the County of Veldenz , the Dominion Neumagen and the County of Wied .

The lordship of Lösnich, which is connected to the knightly family, passed on to the Beyer von Boppard with the death of Lisa von Lösnich , daughter of the last male representative of the family Conrad von Lösnich . Via marriage she came to the Barons of Chrichingen, who in turn sold them to the Barons of Metternich for economic reasons . From here it was married to the Counts of Kesselstatt as the last beneficiaries of the rule.

The first written mention of a Lösnich knight can be found in a document from 1226. Hermannus von Lusendich testified that Theoderich, cathedral scholastor and official of Trier, granted the cathedral chapter the property of a servant who had been claimed by the knight Hermann von Wolmerath. Probably the oldest, but partly damaged seal of the Knighthood of Lösnich can be found on a document from the Echternach Abbey from 1237. Hermannus von Lussenich appeared here as a documentary witness. The seal shows a woman's arm with a hanging sleeve holding a fingering.

Hermann von Lösnich

Family tree of the Knights of Loesnich in the 13th and 14th centuries

The Lords of Lösnich seem to have played a not insignificant role in the Knighthood of the Moselle, which is clearly indicated by the frequent use of documents for documentary evidence throughout the 13th and 14th centuries.

In the years 1230 to 1240 "Hermannus de Lussenich" is run as a feudal man of the Count of Veldenz. The same is in June 1238 as a witness for the notarization of a memorial foundation of Hermann von Veldenz in the monastery of St. Thomas ad Kill by Archbishop Theoderich von Trier next to Mefridus von Neumagen jr. used. In 1237 he witnessed a comparison of the Himmerod Abbey with the brothers Hermann and Heinrich von der Leyen (near Ürzig) because of some lands under the spell of the village of Grandisdorp and in 1238/39 he appeared as a witness of Archbishop Theodoric von Trier in enfeoffing the deceased's daughters Count Heinrich von Blieskastel with Hunolstein Castle .

On February 27, 1250, Hermann von Lussenich, along with Richard von Manderscheid and Godefried von Ingedorf, acted as an intermediary in an exchange of goods for the St. Martin zu Worms chapter.

Johann von Lösnich

Knight Johannes von Lusenich vouched for the Himmerod Abbey on February 26, 1250 alongside Joannes, the son of the knight Rudolf von Wittlich and the brothers Stephan and Warner von Lisur (Lieser) because of a vineyard that Lucarde and her son Peter von Noviant had sold to the abbey to Buveranc.

Again in a matter of the monastery Himmerod he testified in 1269 the waiver of Heinrich von Ratiche (Rachtig) and his wife Aleide on all inheritance rights at the court of the monastery Himmerod. Seven years later, on June 25, 1276, Johann occurs from Lussenich in a dispute between convent Himmerod and the archbishop's people from Zeltingen and Rachtig as bailiff on.

Hermann von Lösnich

From 1275, another representative of the Lösnich knight family can often be found in the documents. Hermann von Lusenich appeared on September 18, 1275 in a feudal relationship with Count Heinrich von Salm, from whom he carried the income from a farm in drugs (drone) as a fief. With this income he is said to have been allowed to weather his wife Aleide.

Hermann von Lusenich sealed with his own knight's seal. It shows a silver female arm adorned with gold, holding a gold ring, on a red field studded with gold crosses. A hat adorned with two bushes of feathers is placed on the helmet in the seal coat of arms.

In June 1279 Hermann Herr von Lösnich, together with Mrs. Drutwin von Rachtig, citizen of Trier , acquired interest and goods in and around Ürzig for 6 Mark Aachener Pfennige from the convent and the abbess Beatrix von St. Cäcilia in Cologne. The documentary confirmation by Archbishop Sifried of Cologne took place on June 30, 1279.

In September 1297, knight Hermann von Lösnich and his wife Aleyde donated four and a half acres of land near Kinderbeuren to the nearby Machern monastery to fund their Anniversar .

Less than half a year later, the Machern Cistercian monastery again benefited from a gift from Hermann and his wife Aleyde. Here, too, it was a question of lands in the nearby Kinderbeuren with an associated farmstead.

