The von Stiebar family was a Frankish noble family . A sideline in Austria has outlasted the family's extinction in the homeland around Buttenheim .
history
The von Stiebar family is documented in the period from 1304 to 1762 in the knight cantons of Gebürg , Steigerwald and Rhön-Werra . In 1396, the Stiebar were among the founding families of the Association of Fürspänger . The sex rose to the rank of imperial baron . Several abbesses and Teutonic knights sprang from him . In the period from 1377 to 1560, at least fourteen members of this family were canons in the monasteries of Bamberg and Würzburg . The Würzburg canon Daniel Stiebar von Buttenheim (1503–1555) contributed significantly to the humanistic education of the clergyman and humanist Erasmus Neustetter called Stürmer , fragments of his grave slab are in the nave of the Würzburg Cathedral . Brigitta von Stiebar was the last superior of the Schluesselau monastery , the family held other spiritual positions there and in St. Theodor in Bamberg.
The heart of the von Stiebar family's property is the village of Buttenheim , where the Upper Castle (also Deichselburg) and the Lower Castle were located. They owned three other castles in Aisch Pretzfeld and Ermreuth . At least shares in the localities of Kalteneggolsfeld , Siegritz , Morschreuth , Hemhofen , Heßdorf , Hagenbach , Rabeneck , Stiebarlimbach, Dietzhof , Regensberg and Waischenfeld were also part of the property . With some distance they also appeared briefly in Stružná in today's Czech Republic .
Related sexes in the late Middle Ages were the ox from Gunzendorf , the von Lüchau and the von Guttenberg .
Buttenheim
The Upper Castle (square with wall and four corner towers) was destroyed by flames in the Peasants' War in 1525 and no longer rebuilt. Today's Buttenheim Castle is the so-called Lower Castle, which originally served as a bower for the von Lichtenstein family and was taken over by the Stiebars in 1438, along with other properties in Buttenheim.
At that time, the Stiebars had jurisdiction over life and death in Buttenheim, which was transferred to them from the Schlüsselbergers . The Lower Castle, owned by the Stiebars, was burned down several times, for example in 1492 in the “bloody feud between Albrecht Stiebar the Younger and Prince-Bishop Heinrich III. Groß von Trockau ”, in 1525 by“ rebellious people from outside the area ”and again in 1561 due to the carelessness of a castle servant who forgot to turn off the light in his room before falling asleep. Hans Joachim von Stiebar, who was elected First Council of Knights of the canton of Gebürg for the Bamberg and Forchheim area in 1574 and thus enjoyed a great reputation, had the damage repaired.
The Stiebars confessed to the Lutheran denomination very early on, which is evidenced, among other things, by the fact that the employment of a Protestant preacher at Buttenheim Castle was mentioned in a document as early as 1591.
During the Thirty Years War , the Stiebar's possessions were confiscated by imperial orders in 1630 because they had taken part in the battles of the Uniate , so Buttenheim and with it the Lower Palace came into the possession of Prince Georg Ludwig von Schwarzenberg for a few years . In the Peace of Westphalia the Stiebar got their property back in 1648.
In 1741 the still existing chapel was built next to the ruins of the castle, which had been destroyed by the chaos of war, but the castle owners had to live in an outbuilding.
In 1762, with the death of Baron Johann Georg Christoph Wilhelm von Stiebar, the main Franconian line of this family became extinct. Their fiefs went back to the monasteries Bamberg and Würzburg and in part also to the Duchy of Saxony-Coburg. The property remained with the heirs, the widow and the daughters.
In 1761, the Brandenburg Chamberlain Wilhelm Christian Friedrich von Seefried married Elisabeth Sofie von Stiebar, whom he had met as a student of law in Erlangen. A few years after the marriage they moved to Buttenheim. Since the Lower Palace, apart from "the medieval, massive, square tower covered with a mansard roof, was destroyed or destroyed by fire ...", Wilhelm Christian Friedrich von Seefried added the current baroque palace to the still existing tower in 1774, in which the Protestant castle chapel is still located. The barons of Seefried still live in the castle today.
Sideline in Austria
The name Stiebar also appeared late in Austria (compare Stiebar Castle near Gresten , Achaz von Stiebar as the founder of the Linz State Theater , Allhartsberg , Münzbach ). Possibly due to the relationship with the Wittelsbach family , a branch of the Stiebar emigrated via Bavaria to Austria in the 16th century.
