Weveld
Weveld is a Bavarian noble family that has become extinct in the male line.
history
The ancestor of the family is Anton Weveld, who presumably lived in Mainz until his death in 1659. He was named in 1644 by Emperor Ferdinand III. (HRR) , together with his nephews (Anton, Peter, Hans Philipp and Johann Sigmund Weveld), raised to the hereditary Austrian imperial nobility and imperial baron status. The imperial deed makes the disenfranchisement visible: In the Thirty Years' War Anton Weveld held the military rank of an imperial field sergeant, so he was one of the imperial generals who fought on the front line. He earned military merits by defending the town of Hagen against the Swedish king Gustav Adolf and his troops. Weveld fought there, among other things, in the regiment of Count Berthold von Wallenstein (actually Waldstein, approx. 1604-1632), a Couin Albrechts von Wallenstein .
In 1713 Wilhelm Adam Balduin Freiherr von Weveld, who was in the service of the Principality of Palatinate-Neuburg , acquired a splendid city residence in Neuburg an der Donau , the baronial Giesische Hauß , and in 1721 the Hofmark Sinning. The baron added a baroque wing in the French style to the associated castle . Wilhelm Adam Balduin Freiherr von Weveld was married twice: In the first marriage, which remained childless, with Maria Elisabetha Freiin von Biedenfeld (or Piedenfeld), with whom he probably lived in his Neuburg city palace and consequently there in 1715 the double coat of arms of the Wevelds and Biedenfelds above Had the main portal installed, and in her second marriage to the sister of his first wife, Maria Amalie Magdalena, née Freiin von Biedenfeld, widowed Baroness Tänzl von Tratzberg. Since church law forbade marriage between brothers-in-law at the time , Wilhelm had to obtain the Pope's dispensation by paying a large sum . Since 1671 the von Weveld were also owned by the Steinfels lordship. Several family members are buried in the crypt of the nearby parish church of St. Pankratius in Parkstein .
Another enrollment in the Kingdom of Bavaria with the Freiherrenklasse took place on July 7, 1810 for Christof Anton Freiherr von Weveld. The Palatine court chamber councilor and later royal Bavarian chamberlain was the master of Sinning, Seiboldsdorf , Hennenweidach , Steinfels and Grub. In 1825 he handed over the Sinning estate to his son, the lawyer Johann Baptist Freiherr von Weveld, who significantly rebuilt and expanded the Hofmark Sinning:
- He acquired the nearby village inn and bought the two farms between the castle and the inn, had them demolished and instead built a brewery with a summer cellar ... He had large areas of water around the castle, located on a foothill of the Danube moss, drained by sand and built it Large stables and pasture areas for keeping animals as well as a large gardening facility. As the largest “employer” in the entire area, he had meticulous records of his business operations .
In 1828 Eduard von Weveld was enrolled in the Baron Class in the Kingdom of Bavaria by the highest decree.
The sex has died out in the male line. The last female descendant, Gertrud Maria Amelie Hermine Freiin von Weveld, married. Drossbach, carried the name Freifrau von Weveld.