Three sons of the knight Hermann von Lösnich were mentioned in a document in 1332 in a property affair with the nearby Machern monastery: Hermann, Giselbert and Heinrich, the sons of the late Hermann von Lösnich and Sara, Giselbert's wife, waived their claims to goods in favor of the Machern monastery to earth.

At the beginning of the 14th century, the sources of the Lösnich knights flow more and more, but the male line of this sex also expires in the same century. Conrad the Younger died in 1372 without leaving a male heir.

Conrad the Elder was married to Adelheid von Bruch . The Knights of Bruch had their residence in the nearby Bruch castle near Wittlich. Conrad was probably a descendant of the knight Hermann von Lösnich, who still sealed the seal with Archbishop Wernherr von Trier in 1268, and became Bernkastel in 1315 for 100 pounds of Heller Burgmann .

On March 30, 1316 Conrad von Lüssenich, as well as the knights Hermann Durenstoiser, Heinrich von der Leyen, Peter von Meyene, Theoderich and Richard von Crovia (Kröv) and the squires Johannes Vrays and Theoderich von Burenzheyen, because of a guarantee for the knights Nikolaus Hicke de Ulmene, the brothers Nicolaus de Brabant and Theoderich Stolle were called in to make payments in the city of Wittlich to the cathedral chapter of Trier.

The last-named knights had been sentenced to a total of 107 marks of Cologne denarii for the cremation and devastation of the Thüre and Euliche farms by Archbishop Balduin von Trier and the referee Scholastor Ameln von Münstermaifeld, who was chosen by both parties . Despite the request of the Provost Jofrid de Rodemacre, they had not raised the requested amount.

On December 28, 1324, Conrad von Lösnich was enfeoffed by Friedrich von Neumagen with goods from Turnich, Clüsserat and Keuerich, in the presence of Friedrich's wife Lise, the daughter of the blessed noble Lord Dietrich von Bruch.

These goods, also called "goods von Brucke", were previously carried as a fief by Conrad's uncle (uncle) Johann von Paltzel. He had transferred these goods to knight Peter von der Brücke. On March 22, 1324 Peter von der Brücke handed over the goods pledged to him by the late knight Johann von Paltzel to Conrad v. Lösnich as his next heir. In addition to the “goods from Brucke”, Junker Friedrich von Neumagen Conrad von Lösnich also transferred his feudal lordship over the goods to Lüssenich and earth , which Otto von Erden had previously carried as a fiefdom from him. Junker Friedrich is reported to have been a not entirely harmless contemporary. Because he was constantly harassing the merchants who drove down the Moselle, Archbishop Balduin is said to have seized him in Trier and held him until he had compensated for all the robbery and damage.

In order to improve their fiefs, the Archbishop of Trier Balduin allowed the knights Conrad von Lösnich and Conrad von Esch to build a court at Arras Castle on October 1st, 1330 . Arras Castle near Alf is one of the oldest castles in Germany and was built in 938.

On January 10, 1333 Conrad v. Lösnich Archbishop Balduin von Trier pays all debts due to the Trier, Mainz and Speyer monasteries and confesses that Balduin has given him the court of Ratiche (Rachtig) and the Neuerburger castle fiefdom.

A further enfeoffment of Conrad with these and additional goods took place on March 7, 1341, again by Archbishop Balduin von Trier. Here Conrad v. L., that the court at Ratiche, with everything that belongs to it from ancient times, the castle fief of the Neuerburg and the castle Arras, as well as the goods in the villages of Lösnich and Erden with a farm in Lösnich have been transferred.

Conrad was also in a feudal relationship with the neighboring county of Sponheim. Johann Graf von Sponheim, lord of Starkenburg, enfeoffed Conrad von Lussnich in 1334 with the property that nobleman Dietrich von Bruch, a brother-in-law of Conrad, was fiefdom. This included the court at Schirin, the mill at Bruch, which is on the Salm, the tithe at Orgilinch, and some other income like the one from Bruch had.

