history

The name Truchseß von Baldersheim is derived from the court office Truchsess in the entourage of the Hohenlohe family and the eponymous village Baldersheim, today part of the city of Aub in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg . It was first mentioned in 1284. The family split early into the Balbach and Waldmannshofen lines.

The Truchseß von Baldersheim were mainly represented in what is now the southern district of Würzburg and had other possessions in Central Franconia and in the neighboring area of Baden-Württemberg . At the end of the 14th century the former vassals of the Hohenlohe-Brauneck had the chance of their own domain due to the extinction of the family. Through trusting relationships with their feudal lords, in addition to the Hohenlohe family, also the Würzburg prince-bishop Gerhard von Schwarzburg , they acquired several properties with the center of Aub, which was made a town in 1404 . Part of the property was sold to the Rosenberg family in the 15th century . The Truchseß von Baldersheim are related to the Seckendorff family and numerous other families of the lower nobility.

In 1602 the Truchseß family died out from Baldersheim. Their possessions reverted to the Würzburg monastery .
