Truchseß from Pommersfelden
The Truchseß von Pommersfelden family was an old Franconian noble family and is named as a noble witness with Conrad der Alte Truchseß von Pommersfelden , who is also listed as the ancestor of all lines, and died in 1710 with Friedrich Ernst Truchseß from Pommersfelden.
origin
The name Truchseß von Pommersfelden is derived from the court office Truchsess and the headquarters in Pommersfelden , today a municipality in the Upper Franconian district of Bamberg .
The four classic court offices that were hereditary in local noble families also existed in the bishopric of Bamberg . These existed until the end of the bishopric in 1802, but sank to sinecure in the 17th century . In the 13th to 15th century the Bamberg bishops contributed the highest prince of the kingdom of these functions as bambergisches fief on: Obertruchsess was the Elector Palatine, Upper Schenk king of Bohemia, Marshal of the King of Saxony and treasurer of the Elector of Brandenburg. These did not perceive the dignities themselves, but instead enfeoffed local noble families as afterfeeds.
The office of Bamberg inheritance was initially held by the Truchseß von Pommersfelden family. In 1710 it died out in the male line and thus fell back as a settled fiefdom to the Elector of Bavaria, who in 1628 had also taken over the office of chief trustee from the Palatinate with the electoral dignity.
