A first attributable name was already mentioned in the Lorsch Codex in 838 , when a Wambalt gave the Lorsch Monastery property in Durchila ( Dortelweil ) and Leoderbach (Liederbach - not clear whether Unterliederbach or Oberliederbach ) in Niddagau .
The family appears in a document with Conradus Waenbolt in 1243 . He is mentioned in 1252 as Burgmann ( castrensis ) Conrad gen Reis von Brueberc ( Burg Breuberg ). All later vambolts come from Umstadt by him (also called Conrad I ) and his third son Rudolf (documented in 1272 and 1279). A Conrad Wambolt was Komtur of the Johanniterhaus in Wizzele in 1332 . From 1306 they called themselves Wambolt von Umstadt. Umstadt , their ancestral seat, was given to them by the lords of the condominium, the Fulda monastery , the count palatine and the Hessian landgrave .

Possessions
The gentlemen Wambolt von Umstadt belonged to the imperial knighthood in the knightly canton of Odenwald of the Franconian knight circle . Because of the partial ownership (two thirds) of Partenheim and Weitersweiler , they were also enrolled in the knight canton Upper Rhine of the Rhenish knight circle . They held the office of Birkenau since 1721 as a Mainz fief . In the Umstadt area they owned the Alte Wamboltschen Hof (today called Heddersdorf'scher Adelshof ), the Wambolt'sche Castle and fiefdoms in the Umstadt domain .
In the early Middle Ages they had free float in the Niddagau, the Wetterau and in the Wildbann Dreieich . In the area where they were later named "Umstadt" they were z. B. Forest property in Klein-Umstadt , estates in Hergershausen , real estate in Babenhausen and Sickenhofen , the sub - jurisdiction and the so-called Kanneln-Gut in Lengfeld , the Wambold'sche Hofgut in Ober-Klingen , interest-bearing property and an Erbleihhof in Richen , Lehen the Electoral Palatinate in Heubach , a Burgmannenhaus and an estate with over 100 acres of land in Kleestadt , up to six farms in property and, after the Gans von Otzberg, later the Electoral Palatinate Regional Settlement Court in Wiebelsbach , the same in Groß -zimmer first from the Katzenelnbogenern , later from the house Hessen-Darmstadt , with a mill as a fief, in the village of Raibach the bailiwick according to Fulda law since 1306, in Habitzheim they had real estate as well as a mill in the hamlet of Huppelnheim, which was lost in the Bavarian feud in 1504 . Since Umstadt's condominium , they had been enfeoffed by various condominium owners with the bailiwick and the entire village of Wächtersbach since the 13th century .
The village also went under completely in 1504. Split off family branches of Zeisisch von Otzberg , Wambolt von Hetschbach and probably also the Schelle von Umstadt and Schelle von Amorbach had scattered holdings around Hetschbach and Otzberg in the Odenwald . In the 19th century, Hetschbach was the Bailiwick of Wambolt and is still the seat of the Wambolt Rent and Forestry Office. In 1495, like the condominium lords of the Electoral Palatinate, they owned a quarter of the wine tenth. As a single city nobles were allowed them, on market days itself Wine pour out . Around the so-called Wamboltsche Schlösschen , which was actually a remnant of a Roman estate, there was Wamboldsch forest property of more than 14 hectares , which is now owned by the Kurhessische Hausstiftung .
The aristocratic family never succeeds in acquiring property that belongs together. Only in 1721, with the rule of the Birkenau office, does it come into the ownership of a larger contiguous area.
