history

The Schöneckers appear for the first time in documents with their ancestor Konrad von Boppard in 1189 and therefore developed from the same line as the Beyer von Boppard . Around 1200 they took over the administration of the Gallscheid court from the Reichsburg Schöneck . From then on, the family named themselves after the castle. In the 13th century, the family split up and lived in several branches at Schöneck Castle ( Ganerbeburg ). Philipp I von Schöneck married Aleidis von Steckelberg , a respected noble family. Philip's sons Simon and Emmerich became bishops of Worms . 1331–1336 the Schoeneckers took part in the Eltz feud against Baldwin of Trier and had to give up their imperial position as a result . In response, the family acquired properties in the Eifel ( Bürresheim , Olbrück and Kempenich ). In 1508 the gentlemen von Schöneck died out of the male line. Coats of arms and parts of the rule went to Johann von Nassau-Sporkenburg and from there to the Lords of Stein zu Nassau .
