history

A noble monastery brother Heinrich von Wormelingen appears in a document around 1120 in Hirsau. On July 8, 1174, Count Palatine Hugo von Tübingen commemorates his "karissimi ministerialis Anshelmi militis de Wurmelingen" in a document.

1225 appears in a document of the Kreuzlingen monastery under the witnesses Dictericus de Wurmelingen and Rodolf Sacerdos vice plebanus in Wurmelingen, in 1247 Agnes von Wurmlingen zu Sindelfingen died. Among the canons of this monastery are those of Wurmlingen, especially Konrad von Wurmlingen and his brothers Reinhard, Walter and Veit, 1269–1277. In 1317 the letter confirming the freedom of the Bebenhausen monastery by Count Wilhelm, Heinrich and Gottfried von Tübingen, and Ott von Wurmlingen among the witnesses.

The two brothers Eberhard and Reinhard von Wurmlingen were Tübingen ministers and in 1252 handed over a farm in Wurmlingen to Count Wilhelm von Tübingen , which he handed over to the Kirchberg convent .

A historical connection between Wurmlingen near Rottenburg and Wurmlingen near Tuttlingen could not be proven for a long time. A document, however, indicates a connection: the brothers Albert, Friederich and Heinrich von Wurmlingen, called the Hohin, Lords of Wurmlingen near Tuttlingen ( Wurmlingen Castle ) and ministers of the Counts of Zollern , sell their vineyards in Pfaffenberg on December 7, 1252 ( Kapellenberg) to the Kirchberg convent with the consent of their master, Count Friedrich von Zollern .

Trunk lines

The noble family branched out in the 13th century into the lines of Steinhilben , von Mörsperg and Märheld.

Fairytale hero

The nickname Märheld goes back to the legend of Dietrich von Bern . In 1277 it is called Dictericus der Mörhild zu Wurmlingen, and in another document from 1301 it is called Dictericus dictus Merchelt de Wurmlingen. The Rottenburg line of the Märheld existed from 1292 to 1519 and provided several mayors there. With Kleinhans Märheld, the family died out in 1519.

from Mörsperg

This line was named after Mörsberg Castle.