Conrad the Elder von Lösnich was married to Aleide von Bruch. The von Bruch family, who named themselves after the place Bruch an der Salm near Wittlich, are often related to different sexes of the Moselle and Eifel region. Lisa, an aunt of Adelheid von Bruch, was, as already mentioned, a second marriage to Junker Friedrich von Neumagen. His first marriage was preceded by Werner von Treis, with whom they had a daughter named Xande (Illande). She married the nobleman Heinrich von Lösnich, a brother of Conrad the Elder. From this marriage there were four sons, two of whom joined the Teutonic Order. Biele, the younger sister of Adelheid (Aleide), married first to Dietrich von Daun and in a second marriage to Arnold von Blankenheim.The rulership and castle Bruch were first passed on to the von Daun family, later to the von Chrichingen family, who in turn took part those sold by Kesselstatt.

Together with her husband Conrad von Lösnich, Adelheid (Aleidis) von Bruch confesses on June 24, 1339 that he owes 53 Heller to the Jew Aaron, the son of Melchisedech zu Wittlich. Adelheid seems to have died very early. As early as September 1341, we can tell of a donation to the Machern monastery to celebrate the Anniversar (memory of the dead) by the late wife Conrad von Lösnich. Conrad and his son Knappe Conzo (Conrad) leave the monastery 3 pounds per annum on their property on the Moselle island across from Zeltingen. Another donation on the same day to the same monastery and the Altar St. Petri for the same purpose speaks of oats, grain and Weinrenten in the places Hadisdorf, Rachtig and Erden.

In addition to the aforementioned Conrad the Younger, a daughter named Lisa (Lyse) emerged from Conrad's marriage to Adelheid von Bruch. Lisa married a Cuno von Pyrmont in 1330 as her first marriage . On October 13, 1330 Conrad von Esch, Wilhelm von Urley and Colin von Wittlich certify the marriage (Hillich) between Lyse von Lösnich, the daughter of Lord von Lösnich, and Cuno von Pyrmont, son of Heinrich Herr von Pyrmont.

Conrad the Younger, who did not seal himself in 1343 because he did not have his own seal at that time, was nevertheless called in to approve a sale, as can be seen from a document dated March 18, 1343. Conrad von Lösnich and Conrad his son sold a valid to Rachtig with the approval of Archbishop Baldwin of Trier and applied another valid to fiefdom. On June 15, 1345, Conrad the Elder and the Younger jointly provide a guarantee for King John of Bohemia, along with others .

Conrad the Younger was married to Idberga von Bornheim , who was married to him for the third time. Idberga, widow of Johann Schultheis von Eschweiler, had married Arnold I von Bornheim for the second time. Her first husband died before 1337, but she handed over to her daughter from this marriage the share of retirement pensions in Bornheim around Alfter, which Ludolf I had transferred to his uncle Arnold von Bornheim in 1342. In 1348 Ludolf I sold a pension to Idberga von Bornheim, the widow of Arnold von Bornheim, who at that time was already married to her third husband Conrad von Lösnich.

The Zeltingen Castle is pledged

The ruins of the Rosenburg in Zeltingen 2014

Financial difficulties of Archbishop Walram of Cologne in 1345 meant that Conrad the Elder von Lösnich took over the office and usufruct of the office and the Zeltingen Castle. Walram of Cologne certified that his vassal Conrad von Lossenich had lent him 3800 gold florets for the benefit of the Cologne church and that he had also agreed to use 200 gold florets for construction work on the archbishop's castle in Zeltingen. For this, the archbishop pledged the castle and the office of Zeltingen to him and made Conrad von Lösnich an official on the condition that Conrad and his heirs should keep the office until the 4,000 gold florins had been repaid in full. He was supposed to receive all of the office's income, but where he had to provide the office team at their own expense. The affidavit of this agreement was confirmed by Conrad von Lösnich and his eldest son of the same name.

Dissolver in the clergy

Laach Abbey

Maria Laach Abbey in the Eifel 2011

From the Benedictine Abbey of Laach (today Maria Laach) near Mendig it can be reported that Kuno von Lösnich held the office of abbot here from 1295 to 1328.

