Rudolf I of Praunheim
Rudolf I von Praunheim (mentioned from 1250; † 1273 ) from the family of the Knights von Praunheim was the founder of the family branch of the Reichsschöffen von Praunheim through marriage .
family
His father was Heinrich I. von Praunheim , Reichsschultheiß of Frankfurt am Main , his mother Adelheid von Echzell .
Rudolf I married Richilde, a daughter of the patrician Heinrich von Knoblauch , appropriately . At least one son, two grandchildren and one great-grandson of his were - like himself - later employed as lay judges at the Reichsgericht in Frankfurt and from this position they have nicknames like “ the good ” or “ the wise ”.
politics
Rudolf I supported his brother, the Reichsschultheißen Wolfram II. He was a lay judge at the Reichsgericht in Frankfurt am Main . He bought an ancestral estate in Sachsenhausen , which he and his descendants lived in. In contrast to the Reichsschultheißen line, which his brother Wolfram II founded, he and his descendants played a prominent role in the Reich Court, but not in urban politics or that of the German Empire .
