The family came from Graubünden and acquired property in Swabia in the 13th century. It appears for the first time in a document on September 9, 1197 with "Heinricus de Lapide". Named after the manor in the Oberstadion , it can be traced back to May 13, 1270 with the knight "Waltherus de Stadegun".

In the 14th century, the stadiums in the Habsburg service acquired property in Graubünden again. The inserted by the Habsburgs Meier of the convent Säckingen in Glarus , Walter Stadion, a grandson of 1270 mentioned in Swabia knight, abused his power, which led to an open conflict. In 1352 the people of Glarus moved out, killed Walter von Stadion and destroyed the monastery castle in Näfels . Walter's brother Ludwig von Stadion († 1364) was the Austrian bailiff in Swabia, his wife Agnes von Frielingen was the founder of the Augustinian monastery in Augsburg . Ludwig's grandchildren divided the property between themselves in 1392: Johann the Rich († 1458) was the Württemberg court master and founder of the Swabian line, his brother Konrad († 1439) founded the Alsatian line.

The Swabian line, based in Oberstadion , was in the service of Württemberg, but remained Catholic at the time of the Reformation and then entered Austrian service. The line died out in 1693, and its goods, including the Schlössle Alberweiler , fell to the Alsatian line.

With Christoph von Stadion (1478–1543), the Alsatian line produced a prince-bishop of Augsburg and, in the following generations, cathedral capitulars in Augsburg, Basel, Mainz, Würzburg and Bamberg. Johann Caspar von Stadion (1567–1641) was German master, four of his nephews were as cathedral capitular supporters Johann Philipps von Schönborn in his election as bishop, which from 1643 onwards led to a great bond between the houses of Stadion and Schönborn . A fifth nephew, Johann Christoph von Stadion (1610–1666), was a senior magistrate in Würzburg in Treuberg. His son Johann Philipp Stadion (1652-1741) was Electoral Mainz Lord High Steward was in 1686 for baron collected in 1705 for Imperial Count. In 1696 he acquired the Warthausen rule , and in 1705 the Thannhausen rule . As a result of the acquisition of the direct imperial rule of Thannhausen, he was accepted on May 3, 1708 in the Swabian Imperial Counts College. The lines created by division in 1741, which died out in 1890 and 1908, were named after these two places. The Counts of Schönborn- Buchheim became heirs.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the stadium near Siebmacher , 1605

The family coat of arms shows three golden wolf rods, one above the other, with the hook turned downwards . On the helmet with black and gold blankets, a gold, comfortable red pillow, on it a gold wolf's tang with the hooks turned upwards, covered with a natural peacock whisk. Because of the coincidence of the heraldic coat of arms, a relationship with the sexes of Pflumper, von Salmendingen and the multiple branched lords of Stain is considered likely.

The count's coat of arms from 1705 is quartered with the family coat of arms as a heart shield. 1 and 4 in black, (later also in blue) three golden pine cones placed in stakes (Thannhausen); 2 and 3 a floating, curved red paw cross in silver. Count's crown with three crowned helmets, on the right with black or blue-gold blankets a growing large golden pine cone; in the middle with black and gold covers the jewel of the family coat of arms; on the left with red-silver covers (sometimes covered with a red cross) in front a silver, behind red closed flight. Shield holder: on the right an outward-looking, red-tongued golden lion, on the left an equally golden wolf.

According to family tradition, the red paw cross was included in the count's coat of arms in memory of the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and Prince of the Holy Roman Empire Johann Kaspar von Stadion , enfeoffed in Prague on February 5, 1628, Imperial War Council President and Feldzeugmeister , * 1567; † Ammern in Thuringia on January 21, 1641, buried in Mergentheim.
