From the hoods

Coat of arms of those of the hoods

The sex of the hoods counted in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period to the lower nobility of northeastern Vorderpfalz that the country today Rhineland-Palatinate belongs. Representatives are mentioned in several registers of nobility in the region as being resident in the two neighboring villages of Dirmstein and Gerolsheim .

Origin of name

The origin of the name is unclear. Because the terms hood and helmet were often used synonymously in the Middle Ages, there is a high likelihood of a connection with the military , which is also indicated by the helmet on the coat of arms. This could point to a warlike disposition of the family that came to light at the time the name was created.

Name bearer

Veltin von der Hauben

Veltin (Valentin) von der Hauben , who was described as having a lot of children, sold a small castle near the church in Dirmsteiner Oberdorf to the Lords of Affenstein in 1510 , which was later sold . The castle was named after them. In 1521 Veltin was among the people to whom the bishop of Worms , Reinhard II of Rippur , and the elector of the Palatinate, Ludwig V , guaranteed the "ancient knightly freedoms of the nobles of Dirmstein". Veltin's mention by name suggests that he was the patriarch of the lineage at the time. In 1508 two of his sisters and four daughters became Cistercians in the nearby Rosenthal monastery and brought the entire village of Breunigweiler into the monastery property .

Hildegard von der Hauben

Hildegard von der Hauben appears in 1485 as the Cistercian abbess of the Heilsbruck monastery near Edenkoben . She must also have been a sister of Veltin.

Erasmus of the hoods

Erasmus von der Hauben , possibly a son of Veltin, was mentioned for his involvement in the Peasants' War . In the Dirmstein archives he is referred to as a vassal . What is probably meant by this is the fact that the von der Hauben family had been enfeoffed with property in Dirmstein by the Elector Palatinate and Erasmus had nevertheless sided with the rebellious farmers. Under his leadership, insurgents razed the Affenstein Castle , the Episcopal and Electoral Palatinate Castle and the Augustinian Prosecution in Dirmstein on June 4, 1525 , which was later rebuilt as the Quadtsches Castle . Nothing is known about the further fate of Erasmus; In particular, it remains to be seen whether he was called to account after the peasant uprising was put down.

Hans von der Hauben

Hans von der Hauben , possibly another son of Veltin, was involved in the inheritance of the Dirmstein knights. Their plan to build a house with a knight's hall for their gatherings was approved on May 11, 1535 by Elector Ludwig V, his brother, Count Palatine Friedrich II , and their third brother Heinrich IV , the Bishop of Worms; shortly afterwards, Emperor Charles V also agreed to the project. The building was destroyed a century and a half later when French troops burned down the whole of Dirmstein in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 ; The St. Michael Pharmacy is now in operation in the subsequent building from the early 18th century .

Wolfgang von der Hauben

A Wolfgang von der Hauben , named in the source Wolfgangus von der Huben de Dirmstein , possibly also a son of Veltin in terms of age, enrolled at the University of Basel in the winter semester 1509/10 . A source about a possible doctorate is not known.

Valentin von der Hauben

Valentin von der Hauben , possibly a grandson or great-grandson of Veltin and probably named after him, was the previous owner and seller of a larger residential building with adjoining land, which was located in the south of the Dirmsteiner Oberdorf am Eckbach and was acquired in 1602 by the important local nobleman Caspar Lerch . The area was redesigned into a basement garden around 1790 by Lerch's descendants, the lords of Sturmfeder .
