Distribution of the Gemming and Hirsau Possessions in the Region
In 1407 the Barons of Gemmingen took over from the knights of Steinegg and Tiefenbronn and took possession of the villages of Tiefenbronn, Friolzheim and Mühlhausen.
Later they also took as a fief, Steinegg, Heimsheim, Neuhausen, Hamberg, Schellbronn, Hohenwart and Lehningen as well as the "Gemeine Hagenschieß".
Of this group the village Friolzheim with all services and taxes was sold in 1461 to the Hirsau monastery.
The monastery had a lot of possessions and influence in southwest Germany.
Out of Friolzhem it also had the patronage over Nussdorf, Eberdingen, Tiefenbronn, Malmsheim, Weil der Stadt, Schafhauser, Merklingen, Althenstett, Calw etc.
Dietrich Kuechler took me on a tour of the Kirsau Monastery which gives us the history of this area. He is currently writing the sippenbuch for Friolzheim Germany. He has been kind enough to share the information below that he found on the Kiemle family.
