Hiltelingen moated castle

The moated castle Hiltelingen was a pond house destroyed in 1678 , which the Lords of Rotberg last had as a fief of the Margraves of Baden-Durlach . It was on the outskirts of Hiltelingen, which today belongs to the hamlet of Haltingen .

history

prehistory

In the village of Hiltelingen there was the Lords of Hiltelingen, a local lower nobility who, however, increasingly oriented towards Kleinbasel . In the reports about the Basel earthquake of 1356 , many destroyed or damaged castles and palaces are mentioned. Since none is mentioned in Hiltelingen, it can be assumed that the castle did not yet exist, but that the manor was a manor.

The lords of the castle

The builder of the moated castle is the Basel Achtburger and art patron Mathias Eberler called Grünenzweig, who is mentioned in 1486 as the owner of a pond castle in Hiltelingen. The construction of the castle can therefore be assumed around 1480. Around 1538 and 1540, documents suggest that the Basel councilor Andreas Bischoff - an extensive relative of the Eberler family - was the lord of the castle. The family was the owner until 1517 at the latest, when Jakob Imely from Basel appears in the documents. A new owner from Basel, Ludwig Umstorffer, was recorded as early as 1524 and sold to Hans Güthlin. In 1555 the heirs of the former Röttler Burgvogts , Ulrich Müller, sold the castle to the Margrave Karl , because Müller and his heirs could not pay a fine for embezzlement.

Margrave Karl sold the castle to his Röttler Landvogt Hans Albrecht von Anweil , who took it over as an inheritance from the margraves. Hans Wolf von Anweil ​​sold his fiefdom in 1597 with the approval of the margrave to Adam Hektor von Rosenbach . In 1653 the castle came to the Major Jakob Ulrich von Plato for a short time. Through his daughter Maria Luzia von Plato, the castle finally came in 1677 through marriage to Georg Jakob Christof von Rotberg-Bamlach (1652–1727).

The downfall

During the Dutch War , on February 6, 1678, a French army under Marshal François de Créquy with about 10,000 men camped between Binzen (headquarters), Eimeldingen and Haltingen . The 25-man crew of Schloss Friedlingen was asked to surrender . While the commandant of Friedlingen Castle, Johann Jakob Christof von Rotberg, was still negotiating with the marshal and wanted to persuade him that the castle's crew consisted of neutral Swiss, the castles in Friedlingen and Hiltelingen (there were only seven men in the crew) were closed on March 6th February 1678 captured by French troops and the one in Hiltelingen burned afterwards.

For the Baron von Rotberg the matter had an aftermath, since the Margrave Friedrich Magnus held him responsible for the loss of the locks and brought him to a court martial. Rotberg evaded this by fleeing to Basel.

The castle was not rebuilt and the remaining walls were torn down and the ditches and ponds filled in.
