Poker (patrician)
The Schürstab (also Schürstab von Oberndorf ) were an influential patrician family of the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned in 1299. The family seat that gave its name was that of the Leupold III in 1375. Schürstab bought the manor Oberndorf.
history
A Friedrich Schürstab was first mentioned in a document in Nuremberg in 1299. According to family tradition, the family had immigrated to Transylvania from Sibiu , where they had settled in the country and were called "those of Trauttenburg". From the nickname of one of these ancestors, as the family assumed, the name "Schürstab" originated, to which the "talking" coat of arms - two crossed burning sticks - corresponded.
The Schürstab acquired an important reputation for trading talent and clever marriage policies. From 1351 Leupold III. Schürstab was the first of his family to be accepted into the Inner Council and thus into the ruling Nuremberg patriciate . It was also he who bought the Oberndorf manor in 1375 , after which the family called themselves Schürstab von Oberndorf. After 1500 the importance of the family declined because they withdrew from their branches in Venice , Lyon and Hungary , married commoners and became craftsmen, landlords or simple lawyers. 1584 died with Hieronymus III. Schürstab the last Inner Council of the family.
In 1605 Oberndorf had to be sold to the Tucher . The last male representative of the patrician family, Johann Meinhard Schürstab († 1668) was a nurse from Nuremberg at Hiltpoltstein . He was deposed in 1655. In the following decades there were disputes and lawsuits because of the required admission of alleged descendants of the patrician poker to the council offices. After a stubborn refusal, the council had to bow to the imperial demands and admit Georg Wolfgang Schürstab, who had been named on the Greater Council since 1717, to council offices. In 1729 he became a city almsman. However, he did not achieve full recognition within the advisable families. In 1743 this last poker player died with no offspring.
Poker house
The Schürstabhaus , which still exists today, belonged to the Schürstab family from 1328–1478, but is essentially a ministerial seat from the 12th century. The first modifications were made in 1390 and 1406 (by Erhard the Elder Schürstab).
