To the boy (noble family)
The patricians for the boy were a noble family that can be found mainly in Mainz and Frankfurt am Main .
history
The young patrician family has been recorded in Mainz since the middle of the 13th century. The dynasty, along with the lion heads, was one of the oldest in the city and its members were often at the head of the city administration. It belonged to the nobility "Nobilium ordini" eligible for a donation , such as those of Humbrecht , Gensfleisch, Landeck and Molsberg . In 1411, the guilds caused an uproar against the patricians , as a result of which 112 people emigrated to emphasize their claim to the privileges of tax and duty exemption, including several from the family "zum Junge". They spread to Frankfurt, to Oppenheim , to the Rheingau , as well as to the next places around the city. During the Mainz collegiate feud, the family sided with the cathedral custodian and counter-archbishop Diether von Isenburg , which is why the “Hof zum Junge” was confiscated in 1462 and handed over to the Brömser family . 800 citizens, including those for the boy , were expelled from the city.
The first representative of the Frankfurt branch of the family was Ort zum Junge (1405-1483), who was accepted into the noble society of Alten Limpurg as early as 1430 . In 1446 he built the house zum Korb on the Großer Kornmarkt and in 1477 he founded an inheritance funeral in the Barfüßerkirche , for which the Barfüßer accepted him into their brotherhood ; his wife Katharina von Heringen was buried there in 1486 and he himself was buried there in 1519. At the beginning of the 16th century the family belonged to the most important Frankfurt families around Hamman von Holzhausen , Philipp Fürstenberger and Johann von Glauburg , who also came from Mainz . Members of the family represented the imperial city of Frankfurt at various imperial and city days .
The last male representative of the family was the Austrian General Field Marshal Johann Hieronymus zum Junge (born October 21, 1660 in Frankfurt am Main; † August 25, 1732 in Brussels ), who was raised to the imperial and hereditary-Austrian baron in 1707 . After the family is to Boys street in Frankfurt's bush near the main cemetery named.
