Wasungen (noble families)
Three noble families who were not related to each other are referred to as lords of Wasungen . They were based at Maienluft Castle in Wasungen .
The older tribe of the Lords of Wasungen was not related to the Counts of Henneberg and probably died out around 1157.
The younger tribe of the Lords of Wasungen seems to have been a branch line of the Henneberger, which was one of several branches of the family that were jointly referred to as "Popponian lines" after their progenitor Poppo II. They did not have the title of count and are mentioned between 1107 and 1200.
The youngest tribe, who call themselves the "Lords of Wasungen", were low-nobility ministerials working for the Counts of Henneberg. They are mentioned between 1217 and 1265.
history
The older tribe of the Lords of Wasungen
The older tribe of the Lords of Wasungen was not related to the Counts of Henneberg. The last representative was probably the noble Siegfried von Wasungen , who died in 1157. The castle in Wasungen, mentioned for the first time in 1190, probably existed at that time, as Siegfried was named after Wasungen. Siegfried von Wasungen was partially inherited by Markward von Grumbach , who together with his mother founded the Ichtershausen monastery .
The Popponian line of the Lords of Wasungen (younger tribe)
The younger tribe of the Lords of Wasungen probably goes back to the Henneberger Poppo II († 1118). He was the younger brother of the ruling Count Godebold II of Henneberg († 1144). Poppo II was the progenitor of several "Popponian lines" named after him. He had the following three sons, each of whom founded the lines named after their ancestral home:
- Poppo III. von Irmelshausen (* before 1131; † 1160)
- Ludwig I. von Lengsfeld (1137–1164), von Frankenstein (* before 1131, † after 1164)
- Gotebold III. von Wasungen (* 1107; † after 1164).
According to the tradition of the Reinhardsbrunn monastery , Gotebold von Wasungen regards a thesis that is controversial today as the youngest son of Poppo II. Another assumption is that Gotebold, through marriage around 1150, became heirs to the older gentlemen of Wasungen. There is documentary evidence of a Gotebold III. However, without the addition of "von Wasungen", he was named in several documents as the brother of Ludwig von Frankenstein, but is no longer mentioned afterwards.
Poppo von Wasungen († 1198/1199), born before 1176, and an Otto von Wasungen (1200) are the sons of Gotebold III. viewed. Even if the first name "Poppo" was widespread among the Hennebergers at this time, a clear ancestry is not proven. Because Poppo von Wasungen had relationships with the Ichtershausen Monastery, which was founded by Markward von Grumbach, the partial heir to the estate of Siegfried von Wasungen. Poppo von Wasungen was married to a daughter of Erwin von Tonna / Gleichen . He managed to establish feudal relationships with the Archdiocese of Mainz . A list of the estranged goods of the Archdiocese of Mainz from 1190 shows that Poppo von Wasungen had given the castle and the eponymous patch to the archbishopric as a fief.
Poppo's presumed son is Heinrich von Wasungen, who appears in a document from the Würzburg bishop in 1217. In a document from the year 1228 he is named as a nobleman. It is unclear whether it is the same person who appears in a document in 1232 among the Heneneberg and Fulda servants, but it is very likely.
The Henneberg Ministerials from Wasungen
At this time, a lower nobility of the same name can be distinguished from the noble free von Wasungen, whose first known representative, Marquard von Wasungen, in the document of the Würzburg bishop from 1217 as ministerial of Berthold III. von Henneberg is mentioned. The lords of Wasungen mentioned up to 1265 cannot be assigned to exactly one family. But Friedrich, mentioned in 1265, clearly belongs to the Wasung family. He was Ministerialer to Count von Henneberg.
Transfer of Wasungen to Henneberg ownership
Around 1228, the small lordship of Wasungen was apparently given to the Counts of Henneberg as a fief. Since then she has shared the fate of the Henneberg countries. From 1274 Wasungen, with the castle as the official seat, belonged to the Henneberg-Schleusingen count line.
