Wolfershausen (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lords of Wolfershausen were a nobility in Niederhessen that flourished in the 13th century and died out in the male line in 1454 . Its seat was initially in Wolfershausen , today a part of Felsberg in the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse . They were a branch of the Lords of Rengshausen , a village near Homberg (Efze) and today's district of the Knüllwald community in the Schwalm-Eder district in northern Hesse .

origin

Hermann von Rengoldehusen was probably in 1219 or soon after, succeeding Albert V. of Schauenburg , the Archbishopric of Mainz with several producers comprehensive high court "Ditmelle" in Kassel belehnt been, but was quickly - no later than 1225 - of the Ludowinger Landgrave Heinrich Raspe IV. , Who claimed the feudal right for himself, was ousted from this office and replaced there by the Kassel mayor . He went to Wolfershausen, where he received the Wolfershausen court as a Mainz feudal man and delivered his tithe to the St. Petri Stift in Fritzlar, Mainz . In Wolfershausen he moved into the small Wolfershausen Castle , which he either already found or built himself. His brother Wiederhold stayed in Rengshausen and his descendants kept the gender name of Rengshausen.

Coat of arms of those of Wolfershausen

Hermann's sons Hermann d. J. and Heinrich called themselves partly after their old and partly after their new residence until 1275, but from 1275 only “von Wolfershausen” and “von Wulfeshusen”. Her coat of arms , shown for the first time in 1259, shows a wolf running to the right ( heraldically ) and three rings in the lower field, symbolizing the origin of the Rengshausen family. A third brother known by name was Widerold (Wederoldus), a canon at St. Petri-Stift in Fritzlar , where he was proclaimed from 1247 to 1274.

Turbulent 13th century

Hermann's sons Hermann d. J. and Heinrich did not give up their claim to the Ditmelle court and pursued a rocking policy between the archbishopric on the one hand and the landgraves on the other in order to realize this claim, which ultimately led to the total destruction of their castle.

After Heinrich Raspe IV's younger brother, Konrad von Thuringia , who administered the Hessian possessions of the Ludowingians, besieged and damaged the Mainz Heiligenburg near Gensungen, only six kilometers from Wolfershausen, on his campaign against Fritzlar in 1232 , Archbishop Siegfried III commissioned them. the two brothers, who were probably also Burgmannen at the Heiligenburg, with its restoration. While they were still busy, they switched to the landgrave's side, presumably in the hope that this would help them regain Ditmelle court. The angry archbishop then engulfed them in a feud in which they and their rear inmates suffered severe damage.

When the last Ludowinger Landgrave, Heinrich Raspe IV., Suddenly died in February 1247 without heirs, the brothers immediately tried to find a settlement with the archbishopric. Archbishop Siegfried came in very handy, as he could use vassals resident in this area in his subsequent dispute about the Hessian legacy of the Ludowingers with Duchess Sophie von Brabant and her young son Heinrich the child . As early as March 26, 1247, the two declared in Fritzlar that they had already become the archbishop's ministerial officer during their father's lifetime because of the deprivation of courts by the landgrave . The latter then gave them the Ditmelle court and the associated main courts - which he considered to have fallen back after the Ludowingers died out - partly under feudal law , partly as pledge . In addition, he promised them 200 marks as compensation for the damage caused by his troops during the reconstruction of the Heiligenburg as well as 80 marks as castle wages for their service on the Heiligenburg and 20 marks for the purchase of the hooves necessary for the castle seat ; To this end, he pledged his tithes, estimated at 250 marks, in Kassel and Volthagen, and provided a guarantee for the remaining 50 marks . In return, the two brothers committed to an annual payment of 8 marks from their own property and took an oath of loyalty because of the castle hat .

Nevertheless, they later joined - the exact time of this renewed change of sides is not entirely clear - the Duchess Sophie von Brabant and her son Heinrich I , who after Heinrich Raspe's death claimed the legacy of the Ludowingers in Hesse and Thuringia and for years in bitter quarrel with the Wettins and the Archbishopric of Mainz. In 1270 they still had a Mainz castle seat on the Heiligenburg, in 1272 they were in Fritzlar with peaceful intent, and in spring 1273 they defended the Heiligenburg against an attack by landgraves' troops until it was completely destroyed. By the summer of 1273, however, they found themselves in a grim feud with the city and the St. Petri-Stift Fritzlar, which they inflicted heavy damage with raids, looting and devastation in their areas. Thereupon the city sent an armed contingent to Wolfershausen in the late summer or autumn of 1273, which destroyed the castle of the knights so completely that rebuilding it no longer seemed worthwhile. The St. Petri-Stift was obviously not directly involved in this punitive action, which can be deduced from the fact that in December 1273 the city sent the monastery a cost calculation for the penal train and a corresponding demand for payment, but then waived the reimbursement of these costs in 1274 . In 1292, only two courtyards are mentioned in a deed of conveyance from Hermann von Wolfershausen, which were located on the site of the former castle and its outer bailey (“preurbium”); Parts of the wall of the old churchyard around the fortified church built in the village may still come from the former castle. In April 1275, the von Wolfershausen family came to an agreement with the Petri-Stift regarding a mill near Obervorschütz , which may have been the cause of the feud. The von Wolfershausen were and remained vassals of the Hessian landgraves.

