Master list of the forest masters of Gelnhausen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of the forest master of Gelnhausen

Humbracht and the Forstmeisterische family tradition begin with Lukas and his son Hans Forstmeister von Gelnhausen the direct and secure line of the forest masters von Gelnhausen in the 14th century. This tribe was divided into two main tribes right from the start: The descendants of Anselm Forstmeister von Gelnhausen died out in the 15th century. The lineage of his brother Hector continued to flourish and Gerhard Forstmeister von Gelnhausen, bailiff in Otzberg, emerged from it. Here the family is again divided into two younger lines, that of Philipp Forstmeister von Gelnhausen, which soon expired, and that of Martin Forstmeister von Gelnhausen. He was the progenitor of two main lines, based on his sons Caspar and Balthasar Forstmeister von Gelnhausen. The Casparian line is initially Catholic and later became Protestant. The Balthasar line was first Protestant and later Catholic. This is where Karl Friedrich Forstmeister von Gelnhausen comes from .

In the 19th and 20th centuries, as a result of an assumption by Heinrich Reimer, the hypothesis came about that a Dietz Mulich von Aufenau was the progenitor of the forester von Gelnhausen. Walter Möller followed this assumption in his family tables of West German noble families. This master list from Möller contains mix-ups with the master chefs from Gelnhausen. Because the lineage to Dietz Mulich von Aufenau was a theoretical working hypothesis, the following genealogy begins with NN (Lukas) Forstmeister von Gelnhausen.

Humbracht sometimes only mentions family names based on his sources (ancestral samples, coats of arms on grave monuments). The first names in brackets reflect the family tradition. As a result, there are slight uncertainties with first names. The derivation by family name is unaffected.
