Schliederer of laughter
The Schliederer von Lachen (after 1497 also Schliederer von Schönfels) were a Palatinate prehistoric noble family that died out in 1791.
Family history
The family had its origins in the village of Lachen near Neustadt an der Weinstrasse , after which it was named and where it remained wealthy until the end of the feudal era. In 1497 she acquired Schönfels Castle near Mersch in Luxembourg and shifted her focus to this region. In addition to the name Schliederer or Schliderer von Lachen , Schloderer, Schloder or Schloeder von Lachen also occurs.
Sigmund Sleder, the first representative of the family known by name, appeared several times in documents as a witness and lay judge, and finally as a deputy judge at the regional court in Speyergau between 1283 and 1309 . At that time, the Schlieder vassals of the Weißenburg monastery and appear with many mass foundations in the contemporary Seelbuch of the Lachen parish church. They had many possessions within the resort, through marriage, they acquired in 1400 also from the Archdiocese of Mainz lehnbaren Postal Biblis at Worms with associated rights and in 1430 a Hofgut in Deidesheim (now Deidesheimer Hof).

Here he acquired the manor and castle Schönfels near Mersch, which belonged to his descendants until the 18th century and after which they often named themselves. They also owned Wampach Castle in Oberwampach from 1520 through marriage , which they had rebuilt and where there is still a coat of arms of the Schliederer von Lachen (1580).
