Key fields of Kirchensittenbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the key fields

The Schlüsselfelder von Kirchensittenbach were a patrician family of the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned in 1382. The Schlüsselfelder were co-opted in 1536, as the last family (before the expansion of 1729) in the Nuremberg patriciate , which was listed in the dance statute of 1521 and the ruling " Inner Council ”of the city, in which the key fields were represented until their extinction in 1709.

history

The key fields (also: key fields ) allegedly came from key field , as the name suggests . Nothing further is known of their previous history. The first demonstrable representatives of the sex in Nuremberg were: 1382 Apel Schlüsselfelder and 1396 Ulrich Schlüsselfelder . They made their fortune in the middle of the 15th century through the long-distance trade in wool and cloth and as a mining company in Eisfeld and Schwaz . As early as 1581, Schlüsselfelder acquired the medieval Nassauerhaus as their headquarters in Nuremberg. In 1612 they came to the Schlossgut Kirchensittenbach as administrators through the Tetzelsche Family Foundation and from then on called themselves "Schlüsselfelder von Kirchensittenbach".

In 1709 the Schlüsselfelder died out with Johann Carl Schlüsselfelder von Kirchensittenbach. In his will, he named the families of his sister-in-law Kreß von Kressenstein and Welser von Neunhof as changing administrators of his family foundation in the form of a transfer , a special legal form of the Nuremberg inheritance law. After the Neunhofer line of the Welser family died out in 1878, the Volckamer von Kirchensittenbach took their place. Since then, the eldest male descendant of the Kress and Volckamer families has alternately been the administrator; currently it is Christoph Volckamer von Kirchensittenbach. The foundations include the Schlossgüter Kirchensittenbach and Kugelhammer as well as the Nassauerhaus in Nuremberg.
