Weingarten (noble family)
The lords of Weingarten were a German noble family who named themselves after the Palatinate village of Weingarten .
Family history
The family is documented from 1226, since 1477 they belonged to the feudal men of the Palatinate electors . Their ancestral castle near Weingarten was destroyed in 1525, the remains removed in the 18th century. There is still the "Ritter-von-Weingarten-Straße" , as well as a "Ritter-von-Weingarten-Schule" .
In 1343 they were able to acquire Berwartstein Castle , but already four years later, for 800 pounds Heller, they sold it to the Weißenburg monastery . In the 15th century they received Diemerstein Castle via the Electoral Palatinate .
As early as 1423, the imperial village of Freimersheim , near Landau in the Palatinate , was given to the Junker Hans von Weingarten as a fief. The noble family also acquired their own property there and stayed here until it died out. The village of Kleinfischlingen belonged to Erpho von Weingarten as early as 1297 and was owned by the family as an Electoral Palatinate fief from 1477 .
Guda von Weingarten was married to the knight Adam von Bach and brought him family property in Billigheim and Mühlhofen as marriage property . 1420 the husband purchased the from Speyer bishop to be awarded Burglehen Deidesheim . Adam von Bach died in 1452, the Deidesheimer Burglehen first went to his wife, from her in 1461 to the son Georg von Bach, who died in 1497. This Georg von Bach is of particular importance for Deidesheim , as he founded the local Catholic parish church of St. Ulrich , which was built between 1462 and 1480. In a register of masses from the 18th century he is named as the founder of the house of God. Accordingly, the foremost vault keystone of the nave bears the family coat of arms of the Lords of Bach . Also the mother Guda born. Von Weingarten seems to have been involved in the foundation, because the keystone to the west shows the family coat of arms of the von Weingarten family.
In 1536 the nobles in Weingarten introduced the Lutheran creed. The last male offspring of the family died in 1685 and was buried in the choir of the Protestant Church in Freimersheim. His tombstone is preserved here. The village fief fell to the Electoral Palatinate, the family estate was bought by the Counts of Bassenheim , and in 1724 the Speyer Cathedral Monastery .