During his tenure, the monastery experienced a spiritual boom and economic stability. Like the priest monks in the convent, the abbots came exclusively from the lower nobility of the neighboring regions, such as u. a. from the Electorate of Cologne and Electorate of Trier.

Numerous received documents allow the conclusion that the economic upswing initiated by his predecessor Dittrich II von Lehmen continued under his government . At the urging of the Archbishops of Cologne and Trier, he temporarily took care of the business of the St. Thomas nunnery in Andernach and saved the monastery from financial ruin, as a testimony from 1322 reports. There are no references to the origin of the abbot either in traditions or in literature, but the coat of arms on his back seal makes it probable that he comes from the local nobility of Lösnich on the Moselle, which can be proven since 1226. He carried this distinctive coat of arms of the Lösnich knighthood (women's arm with hanging sleeve) that is covered with crosses. This variant has also been documented in Lösnich since 1320.

St. Castor Stift Koblenz

St. Castor Koblenz 2012

The connections between the Lösnich knight family and the St.Kastor monastery in Koblenz can not be clearly clarified . In a confirmation from Archbishop Arnold von Trier about the leasing of a tithe share in Miesenheim by the provost, dean and chapter of St. Kastor to the Marienkloster near Andernach , Dietrich von Lussenich appears in the list of witnesses alongside Hermann von Cologne in the rank of canon or canon .

On February 15, 1259, there is a speech by Theoderich von Lussenich, who, together with a man named Richardo, also appears as canon of St. Castor in a witness performance. Archbishop Arnold von Trier allows the canons of St. Castor and St. Florin, as well as the knights and citizens of Koblenz, to use the Koblenz customs, known as Ungeld, to fortify this city. However, Theodorich von Lossenig no longer lived in 1272.

In a document of the same year and in documents of the following years, the death of “Theoderico v. Lossenich ”until 1281 thought again and again.

Canons, also known as canons and canons, were usually clerics who, as members of a cathedral or collegiate chapter, lived in a community according to a certain rule. According to their way of life, they stood between monk and secular priest and, like members of the monastic order, made their vows on piety, chastity and obedience, but not on poverty and seclusion. So they often lived close to their religious community in their own houses according to their noble origins.

Adelheid von Lösnich appears in the office of abbess in the Machern nunnery near Zeltingen in 1344 : Adelheid von Lösnich, abbess, purchases half a sester of oil interest for the lamp in the infirmitorium from a wingert in Wehlen from Johann Budil and his children Henkin and Katharina.

German order of knights

Two brothers from the von Lösnich family, Dietrich and Werner, probably the sons of Heinrich von Lösnich, who had died in 1343, joined the Teutonic Order on March 15, 1343 . Before joining, the two named ten Trier pounds of individual possessions, which were obtained from the Marienhof in Rachtig. Dietrich and Werner had two brothers. As long as Johann, a monk at St. Maximin in Trier, and an unnamed monk at the monastery at Echternach , were still alive, the order received only 2 pounds from the property mentioned above. Dietrich was still a minor and was represented by his uncle Conrad von Lösnich and his grandmother Lyse von Treis, née von Bruch. Countess Mechthild von Sayn had already given the patronage right of the church in Lösnich to the Teutonic Order in 1252.

Donations and Assignments

Former monastery Machern near Zeltingen Rachtig 2014

The decline of chivalry in the middle of the thirteenth century as a result of the political developments of that time, the rigors of the Crusades and the high losses of human life, property and money, meant that not a few gave away a large part of their remaining wealth to monasteries and monasteries , or even entered a religious order as monks, canons or lay brothers. Donations mentioned in documents, such as the one in 1277 to the Himmerod monastery, which has already been given several times, are increasing in number. Knight Theoderich von Ulmene and his wife Erlinde (v. Lösnich) bequeathed wine to the monastery from goods at Munzel, which Theoderich had bought from his brother-in-law Wirich von Lösnich.

In 1298 the Machern Cistercian monastery received a gift from Hermann and his wife Aleyde. Here, too, we are talking about lands in the nearby Kinderbeuren with an associated farmstead.