Another story

With one exception, that of Wolf von Wolfershausen in the first half of the 15th century, the Lords of Wolfershausen no longer played a prominent role in the history of Lower Hesse. They appear in documents almost exclusively as witnesses or guarantors in the case of transfers of ownership or confirmations of income, occasionally also as members of arbitration tribunals. Between 1247 and 1294 Hermann, his brother Widerold ( canon of Fritzlar), Arnold and Heinrich are mentioned in a document at least three dozen times in such a capacity, occasionally together with their cousins ​​in Rengshausen. Much less often they themselves appear as parties in deeds of ownership or deeds.

In 1260, Count Gottfried III. von Reichenbach that he had peculiarly given the hooves in Büchenwerra , which Hermann von Wolfershausen had carried from him to fief and resigned, to the monastery Breitenau and that Hermann von Wolfershausen had one hoof in "Vylmar" ( Ober- or Niedervellmar ) against another Hooves got transferred in Büchenwerra. In 1274 the Fritzlar canon Widerold von Wolfershausen donated two hooves he had inherited to the Haina monastery in Oberndorf for his and his ancestors' salvation . In 1290 Hermann von Wolfershausen the Elder sold J. and his wife Elisabeth bought their property in Rautenhausen at the Bubenbach monastery . In 1291 Hermann von Wolfershausen sold half a manse to Bergheim to the Deutschordensballei Hessen in Marburg . In the following year he sold the Haina monastery an annual interest from goods in Udenborn and at the same time transferred the monastery further interest of two chickens and 40 eggs. In 1294, Hermann von Wolfershausen was one of the witnesses on a document from Landgrave Heinrich I when he bought part of Schartenberg Castle . In 1307 Heinrich von Wolfershausen sold Abbot Sigfried von Breitenau an annual pension.

From 1323 at the latest, when Hermann's son Heinrich and the other Burgmannen attested to documents from the Melsungen mayor (and until 1454) the von Wolfershausen were then Landgrave Burgmanns in Melsungen . Also in 1332 Heinrich was one of the castle men who attested to documents from the Melsung mayor. In 1335 Heinrich and his wife sold their farm and the court in Emserberg , which the von Wolfershausen had acquired through marriage in 1304, to the knight Konrad Wackermaul and his wife Gertrud. In 1340 Heinrich von Wolfershausen and his wife transferred goods to the Breitenau monastery, as their son Johannes was accepted into the monastery as a student.

In 1358 Hermann von Wolfershausen, presumably Heinrich's son, was mentioned in a document with Melsung castle men and citizens. He was wealthy in Obermelsungen and Körle , among others , in Körle together with his brother or cousin Tyle von Wolfershausen. Even in 1375 he was still a Melsunger Burgmann. In 1376 he received a quarter of the court of Rengshausen as a Hessian fief, whose property was already considerably fragmented at that time, and shortly after 1376 he also held a third of the court of Quentel from Landgrave Hermann II . Henne (Hans, Johann) 1384/1394 as landgräflicher of Wolfershausen, bailiff to Spangenberg noted, was 1,384 follower of the Landgrave Hermann II. In his feud with Duke Otto I of Brunswick-Göttingen. In 1389 he is referred to as Johann von Wolfershausen, in 1394 Hans and Wolff von Wolffirshusen are mentioned as followers of Landgrave Hermann II in his feud with Ernst IX. von Uslar , and in 1395 Hans acquired an eighth of the Melsung tithe from Eckhard von Hundelshausen .

Wolf of Wolfershausen

In the 15th century, especially in the registers of the Hessian landgraves, numerous mentions of Wolf von Wolfershausen can be found, whereby - in view of the long period from 1398 to 1455 - it is probably a father and son of the same name. In March 1398 Wolf and his brother Hans sold their inherited sixths of the Rengshausen court to Landgrave Hermann II. In 1401 Wolf supported the Landgrave in his feud with Kurmainz , and in the same year he sold the Landgrave his share in the village of Quentel. In 1408 he and his wife Gertrud sold the Melsunger Kalandsbrothers income from a cherry meadow between Dagobertshausen and Niederbeisheim . In January 1409 he was one of the guarantors for the payment of the bridal treasure of the Landgrave's daughter Margarete to Duke Heinrich I of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , and in 1413 he was mentioned again as the secret counselor and surety of Landgrave Hermann II.

