Zeisolf-Wolfram

The Zeisolf-Wolfram family , also Zeisolf-Wolframe or Wolfram-Zeisolfe (scr. Zeizolf / Ceizolf ), was a count family with ancestral castle near Mühlacker , today's north of Baden-Württemberg . They were probably related to the Konradinern and Sieghardingern through female lines.

The family eventually became influential in the northwestern areas of the Nahegau and Trechirgau . There is a possibility that they are the direct ancestors of the Spanheimers and Counts of Sponheim . In addition, the families Dürrmenz , Enzberg , Magenheim and Niefern come from Zeisolf-Wolfram .

Tribe list

The tribe list was prepared according to Donald C. Jackman , whose thesis is, however, controversial, as it is not based on documents, but largely on name research:
