history

The origin of the Schenk von Vargula family is obscure. The family is first mentioned at the end of the 12th century with Rudolf and Walther pincerna de varila . People who appeared earlier, such as B. Albertus von Vargula (1017) or Philipp von Vargula (1119) cannot be associated with the taverns. Apparently this family was only in 1180 with a part of Vargula from Kaiser invested . A Kunemund von Vargula who appeared at the same time belongs to the family of the later Marshals von Ebersberg / Eckartsberg .

1178 received Ludowinger , Landgrave of Thuringia, as a balance of power and also to confirm their own Prince, to entertain four court offices the right, which inherited the Lords of Schlotheim as stewards , the lords of Fahner as treasurer , the lords of Vargula- Ebersberg from 1209 when marshals and the lords of Vargula were given as gifts .

In 1178, the complete denomination appears for the first time in a Naumburg document, in which Rudolph Schenk von Vargula was named. Walther von Vargula is one of the noble lords who accompanied the Hungarian king's daughter Elisabeth from Hungary to the Thuringian Landgrave Court in 1211. From the middle of the 12th century until 1270 they held the inheritance office at the Thuringian Landgrafenhof. Gottfried von Vargula is proclaimed governor of the Thuringian Ballei in 1295 , and Gottfriedus de Varila (1290) and Heinrich von Varila (1317) are attested as Land Commander of the Coming Lucklum of the Deutschordensballei Sachsen .

Schenck von Tautenburg

Tautenburg (1929)

The Thuringian line of taverns in Tautenburg had owned the Tautenburg rule since 1232 , which came under the Wettin fiefdom in 1354 and under the Wettin- Albertine fiefdom in 1485 . From 1427 the neighboring Frauenprießnitz dominion was owned by the Tautenburg taverns. In 1631 the Thuringian taverns of Tautenburg acquired the Tonna rule . On August 3, 1640, Christian, who had survived his two sons and his wife, died on the Thuringian line of taverns from Tautenburg and the rule was withdrawn from the Albertine electorate of Saxony with Frauenprießnitz and Niedertrebra as a settled fief. The family's hereditary burial place is the crypt in the church of Frauenprießnitz. While the rule of Tautenburg came to the Electorate of Saxony , the rule of Tonna came to the County of Waldeck and in 1677 by sale to the Duke of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg .

Georg Schenck von Tautenburg was governor of Friesland from 1521 to 1540 and governor of Drenthe and Groningen from 1536 to 1540 and was knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1540 . Christoph Schenck zu Tautenburg went to East Prussia in 1512 and received land there as a fief. Friedrich Schenck von Tautenburg became the first archbishop of Utrecht in 1559.

The East Prussian family of the imperial barons Schenk zu Tautenburg, who lived in Doben Castle in the Angerburg district and Partsch Castle in the Rastenburg district until 1945 , still exists today.
