Weitbruch (noble family)
The family of those of Weitbruch was a low noble , Alsatian gender, for since 1166 Weitbruch is attested and its surroundings.
history
In the document of 1166, in which the name is mentioned for the first time, the sale of extensive lands is attested.
The von Weitbruch were resident in the town of the same name, which belonged to the Brumath office of the Lichtenberg rule , and from 1480 to the Hanau-Lichtenberg county .
In the years 1393, 1399 and 1400 there is a documented Johannes Scheffer who refers to himself at times on the maternal side as " Widow's son of Weitbruch ". After his father Lütfried (also Lüthold) Schäffer (Schüsser) was killed in the Battle of Sempach, he founded the Schäfer line in what was then the county of Hauenstein .
There was also a male tribe of those from Weitbruch who carried the name on. A fiefdom for a property located in Weitbruch was initially due to Joychen Claus von Wipruch in 1457 and then passed to his widow Margred (from 1476–1481) and then to Joichen Hans von Wipruch (1483). The beneficiary of the St. George monastery in Haguenau , Johann von Wipruch, named in 1462, is unlikely to agree with the aforementioned, as he would have been over 90 years old at that time.
