Volen von Wildenau

Coat of arms with the deer head of the Volen von Wildenau

The Volen von Wildenau were the owners of Wildenau Castle and the hamlet of Rübgarten near Pliezhausen , which was called "the village in Rübgarten" in the 14th century. They were servants of the Count Palatine of Tübingen and related to the Lords of Lustnau , with whom they had the same coat of arms, the deer head.

history

This family with the surname Vol often appears in documents from the Count Palatine of Tübingen and the Bebenhausen Monastery , where they had their hereditary burial place. The first known is H [einricus] de Wildenowe, in an Adelberg document from 1232. Otherwise names like Konrad, Hans, Albert, Wilhelm, Adam appear. The following names can be found on Bebenhauser tombstones:

  • Hans Wendel von Wildenau, called Vol († 76 years old on June 16, 1579)
  • young Hans Wendel († 45 years old on August 20, 1577)

In 1406 two brothers of the Volen von Wildenau had a disgusting argument. The older one had the castle and didn't want to give the younger one anything, but said he should talk to wars. The younger brother sued the older one at the court in Rottweil , but the older one disregarded the verdict; thereupon he called the town of Rottweil for help and received crew and artillery from them, with which he drove the older one and completely destroyed the castle.

With Tübingen in 1342 the upper fiefdom came over the Volen from Wildenau to Württemberg ; the jurisdiction over Wildenau and Rübgarten then belonged to the Württemberg people.