Three sons of the knight Hermann von Lösnich are mentioned in a document in 1332 in a property affair with the nearby Machern monastery: Hermann, Giselbert and Heinrich, the sons of the deceased Hermann von Lösnich and Sara, Giselbert's wife, waive their claims to goods in favor of the Machern monastery to earth.

These donations, waivers and assignments of goods and income of any kind were recorded in writing for certification and officially confirmed by respected personalities from the secular and spiritual nobility by performing testimony and attaching the seal.

additional income

The income and tenure of the Lords of Losnich were varied. The Duke of Luxembourg was also wealthy in Lösnich and the surrounding area. On May 24, 1359, Sara, the widow Giselberts von Lösnich, together with her daughters Else and Agnes, renounced their fiefs, which they had borne as fiefs from Duke Wenceslaus of Luxembourg, in favor of their nephew Conrad von Lösnich, so that they could be transferred to Conrad could.

Giselbert, Sara's deceased husband, was a son of the knight Hermann von Lösnich, as can be seen from an already mentioned deed of donation to the Machern monastery from 1322. Accordingly, the nephew is probably Conrad the Younger, whose father, Conrad the Elder, was probably a brother of Giselbert and, after Hermann von Lösnich, had inherited the Lönich estate.

Duke Wenceslaus of Luxembourg, a descendant of King John of Bohemia, achieved the greatest expansion of the Duchy of Luxembourg in its history. He managed to redeem all of the areas pledged to Trier and to conclude a friendship treaty with Archbishop Baldwin's successor of Trier. In the course of these efforts it is likely that there were also arguments with the release niches. On December 19, 1361, Conrad von Lösnich was persuaded to make a promise to Duke Wenceslaus not to do anything against him, but to remain loyal to him. Witnesses to this agreement included knights Wilhelm von Orley and Johann von Sponheim . Barely a year later, the disputes seem to have been resolved. Conrad von Lösnich takes all his goods to Lösnich (Lussenich) for the sum of 40 florins on the spell of the place Erden from Duke Wenceslaus of Luxembourg as a fief.

Customs income on the Rhine

Conrad von Lösnich received additional income from various tariffs, such as those at Linz , Andernach and the “Fels” customs. For example, on February 22, 1360, to improve his fief, he received the annual income of 36 Cologne Pagament from the customs of Andernach from Archbishop Wilhelm of Cologne with the obligation to waive all claims and claims against the archbishop and archbishopric, be it because of hidden ones or unpaid fiefdoms, due to damage, loss, service and other matters. Conrad received Archbishop Engelbert von Köln's receipt for a tenancy pension of 36 marks from the Linz customs in 1365.

Conrad must have received a pension from an inch from the “rock”. On January 6, 1372, shortly after his death, Emperor Karl IV transferred the pension of 200 florins to this duty to Conrad's nephew Heinrich Beyer von Boppard, after this duty was again due to the empire through the death of Conrad.

The Lösnich knights and their neighbors

Veldenz Castle on the Moselle
The Grevenburg of the Counts of Sponheim in Traben-Trarbach

Another knight dynasty was located in the immediate vicinity of the Lords of Losnich. The von Orley family at Urley Castle near Ürzig, however, moved to Luxembourg at an early age and were related and married to the Luxembourg and Lorraine nobility.

Urley Castle, of which no remains are visible today, lay on a rocky promontory below the village of Ürzig in the vicinity of another castle, the Burg zur Leyen. This castle was located above the watchtower, which is still in ruins today. As if glued to the steep rock ledge, this watchtower survived the centuries. Visible from afar, it is now adorned with a sundial and surrounded by vineyards to the eye of the beholder.

Knight Wilhelm von Orley was held in high regard and was often used as an arbitrator and witness. On April 27, 1367, a share of the estate, called “Im Petzen” in the Kinheim “court”, was transferred from the three sons of Wilhelm, Wilhelm, Richard and Johann von Orley to their friend (stomach) Conrad von Lösnich. Conrad the Elder von Lösnich and Wilhelm von Orley had shared this share, which was rebellious against the Archbishop of Trier and Philip von Bolanden.

