history

After Gabriel Bucelin, the Sachsenheimers were a very old and famous knight family. Bucelin is the first Sachsenheimer to name Heinrich von Sachsenheim, who is said to have taken part in a tournament in Constance in 948.

The first written mention in 1090 refers to a Diemo von Sachsenheim. The name Sachsenheim only reappears in documents from 1240. The first to be mentioned are the knight Hermann von Sachsenheim and his brother Konrad von Sachsenheim, whose sons Hermann, Bernold and Friedrich founded the 3 lines of the Lords of Sachsenheim.

The 4 most important of the Lords of Sachsenheim were the minne poet Hermann , his two sons, the lawyer Jörg and the Landhofmeister Hermann , and his son-in-law Reinhard , the builder of Großsachsenheim Castle . Two people from Sachsenheim, who died in the battle of Reutlingen in 1377, became known literarily. Ludwig Uhland commemorated them in his ballad “The Battle of Reutlingen” with the stanza “From Sachsenheim two knights, the father and the son, they lie quietly together in lilies and poppies…”.

The last legitimate male descendant of the Sachsenheimers was Bernhard von Sachsenheim, who was Obervogt zu Neuenbürg and died in 1561. Gall von Sachsenheim (1521–1596), a forester in Leonberg who had been dismissed because of poor administration , was the illegitimate son of a Wilhelm von Sachsenheim. After his father married his mother, he was declared legitimate, so that the name Sachsenheim was propagated through his descendants at least until the end of the 17th century.

coat of arms

The coat of arms shows two red buffalo horns in silver on a red grind (piece of the skull). Be the buffalo horns on the helmet with the red and silver helmet covers . By the end of the 14th century, the crescent-shaped horns were curved inward. Later the horns were turned outwards in an S-shape, the horn ends were pointed or cut off.

The coat of arms frieze above the main portal of Großsachsenheim Castle shows on the left side the coat of arms as it was used from the 15th century, on the right side the old version of the coat of arms. Helmet covers made of lush acanthus leaves surround the coat of arms and helmet.

family tree

The Sachsenheimer family was "so infinitely ramified" that neither Pleickhard von Helmstatt nor Gabriel Bucelin succeeded in submitting an exact family tree, " Karl Pfaff did not succeed either, who made a corresponding attempt in his regesta ".

The local history researcher Kurt Bachteler from Sachsenheim presented a shortened family tree of the minne poet Hermann von Sachsenheim and a partial transcription of the handwritten family tree of Pleickhard von Helmstatt.

  • Family tree after Pleickhard von Helmstatt, around 1612.

  • Family tree after Gabriel Bucelin, 1671.
