Coat of arms of the Schenk von Stauffenberg

Schenk von Stauffenberg is the name of a Catholic, Swabian nobility family , whose imperial knighthood lords Wilflingen , Amerdingen , Riississen , Lautlingen , Greifenstein , Geislingen and Jettingen in 1803 fell through mediatization partly to the Kingdom of Bavaria and partly to the Kingdom of Württemberg .

origin

Stauffenberg Castle

The Stauffenberg taverns were first mentioned in a document in 1262 and thus belong to the ancient nobility . Since they held the hereditary gift office with the Counts of Zollern , "Schenk" became part of their surname. They are named after Stauffenberg Castle, which was lost in the 16th century, within sight of Hohenzollern Castle near Hechingen . From this small ministerial castle above the Starzel , between Stein and Rangendingen , only the farmyard still exists, it itself was located on the steep slope to the Starzel (Stauffenberg = stauffer mountain = steep mountain), where only a few earth movements in the forest are visible to the expert today are. The Zollerian Truchsessen and, since 1317, taverns from Stauffenberg named themselves after this castle .

But there is some evidence to support the assumption that Schenk von Zell was the original, older name of the Stauffenberger. According to this, its origins would have been in Zell Castle (district Hechingen- Boll ), which was lost in the 15th century , of which only the Maria Zell pilgrimage church still exists today. Before the Zollern counts took possession of the mountain, the land around the Zollerberg was the property of the Lords of Zell.

The Stauffenberg taverns belonged to the imperial knighthood (as members of the Swabian knight circle ) and were elevated to imperial baron status in 1692 . In 1785 the Wilflinger line (which died out in 1833) was raised to the status of imperial count , in 1874 a branch of the Amerdinger line, which was split off from the Wilflinger line in 1566 and survived to this day, to the Bavarian count. The other branch of the Amerdinger line remained in the imperial baron class.

After the other Stauffenberg lines became extinct more than a hundred years ago (Katzensteiner line, Bach's line and, most recently, the imperial count Wilflinger line in 1833), all of Stauffenberg's pubs alive today come exclusively from the Amerdinger line . The Amerdinger line was founded by Hans Schenk von Stauffenberg, who came from the Wilflinger line and who, through his marriage (January 26, 1566 in Haunsheim ) to the widow Barbara von Westernach from Bächingen , acquired the Amerdingen manor and thus founded a new line. A branch of the Amerdinger line of Schenken von Stauffenberg (in the imperial baron class since 1698) was raised to the Bavarian count status in 1874 by the Bavarian King Ludwig II . Since then there has been (again) a counts branch of the Stauffenberg taverns (based on Greifenstein, Amerdingen, Lautlingen and Kirchlauter to this day) and a baronial branch (on Wilflingen and Riississen).

All of the Count Schenk von Stauffenberg living today come from the Imperial Baron (from 1874: Count) Franz Ludwig Philipp Schenk von Stauffenberg (* Bamberg May 13, 1801; † Würzburg May 8, 1881) fin Countess Eleonore Butler von Clonebough called von Haimhausen (* Raigenring near Aschach ; † Würzburg February 5, 1861). All Barons Schenk von Stauffenberg living today are descended from his younger brother Friedrich and his sister-in-law Klementine: from Baron Friedrich Schenk von Stauffenberg (* Wetzlar October 23, 1803; † Rississen May 2, 1874) ⚭ Countess Caroline Klementine Butler von Clonebough, gen. von Haimhausen (* Ansbach January 31, 1812; † Lindau November 6, 1879). Just as Franz Ludwig and Friedrich were brothers, their wives Eleonore and Klementine were sisters. The common ancestor of all living taverns of Stauffenberg is the father of the two mentioned brothers Franz Ludwig and Friedrich: Freiherr Adam Friedrich Aloysius Franz Georg Maria Crescentia Schenk von Stauffenberg (* Bamberg March 7, 1767; † Wetzlar May 14, 1808) ⚭ Charlotte von Harff (* Dreyborn November 6, 1777; † Würzburg February 10, 1853).

coat of arms

A red bar in silver, accompanied above and below by a blue striding lion, red-tongued and reinforced with gold. On the uncrowned helmet with blue-silver blankets, a silver-tipped blue (red) tournament hat , in the cuff two outwardly inclined, golden shafts with black cock feathers on top (silver shawms covered with red ).

Last name and salutation

The name component "Schenk", which characterizes the medieval court office of cupbearers , is traditionally placed after the first name with the Stauffenbergs and the higher-ranking, but later awarded, former nobility title "Freiherr or Graf von Stauffenberg" (e.g. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg). This results in the official surname “Schenk Freiherr von Stauffenberg” or “Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg” and, accordingly, the female forms Countess and Freifrau (married) or Freiin (unmarried). The oral address is only "Baron Stauffenberg" or "Graf Stauffenberg", without "Schenk" and "von". ( Barons are traditionally addressed as "baron", barons as "baroness", barons as "baroness".)

The situation is different with most of the other noble families who have former court offices as part of their names, such as the Barons Schenck zu Schweinsberg , the Barons Truchseß von Wetzhausen , the Barons Marschall von Bieberstein , Marshal von Altengottern or the Count Droste zu Vischering - here "sticks" the court office on the name of the ancestral seat, the title of nobility is prefixed and the salutation only names the court office: "Baron Schenck", "Baron Marschall", "Baron Truchseß" etc. The Dalberg, however, had two names in a row, court office and nobility title, both with them Place names connected: "Chamberlain of Worms, Imperial Baron from and to Dalberg". There are or were very numerous noble families who had the gift title as part of their name, see: List of families with the gift title as part of the family name .