When Landgrave Hermann II died in 1413, his son Ludwig I was only 11 years old. Since Ludwig's mother Margarete von Nürnberg had already died in 1406, a five-member Regency Council took over the affairs of government until King Sigismund personally enfeoffed Ludwig on May 27, 1417 in Constance . Wolf von Wolfershausen, previously court master of the young Hereditary Prince and district judge , was one of the five members of this body. In 1414 and 1415 he was still referred to as Hofmeister. 1415/16 Even after Ludwig I came of age in 1416 and his enfeoffment by King Sigismund, Wolf von Wolfershausen was still a princely councilor until at least 1428.

On June 15, 1414 he was the landgrave's surety for a debt of 2000 guilders towards Simon von Wallenstein and his sons Albrecht and Kurt. A few days later, on June 24th, 1414, Landgrave Ludwig I announced that his father and now he himself had enfeoffed the secret council Wolf von Wolfershausen with a number of fields, meadows, gardens and tithes of income in the vicinity of Melsungen the extinction of those of Schlutwinsdorf had fallen; At the same time he stated that he had inherited Wolf von Wolfershausen's fiefdom of 3/16 of the Rengshausen court, a quarter of Quentel, tenth income in Obermelsungen, four Hufen land in Altenritte and Elgershausen , the market law (i.e. the income from the fair in Melsungen as part des Burglehens ) as well as the house and the farmstead in Melsungen, which he was living in at the time. On August 22, 1414, Wolf von Wolfershausen was one of the landgrave councilors who decided a dispute over the payment of tithes between the Breitenau convent and its abbot Heinrich von Wolfershausen, Wolf's close relative, on the one hand, and the residents of Dörnhagen, on the other, in favor of the monastery. In April 1415, as marshal and court master of the landgrave, he was one of the issuers of the document in which Hermann von Schlutwirsdorf, abbot of the Breitenau monastery, and the local convent demarcated their assets, income and various rights and obligations from one another and thereby focused on older ones Agreements made under the Breitenau abbots Johann von Wolfershausen, Hermann von Gilsa and Heinrich von Wolfershausen related. In September 1416, Wolf von Wolfershausen and his wife Gertrud donated annual income from their estates in Obermelsungen , Rockenhausen and Großenritte to the convent of the Breitenau monastery as a souls foundation . In 1419 Wolf bought a Vorwerk zu Mühlbach as well as an eighth of Quentel from Gottfried von Wallenstein. In 1417, Wolf again served the landgrave as guarantor.

After that there is a longer pause in the landgraves' regests, until in 1428 a Wolf von Wolfrshusen reappeared as the Landgrave's council and in 1432 a Wolff von Wolfirshusen, which probably indicates that it is now about the son. He was court master of Landgrave Ludwig I and, at the latest, from 1434 landgrave bailiff in the office of Homberg and the last male offspring of his family.

In 1429 Wolf von Wolfershausen, his wife Gertrud and his daughter Margarethe, for the sake of their souls, their parents and their heirs, gave the Hasungen Monastery the pair of bot shoes and 5 Schillings of Hessian pfennigs to be delivered to them every year. In May 1430 he was a member and spokesman of an arbitration tribunal meeting in Homberg , which brought about an agreement between the abbot Johann Rotzmul of the Spieskappel Abbey and the judges of the Zent Homberg on the religious fiefs of the Abbey , in March 1433 two arbitration tribunals, the dispute between the Haydau monastery and the community of Neumorschen because of services to be rendered to the landgrave and because of lap payments . In 1434 he sealed a comparison between the Canons 'Monastery and the Women' s Choir Monastery in Spieskappel via Seelgerät donations . In June 1435 he headed an arbitration tribunal that settled a dispute about the Vorwerk in Kerstenhausen , and in November of the same year he sealed a transfer of property from the Mosheim couple to the landgrave. In 1444 he is one of four men pin the ladies pin Kaufungen called the mutual debts of the Abbess Elisabeth of Waldeck should decide and six canons of the collegiate church of Kaufungen. In 1448 he sealed a pledge of property in Melsungen, in 1449 he testified to a donation to the Eppenberg Charterhouse . and in 1452 he testified to a court hearing that took place at Brunslar between the Breitenau monastery and the pastor of Neuenbrunslar .

In April 1453 he resigned, probably for reasons of age and since his only son Heinrich had already died, the new Hersfeld abbot Ludwig III. Vitzthum von Eckstädt owns his church fief held by the Hersfeld Abbey in Obermelsungen, including the Vorwerk in Rengshausen.

He died in 1454. His two daughters Elisabeth, married to Curt I. Treusch von Buttlar zu Brandenfels (1432–1456), and Margarethe, married to Rabe IV. Von Boyneburg-Hohenstein, survived from his marriage to Gertrud von Göswein . When Wolf died, his daughters inherited his allodies and spiritual fiefs; Landgrave Ludwig I gave the landgrave-Hessian fiefdom to son-in-law Rabe IV von Boyneburg-Hohenstein, who sold them to cousins ​​Sittich and Kaspar von Berlepsch.