The coat of arms of the von Orley family showed two red stakes in a silver field. The "Von der Leyen" family had almost the same coat of arms as the von Lösnich men, a silver female arm with sackcloth sleeves, but in a black field.

The relationship between the Lösnicher house and the neighboring families of counts and knights extended up and down the Moselle. On March 10, 1314, Georg Graf von Veldenz made a declaration of marriage for his son Friedrich with Blancheflor, the daughter of Johann Count von Sponheim (Starkenburg). He provided the couple with 200 pounds of Trier pfennigs and the lowest castle in Lichtenberg, including the castle people. As guarantors, Georg provides next to Johann the boy Vogt von Hunolstein, Raugraf Konrad, the boy, Philip von Falkenstein, Heinrich Vogt von Rhaunen, Hugo von Schmidtburg and the like. a. also Konrad von Lösnich (Loysendich). Countess Loretta von Sponheim, who was at home on the Grevenburg in Trarbach and the Starkenburg near Enkirch, together with her son Johann Graf von Sponheim, confirmed on February 22, 1338, Gut und Herrschaft in Erden for 200 Schillings thick turns to Conrad 58 von Lösnich to have moved. In 1346 knight Richard von Kröv and his wife Lucia asked Ritter Conrad von Lösnich, together with knight Peter Wieke von Kröv, to co-seal a deed of purchase. Richard and Lucia acquire an eternal light in the Wolfer parish church from the Wolf community for their, their parents and descendants' salvation. For this they donate an annual grain validity of 1 Malter from the following properties to Lösnich, which Brenge and his wife own: A field on the overstenee flore, one on the diche, one on the zueme Schilde, two on the tumgraven, one on the selande, on the herlinge, on the holinwege, on the Baumgartenbach, 2 fields on the eych, one field on the fruitburne. As witnesses u. a. the Lösnich aldermen Peter the mayor and a man named Ortwin.

In the winery book of Grevenburg (Trarbach) 1362 it is recorded under the heading expenses that Konrad von Lösnich had received 14 Malter grain from Medem (?) In 1364 1½ pieces of wine from the house of Sponheim went to Konrad von Lösnich.

It is probably this validity that is the subject of the acknowledgment of Knight Konrad von Lösnich to Count Johann von Sponheim on September 17, 1368. Konrad acknowledges Count Johann von Sponheim for 150 pounds pfennigs, with which he replaced 1 load of Weingülte zu Erden and 14 Malter both fruit gels in the Kröver Reich, which Konrad had as a fiefdom. Konrad seals the certificate as the issuer of the certificate. The seal has a diameter of 2.5 cm and shows a coat of arms in the seal field. The depicted woman's arm with hanging sleeve holds a ring, accompanied by a cross.

On March 14, 1369, Knight Konrad the Younger von Lösnich announced that he had received 200 pounds pfennigs of Trier currency from Johann Graf von Sponheim, with which the Count replaced a load of Weingülte zu Erden and 14 Malter Fruchtgülte zu Bengel in the Kröver Empire, the Konrad had borne by him as a fief. In return, Konrad transfers 20 pounds to the count and his heirs for his shares in two of his own farms in the village of Bengel; Konrad and his sister Lisa von Pyrmont (von Losnich) each own half a farm with Konrad's brother-in-law, the knight Heinrich Beyer von Boppard; at their court belong the maid Lylie von Lösnich (?) a quarter and Konrad three quarters with fields, meadows, fields of Gülten, rights and accessories. These shares are to receive Konrad and his feudal heirs to man fiefs.

On the same day, knight Heinrich Beyer von Boppard and his wife Lisa von Pyrmont (v. Lösnich) give their consent that knight Konrad should give Count Johann von Sponheim his share, d. H. has given fiefdoms to half of the courtyard of Bengel , in which they sit in communion with him. Both spouses seal this certificate.

Another house in Echternach should be mentioned among the widely scattered possessions of Conrad. A citizen named Johann Schleifgen set up some facilities for Conrad in his house in Echternach . For this he received from Conrad on November 16, 1369 a sum of 28 Rebenter guilders from Florence and 7qrs.
