Fürer von Haimendorf

The Fürer von Haimendorf are one of the oldest patrician families of the imperial city of Nuremberg - first mentioned in a document in 1295. The Fürer were, with short interruptions, from 1501 until the end of the imperial city period in 1806, represented in the "Inner Council" and belonged to them the “ dance statute ” to the “first admitted” genders eligible for council and thus to the Nuremberg patriciate .

The family seat is still Haimendorf Castle, which was inherited in 1476 from Tucher's property (destroyed in the Second Margrave War , later rebuilt on the old foundation walls).

Probably originally from Alsace , the Fürer family settled in the imperial city of Nuremberg in the 13th century . In 1295, King Adolf of Nassau pledged the Heroldsberg office to Konrad Fürer.

The rulers gained prosperity through trade with France and Poland , but forestry and mining were also lucrative fields of activity. Around 1500 they rose to become the leading mining companies in Nuremberg. Their interest lay - like that of the Coburg merchant family Buchner (Bucher) - especially in Mansfeld and Thuringia copper mining and the Saiger trade . In 1491 Siegmund (II) Fürer (1436–1501) therefore took a stake in the Saigerhütte Gräfenthal, which was run by Moritz (I) Buchner (1451–1518) , [1] in which the family held shares until 1554. [2]Siegmund's son, the merchant and councilor Christoph Fürer (1479-1537), founded a Saiger trading cartel in 1534 on the Nuremberg market. In addition, the Fürer were active in the credit business and traded in yew wood for weapon production. At the end of the 15th century he was appointed to the Inner Council of the Free Imperial City - from then on the political fortunes of Nuremberg were determined.

In 1476, when Sigmund Fürer married Anna Tucher , the Haimendorf Castle came into the hands of the family, which has been their ancestral home ever since. In 1599 the family was granted the title of nobility . Three lines emerged, named after the respective mansions : "Haimendorf", " Himmelgarten " (1568-1844) and " Steinbühl " (1630-1677). Only the Haimendorf main line still exists today. It was divided into an older, Catholic (Christoph'schen) branch in Bohemia and a younger, Protestant (Carl-Gottlieb'schen) in Nuremberg. [3]

Both were entered in the royal Bavarian nobility register on March 4, 1813. From the Bohemian branch, Karl Fürer von Haimendorf and Wolkersdorf owned the Hojeschin estate near Setsch from 1814 to 1839 . Descendants of the two branches live in Haimendorf and Munich , as well as in Vienna , near Linz and in London .

The Fürer von Haimendorf family was closely connected to the Gnadenberg monastery for centuries and also provided an abbess , Elisabeth Fürer .
