The Schrautenbach family, called Schrautenbach by Weitolshausen since 1515 (also Weitholtshausen , Weitelshausen or Weitolzhausen ) is an aristocratic family who immigrated from Würzburg via Heidelberg to the Landgraviate of Hesse at the end of the 15th century and later became a baronial family. In the 16th and 17th centuries it was part of the Odenwald canton of the Franconian knight circle .

history

The Weitolshausen family called Schrautenbach were wealthy from the Wetterau to the Odenwald . Badenburg near Gießen , built in 1356 , originally a fiefdom of the Hessian landgraves and the counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken-Weilburg, became the property of the family in 1523/24, where it remained for over two centuries. “Under Ludwig Balthasar von Weitolshausen, known as the“ General ” , called Schrautenbach (1654–1738), the castle experienced a certain climax. However, as early as the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th century, it was divided into two parts. One of the owners, Junker Ernst Gottfried Balthasar, contributed to the castle's rapid decline through his mismanagement. He destroyed his stake in the castle seat in a very short time by demolishing and selling everything that had any value. In this way, not through warlike influence, the ruin was created. "

In 1522, Landgrave Philipp von Hessen enfeoffed one of his councilors, Balthasar von Weitolshausen, called Schrautenbach , as a reward for services rendered to the village of Rodau in the Odenwald. At the beginning of the 17th century they had the manor house built for them. Landgrave Ludwig VI. von Hessen-Darmstadt caused the Schrautenbachs in 1671 to exchange their property in Rodau, including their rights regarding labor, hunting, fishing, forest and pasture for the estate in Gundernhausen .

From the middle of the 16th to the middle of the 17th century the Lords of Weitolshausen called Schrautenbach (named after Rietstap Weitelshausen di Schraudenbach ) owned the Schrautenbach'schen Hof in Umstadt . They got the farm from the Landgrave of Hesse as free possession , but all goods in the district remained fiefs.

In 1784 the von Weitolshausen family called Schrautenbach received the Kammerhof in Leeheim as a Hessian fief. However, she only managed the farm for a very short time. It was leased to the Leeheim community.
