Schott von Schottenstein
Schott von Schottenstein (also the Scots ) is the name of an old Franconian noble family .
history
The progenitor of the family was probably Heinrich Schott, who was mentioned in 1260. He was the first to bear this name. Heinrich was in feudal relationship with the Franconian Counts of Castell (same coat of arms with different crest).
The brothers Heinrich, Ludwig and Engelhard Schott renounced in 1267 under their current sovereign, the Count of Henneberg , the tithe in Wolfsdorf (today a district of the city of Bad Staffelstein ) and Wallenstedt (today a district of the city of Lichtenfels ) in favor of the Count of Oettingen . Count Ludwig V. von Oettingen used the property rights of these tithe in an undated deed (around 1278) for the foundation of an anniversary in the Langheim monastery for his deceased brother Konrad. In 1303, Ludwig Schott sold three goods in Watzendorf (today part of the community of Großheirath ) to the Langheim monastery in a certificate given to Coburg .
Since the end of the 14th century, the Schott had important fiefdoms from the Fulda Abbey . Because of one of their headquarters, to which they had given the name Schottenstein (today part of the municipality of Itzgrund ), they were accepted into the imperial knighthood of the canton of Baunach and since then have carried the name Schott von Schottenstein. In Schottenstein there were (or are) several knight seats of those von Schott:
Schottenstein , Middle Castle
Schottenstein, Lower Castle
A Hanß Schott from Schottestein to Stockenfels and Fischbach was the Palatinate Councilor and Hofmeister to Amberg and died in 1571 at the age of 37.
Johann Christian Max Schott von Schottenstein zu Stockenfels was raised to the baron status by Elector Maximilian II Emanuel on January 16, 1691 . In 1770, Johann Friedrich Karl Schott von Schottenstein, the head hunter master of Nassau , brought the Bläsiberg manor (near the town of Wiesensteig ) in Württemberg into the family through marriage . The descendants of his brother Johann Siegmund Schott von Schottenstein, oettingen-Wallerstein master hunter, also settled in Württemberg. When the nobility register was established in what would later become the Kingdom of Württemberg , the family was entered in the baron class. Maximilian Freiherr Schott von Schottenstein was royal Württemberg general of the infantry , minister of war and from 1900 to 1901 prime minister . The last living Schott von Schottenstein married into the family of the Freiherren Löffelholz von Kolberg .
