Middle Hohenfelds

The following genealogy starts with Otto von Hohenfeld and his second wife. Most genealogies start from this point, as the more reliable part of the family history begins here with him. Therefore, the counting of given names also starts over from this point onwards.

Otto I von Hohenfeld zu Attersee died 1320 ⚭ 1. Catharina Ecker died ~1280 ⚭ 2. n.n. von Symaningen

Rüdiger I died 1349 ⚭ 1. Anna von Schweintall died ~1320 ⚭ 2. Margaretha von Aichberg [de] died ~1330 (widow of Georg Jörger)

Ulrich I died 1335

Otto II died >1355 ⚭ N.N.

Conrad von Treubach ⚭ Dorothea died 1335

Rüdiger I died 1349 ⚭ 1. Gertraud N.N. (widow of Conrad von Oedt)

Notes and references

Notes

1. There is confusion as to which of the three Babonid Count Babos was the father of the legendary multitude of 32 sons and 8 daughters, from one of which literature suggests the Hohenfeld descend. Babo I died in either 1001 or 1002, Babo II died between 1020 and 1049, but Babo III is the most likely candidate and died between 1080 and 1088. See Babonids.
2. In his work, on which this tree has been largely based, Joh. Max Humbracht (1707) begins the Hohenfeld genealogy with "Babo the first lord of Hochfeld", one of the 32 sons of Babo von Abensberg "who lived in 1046 and 1051", who was the father of Heinrich lord of Hochfeld. It is possible that this Babo von Hochfeld can be equated with the Babonid Count Babo III, and even that his son Heinrich I, who according to Humbracht died around 1102, can be equated with the Babonid Henry IV, who died around 1101. See Babonids.
3. Heinrich von Neuburg is as of yet unattested, but is referenced to have been a son of Henry II of Formbach and Adelheid of Sulzbach. Both parent's families were affiliated with the ruling houses in among others Bavaria and Swabia. See County of Formbach [de] and Sulzbach (noble house) [de].
4. The Wolfratshausen were a branch of the Counts of Andechs, themselves likely descended from the Luitpoldings and affiliated with ruling houses around Bavaria. Kunegund is unattested but referenced to be a daughter Otto III von Wolfratshausen and Lauritta, making her a great-granddaughter of Margrave Ernest of Babenberg of Austria.
5. Maria is referenced to have been a daughter of Hartwig von Haag and his wife Ava von Pöchlarn. The former, of an Edelfrei family was the first ruling family of the County of Haag [de]. The latter would have likely descended from Rüdiger von Bechelaren, as the name Rüdiger recurs in their firstborn son and the Hohenfeld generations thereafter.
6. Otto von Hohenfeld is referenced have been Lord of Waasen, likely referring to Waasen in Grieskirchen in Upper Austria, an early indicator of the family's definitive settling in Austrian territories. He was married to a Traun, of the Austrian 'Apostle Houses', i.e. the families which had already played a historical role during the period of Babenberg rule of Austria (976 to 1246).
