family

Werner I von Falkenstein was a son of Count Philipp I von Falkenstein (* around 1200, † 1271) and his wife Isengard von Münzenberg .

It is not clear who Werner was married to in his first marriage. Only the following child is known from this marriage:

From his second marriage to Mathilde von Diez (* 1238, † 1288) the following children emerged:

  • Philip III von Falkenstein , Lord of Munzenberg (* around 1257, † February 9, 1322)
  • Kuno I. von Falkenstein (* unknown, † unknown)
  • Werner von Falkenstein (* unknown, † after 1293)
  • Ulrich von Falkenstein (* unknown, † after 1317)
  • Isengard von Falkenstein (* 1260 in Münzenberg, † after 1316, married to Siegfried von Eppstein before December 18, 1290 )

Life

His father called himself Philipp I von Falkenstein since around 1220 - even before Werner was born. Before that he appeared as Philip IV von Bolanden, because the Lords of Falkenstein are actually a sideline of the Lords of Bolanden. The name Falkenstein, used around 1220, comes from his Falkenstein castle on the Donnersberg. However, the family moved their center of life to Hesse, since from 1255 the father received one sixth of the Munzenberg inheritance through his wife, including the rule of Königstein, Assenheim and the Dreieich forest. The father inherited in 1258 the Ministerialengeschlecht Münzenberg and thus the bailiwick about the Wetterau and the Reichsvogtei in Dreieich forest. This made the Taunus region the new center of life for the family.

The first known documentary mention of Werner comes from 1256.

After the father's death around 1271/1272 the Falkenstein family was divided into two lines: Werner I von Falkenstein was the founder of the Licher line, his brother Philipp II was the first ruler of the Butzbach line. At the end of the 13th century - under the reign of Werner I - the lords of Falkenstein acquired a share of five-sixths in the rule of Munzenberg through exchanges and purchases. As early as 1295 - after a further division of the Munzenberg inheritance - Werner I took his seat away from the Munzenburg in nearby Lich.
