Mediatized House of Pappenheim
House of Pappenheim The
masters of Pappenheim held the office of "Reichsmarschall" (imperial marshal). Georg I. (c. 1430-1485) founder of
the Treuchtlingen line inherited the upper and town castle and the market town of Treuchtlingen from his brother and mother.
One of Georg's grandsons, Ulrich, was the imperial marshal who brought Luther to the questioning before the emperor in Worms
in 1531. Marshal Hans Georg (1535-1568) established
the Reformation in 1559 and his successor, Reichserbmarschall Veit (1535-1600) had the castle renovated in 1575. Through his
second marriage Veit had a son, Gottfried Heinrich, who was born on the 8th June 1594 in Treuchtlingen castle who was to become
a field marshal of the Holy Roman Empire in the Thirty Years' War. 
The lordship went to Gottfried Heinrich's
14 year old son Wolfgang Adam (1618-1647). When he died during a duel the 200-year-old lordship of the Pappenheim-Treuchtlingen
line ended. The Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach took over half of the castle and half of the market town as part of his fiefdom.
He based his ownership of the second half of the castle on the fact that Gottfried Heinrich only paid back half of what he
owed him. The last Margrave of Ansbach, Karl Alexander,
abdicated in 1791 and gave his possessions to his relations the Brandenburgs and thus to the Prussian royal family. From 1806
on Treuchtlingen belonged to the newly founded kingdom of Bavaria. Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim (May 29, 1594 - November 17,
1632) was field marshal of the Holy Roman Empire in the Thirty Years' War. Pappenheim was born at the little town of Pappenheim on the Altmühl, in Bavaria, the seat of a free
lordship of the empire, from which the ancient family to which he belonged derived its name. He was educated at Altdorf
and at Tübingen, and subsequently travelled in southern and central Europe, mastering the various languages, and seeking
knightly adventures. His stay in these countries led him eventually to adopt the Roman Catholic faith (1614), to which he
devoted the rest of his life. At the outbreak of the great war he abandoned the legal and diplomatic career on which he had
embarked, and in his zeal for the faith took service in Poland and afterwards under the Catholic League. He
soon became a lieutenant-colonel, and displayed great courage and ability at the battle of the White Mountain near Prague
(November 8, 1620), where he was left for dead on the field. In the following year he fought against Mansfeld in western Germany,
and in 1622 became colonel of a regiment of cuirassiers. In 1623, as an ardent friend of Spain, the ally of his sovereign
and the champion of his faith, he raised troops for the Italian war and served with the Spaniards in Lombardy and the Grisons.
It was his long and heroic defence of the post of Riva on the Lake of Garda which first brought him conspicuously to the front. In
1626 Maximilian I of Bavaria, the head of the League, recalled him to Germany and entrusted him with the suppression of a
dangerous peasant rebellion which had broken out in Upper Austria. Pappenheim swiftly carried out his task, encountering a
most desperate resistance, but always successful; and in a few weeks he had crushed the rebellion with ruthless severity (actions
of Efferdingen, Gmünden, Vöcklabruck and Wolfsegg, 15-30 November 1626). After this he served with
Tilly against Christian IV of Denmark, and besieged and took Wolfenbüttel. His hope of obtaining the sovereignty and
possessions of the evicted prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel was, after a long intrigue, definitely disappointed. In 1628 he was made a count of the empire. The siege and storm of Magdeburg followed, and
Pappenheim, like Tilly, has been accused of the most savage cruelty in this transaction. But it is known that, disappointed
of Wolfenbüttel, Pappenheim desired the profitable sovereignty of Magdeburg, and it can hardly be maintained that he
deliberately destroyed a prospective source of wealth. From a military point of view Pappenheim's conduct
was excellent; his measures were skillful, and his personal valour, as always, conspicuous. So much could not be said of his
tactics at the battle of Breitenfeld, the loss of which was not a little due to the impetuous cavalry general, who was never
so happy as when leading a great charge of horse. The retreat of the imperialists from the lost field he covered, however,
with care and skill, and subsequently he won great glory by his operations on the lower Rhine and the Weser in rear of the
victorious army of Gustavus Adolphus. Much-needed reinforcements for the king of Sweden were constantly detained by Pappenheim's
small and newly-raised force in the north-west. His operations were far-ranging and his restless activity dominated
the country from Stade to Kassel, and from Hildesheim to Maastricht. Being now a field marshal in the imperial service, he
was recalled to join Wallenstein, and assisted the generalissimo in Saxony against the Swedes; but, was again despatched towards
Cologne and the lower Rhine. In his absence a great battle became imminent, and Pappenheim was hurriedly recalled. He appeared
with his horsemen in the midst of the battle of Lützen (November 16, 1632). His furious attack was for the moment successful.
As Rupert at Marston Moor sought Cromwell as his worthiest opponent, so now Pappenheim sought Gustavus. At about the same
time as the king was killed, Pappenheim received a mortal wound in another part of the field. He died later the same day or
early the next morning en route to Leipzig, where his body was embalmed at the Pleissenburg fortress. The Titles and Styles of the House
The present members of this family bear the title Graf
or Gräfin zu Pappenheim, together with the formal appellation of His or Her Illustrious Highness.
