29. WAHLENMAIER

Most of the places shown within this document are located in Württemberg, the historic region of southwestern Germany that lies between Baden, to the west, and Bavarian Swabia, to the east. The region is centered on Stuttgart, the city that served as the seat of its rulers. The Wah- lenmaiers and associated families originated some twenty miles northeast of Stuttgart, near the heights that divide the watersheds of the Rems and Murr rivers, both of which join the Neckar below and to the north of Stuttgart. Backnang today is the largest city on the Murr River. Württemberg was recognized as a duchy from 1495 until 1806, when it was raised to the rank of a kingdom.[1] It remained a kingdom until the monarchy was abolished in 1918, along with the Hohenzollern monarchy of the Empire, and the title of the head of the ruling family reverted to Duke.[2] Most of the territory of the kingdom is incorporated into the modern state (Land) of Baden-Württemberg. Steinbuck (no. 1) was held of the duchy by the monastery of Adelberg, and was known as an administrative center as late as 1524.[3] Langenberg (nos. 1–4) consisted of four fees of the duchy of Württemberg during the Middle Ages, three held in common with Rudersberg, and one held of a convent in Steinenberg.[4] The counts of Württemberg acquired Oberbrüden (nos. 4–6) by purchase in 1426.[5] Aichstrut (no. 6), named by 1271, passed with Welzheim from the Hohen- staufen kingdom into the possession of the Rechberg family. The county acquired half of the Welzheim fief by 1374, and administered the whole after 1418. The duchy took sole possession in 1718.[6] Backnang (nos. 6–7), named by 1134, was held by the margraviate of Baden in 1245, but the counts of Württemberg acquired its jurisdiction by the early fourteenth century.[7] Also in 1245, Maubach (nos. 6–7) was confirmed in the possession of a convent in Backnang.[8]

1. WilhelmG Wahlenmaier (?HansH)[9] may be the one who was born at Steinbach, which is usually identified with the parish of Rudersberg, and baptized in the parish of Welzheim, on 28

October 1607, son of Hans Wahlenmaier and his wife Waldburga, daughter of Jurg Fischer of Steinbach, with sponsor Wilhelm Fischer of Steinbach,[10] but this identification is not definitive- ly proven. He certainly was born about 1609, and died at Langenberg in the parish of Welzheim on 30 November 1658, aged 49 years.[11] He married by 1638, probably by about 1635, Barbara ____. They seem to have moved from Steinbruck to Langenberg shortly after their son Michael was born in 1641. She married secondly as Wilhelm’s widow, on 20 July 1660 at Langenberg, to Adam Rabbolt, son of Hans Rabbolt.[12] She appears to be the woman born about 1602, and died on 13 June 1683 at Langenberg, aged 81 years, as wife of Adam Rapold of Langenberg.[13] Children of WilhelmG and Barbara (____) Wahlenmaier are: i.

2. MichaelF Wahlenmaier (WilhelmG, ?HansH) was born 13 September 1641. Adam Ackher, miller of Klaffenbach, was his sponsor then,[24] but a second baptismal record was entered out of sequence in the Welzheim register, under date of 21 October 1641, in a different hand from the other baptisms that year. This time Michael seems to have had Michael Wahl and Waldburga his wife, of Rudersberg, for sponsors.[25] He died in the parish of Welzheim on 27 April 1701,

Maier, 1, iii.), with Ursula, wife of Peter Ruopp of Gebenweiler, as sponsor.[28] Michael’s first wife appears to be the “Elisabetha, Michel Wahlen ux.” who died 21 January 1689 at Langenberg, aged 45 years [sic].[29] As a widower, Michael married second, on 13 August 1689 at Langenberg, Anna Margaretha Kleinmann.[30] She was born at Welzheim and baptized on 22 November 1662, daughter of Georg and Sophia (Eisenmann) Kleinmann, with sponsors Christoph Greiner and wife Anna Maria.[31] She was born by calculation on 24 November 1662 [sic], and died in Welzheim on 19 January 1729, as the wife of Mathaeus Schwartz of Langenberg, aged 66 years, 8 weeks, and 1 day.[32] As Margaretha, widow of Michael Wahlenmaier, she was married secondly on 13 September 1701 to Matthaus Schwartz, unmarried son of Jacob Schwartz of Rienhartz.[33] Children of MichaelF and Elisabetha (Maier) Wahlenmaier, born at Langenberg, are: i.

JacobE Wahlenmaier (MichaelF, WilhelmG, ?HansH) was born in Langenberg, by calculation on 4 July 1684, and was baptized on 9 July 1684, with sponsor Hannß Knödler of the same place.[56] He died in Langenberg on 10 January 1772, aged 87 years, 6 months, and 6 days, and was buried two days later.[57] He married first in Welzheim on 2 October 1707 Dorothea Wahl.[58] She was born about June 1683 at Breitenfürst in the parish of Welzheim, and was baptized on 29 June 1683, daughter of Peter and Dorothea (Schaff) Wahl (see 929. Wahl, 2, xi.). The sponsors at her baptism were Catharina, widow of Johan Jacob Mathius, and Anna Catharina, wife of Friderich Linden.[59] Dorothea died at Langenberg on 28 March 1755, aged 72 years less three months.[60] Jacob married second in Langenberg on 18 November 1755 Catharina (____) Seuffer, widow of Jacob Seuffer of Steinsfel.[61] They appear to be the old Jakob Wahlenmaier and wife Catharina who were inhabitants of Langenberg in 1770, both baptized as Lutherans.[62] Children of JacobE and Dorothea (Wahl) Wahlenmaier, the first born at Breitenfürst and the others at Langenberg, are: i.

He died at Oberbrüden, parish of Oberbrüden, on 29 November 1787, aged 74 years, 1 month and 13 days.[86] He had lived at Oberbrüden since his marriage there, on 19 November 1743, to Eva Catharina (Kübler) Badmann, as her second husband.[87] She was baptized on 25 October 1705 in Murrhardt, Württemberg, daughter of Michael and Ursula (Klenck) Kübler of Neustetten in this parish (see 465. Kübler, no. 4, vii.), with sponsors Hanß Schwartz of Klingen, his wife Eva, and their single daughter Maria Catharina.[88] Eva Catharina died in Oberbrüden, probably on 19 Janu- ary 1777 (the numeral is difficult to read), and was buried there on 21 January 1777. She was aged 71 years and 3 months less 6 days, so her birth date by calculation would be the same as her baptism.[89] She had first married, 10 May 1729 at Oberbrüden, Georg Friedrich Badmann,[90] usually called Friedrich. He was born at Hasselhof, and baptized at Oberbrüden on 23 May 1699, son of Peter and Ursula (Klein) Badmann, with sponsor Anna Maria Baier, daughter of Michael Baier of Rottmansberg.[91] Friedrich died on 17 January 1742 at Oberbrüden.[92] Children of Georg Friederich and Eva Catharina (Kübler) Badmann, born and baptized at Oberbrüden, are: i.
