The coat of arms of the Waldstromer

The Waldstromer von Reichelsdorf were one of the oldest patrician families in the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned in a document in 1230. The Waldstromer were represented in the Inner Council from 1729 until the end of the imperial city period in 1806 .

history

The Waldstromer (also called Strohmeyer , Stromeir , Stromair or also Stromeyr ) were first mentioned in a document around 1230, probably came from a family of Staufer imperial ministers , the Ramungen von Kammerstein - Reichenbach - Schwabach and were closely related to the Stromer von Reichenbach . It is unclear whether the two families came from one line.

As the successor to the Reichsbutger, you received the imperial fief over the Lorenz imperial forest as early as the beginning of the 13th century and exercised the post of imperial forest master. Due to the office conferred on them and to distinguish them from the other line, they were renamed from Stromer to Waldstromer.

The Reichsforstmeisteramt belonged to the hereditary Reichsamt and was also called Waldstromamt after its fiefs. Due to its size, the fiefdom was divided into two families around 1243. The Waldstromer retained the office named after them and owned almost all forest judicial functions, including the Zeidelgericht. The Koler, who were hierarchically below them, a sideline of the Koler von Neunhof , received the forester's office and adopted their official title as a family name.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Waldstromer, Koler and their hereditary foresters severely damaged the forest by granting excessive usage rights for glass furnaces, iron smelting and charcoal burning . Since it was of central importance for the imperial city of Nuremberg as a supplier of raw materials, the Inner Council tried to take over the forest. In 1396 the Waldstromers sold their fiefdom to the city of Nuremberg after the city of Nuremberg was able to acquire the forester's office from the Koler in 1372. The council kept the division into two parts until 1440 and awarded the forest electricity office to a head forester and the forester's office to a sub-forest master.

The Waldstromer still kept their property in Reichelsdorf, Eibach and Gostenhof at that time.

In contrast to the Stromer, they were not co-opted into the patriciate until 1729 and were allowed to send members to the Inner Council. With Christoph Wilhelm Waldstromer, they provided the last Nuremberg imperial school. Enrolled in the Bavarian aristocracy as nobles in 1813, the Waldstromers died out in 1844.
